This series will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason.Īs for the book itself, the language inconsistencies with historic accuracy bothers me. plenty has happened in my millennial life that I've written and recorded because of these books, so I have literally recorded history.

I also get totally mad when someone pushes me at recess, just like Mem.Īs an adult, these books are the reason I became a journalist. I'm learning about history from the eyes of someone like me.

He deftly shifts our perspective not only on the Eastern Front but on the war as a whole by emphasizing commonalities (among empires, operations, home fronts) while appropriately highlighting the many unique challenges faced by the tsarist state. David Stone does more than updated the earlier Stone's work, though. While literature in English has been sparse, the Russian-language literature on the Eastern Front has grown tremendously in recent decades, and so an update was desperately needed. The last work to treat this comprehensively was Norman Stone's (no relation), The Eastern Front, 1914-1917, published in 1975. 1 See Norman Stone, The Eastern Front, 1914-1917 (New York: Scribners, 1975) and Die Mobilmachung der osterreichisch-ungarischen Armee 1914, Militarge.

Pepys is holding a piece of music that he had composed. Samuel Pepys, painted by John Hayls in 1666 (National Portrait Gallery, London). And as an important figure in the administration of the Royal Navy, he became a participant as well in the machinery of the state. ![]() Pepys began writing his diary just weeks before the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, and he was even on the ship that was sent to bring Charles II back to England. He was an eyewitness to Charles’s coronation, to the Great Fire of London in 1666, to a terrible occurrence of the plague, and to the wars that England fought with the Dutch in that decade, wars that turned out to be crucially important to establishing England as the dominant naval power in the north Atlantic. In part this is because Pepys was writing at a fascinating moment, and, living in London and working for the government, he was in a good position to see important historical events take place in real time. The diary that Samuel Pepys (pronounced “peeps,” 1633-1703) kept from 1660 to 1669 is the most famous diary written in the English language. ![]() ![]() ) even dons conquistador gear, making the narrative surprisingly fun and funny, even as he spends a lot of time describing just how badly Columbus and subsequently the Spanish treated people.

Three hundred years later, people push and shove to see it in summer tourist season, wearing T-shirts that say, “America’s Hometown.” Which eventually leads an overstimulated (historically speaking) Horwitz to come close to starting a fight in a Plymouth bar. In about 1741, a church elder in Plymouth, winging it, pointed out a boulder that is now more like a not-at-all-precious stone. The Pilgrims-who, Horwitz notes, were on a mission that was based less on freedom and the schoolbook history ideas the president of the United States typically mentions when he pardons a turkey at the White House and more on finding a cure for syphilis-may or may not have noticed it. ![]() As opposed to the Pilgrims, Tony Horwitz begins his journey at Plymouth Rock. ![]() ![]() ![]() Daniel is tying up ends at his Aunt's home in Ottawa, when one afternoon on his dog walk, he comes across Maddy and her friend, beyond sure of a shadow of a doubt it's his long lost granddaughter Hannah which he then becomes obsessed with getting her back.

Never made publick before” and credited the book to HF, understood to be his uncle Henry Foe. Written by a CITIZEN who continued all the while in London. Defoe claimed that the book was a genuine contemporary account – its title page states that the book consists of: “Observations or Memorials of the most remarkable occurrences, as well public as private, which happened in London during the last great visitation in 1665. When the plague was ravaging London, Defoe was around five years old. It was published in 1722, more than 50 years after the events it describes.
