    PAPERBACK, very good, attractive copy, appears unused. MALIA, MARTIN E. History's locomotives: revolutions and the making of the modern world. Edited and with a foreword by Terence Emmons. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2006, 1st printing number line ending with 1, x, 360pp., . "This comparative history traces the West's revolutionary tradition and its culmination in the Communist revolutions of the twentieth century. Unique in breadth and scope, History's Locomotives offers a new interpretation of the origins and history of socialism as well as the meanings of the Russian Revolution, the rise of the Soviet regime, and the ultimate collapse of the Soviet Union. Martin Malia explores religious conflicts in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe, the revolutions in England, America, and France, and the twentieth-century Russian explosions into revolution. He concludes that twentieth-century revolutions have deep roots in European history and that revolutionary thought and action underwent a process of radicalization from one great revolution to the next. Malia offers an original view of the phenomenon of revolution and a fascinating assessment of its power as a driving force in history." - CONTENTS: Introduction : Delineating the problem -- Historic Europe: the medieval matrix and its internal contradictions, 1000-1400 -- Hussite Bohemia, 1415-1436: from heresy to proto-revolution -- Lutheran Germany, 1517-1555: the Reformation as semi-revolution -- Huguenot France, 1559-1598 -- The Netherlands' revolt, 1566-1609 -- England, 1640-1660-1688: from religious to political revolution -- America, 1776-1787: revolution as great good fortune -- France, 1789-1799: revolution as militant modernity -- From the first modern revolution to the first anticipated revolution, 1799-1848: the nineteenth century at a glance -- Marxism and the Second International, 1848-1914 -- Red October: the revolution to end all revolutions -- Conclusion and epilogue -- Appendix 1.

    Copertina rigida. Condition: Come nuovo. 631 p. ; 22 x 15 cm. Nuova collana storica. Attraverso la biografia del rivoluzionario russo Herzen l'autore esamina il periodo che va dal 1812 al 1855, dando un suo originale contributo all'analisi della genesi della teoria populista. Egli vede la nascita del populismo essenzialmente come contributo specifico e personale di una intellighenzia aperta, sensibile, ambiziosa, ma proveniente da un gruppo sociale privilegiato, quale era la nobiltà. Il fatto di vivere sotto un antico regime inglessibile e chiuso, che opprime i valori universali e assoluti di indipendenza e dignità, porta le aspirazioni libertarie e democratiche dell'intellighenzia a esprimersi solo come ideologia e l'opposizione politica diviene estremista e utopica. I populisti mirano così ad un passaggio diretto dalla monarchia assoluta al socialismo mediante la comune contadina o «obscina», eliminando la fase intermedia del liberalismo parlamentare borghese. Grande merito dell'autore è quello di non essersi chiuso nella situazione particolare ma di aver allargato la sua ricerca ai legami oggettivi con le correnti del pensiero dell'Occidente in particolare della Germania e della Francia. Titolo originale dell'opera: «Alexander Herzen and the birth of Russian socialism. 1812-1855». Traduzione di Livia De Felice. Legatura editoriale, coperta in cartone rigido in similpelle di colore blu, titolo impresso in bianco al dorso, muto il piatto, sovraccoperta illustrata a colori in carta patinata lucida.
