L'anthologie 'L'Histoire de la Politique Européenne en Cinq Ouvrages Classiques' explore avec une profondeur inégalée les thèmes complexes et interconnectés de la politique européenne à travers les âges. La collection regroupe des textes variés qui offrent une analyse critique des évolutions politiques majeures. Chaque contribution illustre un aspect différent de l'histoire européenne, de la diplomatie médiévale aux réformes constitutionnelles modernes, enrichissant l'analyse par leur diversité stylistique et intellectuelle. Les contributeurs de cette anthologie, dont Ernest Lavisse et Alexis de Tocqueville font partie, sont des figures emblématiques de l'historiographie européenne, chacun apportant une perspective unique fondée sur leurs expériences spécifiques et leurs contextes personnels. Lavisse, avec son souci méthodique de la chronologie, et Tocqueville, avec sa vision critique de la démocratie, participent tous deux à un dialogue interdisciplinaire riche et pertinent. Cette diversité d’approches permet de comprendre non seulement les faits historiques, mais également les philosophies qui ont façonné les politiques sur le continent. Cette...
By 1880, London, capital of the largest empire ever known, was the richest, most populous city in the world. And yet it remained an overcrowded, undergoverned city with huge slums gripped by poverty and disease. Over the next three decades, London began its transformation into a new kind of city - one of unprecedented size, dynamism and technological advance. In this highly evocative account, Stephen Iinwood defines an era of unique character and importance by delving into the lives and textures of the booming city. He takes us - by hansom cab, bicycle, electric tram or motor bus - from the glittering new department stores of Oxford Street to the synagogues and sweat shops of the East End, from bohemian bars and gaudy mushc halls to the well-kept gardens of Edwardian surburbia. 'Essential reading for the scholar, the historian and the lover of London. ..He is equally at home with the grand sweep and the human detail, always supported by immaculate research...Inwood can throw off with elegant ease a concise explanation of technicalities that the reader was vaguely aware of not understanding and perhaps meant to look up sometime.'

Long distance travel and mass tourism are not recent phenomena. Papers from the 2015 ASTENE Conference in Exeter demonstrate that over the centuries many individuals and groups of people have left the safety of their family home and travelled huge distances both for adventure and to learn more about other peoples and places.
Guibert was France’s foremost military theorist in the eighteenth century. He wrote two great treatises, but the second is often ignored in favor of the first, the General Essay on Tactics. That second treatise, the Defense of the System of Modern War, is presented here for the first time in English, with extensive annotations by the translator. In it, Guibert explores the beginnings of operational-level warfare, laying the groundwork for Napoleon and his successors.
