Michael Wagner

This book provides a collective view of the five major English chartered trading companies which were active during the period 1688-1763: The East India Company, the Royal African Company, the Hudson's Bay Company, The Levant Company, and the Russia Company. Using both archival and secondary sources, this monograph fills in some of the knowledge gaps concerning the less well-studied companies, and examines the interconnections between international rivalry, the financial operations of the companies, and politics which have not featured prominently in the historiography.

Michael Wagner nimmt uns mit in die tieferliegenden Abgr nde seines Seins und pr sentiert eine Auswahl verschiedener b riger Kurzgeschichten, die in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten aktuell waren, aber auch in der Mitte der 2020er-Jahre nichts an Unterhaltungswert eingeb t haben. Vom Einblick in den Alltag eines Gef ngnisses und die Seele eines S chtigen ber r hrende Betrachtungen klassischer Familienstrukturen und romantisierter Beziehungen sowie v llig abstruse Beobachtungen bis zur Analyse der Arbeit des Einflusses des Vaters der modernen Zeitungsreportage, Egon Erwin Kisch, wartet eine enorme Bandbreite auf die Leserschaft.
