Book excerpt: Jest XXVI wiek. Dopięliśmy swego. My ludzie, pokonaliśmy śmierć. Najpierw nasi naukowcy dowiedli ponad wszelką wątpliwość, że życie ludzkie w formie biologicznej nie może być przedłużane bez końca. Zwłaszcza sprawności naszego biologicznego mózgu nie da się utrzymywać dłużej niż 160 lat. Nie zniechęciło to nas jednak do wysiłków dla potrzymania zjawiska naszej samoświadomości ponad ten okres. W wyniku intensywnych prac wielu pokoleń badaczy, nauczyliśmy się nieinwazyjnie skanować chemiczny obraz naszego mózgu, a następnie transponować go do zapisu cyfrowego. To był początek, zwiastujący nadchodzący sukces. Następnie w wyniku ciągle rosnących mocy obliczeniowych komputerów kwantowych, udało się napisać i uruchomić program, który odwzorowuje działanie ludzkiego mózgu. Zaczęliśmy uruchamiać w tym programie skany ludzkich umysłów po biologicznej śmierci ich właścicieli. Budziliśmy pierwsze „duchy”. Tak duchy, bo tak nazwaliśmy byty niematerialne, wykreowane w przestrzeni cybernetycznej. Obdarzyliśmy je awatarem o wyglądzie podobnym do swojej ludzkiej postaci. Środowisko zbliżone jest do ziemskiego, a awatar posiada komplet zmysłów żywego człowieka. Duch budząc się, zawiaduje wszystkimi informacjami zapisanymi w swoim ludzkim mózgu za czasów ziemskiego życia. Nadal świadomie celebruje swoje wzruszenia, uczucia i fascynacje, kontynuując je w środowisku cyberprzestrzeni. W ten sposób przechytrzyliśmy śmierć i po jej nadejściu rozpoczynamy nowe, nieśmiertelne życie w zasobach pamięci operacyjnych komputerów kwantowych. Wykreowaliśmy drugi, alternatywny świat, oczywiście zależny od tego pierwszego. Ludzie produkują i obsłu- gują wielkie serwerownie świata duchów. Nagrodą za to jest kontynuacja życia po śmierci w swoistym, doskonałym metawersum. W takim środowisku dzieją się burzliwe losy bohaterów, na razie dwóch opowiadań tej serii: Spisek Duchów i Zdrada Złych. Drugie z nich właśnie czytelniku trafia do twoich rąk. Choć opisuje odrębną historię, to również kontynuuje wątki. Dla pełnego zrozumienia treści, wskazane byłoby przeczytanie najpierw części pierwszej.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poignant story of Holocaust survivors who returned to their hometown in Poland and tried to pick up the pieces of a shattered world. In the immediate aftermath of World War II, the lives of Polish Jews were marked by violence and emigration. But some of those who had survived the Nazi genocide returned to their hometowns and tried to start their lives anew. Lukasz Krzyzanowski recounts the story of this largely forgotten group of Holocaust survivors. Focusing on Radom, an industrial city about sixty miles south of Warsaw, he tells the story of what happened throughout provincial Poland as returnees faced new struggles along with massive political, social, and legal change. Non-Jewish locals mostly viewed the survivors with contempt and hostility. Many Jews left immediately, escaping anti-Semitic violence inflicted by new communist authorities and ordinary Poles. Those who stayed created a small, isolated community. Amid the devastation of Poland, recurring violence, and bureaucratic hurdles, they tried to start over. They attempted to rebuild local Jewish life, recover their homes and workplaces, and reclaim property appropriated by non-Jewish Poles or the state. At times they turned on their own. Krzyzanowski recounts stories of Jewish gangs bent on depriving returnees of their prewar possessions and of survivors shunned for their wartime conduct. The experiences of returning Jews provide important insights into the dynamics of post-genocide recovery. Drawing on a rare collection of documents—including the postwar Radom Jewish Committee records, which were discovered by the secret police in 1974—Ghost Citizens is the moving story of Holocaust survivors and their struggle to restore their lives in a place that was no longer home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the conflicting aims and deeds of the Russian government and the Polish nationally-minded student youth in the situation which emerged after the closure of the universities in Warsaw and Wilno (Vilnius) in 1832. Thousands of Polish students studied in Russian universities, constituting a considerable portion of the student body. They formed conspiracies, student unions and study circles. Their relations with Russian students entailed both enmity and co-operation. The book analyzes the idea of what it meant to be a Polish student in Russia between 1832 and 1863, and reveals secret disagreements between government politicians concerning the Polish question at the universities.

Book excerpt: Rasmus Anderson (1846-1936), the American author, scholar, editor, businessman and diplomat, intertwines his life story with the cultural and institutional history of the Norwegian-American community as a whole. There are eyewitness accounts of tension within American factions and branches of the Lutheran church over such issues as slavery and public education as well as anecdotes about Ole Bull, Knut Hamsun, Björnstjerne Björnson, Robert La Follette, James G. Blaine and various European monarchs and heads of state. Anderson began his life on a farm in Albion, Dane County, Wisconsin. After many efforts to finance and obtain the kind of education he wanted, he pioneered the study and teaching of Scandinavian languages at the University of Wisconsin (1869-1883). Between 1885 and 1889, he served as U.S. minister to Denmark. He eventually prospered as president of the Wisconsin Life Insurance Co., from 1895-1922. In 1874, Anderson attracted widespread attention with his America Not Discovered By Columbus. He is remembered for his studies, translations, and retellings of Norse mythology. The more active and public aspects of his life are emphasized in this work.

Download or read book Conscious History written by Natalia Aleksiun and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-31 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly researched, this study highlights the historical scholarship that is one of the lasting legacies of interwar Polish Jewry and analyses its political and social context. As Jewish citizens struggled to assert their place in a newly independent Poland, a dedicated group of Jewish scholars fascinated by history devoted themselves to creating a sense of Polish Jewish belonging while also fighting for their rights as an ethnic minority. The political climate made it hard for these men and women to pursue an academic career; instead they had to continue their efforts to create and disseminate Polish Jewish history by teaching outside the university and publishing in scholarly and popular journals. By introducing the Jewish public to a pantheon of historical heroes to celebrate and anniversaries to commemorate, they sought to forge a community aware of its past, its cultural heritage, and its achievements---though no less important were their efforts to counter the increased hostility towards Jews in the public discourse of the day. In highlighting the role of public intellectuals and the social role of scholars and historical scholarship, this study adds a new dimension to the understanding of the Polish Jewish world in the interwar period.
Download or read book Caviar and Ashes written by Marci Shore and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 959 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""In the elegant capital city of Warsaw, the editor Mieczyslaw Grydzewski would come with his two dachshunds to a cafe called Ziemianska."" Thus begins the history of a generation of Polish literati born at the ""fin de siecle,"" They sat in Cafe Ziemianska and believed that the world moved on what they said there. ""Caviar and Ashes"" tells the story of the young avant-gardists of the early 1920s who became the radical Marxists of the late 1920s. They made the choice for Marxism before Stalinism, before socialist realism, before Marxism meant the imposition of Soviet communism in Poland. It ended tragically. Marci Shore begins with this generation's coming of age after the First World War and narrates a half-century-long journey through futurist manifestos and proletarian poetry, Stalinist terror and Nazi genocide, a journey from the literary cafes to the cells of prisons and the corridors of power. Using newly available archival materials from Poland and Russia, as well as from Ukraine and Israel, Shore explores what it meant to live Marxism as a European, an East European, and a Jewish intellectual in the twentieth century.
