Emma Rothschild | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

The intimate history of the Johnstones: 4 sisters and 7 brothers who lived in Scotland and around the globe in the fast-changing 18th century. Piecing together their voyages, marriages, debts and lawsuits and examining their ideas, sentiments and values, Rothschild illuminates a tumultuous period that created the modern economy, the British Empire and the philosophical Enlightenment.
