Toland John Livres
John Toland était un philosophe rationaliste et libre penseur qui a remis en question les doctrines religieuses établies, prônant la raison comme fondement des Lumières. Ses œuvres, souvent rédigées avec une prudence avisée, interrogeaient le surnaturel et exploraient les origines des croyances religieuses. Considéré par certains comme le premier libre penseur professionnel, les écrits de Toland ont contribué de manière significative au développement précoce de la pensée des Lumières.
WWII, the Holocaust, 50 million deaths, famine & suffering unimaginable. Who could have dreamed such a Wagnerian scene in the mid-20th century? Only one Adolf Hitler. How he brought it off, how he staged the takeover of a great nation, all its resources, largely with the consent & approbation of its people, in their full knowledge of what he stood for & intended to do--this is what fascinates, & this is the theme of John W. Toland's powerful, definitive biography."Masterful...compelling...remarkably documented...a landmark."--John Barkham Reviews
“[ The Rising Sun ] is quite possibly the most readable, yet informative account of the Pacific war.”— Chicago Sun-TimesThis Pulitzer Prize–winning history of World War II chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of the Japanese empire, from the invasion of Manchuria and China to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Told from the Japanese perspective, The Rising Sun is, in the author’s words, “a factual saga of people caught up in the flood of the most overwhelming war of mankind, told as it happened—muddled, ennobling, disgraceful, frustrating, full of paradox.”In weaving together the historical facts and human drama leading up to and culminating in the war in the Pacific, Toland crafts a riveting and unbiased narrative history. In his Foreword, Toland says that if we are to draw any conclusion from The Rising Sun , it is “that there are no simple lessons in history, that it is human nature that repeats itself, not history.”“Unbelievably rich . . . readable and exciting . . .The best parts of [Toland’s] book are not the battle scenes but the intimate view he gives of the highest reaches of Tokyo politics.”— Newsweek
