![]() I don’t think any serious reader would fault the book as a dry historical textbook since the author writes in a journalistic fashion with an upbeat tempo. It is a fascinating thesis but in the end I felt the author wasn’t as concern about arguing his case as rigorously as possible as he was more excited to give us his biographical sketches of various individuals from the Renaissance and the Reformation. This particular work focused on the Protestant Reformation and the Italian Renaissance in which the author tries to argue that the Reformation and Renaissance has made its contribution towards the modern concept of self. The series is focused on different groups of people and historical period which have made their contributions felt today. This is the sixth installment of a series on history books called Hinges of History by Thomas Cahill, a former editor of religious literature for Double Day.

The book just doesn’t add up with all of the other knowledge I have accumulated on my travels and research, which leaves me to conclude it is nothing but a simplistic story for political popularism. Furthermore on my travels through India, I saw that the same problems still exist in India, as control has simply passed from the British to a high caste elite, who live in wealthy cantonments whilst life for many hasn’t changed a great deal. ![]() This narrative is simply contrary to the accounts of the vast majority of other works on the subject and isn’t helped by a particularly spiteful tone, spoken from a moral high ground which the author clearly has not earnt with his many controversies and elitism in Indian public life. However, I was put off the book by the simplistic glorification of India pre and post British rule and that most of the book refers to favorable works, supporting the ideas of the author, which are also the narrative pushed by the Congress Party for whom he is an MP. There is no doubt that the vast majority of the inhumane and cruel actions mentioned in this book did indeed occur and should be condemned by all. I listened to this book whilst traveling in India and fully expected to sympathize with the overall consensus of a cruel imperial rule of India.
