Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from George Washington Our story, which is a little that of the United States as well as a short history of the life of George Washington, begins in the fifteenth century with the great ancestor, Columbus, and with the great fifteenth century movement which Columbus represented - the Renaissance. ´Renaissance,´ as I suppose all of my readers will know, means literally, ´Re-birth,´ and the rebirth which took place in Europe in the fifteenth century was the rebirth of civilisation after the centuries known to History as the ´Dark Ages´ and the ´Middle Ages.´ Our modern nations were all formed by tribes of barbarians who overran and destroyed the Roman Empire, although to all who came into contact with her, Rome gave traditions of arts and laws that they never wholly lost in their darkest days. Our barbarous ancestors absorbed all they could understand of her institutions and built up systems of law and government and religion, invented styles of architecture and painting that became truly decorative, and developed popular literatures that we still treasure. What was chiefly lacking in this medieval civilisation, for it became a distinct and mature civilisation, was breadth and freedom, the grace and repose of the classical world, the liberty and freshness of a wide outlook.
