Book excerpt: Cu o prefață a autorului la ediția româneascã Traducere de Adina Cobuz, Wilhelm Tauwinkl, Emanoil Marcu, Vlad Russo, Mariana Piroteală, Marieva-Cătălina Ionescu, Georgeta-Anca Ionescu și Elena Ciocoiu Carte recompensată cu Premiul Jan Michalski (Elveția, 2017) și Premiul Aujourd'hui (Franța, 2018) „Avem dictatura proletariatului, avem o putere care face uz de teroare.“ – Lenin „Nu s-a ucis la scară suficient de mare. Noi trebuie să ucidem, şi afirmăm că a ucide este un lucru bun.ׅ“ – Mao „Comunismul este conștiința vinovată mondială. Nici o altă ideologie, într-un interval de timp comparabil, nu a cucerit atât de multe țări, atât de multe minți și nu a distrus atâtea vieți omenești. Și tocmai omul se află în inima cărții mele. Nu inventez nimic în această istorie a comunismului, nu există dialoguri fabricate, toate situațiile despre care vorbesc sunt atestate, în general sunt cunoscute, nu sunt eu cel dintâi care le descoperă. Meritul meu, singurul pe care îl am în raport cu această narațiune, este acela de a fi adus laolaltă sute de elemente disparate, pentru a vedea lucrurile în ansamblu. Am vrut să-l iau pe cititor de mână și să-l însoțesc de-a lungul istoriei dramatice a comunismului. Sper că am reușit; în această carte există carne și viață.“ – Thierry Wolton „O întreprindere extraordinară. Thierry Wolton sfâșie vălul care încă acoperă crimele regimului comunist și sfidează imperativele care-au împiedicat condamnarea lui chiar din timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial.“ – Alain Besançon „Thierry Wolton propune o manieră inedită de a sublinia «caracterul universal malign» al ideii comuniste. Volumul 1 al trilogiei, al cărui subiect central sunt «călăii», arată cum, din URSS și până în Etiopia, fiecare generație de conducători preia de la precedenta metodele prin care «constrâng realitatea să se supună canoanelor utopiei», cu prețul exterminării unor populații întregi. Avem de-a face aici cu un sfâșietor și întunecat tablou al unei himere din care cu greu izbutim să ne desprindem.“ – Philosophie Magazine „N-ai cum să nu te-ntrebi, citind aceste pagini care valorează greutatea lor în sânge, cum de, în numele fericirii și al libertății, unii oameni au putut să dea dovadă, și încă în mod sistematic, de o asemenea cruzime față de alți oameni. După căderea Zidului Berlinului, după căderea regimurilor comuniste din Europa și implozia Uniunii Sovietice, ai crede că ne-am eliberat de «spectrul comunismului». Și totuși, în lipsa unei condamnări internaționale efective, nici crimele comunismului nu pot fi judecate în adevărata lor lumină.“ – Le Figaro

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Khyber is Istorica for the exiles, the one entrusted with remembering all their history, everything they've learned. Despite the support of her grandmother, Dayree, Khyber feels she's let down her family by not being able to step between worlds and take the exiles home. She has many gifts, but her talent for telling stories becomes the most important, when it offers the exiles a chance to reach out and find other exiles from Rehdonna. However, enemies have followed the exiles to Earth, and the only way to protect her family and village is to live separated from them under a false name. For the sake of the exiles, Khyber will do whatever it takes...and in the process find her way home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Ibsen's plays were seldom performed in Romania in the first half of the 20th century, historical sources highlight his strong impact on the national theatre practice. To address this contradiction, Gianina Druta approaches the reception of Ibsen in the Romanian theatre in the period 1894-1947, combining Digital Humanities and theatre historiography. This investigation of the European theatre culture and the way in which the foreign acting and staging traditions influenced the Romanian Ibsenites provides new insights into mechanisms of aesthetic transmission. Thus, this study presents a European theatre landscape whose unpredictability and uniqueness cannot be confined to essentialist interpretations.

