Synopsis "Magníficos Rebeldes (in Spanish)"

La aventura filosófica de un grupo de jóvenes rebeldes, el Círculo de Jena, que dieron lugar al Romanticismo y a nuestra comprensión moderna de la libertad. EL REGRESO DE ANDREA WULF TRAS LA INVENCIÓN DE LA NATURALEZA «Magníficos rebeldes vibra con la pasión salvaje y las ideas radicales de un nuevo mundo libre creado a partir de la poesía, el sexo, la música y el romanticismo. Absolutamente fascinante . -SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE Cuándo empezamos a exigir el derecho a decidir sobre nuestras vidas? En qué momento nos volvimos tan egocéntricos como lo somos hoy? Cuándo nos planteamos por primera vez la pregunta « Cómo puedo ser libre? . Todo comenzó en una tranquila ciudad universitaria de Alemania en la década de 1790, cuando un grupo de dramaturgos, poetas y escritores pusieron el yo en el centro del escenario de su pensamiento, su escritura y sus vidas. Este brillante círculo incluía a los famosos poetas Goethe, Schiller y Novalis; a los visionarios filósofos Fichte, Schelling y Hegel; a los polémicos hermanos Schlegel; y, en un maravilloso cameo, a Alexander Von Humboldt. En el corazón de este grupo estaba la formidable Caroline Schlegel, gran instigadora de sus deslumbrantes conversaciones sobre el yo, la naturaleza, la identidad y la libertad. La colaboración entre estas figuras lanzó el romanticismo al escenario mundial. En sus vidas exuberantes se nos revelan peleas épicas, historias de amor apasionadas, penas desgarradoras y, sobre todo, ideas radicales en torno al poder creativo del yo, así como las más altas aspiraciones del arte y la ciencia, la unidad de la naturaleza y el verdadero significado de la libertad. Así fue como estos jóvenes románticos incitaron una revolución mental que transformó nuestro mundo para siempre. Hoy seguimos avanzando por la misma cuerda floja entre la autorrealización personal y el narcisismo destructivo, entre los derechos individuales y las responsabilidades hacia la comunidad y las generaciones futuras. En el corazón de este libro inspirador se encuentra la tensión, extremadamente moderna, entre los peligros del egoísmo y las emocionantes posibilidades que ofrece la libertad del individuo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the best-selling author of The Invention of Nature comes an exhilarating story about a remarkable group of young rebels--poets, novelists, philosophers--who, through their epic quarrels, passionate love stories, heartbreaking grief, and radical ideas launched Romanticism onto the world stage, inspiring some of the greatest thinkers of the time. "Make[s] the reader feel as if they were in the room with the great personalities of the age, bearing witness to their insights and their vanities and rages." --Lauren Groff, New York Times best-selling author of Matrix When did we begin to be as self-centered as we are today? At what point did we expect to have the right to determine our own lives? When did we first ask the question? How can I be free? It all began in a quiet university town in Germany in the 1790s, when a group of playwrights, poets, and writers put the self at center stage in their thinking, their writing, and their lives. This brilliant circle included the famous poets Goethe, Schiller, and Novalis; the visionary philosophers Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel; the contentious Schlegel brothers; and, in a wonderful cameo, Alexander von Humboldt. And at the heart of this group was the formidable Caroline Schlegel, who sparked their dazzling conversations about the self, nature, identity, and freedom. The French revolutionaries may have changed the political landscape of Europe, but the young Romantics incited a revolution of the mind that transformed our world forever. We are still empowered by their daring leap into the self, and by their radical notions of the creative potential of the individual, the highest aspirations of art and science, the unity of nature, and the true meaning of freedom. We also still walk the same tightrope between meaningful self-fulfillment and destructive narcissism, between the rights of the individual and our responsibilities toward our community and future generations. At the heart of this inspiring book is the extremely modern tension between the dangers of selfishness and the thrilling possibilities of free will.
