Buchbeschreibung Softcover. Zustand: New. In a riveting, groundbreaking narrative, Russell Shorto tells the story of New Netherland, the Dutch colony which pre-dated the Pilgrims and established ideals of tolerance and individual rights that shaped American history."Astonishing . . . A book that will permanently alter the way we regard our collective past." --The New York TimesWhen the British wrested New Amsterdam from the Dutch in 1664, the truth about its thriving, polyglot society began to disappear into myths about an island purchased for 24 dollars and a cartoonish peg-legged governor. But the story of the Dutch colony of New Netherland was merely lost, not destroyed: 12,000 pages of its records-recently declared a national treasure-are now being translated. Russell Shorto draws on this remarkable archive in The Island at the Center of the World, which has been hailed by The New York Times as a book that will permanently alter the way we regard our collective past.The Dutch colony pre-dated the original thirteen colonies, yet it seems strikingly familiar. Its capital was cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic, and its citizens valued free trade, individual rights, and religious freedom. Their champion was a progressive, young lawyer named Adriaen van der Donck, who emerges in these pages as a forgotten American patriot and whose political vision brought him into conflict with Peter Stuyvesant, the autocratic director of the Dutch colony. The struggle between these two strong-willed men laid the foundation for New York City and helped shape American culture. The Island at the Center of the World uncovers a lost world and offers a surprising new perspective on our own. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers DADAX1400078679

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: New. Far more than an addendum to familiar American history, this book provides a whole new picture - a thrown-open window onto the intra-European struggles for dominance in the New World. Relying heavily on Dutch records, the book produces a history of the extent to which the primordial colonial wilderness island was fought over by the Dutch and English as a prize to be had among the global powers. Here is Manhattan stripped of asphalt and the wolves' prints fresh on the page. Addenda. Illus. 416p. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2340951
