Two books that should have been on this list: David Sorenson's edition of The French Revolution, published by Oxford Uni. Press, and The Essential Thomas Carlyle, published by Anarch Books.
I found "On heroes" translated into Serbian. I was a fool to buy it without opening it. Page brake and margins are abysmal. Margins are huge on outer sides, while text go all the way to spine of the book forcing reader to open it up as much as it is possible. I still haven't got around to reading it but I already know that it will fall apart after a first reading.
God damn do I hate sloppy work of that kind. It reminded me of Serbian translation of "On liberty" where every page had at least one typo. It was first time I wrote to publisher calling them out.
One of many reasons why I prefer reading books in English - usually better made and no sloppy translations.
I am so happy and pleased to learn more about this GREAT man ! He in fact was highly recommendend by famous Egon Friedell in his epic work "cultural history of modern times" !! So thanks a l o t !
"The newer German literature captured him completely at that time, and no one did more than Carlyle to convey its knowledge to the English. In the space of a few years, he published a translation of Goethe's Wilhelm Meister: William Meister's Apprenticeship (Edinb. 1825, 3 vols.), a biography of Schiller: Life of Schiller, an Examination of His Works (London 1825), and a selection of translations from Goethe, Fouqué, Tieck, Musäus, Jean Paul, Hoffmann, et al. et al. with critical and biographical introductions under the title German Romance (Edinb. 1827, 4 vols.) as well as a large number of smaller essays, e.g. on Werner, Novalis, Goethe's correspondence with Schiller, Heine, the Nibelungenlied, etc., which are later united with others in the collection of his essays (5 vols.). "
I only can say WOW. I am speechless. Have to dive d e e p into his works . . .
This was a great overview!
7:22 Face reveal. AA looks nothing like I expected.
Is there some cabalistic explanation for pronouncing "Sartor Resartus" as "Sartor Restorus"?
"Sartor" is the Carlyle creative Big Bang, to be read before all other writings -- with unalloyed pleasure because it is not suffused with vileness like so much of his later work.
AA...do you have spreadsheet with every book you own with all details including how much you have paid for it?
BUY FOUNDATIONS OF WRITING!
Yes sir.
Project Gutenberg has all of them I believe.
Did Carlyle ever address the Jewish Question?
No, Woody Allen came much later.
I just figured out the reason I don’t like the concept of race. It’s materialistic. Certainly the differences between humans are more than skin deep. But they are also only what you might call, “flesh deep” in that they are physical, and not spiritual.
There is at least one “reactionary” reason to be racially tolerant. A good soul is a good soul, no matter what vessel contains it.
Yes, but part of the discussion is much more nuanced then simply leaving it at that. The heirarchy of the world demands kind to live with kind, that is the natural order. we, of course, are more than our flesh, but the flesh is still part of the world given to us that follows the logos
@@aureliushaze1714 if the world has a hierarchy, it will emerge naturally, and trying to legislate such a thing can only corrupt it. And again, if kind must live with kind, what kind are we referring to? Spirit? Or flesh? I’d say, the emphasis should be put on spirit. A man can, how ever rarely, feel out of place in the land of his birth. We should not pretend that these people are normal, but they should be allowed to emigrate, and find a place where they fit in. To use AA’s famous “John smith” maybe only one in a thousand John Smith Juniors would be better off as a scholar, or an actor. But the “system” should have a light enough touch that those one in a thousand can become what they ought to become.
What makes you think that race doesn't also extend to the soul? Racial differences exist on a metaphysical level, as well as a physical. I agree with Evola that there is certainly a "black" soul, a "White" soul, a "jewish" soul, etc.
@@mustfaaboassd but I don’t like modernity though. I thought none of us do? Isn’t that what makes us reactionary? We have more in common, on the spiritual level, with simple cow nomads in Africa, or hunter gatherers in the Amazon, or the Amish farmers of the mid western USA, than with the “civilized” men of our home countries.
@@juliusflavius3573 That's the point surely, a mans soul need not match the melanin. you have to appeal to the corrupt or virtuous soul to make race mean something beyond the purely material, when you could just simply refer to the soul.
His descriptions of Arabia and Muhammad are laughable AA
@@Dan_1348 Honesty in an honour culture? He sounds completely clueless about the topic. Maybe that was a common misconception of his time, but it still sounds silly to me today.
