hermann balck hitler

Though less famous than Rommel or von Manstein, Hermann Balck was considered by peers and enemies to be among the most talented German commanders of the Second World War. He was a veteran of the First World War, in which he served as a junior officer on the Western, Eastern, Italian and Balkan fronts and was wounded seven times. In 1940 he led the successful crossing of the River Meuse with dramatic consequences. Balck led from the front in the new and very dynamic and aggressive command style of Auftragstaktik- continuously touring forward HQs to brief officers personally, regardless of personal risk. He refused two offers to join the General Staff preferring to remain in combat roles. Balck was a pivotal moving force behind the growth of the Panzer forces. In 1942 he commanded a depleted division against massive odds, virtually destroying Soviet 5th Tank Army. He was rewarded with the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds (one of only 27 recipients) He briefly commanded Grossdeutschland Panzergrenadier Division and suggested Hitler was wrong in how the Waffen-SS was constructed. Philip Kay-Bujak argues that, had Hitler ignored Balck s criticisms of the Waffen-SS and promoted him Field Marshal, Balck might have changed the course of the war on the Eastern Front. It was also Balck that nearly defeated the Americans at Salerno in 1943. Commanding Army Group G, in 1944 he came up against General Patton but could not halt his advance in Alsace. First sacked then reinstated by Hitler, he fought on until surrendering to US forces on 8 May 1944 to avoid capture by the Soviets. Post-war, as a convicted war criminal, Balck chose obscurity and refused to take part in US interviews but by the 1980 s he changed his mind on both and advised NATO on how to win a land war against Russia - his tactics are still relevant today.

Žádný německý autor 20. století nenadchl více čtenářů než Hermann Hesse. Jeho dílo je součástí světové literatury. Renomovaný novinář Heimo Schwilk napsal skvělý životopis básníka, který žil stejně intenzivně a rozporuplně jako hrdinové jeho románů. Kniha o propastech rozervané osobnosti, o krizích a triumfech, o lásce a jejím selhání. Hermann Hesse zemřel 9. srpna 1962 ve věku 85 let. Zanechal dílo čítající bezmála 40 titulů vydávaných po celém světě v úctyhodných 125 miliónech exemplářů. Jen v zemích německé jazykové oblasti se prodalo téměř 25 miliónů jeho knih. Dosud byla publikována přibližně sedmina z jeho 35 000 dopisů. Hesseho recenze obsahují pět svazků, sekundární literatura k jeho životu a dílu plní celé regály. Od jeho smrti byly vydány nesčetné svazky s materiály k jeho tvorbě. Navzdory této široké bázi pramenů překvapuje základní tón utvářených soudů, který se v posledních desetiletích téměř nezměnil. Kdo se Hermannem Hessem zabývá, narazí záhy na celou řadu klišé, kterými se lidé pokouší vysvětlit iritující, ba přímo nesmírný úspěch tohoto autora. Hesse je podle těchto soudů básník mládeže a protestu, buřič proti jakékoli autoritě a zastánce maximálního individualismu. Jeho fenomenální úspěch v USA v období války ve Viet­namu se přičítá hluboce pacifistickému charakteru jeho humanis­mu inspirovaného Dálným východem. Masové rozšíření jeho knih v Japonsku, Číně a Koreji se vysvětluje jeho funkcí prostředníka mezi kulturami. V Německu je vnímán na jedné straně jako ostýchavý, schizoidní out­sider (Stepní vlk), na druhé straně jako osvícený kritik ,černé pedagogiky‘ (Pod koly). Pomáhají však taková klišé fenomén Hesse opravdu pochopit? Je jeho komplexní, fascinující dílo skutečně výrazem veskrze anarchistické povahy? Je načase ukázat, co je vlastně na Hermannu Hessem tak fascinující.

