Witness the story of a Hungarian Knight, Abafi, as he transforms from an evil man, who does selfish acts of his every whim, to a kind and noble man, who does more for others than he does for himself. Watch him make hard life decisions and search for his one true love. Experience the story that had a great effect on Nikola Tesla's life, so stated by him in his autobiography, My Inventions. In this translated text, he states, after reading this book, that: "This work somehow awakened my dormant powers of will and I began to practice self-control. At first my resolutions faded like snow in April, but in a little while I conquered my weakness and felt a pleasure I never knew before - that of doing as I willed." This book is finally available to the English speaking community, having not been fully translated into English before, as far as the editor knows.

Sullo sfondo degli splendidi paesaggi della Transilvania del tardo sedicesimo secolo, in un alternarsi di realtà storica e fantasia si svolge, tra avventure, amori tormentati, battaglie, congiure e misteri, la catarsi morale di Olivér Abafi, giovane cavaliere di nobile famiglia. La determinazione, la gratitudine e il sacrificio sono le colonne portanti di quest’opera senza tempo, primo esempio di romanzo storico della letteratura ungherese. “Una volta mi imbattei in una novella intitolata Il Figlio Di Aba, una traduzione serba dell’opera di Josika, un famosissimo scrittore ungherese. Questo libro riuscì a risvegliare la mia forza di volontà nascosta e iniziai così a praticare l’autocontrollo.” - Nikola Tesla

An Economist Best Book of the Year “Sweeping . . . an ambitious synthesis . . . [Evans] writes with admirable narrative power and possesses a wonderful eye for local color . . . Fascinating.”—Stephen Schuker, The Wall Street Journal From the bestselling author of The Third Reich at War, a masterly account of Europe in the age of its global hegemony; the latest volume in the Penguin History of Europe series Richard J. Evans, bestselling historian of Nazi Germany, returns with a monumental new addition to the acclaimed Penguin History of Europe series, covering the period from the fall of Napoleon to the outbreak of World War I. Evans’s gripping narrative ranges across a century of social and national conflicts, from the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 to the unification of both Germany and Italy, from the Russo-Turkish wars to the Balkan upheavals that brought this era of relative peace and growing prosperity to an end. Among the great themes it discusses are the decline of religious belief and the rise of secular science and medicine, the journey of art, music, and literature from Romanticism to Modernism, the replacement of old-regime punishments by the modern prison, the end of aristocratic domination and the emergence of industrial society, and the dramatic struggle of feminists for women’s equality and emancipation. Uniting the era’s broad-ranging transformations was the pursuit of power in all segments of life, from the banker striving for economic power to the serf seeking to escape the power of his landlord, from the engineer asserting society’s power over the environment to the psychiatrist attempting to exert science’s power over human nature itself. The first single-volume history of the century, this comprehensive and sweeping account gives the reader a magnificently human picture of Europe in the age when it dominated the rest of the globe.

A celebrated art historian and scholar of Japan, G. G. Zerffi also had a secret life as a well-paid Austrian secret agent. More than a biography of Zerffi, this book offers a rare glimpse into the secret service of the nineteenth-century Habsburg monarchy -- the precursor of all modern secret services in Europe and beyond -- while also serving as a guide to the history of the Hungarian revolution, the war of independence of 1848-49, and the international exile of European revolutionaries. Through the example of Zerffi's life, Tibor Frank examines how the secret police were used by the state to repress individual rights through intimidation and coercion, and by way of tracing Zerffi's rise as a scholar, also provides a survey of the possible ways and traps of nineteenth-century intelligentsia.

Die Tatigkeit des osterreichischen Geheimagenten Gustav G. Zerffi (1820-1892) erlaubt eine neuartige Darstellung des Polizeisystems des Neoabsolutismus. Der zweisprachige ungarische Journalist, der spater zum Spion wurde, machte eine spektakulare Karriere. Nach dem ungarischen Freiheitskampf hatte er die Aufgabe, Beziehungen zu den Anfuhrern der internationalen politischen Emigration in der Turkei, Frankreich und England zu knupfen. Er stand mit Lajos Kossuth, Karl Marx und Gottfried Kinkel in direkter Verbindung und war Sekretar des Deutschen Nationalvereins in London. In seinen fast 2000 Geheimberichten an den jeweiligen Innen- und Polizeiminister uber die Plane und Aktionen der ungarischen und internationalen revolutionaren Emigrationsszene zeigt er sich nicht nur als eifriger Beobachter und Informant, sondern auch als Werkzeug der zielbewussten Zersetzung der Emigration "von innen her". Vom Geheimdienst entlassen, wirkte der hochbegabte Zerffi dann fast drei Jahrzehnte in London als Historiker.

Tesla’s inventions transformed our world, and his visions have continued to inspire great minds for generations. Nikola Tesla invented the radio, robots, and remote control. His electric induction motors run our appliances and factories, yet he has been largely overlooked by history. In Tesla, Richard Munson presents a comprehensive portrait of this farsighted and underappreciated mastermind. When his first breakthrough—alternating current, the basis of the electric grid—pitted him against Thomas Edison’s direct-current empire, Tesla’s superior technology prevailed. Unfortunately, he had little business sense and could not capitalize on this success. His most advanced ideas went unrecognized for decades: forty years in the case of the radio patent, longer still for his ideas on laser beam technology. Although penniless during his later years, he never stopped imagining. In the early 1900s, he designed plans for cell phones, the Internet, death-ray weapons, and interstellar communications. His ideas have lived on to shape the modern economy. Who was this genius? Drawing on letters, technical notebooks, and other primary sources, Munson pieces together the magnificently bizarre personal life and mental habits of the enigmatic inventor. Born during a lightning storm at midnight, Tesla died alone in a New York City hotel. He was an acute germaphobe who never shook hands and required nine napkins when he sat down to dinner. Strikingly handsome and impeccably dressed, he spoke eight languages and could recite entire books from memory. Yet Tesla’s most famous inventions were not the product of fastidiousness or linear thought but of a mind fueled by both the humanities and sciences: he conceived the induction motor while walking through a park and reciting Goethe’s Faust. Tesla worked tirelessly to offer electric power to the world, to introduce automatons that would reduce life’s drudgery, and to develop machines that might one day abolish war. His story is a reminder that technology can transcend the marketplace and that profit is not the only motivation for invention. This clear, authoritative, and highly readable biography takes account of all phases of Tesla’s remarkable life.

Excerpt from The American Mission in Egypt: 1854 to 1896 Rev. J. R. Alexander, D. D., kindly furnished me With various Mission Reports and other papers connected with earlier efforts to bring the Gospel to Egypt. 1 am also under great obligations to my colleague, the Rev. W. Harvey, D. D., for reading the whole manuscript and giving me valuable aid. It was not until the vacation of 1893 that I was able to make a beginning of the work of writing during the month I spent in Ramleh. The following year the Mission allowed me to go to a cooler climate for a few months and thus I was able to make considerable progress. Little, however, was added during the brief vacation of 1895. The past summer, however, I spent about four months with slight interruptions at the History and brought it down to the end of 1894 - the copying being done mostly by my wife, in the course of which she was often able to make important suggestions. It is due to her to say that without her stimulus and aid I doubt if the work had ever been finished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
