LANGER : The Thirty Years' War (ajánló)
German history intertwines with European history of the early 17th century, and "The Thirty Years' War" vividly presents a fascinating view of this entire era. According to Schiller, the Thirty Years' War "put out the spark of culture in Germany," a judgment that a less emotional approach does not sustain. More powerful than all the devastations of war was the creative genius of man.
In the midst of destruction it brought forth progress. This is the basic theme of this book, written to counterbalance those accounts that see the War as a parade of campaigns, battles, and states. The author shows the people coping with the rigours of war. His book spans the range of human ingenuity, from the production of worldly goods to the most subtle products of human reason and unreason. The glory and misery of the Thirty Years' War lies spread before us.
