Publisher's Synopsis
Arndt's Spirit of the Times is a historical book written by Ernst Moritz Arndt and published in 1808. The book is a reflection of the political and social climate of the time, and it is considered to be one of the most significant works of German literature. The book was written during the era of Napoleon, who was seen as a destroyer of the traditional European way of life. Arndt's work was so powerful that it led to the persecution of one of his colleagues, the unfortunate Palm of Erlangen, who was sacrificed by Napoleon for his involvement in the publication of the book. The Spirit of the Times is a passionate and eloquent defense of the German people and their culture, and it is a call to arms for all those who would fight for their freedom and independence. The book is an important historical document that offers a unique perspective on the political and social upheavals of the early 19th century, and it remains a testament to the enduring power of literature to inspire and motivate people in times of crisis.Containing Historical And Political Sketches, With Prognostics, Relative To Spain And Portugal, Russia, Turkey, Austria, France, And Bonaparte.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
