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
Download or read book Charles de Gaulle written by Andrew Knapp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new biography, Andrew Knapp concisely dissects each of the major controversies surrounding General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French during the Second World War and President of France from 1959 to 1969. From the beginning of de Gaulle’s military career in 1909 to an analysis of legacies and myths after his death in 1970, this study examines the path by which the French came to honour him as the greatest Frenchman of all time, and as the twentieth century’s pre-eminent world statesman. In each chapter, Knapp analyses de Gaulle’s participation in key events such as the development of France’s resistance against Nazi Germany, the decolonisation of Algeria, the birth of the French Fifth Republic, and the gigantic upheaval of May 1968. Simultaneously, this study questions de Gaulle’s actions and motives throughout his life. By exploring the justification of the contemporary ‘de Gaulle myth’, Knapp concludes by shedding new light on the influence of de Gaulle in the political culture of twenty-first-century France. Through careful analysis of primary sources as well as recent scholarship, this biography is an invaluable source for scholars and students of modern history, the history of France, political institutions, and international relations.
Download or read book Francs et Orientaux dans le monde des croisades written by Jean Richard and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This latest volume by Jean Richard is concerned with the evolution of the crusading movement and with the interaction between crusaders and indigenous peoples of the Near East. The articles look at changes in the concept of crusading, means of financing it, and forms of indulgence; at how the adoption of maritime transport created a need to control the sea, and how contacts with the Muslims could lead to peaceful means of resolving conflict and dealing with prisoners. In their lands in the east, the Latins accommodated the feudal structures they brought with them to local conditions, especially in the mountains. Both in this and in the religious sphere compromises were made, and in this co-existence each community preserved its individuality. The final section then considers roles played by eastern Christians in the contacts between Europeans and Mongols. Si les origines de la croisade retiennent l'attention, son évolution mérite elle aussi intérêt. La conception de la croisade, les modalités du financement, la forme d'indulgence, se sont modifiées; l'adoption du transport par bateau a nécessité la prise du contrôle de la mer. Les affrontements avec les Musulmans ont provoqueé des contacts, ainsi pour règler le sort des prisonniers; on a cheché des solutions pacifiques au conflit. Dans leurs possessions orientales, les Francs ont adapté le régime seigneurial aux conditions locales et, tout en gardant intacte leur structure féodale, réservé, surtout dans les montagnes, leur place aux chefs indigènes, Les contacts de civilisation sont réels, mais chaque communauté garde some individualité. Il en est de même dans le domaine religieux, où il a fallu adopter des compromis pout permettre une réelle coexistence. Et finalement les chrétiens orientaux ont été les agents du rapprochement entre Francs and Mongols.

Download or read book Principles of Stellar Dynamics written by S. Chandrasekhar and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2005-05-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this classic text, a Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist presents the theory of stellar dynamics as a branch of classical dynamics--a discipline in the same general category as celestial mechanics. His method offers the advantages of clarifying the theory's fundamental issues and defining its underlying motivations. S. Chandrasekhar investigates two areas. The first concerns problems in which the time of relaxation of a stellar system is central. His method consists of analyzing the effects of stellar encounters in terms of the two-body problem of classical dynamics and applying this theory to the dynamics of star clusters. The second area investigates problems centering around Liouville's theorem and the solutions of the equation of continuity; here, the author discusses the dynamic implications of the existence of a field of differential motions, which appears to be the most striking kinematic feature of the galaxy and the extragalactic systems. This edition includes two papers by the author that were published after Principles of Stellar Dynamics and that have been studied and quoted extensively: "New Methods in Stellar Dynamics" (originally published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences) and "Dynamical Friction" (originally published in The Astrophysical Journal).

Download or read book Genre Beyond Borders written by Bruno Bower and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an innovative approach to understanding operetta, drawing attention to its malleability and resistance to boundaries. These shows have traversed (and continue to traverse) with ease the national borders which might superficially define them, or draw on features from many other genres without fundamentally changing in tone or approach. The chapters move from nineteenth-century London and Paris to twentieth-century North America, South America and Europe to present-day Australia. Some offer fresh understandings of familiar composers, such as Johann Strauss or Gilbert and Sullivan, while others examine works or composers that are less well-known. The chapter on Socialist operetta in Czechoslovakia in particular will almost certainly be a revelation to anyone from Western Europe or the US, where operetta is often understood to be a bourgeois phenomenon. As a summary of the current state of the field, this collection showcases the many possible pathways for future scholars who wish to explore it.

This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on key moments in the intellectual history of the West This book forms a major contribution to the discussion on fate, providence and moral responsibility in Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Early Modern times. Through 37 original papers, renowned scholars from many different countries, as well as a number of young and promising researchers, write the history of the philosophical problems of freedom and determinism since its origins in pre-socratic philosophy up to the seventeenth century. The main focus points are classic Antiquity (Plato and Aristotle), the Neoplatonic synthesis of late Antiquity (Plotinus, Proclus, Simplicius), and thirteenth-century scholasticism (Thomas Aquinas, Henry of Ghent). They do not only represent key moments in the intellectual history of the West, but are also the central figures and periods to which Carlos Steel, the dedicatary of this volume, has devoted his philosophical career.
