His major work, \u003cem\u003eThe Martyrdom of Man\u003c\/em\u003e (1872), is a secular history of the Western world. According to one historian, the book became a kind of \"substitute bible for secularists\". In it, Reade attempts to trace the development of Western civilization in terms analogous to those used in the natural sciences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Martyrdom of Man\u003c\/em\u003e was a history of the world from an entirely new viewpoint, and was a prominent freethinking text of the late Nineteenth century. It is not an exaggeration to say that it provided a view of History as revolutionary as Darwin's view of Science - an entirely new and non-religious way of looking at the subject. It was very popular and influential on publication in the 1870's and long after - Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells and George Orwell were all heavily influenced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 11, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984076636461,"sku":"9781773238012","price":16.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/TEczVTcyU2l4c1ZOU25PVFBYZnlsdz09.webp?v=1776081783","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-martyrdom-of-man-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
