2-0 out of 5 stars An Ancient Relic
This was, sadly, the only biography my library had on Gustavus Adolphus. This book was originally published in 1904 as part of a "Heroes of Nations" biography series. This book is ironically more interesting in that it is, in itself, a better piece of history than its substance. The author reflects at one point on his era of world peace, and pleads with the reader to understand the alien concept of a war-torn Europe -- writing a decade before the outbreak of WWI, its most chilling to read today. Other references make you smile a litte: "...the current reigning House of Romanoff" "...what we today call the dual monarchy of Austro-Hungary." And a telling pro-German remark at the end, when the French recovery of Alsace and Lorraine was established at the end of the Thirty Years War, the author notes "...for another generation of heroes to recover." A frank endorsement of the events of the Franco-German war of 1870-71, in which the two provinces were annexed back to Germany (to be lost again to France after WWI).Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent, concise and informative!
Michael Roberts is perhaps the leading authority on Swedish history today, and this book is extremely well written. The writing style is clear, detailed and easy to understand; one is not bogged down in a slough of meaningless facts. What is brilliant about this book as well, is that Roberts carefully places Sweden and the actions of Gustavus in context with the events happening in Europe. It covers every aspect of Gustavus Adolphus and his reign; there are in-depth chapters on Gustavus' foreign policy, the domestic and important military reform that he carried out, the king as a person etc. Roberts has also painstakingly gone through many Swedish primary sources as well; the book is written by a historian who has definitely done all the hard work to get the facts right, and more besides.This is a book I would recommend without hesitation to anyone studying Swedish history. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars The Swabian Philosopher and the Seer of the North.
This beautifully written book describes the role of the theosophy of Emmanuel Swedenborg in the philosophy of Schelling.Schelling's reading of Swedenborg and his incorporation of Swedenborg's theology and notion of the "spirit world" into his own system are discussed.Schelling suffered immense pain with the death of the two women that he loved, including his wife.He was deeply troubled, and he sought out Swedenborg's writings, who allegedly had contact with the realm of spirits to comfort him.The existence of the realm of spirits and the special way by which Swedenborg was graced with knowledge of it raises many philosophical questions.Despite the fact that Kant had given Swedenborg a negative review in his _Dreams of a Spirit-Seer_ and thereby damaged his reputation, Schelling and others of a similar mind had gone back to Swedenborg's writings and examined his claims.Among these claims was that the souls of husband and wife were reunited in the afterlife.This meant that contrary to the traditional Christian view, gender was preserved in the afterlife.This idea was particularly comforting to Schelling.Also, Swedenborg claimed that the planets were inhabited by men and that Christ's redemptive act applied universally to all these inhabitants.This idea also was considered by Schelling.The book considers the unique role that the mind and spiritualism of Swedenborg played in the thought of Schelling.However, like many others Schelling eventually came to reject parts of the eschatology of Swedenborg because of it's "heretical content", that went against the orthodox view.While Swedenborg remains an unorthodox figure, many have come to consider him "the last of the Church fathers", endowed with a special gift.The book examines biblical and philosophical ways of assessing this gift of prophecy (especially in the letters of Paul).Whatever epistemic status may be assigned to his encounters with the spirt world, they certainly provide much interesting reading and a unique way of understanding the Christian message.This book provides an excellent introduction to Swedenborg and his influence upon Schelling, in his life and work.

4-0 out of 5 stars An intelligent study of two philosophers
This book presents a detailed look at Friedrich Schelling's works and influences, namely Swedenborg.It studies how Schelling's philosophy changed throughout his life, while providing interesting background information about why these changes occured.The study is interesting and the personal information backs it up and keeps the reader hooked.This book is also helpful to those unfamiliar with Swedenborg's philosophical writings; it provides exerpts from the works being discussed. ...
