Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When you hear of a devastating earthquake thousands of miles away, you might reach into your pockets to make a donation. That's the fault of an itinerant Jewish preacher from Palestine, an obscure backwater of the Roman Empire, otherwise known as Jesus Christ.Kindness to strangers is not hardwired in our DNA. Nor was it esteemed by the great canon of ancient Western philosophy - the Greeks and Romans prioritised generosity to your friends and family. When Jesus told his followers to give up everything they owned to the poor, he heralded a moral revolution. The needy, the sick, the outcast were to be cared for - even if they were unknown to you. This was a tough pill to swallow for early Christians, and to this day, many insist Jesus didn't really mean it. Nonetheless Jesus' most radical commandment transformed the moral conscience of the West: its legacy lives on in public hospitals, the billions given in charity each year and even government welfare.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Empire. Plunder. Resistance. The forgotten history of Britain and the Asante gold.'A compelling, challenging and important book.'William Boyd1874. Kumasi, the Asante capital, burns. British soldiers prowl the palace, looting as much gold as they can find, before razing it to the ground. In Britain the soldiers are feted as heroes. In 1896 they return, looting the palace a second time and carrying off more gold to London in triumph.Royalty, aristocracy and London's most illustrious museums divide the spoils. 'It is scarcely possible to do justice to the variety and beauty of these specimens,' The Times declares. There are golden masks, swooping eagles and an exquisitely wrought ram's head. One mpomponsou - a ceremonial sword - comes wrapped in a leopard skin sheath.Tracing the course of Britain's wars with the Asante alongside the course of its plundered relics, Barnaby Phillips weaves a thrilling and poignant tale of imperial ambition and African resistance. Travelling from the Gold Coast to the museum galleries, officers' mess rooms and aristocratic homes of Britain, The African Kingdom of Gold confronts us with urgent questions about the legacy of Empire and, in particular, how our museums should respond.…
