DESCRIPTION:Real Lives in the Eighteenth Century presents a global history 
 using four sets of biographies to illustrate corresponding situations in d
 ifferent geographical regions. Loosely based on Plutarch's Parallel Lives\
 , the four chapters focus on maritime trade\, letters\, empire\, and revol
 ution. The vibrant narratives that span four continents include the follow
 ing pairs: Tupaia (c.1725-1770) and Olaudah Equiano (c.1745-1797)\, seafar
 ers of the Pacific and Atlantic\; Phillis Wheatley (c.1753-1784)\, and Ho 
 Xuan Huong (c.1772-c.1822)\, poets of revolution\; Marie Antoinette (1745-
 1792) and Catherine the Great (1729-1796)\, princesses at foreign courts\;
  and José Gabriel Túpac Amaru (c.1742-1781) and Toussaint Louverture (c.
 1743-1803)\, leaders of revolutions. As a global history\, this volume cov
 ers political upheaval in five regions: America\, France\, Haiti\, Peru\, 
 and Vietnam. It explores key concepts such as freedom\, knowledge\, and tr
 ade in relation to the bondage and exploitation that accompanied the expan
 sion of world empires and international trade systems. Taking the indomita
 ble human spirit as its guiding theme\, Real Lives includes dramatic stori
 es of triumph\, defeat\, and unimaginable survival. It immerses readers in
  the fascinating\, inspiring\, and often tragic aspects of life in the eig
 hteenth century.
