أخي أوسكار:

تحياتي،

منذ أن حدثتني عن الكتاب و هو يشغل بالي. الكتاب وجدت له وصلة هنا: http://arabia.e-kotob.com/Arabia/books/boo...sp?book_id=1077 لكنه غير متوفر للأٍسف. كنت أظن أني سأجده يباع في صورة ملف ebook وأشتريه ثم نتبادل ما لدينا. لكن للأسف غير متوفر بهذه الصورة حتى أشتريه. ذهبت للموسوعة البريطانية فوجدت الآتي عن رجل من فطاحل جامعة السوربون و ياله من شيء يبهر العقل!

Paul Hazard

born Aug. 30, 1878, Nordpeene, Fr.
died April 13, 1944, Paris


((in full Paul-gustave-marie-camilleHazard ))

French educator,historian of ideas, and scholar of comparative literature.

Hazard studied at the École Normale Supérieure (“Superior Normal School”) in Paris and took a doctorate at the Sorbonne in 1910. He taught comparative literature at the University of Lyon until 1919, when he moved tothe Sorbonne. In 1925 he went to the Collège deFrance in Paris.

Hazard's major work on intellectual history was La Crise de la conscience européenne, 1680–1715, 3 vol. (1935; “The Crisis of the European Conscience, 1680–1715”; Eng. trans. The European Mind, 1680–1715). It examines the conflict between 17th-century Neoclassicism and its ideals of order and perfection and ideas of the Enlightenment. He also wrote on Italian history and literature. He was the first to point out, in Les Livres, les enfants et les hommes (1937; Books, Children and Men), that northern Europe surpassed the south in literature for children. He often lectured at Columbia University and other American schools in the 1920s and '30s.
