Books with author Mr. Carlo Thomas

The seeds of the Civil Wars were sown in the reign of James I. Carlyle thought; working on this manuscript that his opinion of Cromwell rose, to the point where he felt evidence of his true character could only be shown by the unquestionable evidence of his Letters and Speeches and set this aside in order to collect and edit them. The work was edited by Alexander Carlyle from the manuscripts left by Thomas Carlyle. Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish peasant who became one of the great names of English literature, was the most important social and political thinker of the Victorian era.

The French Revolution: A History was written by the Scottish essayist, philosopher, and historian Thomas Carlyle. The three-volume work, first published in 1837 (with a revised edition in print by 1857), charts the course of the French Revolution from 1789 to the height of the Reign of Terror (1793–94) and culminates in 1795. A massive undertaking which draws together a wide variety of sources, Carlyle's history—despite the unusual style in which it is written—is considered to be an authoritative account of the early course of the Revolution.

Excerpt from WorksNow, it must no doubt be granted, that so long as our invaluable constitution is preserved in its pristine purity, the British nation may exist in a state of comparative prosperity with very inadequate ideas of Goethe: but, at the same time, the present arrangement is an evil in its kind; slight, it is true, and easy to be borne, yet still more easy to be remedied, and which therefore ought to have been remedied ere now. Minds like Goethe's are the common property of all nations; and, for many reasons, all should have correct impressions of them.It is partly with the view of doing something to supply this want, that Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre is now pre sented to the English public. Written in its Author's forty fifth year, embracing hints or disquisitions on almost every leading point in life and literature, it affords us a more distinct view of his matured genius, his manner of thought and favourite subjects, than any of his other works. Nor is it Goethe alone whom it portrays; the prevailing taste of Germany is likewise indicated by it. Since the year 1795, when it first appeared at Berlin, numerous editions of Meister have been printed: critics of all ranks, and some of them dissenting widely from its doctrines, have loaded it with encomiums; its songs and poems are familiar to every German ear; the people read it, and speak of it, with an admiration approaching in many cases to enthusiasm.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
