2018br. Cosa si intende quando si parla di "spirito prussiano"? Non certo un appiattimento sui valori "da caserma" o una esaltazione della brutalità primitiva: con questa antologia, frutto di un lavoro di ricerca sugli autori principali della storia e della letteratura tedesche, viene ricostruita l'immagine ideale di una società armoniosa e gerarchica. Con un contributo di Giovanni Sessa.
2021ill., br. Impadronirsi della Slesia, smembrare la Polonia, farsi rivale dell'Austria, umiliare la Francia, tutti questi atti furono senza dubbio imprese che nessun capo prussiano aveva, prima di Federico, osato tentare. Ma è anche indubbio che Federico aveva ricevuto in eredità la propria potenza dagli Hohenzollern e dalle loro politiche degli ultimi tre secoli, per questo ad essi si ispirò per farne il miglior uso e ad essi dedicò le sue conquiste. William Reddaway ripercorre la storia secolare degli Hohenzollern per meglio collocare la figura di Federico e comprendere l'influenza e la portata del suo governo. Una storia fatta di vittorie, prestigio e un incredibile successo della sua opera di espansione che contribuì in maniera determinante all'ascesa della potenza prussiana.
