cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
Western Civilisation was in its pomp when Jacob Burckhardt
delivered his Judgements on History and Historians; European
Empires spanned the globe, while the modern age was being forged in
the nationalist revolutions of 1848. As a tutor to the young
Friedrich Nietzsche as well as one of the first historians to take
'culture' as his subject rather than the triumphs and travails of
kings and generals, Burckhardt was at the vanguard of this modern
sensibility. Ambitious in its scope, ranging from the days of
Ancient Egypt, through the Reformation to the time of Napoleon,
this is indeed a history of 'Western Civilization', written before
two monstrous world wars threw such a concept into disrepute.
