8vo, 216pp. Sergei Feodorovich Platonov's Time of Troubles is a classic study of the years 1598-1613, a turbulent and decisive period in Russian history. This English translation is a valuable tool for students of the medieval as well as modern periods. Platonov, himself a tragic victim of the regimentation imposed on Soviet cultural life in the 1920s, was born in 1860 and attained immense public and professional recognition in Russia as a leading historian. In his work he synthesized, to a high degree, two major traditions of Russian historiography: the St. Petersburg school, which emphasized the collection and rigorous use of primary sources, and the Moscoe school with its socio-economic and geo-political approaches. Time of Troubles represents the finished product of a lifetime spent in research, writing and teaching. In broad terms it treats nearly a century and a half of Russian history (1500-1648); in detail it scrutinizes developments in the Muscovite State from 1598 to 1613. Some of the major issues covered in this volume are: the growing consolidation of Muscovite absolutism and the formation of a national state; the expansion of Muscovy to the west and southeast; the demise of the boyer class and the rise of the service gentry; the emergence of serfdom as the social basis of Muscovite society; the cataclysmic end of one dynasty, the House of Rurik, and the beginnings of another, the House of Romanov. For Platonov--who devoted most of his career as a scholar to the study of these dramatic years--the epoch marked nothing less than the great divide between medieval Muscovy and modern Russia, witnessing the downfall of an essentially patrimonial regime and its replacement, after fierce struggles, by a more modern state founded on a new constellation of social groups.

1957pp. x, 244. 8vo. Original full cloth backed binding. Original dust jacket. "This is the 'Handbook of Patriotism' that is the publishing sensation of the year in France, where it has been passionately acclaimed and furiously denounced. A comparison between the France of 1914, which had the spunk and imagination to taxi its reinforcements of the Marne battlefields to save the country's life, and the France of June 1940 when 'the Generals were stupid, the soldiers did not want to die' and France was lost. The Taxis of the Marne is also the dramatic personal story of one of the most brilliant and interesting men in France today. Jean Dutourd was twenty years old when he went to war in 1940. He twice escaped from the Germans. He fought with the Resistance. An author, columnist, broadcaster, and editor, it is in this book, which seeks to discover why patriotism died for an entire generation, that M. Dutourd has evoked the deepest response - by giving voice to the angers and the aspirations of a people and an era." WWII 1
