Recapture[s] a lost moment when a radically democratic commonwealth seemed possible.Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker[Healy] makes a convincing argument that the turbulent era qualifies as truly revolutionary, not simply because of its cascading political upheavals, but in terms of far-reaching changes within society.... Wryly humorous and occasionally bawdy The Wall Street JournalThe seventeenth century was a revolutionary age for the English. It started as they suddenly found themselves ruled by a Scotsman, and it ended in the shadow of an invasion by the Dutch. Under James I, England suffered terrorism and witch panics. Under his son Charles, state and society collapsed into civil war, to be followed by an army coup and regicide. For a short timefor the only time in historyEngland was a republic. There were bitter struggles over faith and Parliament asserted itself like never before. There were no boundaries to politics. In fiery, plague-ridden London, in coffee shops and alehouses, new ideas were forged that were angry, populist, and almost impossible for monarchs to control.But the story of this century is less well known than it should be. Myths have grown around key figures. People may know about the Gunpowder Plot and the Great Fire of London, but the Civil War is a half-remembered mystery to many. And yet the seventeenth century has never seemed more relevant. The British constitution is once again being bent and contorted, and there is a clash of ideologies reminiscent of when Roundhead fought Cavalier.The Blazing World is the story of this strange, twisting, fascinating century. It shows a society in sparkling detail. It was a new world of wealth, creativity, and daring curiosity, but also of greed, pugnacious arrogance, and colonial violence....2076902The Blazing World235306https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-blazing-world/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1873481/93a5f797-2d76-46f5-bd66-3fcf2276de46.jpg?v=638590335648030000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239780593318362_W3siaWQiOiIzNDBkMDYxOC0wYWU3LTQ3ZDAtOTY1Zi1mZGQyNzNmZDRlMzciLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMwNiwiZGlzY291bnQiOjcxLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIzNSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780593318362_A fresh, exciting history of seventeenth-century England, a time of revolution when society was on fire and simultaneously forging the modern worldThe seventeenth century was a revolutionary age for the English.
