In the countryside of western France, one of the most backward parts of the country, rebellion broke out in March, 1793...This was the rebellion of the Vendée, and its gory story has often been told. Professor Tilly does not attempt a new description: he gives us, rather, a socio-economic analysis of the circumstances leading up to the rebellion, placing political developments in novel and suggestive sociological perspective...Professor Tilly provides not diverting relaxation but intellectual pleasure. His is an important book. Clarity, sense of humor and the avoidance of any kind of jargon make it also singularly readable... v angličtine, brožovaná, 373 strán

The Elephant - Lore of The Hindus

Spisovatel: Edgerton F., Motilal Banarsidass 1985
Katalogové číslo: F4564

This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the elephant-lore of Hindus. It consists primarily of a translation of the "Elephant-Sport" (Matanga-Lila) of Nilakantha, with notes, introduction, and glossary. The Matanga-Lila is without doubt the best available Sanskrit work on elephantology. It is a brief and succinct treatise in 263 stanzas, divided into twelve chapters of uneven length. Nothing is known of the Nilakantha who is mentioned as its author. According to the editor, Ganapati Sastri, the three manuscripts he used are about two hundred years old. But the work is probably very much older. For aught we know it may go back a thousand years or even to a much earlier date. This, however, is purely conjectural; all we can say is that there is no positive trace of modernity in the work. The elephant-lore of our text is based on a genuine traditional knowledge which grew up among those whose business it was to deal with elephants, and that this tradition has persisted to modern times.... v angličine, tvrdá väzba, 129 strán,menší formát
