Download or read book Heavenly Serbia written by Branimir Anzulovic and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1999-03 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As violence and turmoil continue to define the former Yugoslavia, basic questions remain unanswered: What are the forces behind the Serbian expansionist drive that has brought death and destruction to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo? How did the Serbs rationalize, and rally support for, this genocidal activity? Heavenly Serbia traces Serbia's nationalist and expansionist impulses to the legendary battle of Kosovo in 1389. Anzulovic shows how the myth of "Heavenly Serbia" developed to help the Serbs endure foreign domination, explaining their military defeat and the loss of their medieval state by emphasizing their own moral superiority over military victory. Heavenly Serbia shows how this myth resulted in an aggressive nationalist ideology which has triumphed in the late twentieth century and marginalized those Serbs who strive for the establishment of a civil society. "Modern Serbian nationalism...and its contradictory connections...have been sources of considerable scholarly interest...Branimir Anzulovic's compendium is a good example of the genre, made all the more useful by Anzulovic's excellent command of the literature." --Ivo Banac, History of Religions Author interview with CNN: http: //www.cnn.com/chat/transcripts/branimir_chat.html

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Accepting the Christian faith, Vladimir knew that he accepts the most difficult of the three faiths offered to him. Chroniclers report that he questioned for a long time before he decided. He knew that the Christian faith means the way of the Cross and that the way of the Cross means, first of all, to put an end to his bad past, to the rags of old habits, to his old soul. And he knew that it would not be enough just to pull ropes from the Kiev hill of Perun and drown him in the Dnieper, but that he himself and every subject would have to throw all idols out of his soul. But Slavic idols - alas! - like any idols, they were dreamed up by earthly gods, the greatest insignificance under the loudest names, stupid and dumb agents of the earthly kingdom, tied human souls to the earth, promising only the earthly kingdom, earthly deceptive happiness, which no one had ever seen. Slavic idolatry, centered in Kiev, made the Slavs the wildest people of Europe. What Vladimir was in the pagans, such were the Russian Slavs: a gloomy horde of robbers, robbers, gluttons, drunkards, destroyers who burned widows alive, who sacrificed slain babies to their idols. It was fear and awe for cultural peoples, especially for the most cultural of them - Byzantium. The greatest pleasure for the Slavs was the destruction of what they did not create, and the robbery of what they did not earn. What power under the sun could create a people from this gloomy horde, tame it, regenerate, transform, resurrect and give it a holy soul instead of a beast soul? The only power of the faith of Christ could accomplish this unearthly miracle with the Russians. She [faith] made Vladimir the Lamb from Vladimir the Wolf. A recent trickster, Vladimir dismissed his harem and began to live chastely. Vladimir - a glutton and a drunkard began to fast, and to fast to exhaustion, - he, laughing at the Islam faith, when he heard that it forbids pork and wine! Vladimir the bloodsucker began to go around hospitals and prisons, giving alms and comfort. Vladimir, a night player and a merry fellow, began to spend nights in tearful prayers, in kneeling and bowing, in meditation on the judgment of God and his soul. Vladimir the shameless became more bashful than the girl. Vladimir the executioner turned into a meek, repentant and gracious Samaritan. In a word, Vladimir the idolater was transformed into a Christian saint. As if on a certain wall the image of a demon was erased and they wrote an angel! A much greater miracle than a butterfly emerging from a caterpillar!
Download or read book Balkan Idols written by Vjekoslav Perica and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-11 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reporting from the heartland of Yugoslavia in the 1970s, Washington Post correspondent Dusko Doder described "a landscape of Gothic spires, Islamic mosques, and Byzantine domes." A quarter century later, this landscape lay in ruins. In addition to claiming tens of thousands of lives, the former Yugoslavia's four wars ravaged over a thousand religious buildings, many purposefully destroyed by Serbs, Albanians, and Croats alike, providing an apt architectural metaphor for the region's recent history. Rarely has the human impulse toward monocausality--the need for a single explanation--been in greater evidence than in Western attempts to make sense of the country's bloody dissolution. From Robert Kaplan's controversial Balkan Ghosts, which identified entrenched ethnic hatreds as the driving force behind Yugoslavia's demise to NATO's dogged pursuit and arrest of Slobodan Milosevic, the quest for easy answers has frequently served to obscure the Balkans' complex history. Perhaps most surprisingly, no book has focused explicitly on the role religion has played in the conflicts that continue to torment southeastern Europe. Based on a wide range of South Slav sources and previously unpublished, often confidential documents from communist state archives, as well as on the author's own on-the-ground experience, Balkan Idols explores the political role and influence of Serbian Orthodox, Croatian Catholic, and Yugoslav Muslim religious organizations over the course of the last century. Vjekoslav Perica emphatically rejects the notion that a "clash of civilizations" has played a central role in fomenting aggression. He finds no compelling evidence of an upsurge in religious fervor among the general population. Rather, he concludes, the primary religious players in the conflicts have been activist clergy. This activism, Perica argues, allowed the clergy to assume political power without the accountablity faced by democratically-elected officials. What emerges from Perica's account is a deeply nuanced understanding of the history and troubled future of one of Europes most volatile regions.

