Download or read book Bosnian Chronicle written by Ivo Andric and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in the town of Travnik, Bosnian Chronicle presents the struggle for supremacy in a region that stubbornly refuses to submit to any outsider. The era is Napoleonic and the novel, both in its historical scope and psychological subtlety, Tolstoyan. In its portrayal of conflict and fierce ethnic loyalties, the story is also eerily relevant. Ottoman viziers, French consuls, and Austrian plenipotentiaries are consumed by an endless game of diplomacy and double-dealing: expansive and courtly face-to-face, brooding and scheming behind closed doors. As they have for centuries, the Bosnians themselves observe and endure the machinations of greater powers that vie, futilely, to absorb them. Ivo Andric's masterwork is imbued with the richness and complexity of a region that has brought so much tragedy to our century and known so little peace. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more.

Download or read book Great Serbian Short Stories written by Stjepan Mitrov Ljubisa and published by Movement Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "But the country could not accept the bridge and the bridge could not accept the country." This quotation, from the short story "The Bridge on the Zepa," by the 1961 Nobel laureate Ivo Andric, whose story, "Thirst," is included in this collection, reflects the essence of the state of human relations in the Balkans. Here Andric observes that while bridges are built to connect and not divide, human nature, as it is, can lead to discord and alienation. In fact, throughout its history Serbia was a point of convergence, and even more often, a place of confrontation. The stories in this anthology depict figuratively the banks on either side of the bridge in Serbia and the Balkans. On the one side there is respectfulness and coalescence, and on the other, turbulence and division among people along social, economic, ethnic, and religious lines. One of the best ways to get acquainted with foreign literature is to select an anthology in order to sample individual writers to get a sense of a nation's literary culture. To that end, the purpose of this anthology of short stories is to enlighten the reader about Serbia and the Serbian people. This volume represents the quintessential anthology of Serbian short stories in the English language selected in terms of the diversity of topics, styles, and literary trends, covering both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The stories chosen for this anthology represent the best available selection presenting unique tales indigenous to Serbia. The nineteenth-century stories deal with life in rural Serbia, characterized by realistic descriptions, simplicity, and appealing characters. In contrast, Serbia's twentieth-century authors are recognized for their courage and daring in confronting totalitarian communist norms, and later for literary innovations illustrating the environment, people, and values of democratic Serbia. These Serb writers rank among the masters of modern literature. The first short stories appearing in Serbia of literary value date from the middle of the nineteenth century. During that period, the Serbian literary milieu was impacted significantly by Western European and Russian cultures, due mostly to two developments: firstly, a number of Serbian students acquired higher education in Western European countries, and upon returning, exerted their influence on the Serbian literary scene, bringing with them new and progressive ideas. Through the influx of such foreign-educated Serb intellectuals, Serbia was able to establish at least a peripheral literary connection with Western Europe. Secondly, Russian literature of the nineteenth century with its two literary giants, Leo Tolstoy and Fedor Dostoyevsky, were accessible to Serbian intellectuals because of the similarity of the Serbian and Russian languages and the ability of Serbs to read some of the works in the original, as well as in translation.

Book Synopsis The Illuminated Chronicle by : János M. Bak
Download or read book The Illuminated Chronicle written by János M. Bak and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Illuminated Chronicle was composed in 1358 in the international artistic style at the royal court of Louis I of Hungary. Its text, presented here in a new edition and translation, is the most complete record of Hungary's medieval historical tradition, going back to the eleventh century and including the mythical past of its people. The pictures in this manuscript—formerly known as the Vienna Chronicle—are not merely occasional illustrations added to some exemplars, but text and image are closely connected and mutually related to each other, to qualify it as a proper “illuminated chronicle”. The artistic value of the miniatures is quite high, and the characters are drawn with detail and with a knowledge of anatomy. Forty-two of the miniatures are included in the present volume. A full color facsimile will be accessible online. The 147 pictures are an invaluable source of information on late medieval cultural history, costume, and court life. In a historiographical context, The Illuminated Chronicle is an attempt at the popularization of the national history and a systematic appeal to circles beyond the old monastic-clerical audience. The Illuminated Chronicle (Chronica de gestis Hungarorum e codice picto saec. xiv.) is the ninth volume in the Central European Medieval Texts, a Latin–English bilingual series.
Book Synopsis The Dark Social Capital of Religious Radicals by : Johannes Saal
Download or read book The Dark Social Capital of Religious Radicals written by Johannes Saal and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the departure of European Muslims to the “Islamic State” and a wave of terrorist attacks in Europe in recent years, the questions of why and how individuals radicalize to Jihadi extremism attracted keen interest. This thesis examines how individuals radicalize by applying a theoretical framework that primarily refers to social capital theory, the economics of religion, and social movement theory. The analysis of the biographical backgrounds, pathways of radicalization, and network connections of more than 1,300 Jihadi extremists from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland shows that radicalization primarily need to be considered as a social process of isolation from former social contacts and affiliation with a new religious group. Radicalization is characterized by the transformation of social capital and often channeled through so-called “strong ties” to friends and family members. These peer networks constitute the social fundament of radical clusters on the local level which are usually linked to a broader milieu through exclusive mosque communities and religious authorities. Bonding social capital within these radical groups minimizes the risk of betrayal and promotes trust essential for clandestine and risky activities.
