Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring Victorian England's social and political landscape, this collection critiques the moral and spiritual decline of society, as highlighted in "The Present Time." Carlyle emphasizes the obsession with individual success over higher principles, leading to societal discord. He also addresses the failures of the penal system in "Model Prisons" and critiques government corruption in "Downing Street." The pamphlets delve into education, slavery, and the Irish Famine, ultimately advocating for a return to moral values and a spiritual approach to address the excesses of industrialization and capitalism.
