It's assuming I have a detailed knowledge of the politics and culture of 17th century England. It's 75 endnotes per chapter with 67 of them being nothing but citations and the remaining having good information I actually want to read so I have to decide whether to turn to the back 4 times a page to make sure I get everything or risk missing something helpful to try to stay in the flow of reading. After complaining a few times about the book Shawn saw me reading it again and asked why I was still bothering. I had just read the sentence: "It was with the help of Indian culture that Tryon freed himself from Christianities anthropocentric value system and made a leap into another moral dimension." I returned the book to the library. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
"A grand history made up of interlocking biographies of extraordinary figures from the English Civil War to the era of Romanticism and beyond. The Bloodless Revolution is filled with stories of spectacular adventure in India and subversive scientific and moral controversies carved out at the dawn of the modern age." "When seventeenth-century European travelers returned from India, they triggered a crisis in the conscience of the Western world by telling stories of a meatless society fueled entirely by vegetables, milk, and fruit. Dissenting from the entrenched custom of eating meat. Thomas Tryon established a quasi-Hindu society in London, and his extraordinary books later converted Benjamin Franklin to vegetarianism."--Jacket. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
