"The book is a study of the ways that white radicals deployed the physical and literary image of amputation during the Civil War and Reconstruction to argue for full Black citizenship and against a national reconciliation that reimposed white supremacy. It gives readers a new way to think about the Civil War and Reconstruction"--

Pablo H. Vivanco zeichnet in dieser Publikation die Entwicklung des Liberalismus in der Habsburger-Monarchie über einen Zeitraum von zwei Dekaden aus politischer, kultureller und journalistischer Perspektive nach. Der berühmten These des "Versagens" des Wiener und europäischen Liberalismus und seiner Sublimierung in Kunst und Kultur der Jahrhundertwendezeit hält der Verfasser eine Differenzierung der politischen liberalen Öffentlichkeit in Wien entgegen, die sich frühzeitig und aus Anlass prägender Ereignissen von 1861 (Februar-Verfassung), 1867 ("Ausgleich") und 1873 (Börsenkrach) herausbildete und sich mit der ursprünglich breiten gesellschaftlichen Repräsentationskraft der 1848er Generation identifizierte. Konstitutionelle Tageszeitungen (z.B. "Neue Freie Presse", "Neues Wiener Tagblatt") bezogen in diesem Sinne auch Positionen gegen den politischen Katholizismus und aufziehenden deutschnationalistischen Antisemitismus. Liberale Presseorgane bilden somit, ebenso wie die publizistischen Beiträge des österreichisch-jüdischen Historikers, Journalisten und Politikers Heinrich Friedjung (1851-1920), Markierungspunkte in dieser neuen Geschichte liberaler Kultur und Öffentlichkeit in Wien, die durch den Transformationsprozess zu den demokratischen Massenparteien aus dem politischen Gedächtnis verdrängt wurde.

Pubblichiamo l'orazione funebre scritta dal cavaliere e procuratore veneto Paolo Paruta , storico, politico e diplomatico veneto , importante personalità culturale della Repubblica di Venezia fu pronunciata in lode e a eterna memoria della vittoriosa battaglia contro i Turchi , oggi ricordata come " battaglia di Lepanto", accaduta il fatale giorno 7 ottobre nell'anno 1571, nel cui giorno ridiamo alla luce questo antico scritto. Questo scritto , pubblicato nell' agosto dell' anno successivo, voleva rimuovere nei veneti quel sempiterno dolore che nasce nell'animo alla privazione delle persone amate ma nella volontà del Paruta andava letto non con il pianto come si suole fare, ma con molta gioia lodando la virtù dei defunti e osannando la loro felicissima sorte. Rimanga questo scritto a lode ed onore imperituro del fedeli e coraggiosi eroi della Repubblica Veneta che con il loro sacrificio vinsero e salvarono così l' intiera Europa dalla barbarie mussulmana per i secoli a venire. Il testo è stato riscoperto da Lugin Tieppo, membro dell' attuale Maggior Consiglio della Repubblica Veneta e che firma anche la nota di presentazione a questa riedizione, dopo secoli di oblio.

A rousing history of the penalty kick and its introduction in English football by a famed British writer & editor.Football, in the 1880s, was a rough and dangerous game. To address the abhorrent state of the sport, William McCrum, an amateur Irish goalkeeper and the author's great-grandfather, proposed the penalty kick, a new and drastic sanction introduced to the game in 1891. For over a hundred years, this extraordinary phenomenon has not only regulated the conduct of football (also known as soccer) but has also inspired game theories and infiltrated classics of contemporary literature.An enthralling portrait of a lost age, The Penalty Kick: The Story of a Gamechanger is a family history, a social history, and a history of the world's most popular sport. It considers an extraordinary phenomenon as it examines the penalty kick’s psychological—even philosophical—grip on our imaginations, with its distillation of risk and chance into the penalty shoot-out, an all-or-nothing moment.

Read the international sensation already translated into 10 languages!Unearthing the network that hid the "Angel of Death," the infamous Nazi doctor who escaped justice for more than three decades. In 1985, Betina Anton watched Brazilian authorities apprehend her kindergarten teacher for allegedly using false documents to bury in secrecy the remains of Josef Mengele, known worldwide for cruel human experiments and for sending thousands to the Auschwitz gas chambers. Decades later, as an experienced journalist disturbed by the mysteries surrounding the departure of Austrian expat Liselotte Bossert, Anton set out to find her and see if the rumors were true. She could not imagine how deeply into Mengele's life-on-the-run her investigation would take her.Josef Mengele was a fugitive in South America for thirty-four years after World War II, sought by Israeli secret service and Nazi hunters. Hidden for half that time in Brazil, thanks to a small circle of expatriate Europeans, Mengele created his own paradise where he could speak German with new friends, maintain his beliefs, stay one step ahead of the global manhunt, and avoid answering for his crimes. Translated from the Brazilian Tropical Bavaria edition and based on extensive research, including revelatory interviews and never-before-seen letters and photos, Hiding Mengele is a suspenseful narrative not only haunted by the doctor's horrific actions but also by the motivations driving a community to protect an evil man.

The tradition of travel runs throughout history, from ancient times to the present day. From ancient times to the 19th century, traveling by stagecoach or horse was common. This can still be seen in the many inns that still exist today and are often located on busy country roads. These inns bear the name Zur Post, for example. The large luxury hotels, on the other hand, boast a beautiful landscape ambience, often with a swimming pool. As they are located in charming natural surroundings, they have combined many features in their architectural design that cannot be found in normal residential areas and that make them so desirable for many travelers.

