À propos de ce produit

Product Information

The Decline of the West is one of the most widely read and debated books of modern times. Spengler's challenging views have led to harsh criticism over the years, but the knowledge and eloquence that went into his sweeping study of Western culture cannot be ignored. This abridgment, prepared by Helmut Werner with the blessing of the Spengler estate, consists of selections from the original (translated into English by Charles Francis Atkinson) linked by explanatory passages by Arthur Helps. H. Stuart Hughes has written a new introduction for this edition.

Reviews
"This is a splendid edition. The introductory material is pointed and intriguing. The editing is superb. This volume is the best, and realistically, the only way to introduce Spengler to undergraduates."--Daniel P. Murphy, Hanover College, "Apocalyptic in tone, it is a massive, somber interpretation of the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations, much in the spirit and tradition of historical analysis displayed by another twentieth-century prophet, Arnold J. Toynbee....The contemporary reader will find much that is stimulatingin Spengler's criticism of our age."--San Francisco Chronicle, "An abridged edition of Spengler's classic is long overdue. it is one ofthe great masterpieces of German historical prose, and the translation conveysthe beauty and eloquence of the original language. its importance to today'sstudent should be immediately grasped by anyone who appreciates the problem ofdecline and its relevance for contemporary American (and Western)society."--William Falcetano, Merrimack College, "There is nothing in our contemporary literature quite like the xperience of reading Oswald Spengler's classic The Decline of the West....There is no matching his throwaway erudition, the sheer poetry of his symbols and images and the vaulting majesty of his thought....Especially welcome forthe brief but brilliantly incisive preface by America's best Spengler scholar, H. Stuart Hughes."--The Washington Times, "What [Spengler] wrote was an epic poem....The lesson to be learned from him is that writers too can be seismographs; the trembling of Spengler's themes signaled the coming of the Nazi earthquake."--New Statesman, "Often damned but still cited (the very title can turn a whole evening into a disputation), it is still a provocative and often dazzling book....An exciting excursion through history."--Time, "Apocalyptic in tone, it is a massive, somber interpretation of thecyclical rise and fall of civilizations, much in the spirit and tradition ofhistorical analysis displayed by another twentieth-century prophet, Arnold J.Toynbee....The contemporary reader will find much that is stimulating inSpengler's criticism of our age."--San Francisco Chronicle, "What [Spengler] wrote was an epic poem....The lesson to be learned fromhim is that writers too can be seismographs; the trembling of Spengler's themessignaled the coming of the Nazi earthquake."--New Statesman, "An abridged edition of Spengler's classic is long overdue. it is one of the great masterpieces of German historical prose, and the translation conveys the beauty and eloquence of the original language. its importance to today's student should be immediately grasped by anyone who appreciatesthe problem of decline and its relevance for contemporary American (and Western) society."--William Falcetano, Merrimack College