Winner of the Wolfson Prize for History, Ian Kershaw s Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis is the concluding second volume of one of the greatest biographies of modern times. No figure in twentieth century history more clearly demands a close biographical understanding than Adolf Hitler; and no period is more important than the Second World War. Beginning with Hitler s startling European successes in the aftermath of the Rhineland occupation, from Czechoslovakia to Poland; addressing crucial questions about the unique nature of Nazi radicalism; exploring the Holocaust and the poisoned European world that allowed Hitler to operate so effectively; and ending nine years later with the suicide in the Berlin bunker, Kershaw allows us as never before to understand Hitler s motivation and impact. Magisterial ... anyone who wishes to understand the third reich must read Kershaw, for no on has done more to lay bare Hitler s morbid psyche Niall Ferguson, Sunday Telegraph An achievement of the very highest order ... a marvellous book Michael Burleigh, Financial Times No previous biographer has examined Hitler s devilishness in Kershaw s detail ... his book is so comprehensive, so richly documented and so judicious that it will not soon be superseded Daniel Johnson, Daily Telegraph Ian Kershaw s other books include Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis, Making Friends with Hitler, Fateful Choices: Ten Decisions that Changed the World 1940-4 and The End: Hitler s Germany, 1944-45.

Listed as one of the Guardian s 100 Best Nonfiction Books of All Time. In September 1945 the fate of Adolf Hitler was a complete mystery. He had simply disappeared, and had been missing for four months. Hugh Trevor-Roper, an intelligence officer, was given the task of solving the mystery. His brilliant piece of detective work not only proved finally that Hitler had killed himself in Berlin, but also produced one of the most fascinating history books ever written. The Last Days of Hitler tells the extraordinary story of those last days of the Thousand Year Reich in the Berlin Bunker. Besieged in the shattered capital, but still dominating the remains of his court, Hitler reiterated the original alternative of Nazism: either total victory or annihilation. This book is the record of that carefully prepared, ceremonious finale to a terrible chapter of history. Brilliantly written and researched, The Last Days of Hitler remains the most vivid account of the final Wagnerian chapter of Hitler s tyranny â “ Max Hastings This is an incomparable book, by far the best written on any aspect of the second German war: a book sound in scholarship, brilliant in its presentation . . . No words of praise are too strong. â “ A. J. P. Taylor, New Statesman

Hermann Göring je spojován především se skutky a zločiny, které spáchal v letech 1933-1945 jako jeden z nejvyšších představitelů třetí říše, avšak jeho činnost za první světové války byla přehlížena. Americký historik Peter Kilduff vytvořil zásadní dílo založené na intenzivním výzkumu Göringových raných vojenských záznamů, včetně jeho vlastních bojových hlášení, souvisejících písemností a tisíců německých a dohodových dokumentů. Jeho kniha je proto důkladnou studií, která Göringa přibližuje jako vojenského letce a velitele během první světové války a uvádí zkušenosti formující osobnost muže, jenž si získal světovou pozornost v následující válce. Na začátku války se Göring horlivě snažil prokázat svoji hodnotu vlasti v úvodních střetnutích s francouzskými vojáky. Když byl v září 1914 postižen vážnou revmatoidní artritidou, hořel 21letý důstojník ambicemi, a nedokázal si připustit, že by byl odstaven na vedlejší kolej. Další měsíc zahájil svoji novou kariéru jako letecký pozorovatel. Následně se stal stíhacím pilotem, který si na své konto připsal 22 uznaných vítězství nad nepřátelskými letadly, a byl posledním válečným velitelem stíhací eskadry Rudého barona, Jagdgeschwader Freiherr von Richthofen Nr. I, a nositelem prestižních vyznamenání, včetně nejvyššího pruského/německého řádu za statečnost, Pour le Mérite. Knihu doplňuje 75 kreseb a fotografi í, včetně těch ze soukromé Göringovy sbírky, které nebyly nikdy předtím publikovány. Hermann Göring: Stíhací eso první světové války je skutečným mistrovským dílem, které čtenáře provede ranou vojenskou kariérou jednoho z nejvíce neblaze proslulých lidí 20. století.

In 1930, as a young woman, Christa Schroeder became a stenographer for the Nazi party, before being noticed by Hitler who, in 1933, hired her as his private secretary. Schroeder remained by Hitler⠙s side, fiercely loyal, for twelve years, living at the Wolfsschanze and even joining him and his staff in the Führerbunker in Berlin in January 1945. In 1945, interned in the Augsburg camp, Christa Schroeder was interrogated by French liaison officer Albert Zoller who asked her to recount her years spent with the Führer. Schroeder⠙s testimony, published here in the form of interviews with Zollers, gives an intimate, astonishing and incredibly detailed insight into the private life and personality of Adolf Hitler throughout the 1930s and 1940s. An exceptional testimony, Twelve Years With Hitler is an essential source document on Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. Translated into English here for the first time, Albert Zoller⠙s interviews with Christa Schroeder are guaranteed to shock and fascinate any military history enthusiast. Albert Zoller was a French liaison officer who interviewed Adolf Hitler s private secretary Christa Schroeder while she was in detention in the Augsburg camp, Germany, in 1945.

