Evolutionary Socialism was Bernstein's most significant work, and it set the stage for the Democratic Socialism of today. In Evolutionary Socialism, Bernstein was principally concerned with refuting Karl Marx's predictions about the imminent and inevitable demise of capitalism. Bernstein warned that a violent proletarian revolution, as in France in 1848, produced only reactionary successes, which undermined workers' interests. Therefore, he rejected revolution and instead insisted the best strategy to be patiently building up a durable social movement working for continuous nonviolent incremental change.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The private letters of a statesman are always inviting material for historians and when he has claim to literary fame as well the correspondence assumes a double significance. Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) belonged to an age that gave pride of place to the written word as an instrument of both business and pleasure. This volume includes 363 letters (many previously unpublished) from his school boy days to his establishment in the Tory camp under the patronage of Lord Lyndhurst. Most prominent are Disraeli's letters to his sister, Sarah, with whom he corresponded frequently over several decades. To her he confided his hopes, interspersed with his observations and descriptions of social, literary and political events. The letters to Sarah supply a skeleton around which Disraeli's young manhood can be reconstructed and shed valuable light on the remaining documents in the volume. The correspondence also includes accounts of his tour of the Low Countries and the Rhine in 1824, his adventurous trip to Spain, Greece, the Near East and Egypt in 1830, his tense negotiations with publishers and his campaign to shine as a member of aristocratic society and win political patronage. The letters demonstrate the fine eye for detail and the capacity for self-dramatization and literary conceits which mark his novels. With their annotations they also provide a remarkably detailed account of life in the upper reaches of English society as viewed from below, and of Disraeli's ambitions to enter that life.

At The Beginning Of The Civil War, The Confederate Navy Was A Very Small Collection Of Nearly Anything That Would Float, Mostly Small, Unmilitary Vessels And A Few Captured Union Ships; There Was Not One Real Warship In The Fleet. The North Had Men-Of-War And A Large Fleet Of Merchant Ships That Could Be Armed Quickly. As A Result, The North Was Soon Able To Blockade The Southern Coast And Capture Port After Port. But The South Fought Back Ingeniously, Sending Agents To England And France To Have The Finest Warships Built, Innovating Such Modern Weapons As The Torpedo, The Submarine, And The Armored Warship, All Of Which Changed The Nature Of Naval Warfare.

Oswald Spengler zeichnet in Jahre der Entscheidung ein schonungslos kritisches Bild der modernen westlichen Zivilisation. Das Abendland sei dem Verfall anheimgegeben und auf dem Weg in den Tod, vergiftet von übertriebenem Rationalismus, Mangel an funktionierenden Hierarchien und allgemein verbreiteter Entwurzelung. Spenglers Beobachtungen stammen aus dem Deutschland der Zwischenkriegszeit, einer Periode die von politischer Unruhe und wirtschaftlichem Chaos geprägt ist. Es war Spengler klar dass die Welt nach der internationalen Kraftprobe, die im Anzug war, kaum wiederzuerkennen sein würde. Er betrachtete unsere Zeit als die schicksalsträchtigste und ernsteste der menschlichen Geschichte - eine Phase in der die Bestimmung von Völkern und Nationen entschieden werden würde. Die Betrachtungen Spenglers in Jahre der Entscheidung sind weder auf Deutschland noch auf die Periode zwischen den Weltkriegen beschränkt. Er beschreibt globale Geschehnisse, die sich vom zwanzigsten Jahrhundert ein gutes Stück hinein ins einundzwanzigste erstrecken. Spengler nennt unsere Epoche Zeitalter der Weltkriege und meint, dass dieses Zeitalter mindestens bis ins erste Jahrhundert des zweiten Millenniums andauern würde. Jahre der Entscheidung wurde rasch ein Verkaufserfolg, als das Buch 1933 in Deutschland erschien. Einige Zeit später wurde es jedoch verboten, weil Spengler die nationalsozialistische Politik in verschiedener Hinsicht kritisierte; unter anderem teilte er keinesfalls deren rassenbiologische Ausgangslage. Die vorliegende Neuausgabe ist ein Faksimile der Originalauflage. Oswald Spengler (1880-1936), deutscher Historiker und Philosoph, ist vor allem für seine Theorie bekannt, wonach Zivilisationen sich nicht linear, sondern zyklisch entwickeln: sie werden geboren, blühen auf und sterben auf eine Weise, die an lebendige Wesen erinnert. Er entfaltete diese These in seinem Hauptwerk Der Untergang des Abendlandes, das in zwei Bänden 1918 beziehungsweise 1922 erschien.
