Copertina de Thomas Carlyle: Past and Present (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

With England in the grip of a serious economic downturn, Carlyle in Past and Present (1843) looked to the supposed virtues of the past in order to illustrate how unfettered capitalism had brought the country to the brink of ruin, hoping in this way to spark a moral no less than economic resurgence.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) was a Scottish Romantic writer and historian noted for his sweeping prose and fierce satirical sensibility. He is best known for his monumental history of the French Revolution, as gripping as any novel, and his experimental novel Sartor Resartus, which in its combination of fiction and fact proved well ahead of its time.
