About the Book

The opposition to the omnipotence of the state had a significant impact on the political organization of European society. A social strategy aimed to strengthen the social fabric to counterbalance the power of the state. The Struggle with Leviathan pays special attention to the social strategy and is structured around the fascinating biography of the Austrian diplomat Gustav von Blome. The original Dutch edition of this book was awarded the biennial international Arenberg Prize for European History and Culture.

Review :
The Struggle with Leviathan provides an intimate and learned history of ultramontanist Catholicism in the nineteenth century. Giuliana Chamedes, Journal of Modern History, September 2020 vol. 92, no. 3 Pomimo kilku krytycznych uwag książkę Emiela Lambertsa czyta się znakomicie. To ważna publikacja, wyjaśniająca kulisy narodzenia się nowego ruchu w Kościele katolickim i równocześnie pokazująca nie tylko transformację tej instytucji, ale i zmianę, jaką przeszło życie polityczne w Europie, głównie w drugiej połowie XIX w. To też, a może przede wszystkim wydobycie z cienia postaci Gustava von Blomego, którego historia życia i różnorodne formy działalności politycznej stanowią doskonałą kanwę, by przyjrzeć się panoramie dziejów Europy w omawianym czasie. Tomasz Pudłocki, Kwartalnik Historyczny 125, 2018, no 4 Der Autor Emiel Lamberts, der das vorliegende Buch bereits 2011 in niederländischer Sprache herausgegeben hat, legt hier ein grossartiges Buch vor, das sich stellenweise wie ein Roman liest und grosse Sprachkraft besitzt. Der Leser wird förmlich in eine andere Welt hineingezogen. [...] Gerade darum ist dem Band eine weite Verbreitung zu wünschen, die sozialen Fragen sind aktueller denn je, und auch der religiöse Aspekt scheint darin wichtiger zu werden als auch schon mal. David Neuhold, SZRKG, 110 (2016)