La tradition du voyage s'étend sur toute l'histoire, depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à nos jours. Depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'au 19e siècle, il était courant de voyager en diligence ou à cheval. On peut encore le voir dans certaines auberges qui existent encore aujourd'hui et qui se trouvent souvent sur des routes de campagne très fréquentées. Ces auberges portent par exemple le nom de Zur Post. Les grands hôtels de luxe, en revanche, se distinguent par une belle ambiance paysagère et souvent par une piscine. Étant donné qu'ils se trouvent dans un environnement naturel attrayant, ils réunissent dans leur construction architecturale de nombreux éléments que l'on ne trouve pas dans les quartiers résidentiels normaux et qui les rendent si désirables pour de nombreux voyageurs.

A tradição de viajar atravessa toda a história, desde a Antiguidade até aos nossos dias. Desde a Antiguidade até ao século XIX, era comum viajar de diligência ou a cavalo. Este facto pode ainda ser constatado nas muitas estalagens que ainda hoje existem e que se situam frequentemente em estradas rurais movimentadas. Estas pousadas têm o nome de Zur Post, por exemplo. Os grandes hotéis de luxo, por outro lado, caracterizam-se por um belo ambiente paisagístico, muitas vezes com piscina. Uma vez que se situam num ambiente natural encantador, combinam na sua conceção arquitetónica muitas características que não se encontram em zonas residenciais normais e que os tornam tão desejáveis para muitos viajantes.

La tradizione del viaggio attraversa tutta la storia, dall'antichità ai giorni nostri. Dall'antichità al XIX secolo, gli spostamenti in diligenza o a cavallo erano comuni. Lo testimoniano le numerose locande che esistono ancora oggi, spesso situate su strade di campagna molto trafficate. Queste locande portano ad esempio il nome di Zur Post. I grandi hotel di lusso, invece, sono caratterizzati da un bellissimo ambiente paesaggistico, spesso con piscina. Essendo situati in un ambiente naturale incantevole, combinano nel loro design architettonico molte caratteristiche che non si trovano nelle normali aree residenziali e che li rendono così desiderabili per molti viaggiatori.

This book presents the first systematic study of the 100-year history of translation, research, reception, and influence of Central and Eastern European literature in China from the late Qing Dynasty to the end of the twentieth century. This study of Eastern European literature from the perspective of Sino-foreign literary relations is based on extensive research into the translation and reception of Central and Eastern European writers such as Milan Kundera, Sándor Pet¿fi, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Julius Fucik, and Bertolt Brecht. Since the late nineteenth century, the major Chinese writers have paid special attention to the literature of the marginalized Eastern European nations when they have to translate from translations since few of them understand Eastern European languages. The book seeks to identify what attracted the founders of new Chinese literature to Eastern European literature and to define its unique significance for the construction of modern Chinese literature.

They really do exist, those "seven wonders of the Ernestinian world", because one family blessed humanity with its biggest early baroque palace complex, its oldest functional baroque theatre, its first baroque version of a Protestant palace church, its most precious ducal library, a chamber of art and curiosities in its original setting, the most magnificent coin cabinet, and all this surrounded by a unique landscaped park with a breathtaking urban backdrop. And now you will be wondering where you can find all these things in a single place. The answer is: Gotha. Experience the history of an ancient family which, in the 21st century, is related to every royal family in Europe and to princes all over the world, and of whom the world can rightly say: "The House of Saxe-Gotha - Princely Crown of Europe".

Chancen für die gewaltlose Vereinigung geteilter Nationen bestehen, wenn alle Beteiligten sie wollen: diejenigen, die von der Teilung bislang profitierten, ebenso wie alle von ihr Betroffenen, zumeist die Leidtragenden. Kurz gesagt, es muss zu einem Nutzenwandel der Teilung kommen. Nach 20 Jahren Entspannungs- und Ostpolitik gab es 1990 eine Situation, die ein vereintes, in Europa integriertes, Deutschland als besser für Frieden und Stabilität erscheinen ließ als dessen Teilung, welche ihren Nutzen verloren hatte. Deutschlands Normalisierungsprozess stößt in China, auf Taiwan und Zypern sowie in Korea auf großes Interesse. Seine Relevanz wird jedoch unterschiedlich eingeschätzt: als ein in Teilen anzustrebendes Modell oder aber als Tragödie. Nordkorea möchte eine solche Entwicklung auf jeden Fall vermeiden, Taiwan strebt ein gutnachbarschaftliches Verhältnis zur Volksrepublik China an, aber keine Wiedervereinigung. Die Republik Zypern wünscht sich eine Vereinigung wie in Deutschland. Die Türkische Republik Nordzypern möchte durch Normalisierung Anerkennung erreichen und eine möglichst lockere Konföderation. Nach wie vor ist der Entspannungs- und Vereinigungsprozess Deutschlands in diesen Ländern ein genau studierter Untersuchungsgegenstand, allerdings mit sehr selektiver Wahrnehmung. Zukünftige Entwicklungen zwischen der Volksrepublik China und Taiwan sowie auf der koreanischen Halbinsel werden auch direkte Auswirkungen auf Deutschland haben.

This book analyses the British government¿s use of cultural diplomacy in South Africa from 1960 to 1994. Previously, scholarship on UK-South African relations has focussed mainly on political, economic, or military links; this book makes an important and original intervention by emphasising how the British government sought to use cultural ties as part of its diplomacy in South Africa. The book also highlights the controversy these links generated owing to broader international efforts to ostracise South Africa owing to the racist apartheid system in the country at the time. By examining British policy towards educational exchanges, performing arts tours, radio and television broadcasts, and sporting contact, this book provides a dynamic case study from which to analyse Britain¿s use of cultural diplomacy during a period of relative decline, while also adding a new layer to the well-established literature on the UK-South African special relationship.
