Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bohemia: From the Earliest Times to the Fall of National Independence in 1620; With a Short Summary of Later Events Few countries have been more strangely misunderstood by the average Englishman than Bohemia has been. The mischievous blunder of some fifteenth century Frenchman, who confused the gipsies who had just arrived in France with the nation which was just then startling Europe by its resistance to the forces of the Empire, has left a deeper mark on the imagination of most of our countrymen than the martyrdom of Hus or even the sufferings of our own Princess Elizabeth. The word "Bohemian" has passed into newspaper slang; and it has been so often quoted in its slang sense by people who ought to be more careful in their language, that it has really hindered the study of the real country which it misrepresents. The few who care to hear anything more of a people so strangely slandered, have often been yet further blinded by their readiness to accept as absolute truth the prejudices of the German and Magyar opponents of the Bohemian national feeling.

Book Synopsis Bohemia's case for independence by : Edvard Beneš
Download or read book Bohemia's case for independence written by Edvard Beneš and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-07-20 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneš wrote his impassioned plea for independence in 1917, just before the end of the Great war. He was very fearful and pessimistic about his country's future, fully understanding the nature of the Magyars, Hapsburgs and Austrian people. He writes, "Dismember Austria-Hungary!" Remove from the Habsburgs the possibility of continuing to play their sinister part. Liberate the Austrian Slavs! Unite the Czecho-Slovaks and the Yugo-Slavs! Understand that after all it is in your interest, in the interest of Europe, and in the interest of humanity."

B., Before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representati written by Charles Pergler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bohemia's Claim to Independence: An Address Delivered by Charles Pergler, LL. B., Before the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives of the United States, on February 25th, 1916 In dealing with the question of the liberation of oppressed nationalities, and in preparing to take the initiative to achieve their liberation, the Congress of the United States is following the best American traditions and precedents. In 1849, while the Hungarian Revolution was still in progress, Mr. Clayton sent an emissary, Dudley A. Mann, with instructions to reeo-gmize the Hungarian republic in case it appeared to be firmly established. The Austrian government protested, and it became the lot of Daniel Webster to respond, and in December, 1850, this great American wrote a spirited reply, denying that the visit was an unfriendly act, and asserting the right of the American people to sympathize with the efforts of any nation to acquire liberty, Certainly the United States may be pardoned said Daniel Webster, even by those who profess adherence to the principles of absolute governments, if they entertain anardent affection for its popular forms of political organization which have so rapidly advanced their own prosperity, their happiness, and enabled them in so short a period to bring their country, and the hemisphere to which it belongs, to the notice and respectful regard, not to say the admiration, of the civilized world.

