Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jan Sobieski was one of the most extraordinary and visionary monarchs of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from 1674 until his death. He was a man of letters, an artistic person, a dedicated ruler but above all the greatest soldier of his time. Popular among his subjects, he won considerable fame for his decisive victory over the Ottomans at the walls of Vienna (1683). For defeating the Muslim invaders, Pope Innocent XI hailed Sobieski as the saviour of Christendom. REVIEWS "Miltiades Varvounis describes Sobieski's personality and lasting accomplishments in an exciting and illuminating way that will captivate the imagination of every reader of History books, while, at the same time, bringing back to life a period of relentless struggles between Christianity and Islam that formed the 'last chapter' of European chivalry." DR NICOLAOS NICOLOUDIS, King’s College London "This masterpiece by Miltiades Varvounis not only brings to light a forgotten genius but also sheds light onto an important part of the long turbulent Turkish history." CUMA BARAK, University of Gaziantep "The author masterfully brings to light one of the most prominent personalities of the seventeenth century who was not only a great ruler and an astute military leader but who also changed the course of history by saving Europe from the Islamic onslaught." LITHUANIAN HERITAGE magazine "A fascinating, thorough and very much needed biography of a leader whose name is virtually unknown outside of Eastern Europe. Varvounis describes Sobieski with just the right dose of historical detail and imagination - this is a work of history that reads like a work of fiction." EWA BRONOWICZ, The Post Eagle

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the legacies and depictions of monarchs in an international context, focusing on both self-representation and commemoration by others. Spanning ancient India through to eighteenth-century Russia, this volume offers several case studies to demonstrate trends and patterns in how different societies chose to commemorate and remember their rulers in a variety of mediums. Contributions highlight several lesser known rulers, alongside more famous ones such as Henry VIII of England, to develop a deeper understanding of how memory and monarchy functioned when drawn together. Memorialising Premodern Monarchs brings to the fore the importance of memory and memorialisation when considering the legacies and records of past rulers and their societies, and allows a deeper reflection on how these rulers live on through the historical record and popular culture.

This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original research in this book analyzes the artistic activity of Santi Gucci (1533– c.1600), a Florentine sculptor active in Poland in the second half of the sixteenth century, and his workshop. Chapters examine the organization of the artistic workshop (sculpting and masonry) and the model of the artist’s functioning as an entrepreneur in Renaissance Poland, using Santi Gucci’s activity as an example. Gucci shaped the image of Polish sculpture in the sixteenth century for more than 50 years, even though his work has not yet been fully examined. The author sets Gucci’s emigration within the context of the cultural exchanges between Italy and Poland that contributed to the development of the Polish Renaissance. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, architectural history and economic history.

Book excerpt: Przez prawie dwadzieścia lat nauczałem historii w szkołach, głównie liceach. Przez cały ten okres śledziłem rozwój tej nauki, poznawałem nowe, dotyczące kolejnych zagadnień, prace. Dopiero jednak pisząc tę książkę dostrzegłem jak wielką potęgą jest Internet. To dzięki niemu zyskujemy znacznie szybszy niż wcześniej dostęp do najnowszych badań, to na jego forach miliony ludzi dokonuje analizy poprzednich badań, pojawiają się nowe hipotezy. Dziś napisanie dziejów świata możliwe jest właściwie tylko przez wieloosobowe zespoły, specjalistów od różnych epok i regionów. Taką świadomość miał zresztą już w latach dwudziestych XX wieku Herbert George Wells, który i swoje "Dzieje…" chciał pisać wspólnie z ówczesnymi historykami brytyjskich uczelni i dopiero nie mogąc nakłonić ich do współpracy sam napisał to dzieło. Praca ta zajęła mu niewiele ponad rok. Cóż, wiedza historyczna wówczas była znacznie mniejsza, m.in. i z tego powodu dzieło Wellsa, jest niestety bardzo powierzchowne. Mógłbym jak Wells, choć bardziej skutecznie, podjąć się próby realizacji tego projektu tworząc szerszy zespół, odrzuciłem jednak ten pomysł. Mówiąc szczerze, po prostu nie stać mnie na taką inicjatywę, a od czasów Wellsa podobne zadanie podjęły już różne ośrodki badawcze i tworzenie kolejnej tego typu pracy mijałoby się z celem[1]. Uznałem, bowiem, że tylko całościowe spojrzenie na dzieje przez jedną osobę umożliwia znalezienie w nich pewnych trendów. W poniższej książce omawiam zaledwie początki naszej historii. Tę, my historycy ograniczamy do czasów od powstania pisma. To dość sztuczna cezura, z czasem rozwoju historii – jako nauki – wciąż zresztą przesuwana, gdyż ślady pisma, jego początków, odnajdywane są dla okresów nawet o kilka tysiącleci wcześniejszych. Warto tu jednak o niej przypomnieć, tym bardziej, że to pismo stało się tym czynnikiem, który znacząco przyczynił się do zachowania naszej pamięci, a co za tym idzie do rozwoju cywilizacji. Prezentowana książka jest dopiero drugą z zamierzonego przeze mnie projektu napisania dziejów świata. Obejmuje prawie dwa tysiąclecia, od początku III tysiąclecia p.n.e. do końca II tysiąclecia p.n.e., jeszcze w tym półroczu wydam trzecią z tego cyklu obejmującą okres nieco krótszy, bo tylko około ośmiu wieków pierwszego tysiąclecia p.n.e. poświeconą początkom idei imperializmu. Kryterium jakim kierowałem się wybierając takie cezury są formy organizacyjne przyjmowane przez społeczeństwa w tych latach. Poniższy poświęciłem początkom państwowości. Zamierzałem w prezentowanych tomach (również w pierwszym tomie z tego cyklu w ”Narodzinach cywilizacji”) ukazać rozwój cywilizacji, w tym również idei, a za jedne z ważniejszych wśród nich uważam formy organizacji państw, ale też idee wolności, równości i własności. Nie wiem, czy mi się to udało? Zresztą dopiero kończę trzy pierwsze tomy. Wyrażam w nich wiele nowych hipotez, próbuję znaleźć w omawianych dziejach jakiś kierunek, zbudować jakąś historiozofię. Efekt moich przemyśleń będą mogli Państwo ocenić sami po lekturze tych książek. Cztery następne są jeszcze na etapie bardzo wstępnym (książkę pt. „Stracony czas imperiów” wydam pod koniec drugiego półrocza tego roku), ale już dziś mogę stwierdzić, że pewne założenia historiozoficzne, które wyraziłem już w „Narodzinach cywilizacji”, okazały się zasadne. Praktycznie do dziś nie dokonałem w nich istotnych zmian.
