Cărți de Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle (4 December 1795 – 5 February 1881) was a Scottish historian, philosopher and mathematician who expressed himself as an essayist and satirist. He is well remembered for the great man theory, which he developed in his book On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and The Heroic in History, coining the term "the dismal science", creating the Carlyle circle, and for his pro-slavery and anti-democratic views, which he expressed in "Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question" and "Past and Present".

His 1837 history of the French Revolution was the inspiration for Charles Dickens's 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cities. The influence on American literature of his 1836 Sartor Resartus, a novel both satirical and philosophical, has been described as "difficult to overstate".
