Softcover. Condition: Good. The Venture of Islam has been honored as a magisterial work of the mind since its publication in early 1975. In this three-volume study, illustrated with charts and maps, Hodgson traces and interprets the historical development of Islamic civilization from before the birth of Muhammad to the middle of the twentieth century. This work grew out of the famous course on Islamic civilization that Hodgson created and taught for many years at the University of Chicago.In this concluding volume of The Venture of Islam, Hodgson describes the second flowering of Islam: the Safavi, Timuri, and Ottoman empires. The final part of the volume analyzes the widespread Islamic heritage in today's world."This is a nonpareil work, not only because of its command of its subject but also because it demonstrates how, ideally, history should be written."-The New Yorker.

Seller: Pali, Roma, RM, Italy
Brossura Editoriale. Condition: Nuovo. 8vo, br. ed. pp. 522. Gli «Assassini» sono noti come una cerchia di fanatici sicari musulmani, responsabili di un numero enorme di delitti efferati e di azioni suicide, che compivano nella convinzione di guadagnarsi così il Paradiso - questo almeno era quanto credevano dopo essersi storditi con l'hashish (donde il loro nome arabo Hasisiyyun, «assassini»). Sin qui la leggenda. Ma la vera storia dei Nizariti (questo il nome della setta) è ben più affascinante. Nati nel 1094 da uno scisma interno all'Ismailismo, a sua volta un ramo dello sciismo, i Nizariti conquistarono in breve tempo una serie di fortezze tra la Siria, l'Iraq e l'Iran e vi si asserragliarono. Da lì lanciarono una sfida all'intero mondo islamico, che li considerava temibili eretici, e per quasi due secoli seppero tenergli testa sia militarmente sia culturalmente, elaborando una versione dell'assetto sociale, politico e religioso dell'Islam radicalmente alternativa a quella sunnita che si andava allora affermando. E il coronamento di questa visione fu, nel 1164, la proclamazione della Qiy?ma o «Resurrezione», cioè l'abrogazione dei vincoli della sar?'a, la legge religiosa, e l'istituzione del Paradiso in terra con la rinascita dei fedeli nizariti a una vita spirituale immortale. In questo libro, divenuto subito un classico, Hodgson non solo traccia per la prima volta la complessa storia dei Nizariti, ma ne ricostruisce la raffinata e stupefacente dottrina, a partire dai testi sacri della setta e dai dotti scritti dei loro strenui oppositori.

Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. 8VO, br. ed. pp.352. Is the history of the modern world the history of Europe writ large? Or is it possible to situate the history of modernity as a world historical process apart from its origins in Western Europe? In this posthumous collection of essays, Marshall G. S. Hodgson challenges adherents of both Eurocentrism and multiculturalism to rethink the place of Europe in world history. He argues that the line that connects Ancient Greeks to the Renaissance to modern times is an optical illusion, and that a global and Asia-centred history can better locate the European experience in the shared histories of humanity. Hodgson then shifts the historical focus and in a parallel move seeks to locate the history of Islamic civilisation in a world historical framework. In so doing he concludes that there is but one history - global history - and that all partial or privileged accounts must necessarily be resituated in a world historical context. The book also includes an introduction by the editor, Edmund Burke, contextualising Hodgson's work in world history and Islamic history.

This includes a theoretical discussion of cultural patterning in the Islamic world and the Occident.
