{"product_id":"past-present-and-future-laszlo-solymar-9781496984944","title":"Past, Present and Future: An Irreverent Treatment of History","description":"The present book is about history, written through the satirical eyes of a Hungarian refugee in the early 1960s, a few years after he settled in England. The title \"Past, Present and Future,\" together with the subtitle \"An Irreverent Treatment of History,\" explains beautifully what the book is about. Brief but profound historical judgments are made about everything that matters: socialism, capitalism, communism, Nazism, colonialism, revolution, science, religion, war and peace, and stability and anarchy. The common factor is power. Everything is explained by the love of power by individuals, groups, social classes, dictators, and nations-by people who are high up and by people who are low down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laszlo Solymar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496984943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496984944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Laszlo Solymar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445210984703,"sku":"9781496984944","price":15.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96082573-44da-43af-a2f6-1a1cfa79c7fd.jpg?v=1777217238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/past-present-and-future-laszlo-solymar-9781496984944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
