Modern Germany and Its Historians
About This Novel
Introduction to "Modern Germany and Its Historians": The 19th century was a century of history, and it was also a century in which various political trends of thought and political movements emerged in endlessly. Both Ranke, who is as calm as water, and Treitschke, who is as passionate as fire, are paying attention to the core political theme of their times - the national unification movement. Antoine Kiyan's works not only vividly depict the academic research, personality characteristics and expression style of the most outstanding German historians of that era, but also show us their passion, ambition and aspiration for real political life and public life. They conceptually reshaped the German national consciousness with their own historical research, turning Kant's "Old Germany" into Bismarck's "New Germany." However, what is the cost of this process? Antoine Quillon warned people with his uneasy prediction: What moral responsibility do historians bear when paying attention to reality and using history? Can and how can historical research achieve harmony between nationalism and cosmopolitanism, between realism and idealism?
