Download or read book The Hot Summer Of 1968 written by Viliam Klimá?ek and published by . This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1968, the Czechoslovakian Communist Party experimented with "socialism with a human face"-known then as the "Prague Spring." Suddenly there were new important changes for the citizens of Czechoslovakia: freedom of the Press; an end to arbitrary wiretaps; and the right to travel without prior authorizations and visas. The borders opened to the West, consumer goods appeared in the stores, and the winds of freedom blew over the country. Then, in late August, Soviet tanks invaded Prague to put an end to this brief liberalization experiment.Viliam Klimá?ek's vivid novel describes the impact of Prague Spring and the Soviet Invasion on the everyday lives of twenty-five Czechoslovakian families. Retelling the stories of both Czech and Slovak diaspora, Klimá?ek reveals how these political events changed the lives and future of these families forever. After briefly enjoying new freedoms they were forced to flee their homeland. Some saw their families torn apart; others lost their possessions or were dispossessed. But they all ventured on perilous journeys seeking refuge and freedom in new countries; and, like all immigrants, they had to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. The experiences that the characters in this novel endure and overcome are continually being repeated for untold millions again and again as people around the world flee intolerance, war, climate change, and other disasters in our contemporary age. Constructing his stories on real testimonies, Klimá?ek's novel is a beautiful hymn to tolerance and the necessity of supporting marginalized people.
Download or read book One Hot Summer written by Rosemary Ashton and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique, in-depth view of Victorian London during the record-breaking summer of 1858, when residents both famous and now-forgotten endured “The Great Stink” together While 1858 in London may have been noteworthy for its broiling summer months and the related stench of the sewage-filled Thames River, the year is otherwise little remembered. And yet, historian Rosemary Ashton reveals in this compelling microhistory, 1858 was marked by significant, if unrecognized, turning points. For ordinary people, and also for the rich, famous, and powerful, the months from May to August turned out to be a summer of consequence. Ashton mines Victorian letters and gossip, diaries, court records, newspapers, and other contemporary sources to uncover historically crucial moments in the lives of three protagonists—Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, and Benjamin Disraeli. She also introduces others who gained renown in the headlines of the day, among them George Eliot, Karl Marx, William Thackeray, and Edward Bulwer Lytton. Ashton reveals invisible threads of connection among Londoners at every social level in 1858, bringing the celebrated city and its citizens vibrantly to life.

Download or read book The Long Hot Summer of 1967 written by M. McLaughlin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seemed at times during the 1960s that America was caught in an unending cycle of violence and disorder. Successive summers from 1964-1968 brought waves of urban unrest, street fighting, looting, and arson to black communities in cities from Florida to Wisconsin, Maryland to California. In some infamous cases like Watts (1965), Newark (1967), and Detroit (1967), the turmoil lasted for days on end and left devastation in its wake: entire city blocks were reduced to burnt-out ruins and scores of people were killed or injured mainly by police officers and National Guardsmen as they battled to regain control. This book takes the pivotal year of 1967 as its focus and sets it in the context of the long, hot summers to provide new insights into the meaning of the riots and their legacy. It offers important new findings based on extensive original archival research, including never-before-seen, formerly embargoed and classified government documents and newly released official audio recordings.
