Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Ernst Moritz Arndt: The Singer of the German Fatherland; Compiled From the German I have been asked to prefix a few pages of introduction to this book, which resembles my own "Life and Times of Stein," recently published, so far that it might almost as appropriately bear for a second title, "Germany and Prussia in the Napoleonic Age." The Napoleonic age is only now beginning to be studied from a political point of view. It has not hitherto been understood that the wars which filled it concealed a great European revolution, in which the most important ideas of the present age first took shape. It has been overlooked that the conquests and reconquests and the territorial redistributions brought about, particularly in Germany, by those wars are important for their own sake, and not merely as incidents in a military romance. It has also been overlooked that the European Revolution, which was involved in Napoleon´s fall, had a character of its own, and was by no means a mere extension to all Europe of the ideas of the French Revolution.
