Paul Boyer Knihy

    11. březen 1864 – 1. říjen 1949

    Paul S. Boyer se jako americký kulturní a intelektuální historik zaměřuje na hlubší pochopení americké společnosti. Jeho práce zkoumá, jak se ideály, víry a kulturní hnutí formovaly a jak ovlivňovaly společenský vývoj. Boyerův přístup se vyznačuje pečlivým zkoumáním historických pramenů a snahou odhalit základní motivace a myšlenkové pochody, které stály za klíčovými momenty americké historie. Čtenářům nabízí pronikavý pohled na komplexní vztah mezi kulturou a intelektuálním životem v Americe.

      The stark immediacy of what happened in 1692 has obscured the complex web of human passion which had been growing for more than a generation before building toward the climactic witch trials. Salem Possessed explores the lives of the men and women who helped spin that web and who in the end found themselves entangled in it.
