Je pověřen pátráním po údajně živé navrátilkyni ze záhadně ztracené zámořské kolonie Roanoke, jejíž obyvatelé před lety beze stopy zmizeli. Když ho vzápětí další z mocných mužů království, člen korunní rady Cecil, požádá, aby nabídku na oko přijal a využil ji ke sledování Essexe, zjišťuje Shakespeare, že se ocitl v pasti podivných her, intrik a úkladů, v nichž jde o samotný trůn Anglie a z nichž není úniku.

The Cold War from the Margins - Theodora Dragostinova

In The Cold War from the Margins, Theodora K. Dragostinova reappraises the global 1970s from the perspective of a small socialist state—Bulgaria—and its cultural engagements with the Balkans, the West, and the Third World. During this anxious decade, Bulgaria's communist leadership invested heavily in cultural diplomacy to bolster its legitimacy at home and promote its agendas abroad. Bulgarians traveled the world to open museum exhibitions, show films, perform music, and showcase the cultural heritage and future aspirations of their "ancient yet modern" country. As Dragostinova shows, these encounters transcended the Cold War's bloc mentality: Bulgaria's relations with Greece and Austria warmed, émigrés once considered enemies were embraced, and new cultural ties were forged with India, Mexico, and Nigeria. Pursuing contact with the West and solidarity with the Global South boosted Bulgaria's authoritarian regime by securing new allies and unifying its population. Complicating familiar narratives of both the 1970s and late socialism, The Cold War from the Margins places the history of socialism in an international context and recovers alternative models of global interconnectivity along East-South lines. Thanks to generous funding from The Ohio State University Libraries and its participation in TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), the ebook editions of ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Válka za studena/Serving it cold - Vladimír Birgus, Josef Moucha

Poprvé knižně publikovaný soubor Válka za studena je podobenstvím o kroužení kolem jádra nicoty. Fotografie ze základní vojenské služby v Československé lidové armádě obnažují svět mužů zavlečených do pasti, jíž je hra na vojáky. Původní postřehy Josefa Mouchy působí s odstupem let jako přízračné schválnosti, inscenované s početným komparsem v nákladných kulisách. Ve skutečnosti jsou záběry z počátku osmdesátých let nepřikrášleně realistickým pohledem zevnitř. Autorem zasvěcené předmluvy je renomovaný fotograf a znalec historie fotografie Vladimír Birgus: "Právě komplexnost Mouchova fotografického deníku z vojny přispívá k tomu, že jeho fotografie vyvolávají u každého, kdo prožil základní vojenskou službu za vlády komunistů, celý gejzír vzpomínek," uvádí. "Je to mnohovrstevnatý pohled na vojenskou službu v době husákovské normalizace, jaký svou kvalitou, rozsahem a autentičností nemá na naší poválečné fotografické scéně obdoby. Dlouhým odstupem ještě vynikl jeho význam, protože není jenom fotografickým deníkem jednoho nedobrovolného vojáka, ale i zobecňujícím svědectvím o tehdejší době i o konfliktu mezi individualitou a totalitou." This is the first publication in book form of the photographic set Serving It Cold: Photographs from Basic Training in the Czechoslovak People's Army. It is a parable about whirling round a core of nothingness. The photographs reveal the world of men dragged into ... Unknown localization key: "more"