Download or read book Bohemia's Claim for Freedom (Classic Reprint) written by Jindich Procházka and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bohemia's Claim for Freedom T is to be feared that the average educated Englishman knows very little about Bohemia. Very likely he would never have known even that it has no sea-coast if Shakespeare had not inadvertently said that it bad. But the present war is teaching the English what their school masters, for some reason, have never taught them - a little history and geography. And the ancient though fallen kingdom of Bohemia, like the ancient though fallen kingdom of Poland, is likely to play a considerable part in the coming resurrection of the nations. Austria has been to Bohemia, as to Poland, an influence almost more unpardonable than that of the savages of Prussia, not because she did worse, but because she knew better. Austria built, and is still building, her power upon the ruin of Christian countries which have been her own bulwarks against the heathen. As she repaid the rescue by Sobiesky with annexation, and the Crusade of Servia with conspiracy, so she owed her possession of Bohemia to the Moslem victory at Mohacz. Austria has never grudged the blood of her neighbours in defence of her religion. But the Prussianised Austria of to-day is confronted in Bohemia and elsewhere with something which the Prussianised spirit can never understand - the te juvenation of defeat. An English neo-pagan poet said that only one god had ever died: but he might have added that only one has ever risen from the dead. This conception of the birth thatbegins in death is inconceivable to the northern barbarian; and the immortality of the martyred nations bewilders and confounds him. These small Christian States not only survive defeat, but celebrate defeat. They date from defeat; not, like the heathens ab urbe cozzdz'ta, but rather ab arbe capta. The Bohemian song and proverb says, More was lost on Mohacz's field, as the English (perhaps recalling their naval adven tures) say, \vorse things happen at sea. And a modern Servian sculptor is planning a colossal monument for the scene of the Servian ruin at Kosovo. The Prussians have no colossal monu ment upon the field of Jena.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Independent Bohemia an Account of the Czechoslovak Struggle for Liberty Events have moved rapidly in Austria, especially since the momentous British declaration of August 9, 1918, recognising the czecho-slovaks - those resident in the Allied countries as much as those in Bohemia as an Allied nation, and the czecho-slovak National Council - in Paris as well as in Prague - as the Provi sional Government of Bohemia. British statesmen already then foresaw the coming collapse of Austria and acted accordingly. It is also no more a secret to day that because of the promulgation of the British and United States declarations our Council was able to conclude special conventions with all the Allied Governments during September last, whereby all the powers exercised by a real government have been granted to it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Coast of Bohemia IN one of the old-fashioned books for children there was a story of the adventures of a cent (or perhaps that coin of older lineage, a penny) told by itself, which came into my mind when the publishers sug gested that the readers of a new edition of this book might like to know how it happened to be written. E promptly fancied the book speaking, and taking upon itself the burden of autobiography, which we none of us find very heavy; and no sooner had I done so than I began actually to hear from it in a narrative of much greater distinctness than I could have supplied for it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bohemia: A Brief Evaluation of Bohemia's Contribution to Civilization So with Bohemia. An independent and vigorous state in the middle ages, early in the sixteenth century the Kingdom of the Czechs unhappily chose the Hapsburg Duke of Austria as king. From that error came three great wrongs to Bohemia. The elective king made his rule that of a hereditary despotism. The overthrow of the Bohemian insurgents in the Thirty Years' War was followed by bloody reprisals. Many were put to death, others fled or were banished, lands were confiscated, and place and soil were given to Germans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bohemia Under Hapsburg Misrule: A Study of the Ideals and Aspirations of the Bohemian and Slovak Peoples, as They Relate to and Are Affected by the Great European War It has been intimated that the Allies might agree to create Bohemia and Hungary as independent buffer states to curb German aggression, just as Belgium and Holland are buffer states between Germany and France. If this war has shown any thing, it has demonstrated the usefulness of a small state like that of the Belgians. Albania, it will be recalled, had been brought into being by Austria and Italy, not for humanitarian reasons, we may be sure, but to menace and weaken Serbia, of whose growth they were jealous. Another probability is that Russia might de mand, as one of the prizes of war, the cession of the northern part of austria-hungary, which is wholly 'slavic. She might contend that she could not carry out her traditional policy of guardianship of the Slavs, unless her kinsfolk came under her influence, if not actually under her rule.

I have shown how the true satirist contributes his share to that, and how he may hope that his laughter will not die away along with the cachinnations of merry-andrews."

Book Synopsis Contemporary Bohemia: A Case Study of an Artistic Community in Philadelphia by : Geoffrey Moss
Download or read book Contemporary Bohemia: A Case Study of an Artistic Community in Philadelphia written by Geoffrey Moss and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an investigation and assessment of an artistic community that emerged within Philadelphia’s Fishtown and the nearby neighborhood of Kensington. The book starts out by examining historical and sociological work on bohemia, and then provides a detailed history of greater Philadelphia and the Fishtown/Kensington region. After analyzing the ways in which Fishtown/Kensington’s artistic community maintains continuity with bohemian tradition, it demonstrates that this community has decoupled traditional bohemian practices from their anti-bourgeois foundation. The book also demonstrates that this community helped generate and maintains overlapping membership with a larger community of hipsters. It concludes by defining the area's artistic community as an artistic bohemian lifestyle community, and argues that the artistic activities and cultural practices exhibited by the community are not unique, and have significant implications for urban artistic policy, and for post-industrial urban society.
