Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: g to vg. First American edition. Quarto (9 1/4 x 6 1/4"). CIII, [15], 519, [1]pp. Original photo-illustrated dust-jacket over light brown cloth, with red lettering to spine. "In his 1840 lectures on heroes, Thomas Carlyle, Victorian essayist and social critic, championed the importance of the individual in history. Published the following year and eventually translated into fifteen languages, this imaginative work of history, comparative religion, and literature is the most influential statement of a man who came to be thought of as a secular prophet and the "undoubted head of English letters" (Emerson). His vivid portraits of Muhammad, Dante, Luther, Napoleon-just a few of the individuals Carlyle celebrated for changing the course of world history-made On Heroes a challenge to the anonymous social forces threatening to control life during the Industrial Revolution." (From the Publishers). Upper margin of dust-jacket slightly creased. Fore-edge of pages slightly foxed. DJ in overall good to good+, binding and interior in good+ to very good condition.