Book excerpt: In the seventeenth-century English Atlantic, religious beliefs and practices played a central role in creating racial identity. English Protestantism provided a vocabulary and structure to describe and maintain boundaries between insider and outsider. In this path-breaking study, Heather Miyano Kopelson peels back the layers of conflicting definitions of bodies and competing practices of faith in the puritan Atlantic, demonstrating how the categories of “white,” “black,” and “Indian” developed alongside religious boundaries between “Christian” and “heathen” and between “Catholic” and “Protestant.” Faithful Bodies focuses on three communities of Protestant dissent in the Atlantic World: Bermuda, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. In this “puritan Atlantic,” religion determined insider and outsider status: at times Africans and Natives could belong as long as they embraced the Protestant faith, while Irish Catholics and English Quakers remained suspect. Colonists’ interactions with indigenous peoples of the Americas and with West Central Africans shaped their understandings of human difference and its acceptable boundaries. Prayer, religious instruction, sexual behavior, and other public and private acts became markers of whether or not blacks and Indians were sinning Christians or godless heathens. As slavery became law, transgressing people of color counted less and less as sinners in English puritans’ eyes, even as some of them made Christianity an integral part of their communities. As Kopelson shows, this transformation proceeded unevenly but inexorably during the long seventeenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucian Blaga was an early twentieth-century European philosopher whose work was suppressed at the height of his career by the creation of the Romanian Socialist Republic. Blaga's philosophical writings are rich and creative, spanning metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of science, philosophical anthropology, aesthetics, philosophy of culture, philosophy of history, and philosophy of religion. Mircea Eliade wrote that Blaga was the most gifted and critical original thinker in the history of Romanian philosophy. Because of historical circumstances, Blaga's philosophy has not become known outside of his own country, although within Romania it continues to be read and discussed. Were it to become known outside of Romania, Blaga's philosophy could provide interesting contributions to contemporary philosophical discussions. The thesis of this book is that Blaga's philosophy can make valuable contributions to contemporary Anglo-American philosophy. In order to support this thesis, Blaga's philosophical system is explained in detail so that the reader may see how it can be applied to a variety of philosophical issues. philosophy of religion in order to demonstrate that it can contribute to contemporary Anglo-American discussions. Michael S. Jones is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Liberty University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: „Tot sensul vieții noastre poate fi gândit ca o aducere la vizibilitate, prin felul nostru de a vedea, a părții de nevăzut din lume şi din fiecare. Fiecare dintre eseurile cuprinse în acest volum pune în lumină sau celebrează o formă de nevăzut. Nu este nevăzutul suprasensibil ori extrasenzorial. Nu e nimic mistic în nevăzutul de care vorbesc și nimic mistagogic în felul în care îl invoc. Nevăzutul nu e o opțiune. Nevăzutul este aici, lângă noi, în noi, ca un dat inconturnabil al lumii și al naturii noastre. Suntem în el predați lui cu totul, așa cum suntem predați apei, când ne scufundăm, ori aerului, când ne regăsim respirația. Singularitatea condiției noastre constă în faptul că partea nevăzută, în viața noastră, decide totul, în situația în care singurele dovezi ale nevăzutului de care depindem stau în văzutul după care fugim, ori de care fugim, ori pe care îl pierdem.“ „La început, esenţa umanităţii europene a fost a unui om care se refugia dintr-un dezastru: gestul fondator constă în faptul că, în Eneida, eroul nu a părăsit Troia distrusă de flăcări singur, ci împreună cu esența trecutului său. Enea îl ducea în spinare pe bătrânul său tată, Anchise, care, la rândul lui, purta cu el larii și penații strămoșilor. Această imagine a fost cifrul simbolic al Romei și, ori de câte ori s-a reinventat, a fost și cifrul simbolic al Europei.“ (Horia-Roman PATAPIEVICI)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern central Africa comes to life in an extraordinary atlas of vivid watercolors and drawings that Italian Capuchin Franciscans, veterans of Kongo and Angola missions, composed between 1650 and 1750 for the training of future missionaries. These “practical guides” present the intricacies of the natural, social, and religious environment of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century west-central Africa and outline the primarily visual catechization methods the friars devised for the region. Images on a Mission in Early Modern Kongo and Angola brings this overlooked visual corpus to public and scholarly attention. This beautifully illustrated book includes full-color reproductions of all the images in the atlas, in conjunction with rarely seen related material gathered from collections and archives around the world. Taking a bold new approach to the study of early modern global interactions, art historian Cécile Fromont demonstrates how visual creations such as the Capuchin vignettes, though European in form and crafstmanship, emerged not from a single perspective but rather from cross-cultural interaction. Fromont models a fresh way to think about images created across cultures, highlighting the formative role that cultural encounter itself played in their conception, execution, and modes of operation. Centering Africa and Africans, and with ramifications on four continents, Fromont’s decolonial history profoundly transforms our understanding of the early modern world. It will be of substantial interest to specialists in early modern studies, art history, and religion.

Book excerpt: Despite the criticism of his peers and the inattention of his successors, Alexandru Xenopol provided Romanian nationalistic historiography with a greater measure of respectability, especially with the general public. By the time of WWI a strong sense of national identity had become entrenched as an intellectually respectable mentality among Romania’s literate classes. This book examines Xenopol’s participation in the creation of this mentality in Romania during decades that were crucial to the development of institutionalized intellectual life and and educted behaviour in that country.
