Summary:
In 1664, England decided to invade the Dutch-controlled city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, had dreams of empire, and their archrivals, the Dutch, were in the way. But Richard Nicolls, the military officer who led the English flotilla bent on destruction, changed his strategy once he encountered Peter Stuyvesant, New Netherland’s canny director general. Bristling with vibrant characters, "Taking Manhattan" reveals the founding of New York to be an invention, the result of creative negotiations that would blend the multiethnic, capitalistic society of New Amsterdam with the power of the rising English empire. But the birth of what might be termed the first modern city is also a story of the brutal dispossession of Native Americans and of the roots of American slavery. The book draws from newly translated materials and illuminates neglected histories—of religious refugees, Indigenous tribes, and free and enslaved Africans. "Taking Manhattan" tells the riveting story of the birth of New York City as a center of capitalism and pluralism, a foundation from which America would rise.

Summary:
La civilisation romaine . Rome. C'est une ville, un empire, une civilisation. Mais une ville où les habitants aspirent à la ruralité, un empire créé par la République, une civilisation dont la domination repose sur la participation des vaincus. Rome est le nom de cette création continue de contradictions qui, douze siècles durant, sans révérer ni renier le passé, s'est nourrie des crises qui l'ont agitée et où l'homme a trouvé les moyens de vivre sa liberté. Rome a fait une ville de ce qui jusque-là était le monde et rien du monde qui nous entoure aujourd'hui n'eût été ce qu'il est si Rome n'avait existé. Ensemble complexe de coutumes, de techniques, de règles sociales formulées et informulées, de goûts, de styles de vie, et de manières de s'insérer dans le monde, les problèmes romains ne sont jamais très loin de ceux de notre temps. Dans cet ouvrage de référence, Pierre Grimai nous invite à redécouvrir l'émergence et la chute d'une culture sans précédent que nous ne saurions oublier sans mutiler une part de nous-mêmes.
