Questo è probabilmente il miglior libro mai scritto sugli Asburgo in qualsiasi lingua, sicuramente il migliore che abbia mai letto... Studenti, studiosi e lettori in generale non troveranno mai una guida migliore alla storia degli Asburgo' Alan Sked, Times Literary Supplement In The Habsburgs, Martyn Rady racconta la storia epica di una dinastia e del mondo che ha costruito - e poi perso - nel corso di quasi un millennio. Da origini modeste, gli Asburgo crebbero in potere fino a ottenere il controllo del Sacro Romano Impero nel XV secolo. Poi, in appena pochi decenni, i loro possedimenti si espansero rapidamente fino a comprendere una vasta parte dell'Europa che si estendeva dall'Ungheria alla Spagna e dall'Estremo Oriente al Nuovo Mondo. La famiglia continuò a dominare l'Europa centrale fino alla catastrofe della prima guerra mondiale. Con la sua massa apparentemente disorganizzata di territori grandi e piccoli, il suo groviglio di leggi e privilegi e il suo miscuglio di lingue, l'Impero asburgico è sempre apparso casuale e incompleto. Ma qui Martyn Rady mostra le ragioni dell'incredibile resistenza della famiglia, guidata dalla convinzione che fossero destinati a governare il mondo come difensori della Chiesa cattolica romana, garanti della pace e patroni della cultura. Gli imperatori asburgici erano essi stessi assurdamente vari nei loro caratteri - da signori della guerra a contemplativi, da intelligenti a stupidi, da pigri a frenetici - ma tutti spinti dallo stesso senso di missione familiare. Sparsi in tutto il mondo, innumerevoli edifici, istituzioni e opere d'arte continuano a testimoniare il loro impatto travolgente. Gli Asburgo sono la storia definitiva di una dinastia straordinaria che, nel bene o nel male, ha plasmato l'Europa e il mondo.

Martyn Rady is Masaryk Professor of Central European History at University College London. He has written several major works on the history of Hungary, from the medieval period to the twentieth century, but has also written on topics as diverse as the Hussites, vampirism and the Emperor Charles V. Rady's last book, The Habsburgs, was described in the Times Literary Supplement as 'probably the best book ever written on the Habsburgs in any language'.
From modest origins, the Habsburgs grew in power to gain control of the Holy Roman Empire in the fifteenth century. Then, in just a few decades, their possessions rapidly expanded to take in a large part of Europe stretching from Hungary to Spain, and from the Far East to the New World. The family continued to dominate Central Europe until the catastrophe of the First World War.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'This is probably the best book ever written on the Habsburgs in any language, certainly the best I have ever read . Students, scholars and the general reader will never find a better guide to Habsburg history' Alan Sked, Times Literary SupplementIn The Habsburgs, Martyn Rady tells the epic story of a dynasty and the world it built - and then lost - over nearly a millennium.From modest origins, the Habsburgs grew in power to gain control of the Holy Roman Empire in the fifteenth century. Then, in just a few decades, their possessions rapidly expanded to take in a large part of Europe stretching from Hungary to Spain, and from the Far East to the New World. The family continued to dominate Central Europe until the catastrophe of the First World War.With its seemingly disorganized mass of large and small territories, its tangle of laws and privileges and its medley of languages, the Habsburg Empire has always appeared haphazard and incomplete. But here Martyn Rady shows the reasons for the family's incredible endurance, driven by the belief that they were destined to rule the world as defenders of the Roman Catholic Church, guarantors of peace and patrons of learning. The Habsburg emperors were themselves absurdly varied in their characters - from warlords to contemplatives, from clever to stupid, from idle to frenzied - but all driven by the same sense of family mission. Scattered around the world, countless buildings, institutions and works of art continue to bear witness to their overwhelming impact.The Habsburgs is the definitive history of a remarkable dynasty that, for better or worse, shaped Europe and the world.
