World of Trouble: A Philadelphia Quaker Family's Journey through the American Revolution: The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 981min
An intimate account of the American Revolution as seen through the eyes of a Quaker pacifist couple living in Philadelphia.Historian Richard Godbeer presents a richly layered and intimate account of the American Revolution as experienced by a Philadelphia Quaker couple, Elizabeth Drinker and the merchant Henry Drinker, who barely survived the unique perils that Quakers faced during that conflict. Spanning a half-century before, during, and after the war, this gripping narrative illuminates the Revolution’s darker side as patriots vilified, threatened, and in some cases killed pacifist Quakers as alleged enemies of the revolutionary cause. Amid chaos and danger, the Drinkers tried as best they could to keep their family and faith intact.Through one couple’s story, Godbeer opens a window on a uniquely turbulent period of American history, uncovers the domestic, social, and religious lives of Quakers in the late eighteenth century, and situates their experience in the context of transatlantic culture and trade. A master storyteller takes his listeners on a moving journey they will never forget.The book is published by Yale University Press.

Language as Hope
Ludwig Lejzer Zamenhof (1859-1917) was not the only one promoting the idea of a constructed language in his time. Numerous efforts - drawing inspiration from different sources - have shown a strong desire during the late 19th and early 20th century to create a mode of communication carried by universal humanitarianism. Esperanto, however, is unique in its influence. The articles collected in this volume debate the question of the extent to which this unique potential can be attributed to Jewish, cosmopolitan and pacifist traditions of thought. All contributions have resulted from the lectures of the international workshop "The heritage and legacy of Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof between Judaism and Esperanto", that took place in the Museum Polin - Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw.- Shop: buecher
