Mit �Die gro�en M�chte� entwirft Leopold von Ranke eine der einflussreichsten politischen Deutungen des neuzeitlichen Europa. Ausgehend vom Zeitalter Ludwigs XIV. beschreibt er die gro�en Staaten nicht als blo�e Akteure einzelner Ereignisse, sondern als lebendige Individualit�ten mit eigenen Kr�ften, Interessen und geschichtlichen Berufungen. England, Frankreich, �sterreich, Preu�en und Russland erscheinen in einem fortw�hrenden Ringen um Gleichgewicht, Macht und Selbstbehauptung. Ranke denkt Geschichte hier nicht moralisch oder ideologisch, sondern realistisch: Politik entsteht aus der Wechselwirkung realer Kr�fte, nicht aus Lehrs�tzen. Der Text verbindet klare Analyse mit hoher sprachlicher Verdichtung und er�ffnet einen weiten Blick auf das europ�ische Staatensystem, dessen Grundlinien bis weit ins 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wirksam bleiben. Ein klassischer Text politischer Geschichtsschreibung, der analytische Sch�rfe mit literarischer Autorit�t vereint.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
