Reviews

[Marcos Zamith · Rating 3 out of 5]

A autora apresenta uma visão bem geral da história da Inglaterra.
A leitura não é indicada para quem desconhece a história da Inglaterra, senão como material auxiliar.
O ponto de vista é progressista-liberal e também pró-bárbaros pagãos em oposição ao cristão.

Bir yerlere bu kitabın 20. yüzyıl başında yazıldığının yazılması gerek. Aksi takdirde okuyucu aklının almayacağı düzeyde elitizm, faşizm ve kolonyalizm onaylayıcılığı bekliyor. Evlerden uzak, ama komik.
