출판사 서평

반군들과 개혁주의자들. The Book of Rebels and Reformers, by Arthur Ponsonby
INTRODUCTION
THIS book is intended for young people who are beginning to take an interest in
historical subjects, and it may also be acceptable to those who are too busy with
their daily work to find much time or opportunity for continuing, as they would
like a full course of study. Many people have not the leisure to read a three？volume biography, and so they miss knowing anything at all about some of the
great figures in history.
We have tried here to tell quite simply the story of the lives of a dozen great men,
some of whom may not be very familiar.
There are many books about men of action―soldiers, sailors, and explorers―but
it is not so easy to find any simple account of men who have used their minds
and their pens, rather than the sword, in the work for the betterment of their
country to which they have devoted their lives.
We have chosen men who are not actually connected with one another in any
way. But although they lived in different lands and in different centuries, they are
linked by the same qualities; the same strain runs through them all of fearlessness,
moral courage, and independence of character. Most of viii them were accounted
rebels in their day, but the rebel of one century is often the hero of the next.
Though there may be a strong resemblance in the aims of these men, their
personalities are different. For instance, there could not be two men more unlike
one another than Voltaire and Tolstoy, yet they both devoted their energy and
their genius to fighting superstition and shams. Most of our heroes recognized
no authority but that of their own conscience, and each of them helped in his
way the advance of progress in his country and in the mind of humanity.
The twelve men chosen are not all perhaps the most famous, or what is
commonly called the “ greatest,” that might have been selected. But that is one
of the reasons we have written about them. While every one knows the story of
Galileo, but few may have read about Tycho Brahe; Luther is a familiar figure and
Savonarola, perhaps, only a name; many lives have been written of President
Lincoln, but some have never read of William Lloyd Garrison; Garibaldi is
renowned, but Mazzini’s work for Italy has not often been described.
We have done no more than just mention the political, scientific, or literary
accomplishments of these men or their philosophy and religious thoughts,
because we have wanted only to tell the story of their lives. Struggles, difficulties,
and dangers which have to be encountered, ideas, ambitions, and even personal
habits and peculiarities, all make the true story of ix a man’s life inspiring and
attractive. Ideas are the mainspring of action. The original thoughts of great
minds and the unflinching resolve of courageous souls have done far more for
the advancement of mankind than any deeds of physical prowess, violence, or
force. Those of the younger generation to whom will fall the task of correcting
some of the many faults and errors of their predecessors should remember in
their work that they must rely on the wonderful power of thought, on knowledge
of the lessons of the past, and on a clear vision of the future.
Maybe some of our readers will find these lives sufficiently interesting to induce
them to read more of these men in the great books which have been written about
them. If so, we shall feel that we have succeeded in our object.
