Миналото е чужда страна - никога това не е било по-вярно. В наши дни често забравяме колко различно е било миналото от настоящето, а историческата памет сякаш губи значение. Често гледаме на вековете назад като история на съществуващите днес държави - Франция, Германия, Британия, Русия и прочие, но това всъщност скрива много по-сложната и нюансирана реалност. Европейската история прелива от кралства, княжества, империи и републики, които днес вече не съществуват, но сенките им все още се разпознават по картите. Последвайте големия историк Норман Дейвис във възкресяването на спомените за Толоса, Галиция, Алт Клут, ... |

Second, expanded & updated edition. ... This book is for everyone with an interest in Jewish history in Bulgaria and the Balkans, and in the general history of southeastern Europe. It is designed to be a journey through both territory and time, illuminating the sometimes very complex backgrounds while guiding through the topography. Many of the monuments described in it are hard to find and in various stages of disrepair: poignant reminders of a long-disappeared culture, but also pointers to the present and the future. Unless travellers know exactly where they are going and what they are seeking, these landmarks of ... |

Meta-anthropology of the history of the 21st century. The author sets out his philosophical perspective on the causes and aftermath of the war in Ukraine through the prism of the meta-anthropology of history, drawing on the biblical parable of David and Goliath to clarify the dichotomy between the new humanism and neo-totalitarianism. The new humanism is not just an ideology or a practice of sympathy for the afflicted, especially in war, but is expressed in an effective and wise understanding of the Other that prevents death and destruction. Most importantly, the new humanism must actually prevent and stop crimes against ... |

"The history of the Jewish ethnicity and its material culture are inseparable from Bulgarian history and culture. Regardless of the preceding series of conscientiously carried separate studies on the topic of the fate of local Jewish communities and especially on the issue of synagogues as their most prominent artistic creations during the long centuries of exile, the "last word" in that respect was not either said or written until now. Professor Jan Assmann of Heidelberg University says: "The cultural memory procures "breathing air" to the world that is too narrow for the everyday realities ... |

It was a dappled and daubed harbor scene that gave Impressionism its name. When Impression, Sunrise by Claude Monet was exhibited in April 1874, critics seized upon the work's title and its loose stylistic rendering of light and motion upon water to deride this new, impressionistic, tendency in art. As with many seminal art movements, the critics got their comeuppance. Today, Impressionism is close contender for the world's favorite period of painting. With blockbuster exhibitions, record-breaking auction prices, and packed museums, the works once dismissed as unfinished or imprecise are now beloved for their ... |

Пол и модернизъм подлага модернистичното движение на критическа преоценка в търсене на отговор на въпроса доколко бунтът на самоназовалите се модернисти се ангажира с актуалните за времето полови норми, както и каква е ролята на радикалните реформатори в областта. Като се фокусира главно върху връзките между северноамериканските и европейските модернисти, Мария Букур демонстрира защо анализът на половите аспекти на модернизма е ключов за осмислянето на неговото наследство. Авторката се спира върху най-важните изследвания на движението и проследява как дефинициите за модернизма са еволюирали заедно с посветената му наука. ... |
