'A witty, gossipy, sparkling history, full of bright jewels of anecdote... Magnificent Rebels is a triumph' THE TIMES, Book of the Week 'Extraordinary... A thrilling intellectual history that reads like a racy, intelligent novel, with a cast of unforgettable characters' SUNDAY TIMES 'Magnificent Rebels is a magnificent book: a revelation which could easily become an obsession' SPECTATOR 'A thrilling page-turner, by turns comical & tragic... My book of the year so far' TOM HOLLAND 'Elegantly written, deeply researched and totally gripping' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE In the 1790s an extraordinary group of friends changed the world. Disappointed by the French Revolution's rapid collapse into tyranny, what they wanted was nothing less than a revolution of the mind. The rulers of Europe had ordered their peoples how to think and act for too long. Based in the small German town of Jena, through poetry, drama, philosophy and science, they transformed the way we think about ourselves and the world around us. They were the first Romantics. Their way of understanding the world still frames our lives and being.We're still empowered by their daring leap into the self. We still think with their minds, see with their imagination and feel with their emotions. We also still walk the same tightrope between meaningful self-fulfilment and destructive narcissism, between the rights of the individual and our role as a member of our community and our responsibilities towards future generations who will inhabit this planet. This extraordinary group of friends changed our world. It is impossible to imagine our lives, thoughts and understanding without the foundation of their ground-breaking ideas.

  1. Så där.....
    Börje Widerberg, 30 september 2024

    Lite väl mycket panegyrik. Jag hade nog inte satt den som årets bok vilket en del tycks ha gjort. Läsvärd men inte så mycket mer.

  2. Europeernas värld omkring år 1800
    Louisesomreser, 27 februari 2024

    Ett nytt mästerverk av Andrea Wulf! Kompletterar The Invention of Nature (Alexander von Humboldt) och världen omkring år 1800. Och hennes tidigare bok Chasing Venus.

  3. Fantastiskt bok.
    Jonas , 8 december 2023

    Makalöst intressant. Alla borde läsa den. Romantiken föddes i Jena i slutet av 1700 talet och har satt sin prägel ända fram till vår tid. Det holistiska tänkandet och förståelsen att vi alla är en del av naturen är något vi verkligen kan lära oss så mycket av. Läs den!
