Krátky popis
'If there were a Nobel Prize in History, Colley would be my
nominee' Jill Lepore, New Yorker'One of the most exciting
historians of her generation, but also one of the most interesting
writers of non-fiction around' - William Dalrymple, Guardian'Colley
takes you on intellectual journeys you wouldn't think to take on
your own, and when you arrive you wonder that you never did it
before' - David Aaronovitch, the Times'A global history of
remarkable depth, imagination and insight' Tony Barber, Financial
Times Summer BooksStarting not with the United States, but with the
Corsican constitution of 1755, The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen moves
through every continent, disrupting accepted narratives. Both
monarchs and radicals play a role, from Catherine the Great of
Russia, with her remarkable Nakaz, to Sierra Leone's James
Africanus Horton, to Tunisia's Khayr-al-Din, a creator of the first
modern Islamic constitution. Throughout, Colley demonstrates how
constitutions evolved in tandem with warfare, and how they have
functioned to advance empire as well as promote nations, and worked
to exclude as well as liberate.Whether reinterpreting Japan's
momentous 1889 constitution, or exploring the significance of the
first constitution to enfranchise all adult women on Pitcairn
Island in the Pacific in 1838, this is one of the most original
global histories in decades.