Book excerpt: This new, thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt's Serbia remains the most acclaimed guide available to a country which in recent years has welcomed an increasing number of foreign tourists to discover its attractive rolling countryside, lively cities, excellent food and friendly people. Development of tourism infrastructure continues apace in Serbia and this new edition reflects all the changes and trends of recent years, including Belgrade's increasing popularity as a weekend break destination, the continued evolution and rising quality of accommodation across all price brackets in both the capital and beyond, the development of Belgrade's Savamala riverfront area, the rise in popularity of bird-watching holidays, the possibilities for wine tours, and the increase in visitors to the EXIT festival held annually in Novi Sad and to the Guca trumpet festival in central Serbia. Particularly notable since the previous edition is Serbia's dramatic improvement in English-language facilities for visitors, with many towns and cities now having tourist information centres with helpful staff, all of which are detailed in this guide. Written by an expert author, the Bradt guide to Serbia offers up-to-date background information on the country's geography, history, economy, politics and people, as well as a strong emphasis on culture and the arts - music, literature, cinema and art - and on natural history, including a thorough overview of Serbia's best wildlife sites. Comprehensive and up-to-date listings of the best places to stay and eat according to budget are covered, along with reliable public transport information to enable you to travel independently with confidence. This guide recommends facilities and places of interest that will hold appeal for all types of visitor - from impecunious young travellers seeking a fun-filled city break to older visitors who prefer a slower pace and wish to immerse themselves in local tradition. Despite burgeoning interest, Serbia remains one of the least known corners of Europe. Belgrade and second city Novi Sad are lively, cosmopolitan and welcoming, while rural Serbia, with its hidden monasteries and gorgeous countryside, is an undiscovered gem. With the Bradt guide you will be able to discover all this intriguing country has to offer.

Download or read book Montenegro written by Kenneth Morrison and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 2006, following a closely and bitterly fought referendum, Montenegro finally regained the status of an independent nation that it had lost in 1918 - the most recent chapter in a highly turbulent history. The tiny Balkan republica??s declaration of independence from Serbia represented - barring the final resolution of Kosovoa??s status - the final stage in the disintegration of what was once Yugoslavia. But how did the Balkans forge this tiny republic? What sets it apart from the other dominant powers in the region? And what will be its future role on the worlda??s stage? 'Montenegro: A Modern History' charts the countrya??s contemporary history in accessible and comprehensive form. Kenneth Morrison explores the forces that have shaped the republic of Montenegro and questions where this will lead in the future, examining the fundamental issues of Montenegrin identity and statehood in a wider European as well as a Balkan context. This full and authoritative modern history is essential reading for everyone interested in the political and social dynamics of one of Europea??s youngest states.