At the beginning of 1940 Germany was at the pinnacle of its power. By May 1945 Hitler was dead and Germany had suffered a disastrous defeat.Hitler had failed to achieve his aim of making Germany a super power and had left her people to cope with the endless shame of the Holocaust. In The Hitler Years: Disaster 1940-1945, Professor Frank McDonough charts the dramatic change of fortune for the Third Reich, and challenges long-held accounts of the Holocaust and Germany s ultimate defeat. Despite Hitler s grand ambitions and the successful early stages of the Third Reich s advances into Europe, Frank McDonough argues that Germany was only ever a middle-ranking power and never truly stood a chance against the combined forces of the Allies.

A timely, riveting book that presents for the first time an alternative history of 1930s Britain, revealing how prominent fascist sympathizers nearly succeeded in overturning British democracy—using the past as a road map to navigate the complexities of today’s turn toward authoritarianism.Hitler’s Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism nearly took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details the pervasiveness of Nazi sympathies among the British aristocracy, as significant factions of the upper class methodically pursued an actively pro-German agenda. She reveals how these aristocrats formed a murky Fifth Column to Nazi Germany, which depended on the complacence and complicity of the English to topple its proud and long-standing democratic tradition—and very nearly succeeded.As she highlights the parallels to our similarly treacherous time, Young exposes the involvement of secret organizations like the Right Club, which counted the Duke of Wellington among its influential members; the Cliveden Set, which ran a shadow foreign policy in support of Hitler; and the shocking four-year affair between socialite Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler.Eye-opening and instructive, Hitler’s Girl re-evaluates 1930s England to help us understand our own vulnerabilities and poses urgent questions we must face to protect our freedom. At what point does complacency become complicity, posing real risk to the democratic norms that we take for granted? Will democracy again succeed—and will it require a similarly cataclysmic event like World War II to ensure its survival? Will we, in our own defining moment, stand up for democratic values—or will we succumb to political extremism?

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HOLOCAUST AND THE NAZI MIND You have to read it Volodymyr Zelensky Laurence Rees brilliantly combines powerful eye-witness testimony, vivid narrative and compelling analysis in this superb account Professor Sir Ian Kershaw In this fascinating study of two monsters, Rees is extraordinarily perceptive and original Antony BeevorTwo tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history.Hitler s charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin s regimented rule by fear; and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin s change in behaviour in response to events. But as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler s case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.Using previously unpublished, startling eyewitness testimony from soldiers, civilians and those who knew both men personally, Laurence Rees - probably the only person alive who has met Germans who worked for Hitler and Russians who worked for Stalin - challenges long-held popular misconceptions about two of the most important figures in history. This is a master work from one of our finest historians.

Meticulous... Probably the most disturbing portrait of Hitler I have ever read Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times By the summer of 1939 Hitler was at the zenith of his power. Yet despite initial triumphs in the early stages of war, the Fuhrer s fortunes would turn dramatically as the conflict raged on. Realising that victory was lost, and with Soviet troops closing in on his Berlin bunker, Hitler committed suicide in April 1945; one week later, Nazi Germany surrendered. His murderous ambitions had not only annihilated his own country, but had cost the lives of millions across Europe. In the final volume of this landmark biography, Volker Ullrich argues that the very qualities - and the defects - that accounted for Hitler s popularity and rise to power were what brought about his ruin. A keen strategist and meticulous military commander, he was also a deeply insecure gambler who could be shaken by the smallest setback, and was quick to blame subordinates for his own disastrous mistakes. Drawing on a wealth of new sources and scholarship, this is the definitive portrait of the man who dragged the world into chaos.

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLERA History Today Best Book of the Year 2025⠘Elegantly written and powerfully argued ⠦ it ranks among the best works on this terrible period⠙ Sunday TimesA biographical study of Hitler s inner circle offers a new way to understand the horrors of the Nazi regimeWhy did so many Germans take part in the crimes of Nazi Germany? How did they come to support Hitler and follow him almost to the very end? For too long, the Nazis have been presented as little more than psychopaths or criminals. In his major new work, renowned historian Richard J. Evans makes use of a mass of recently unearthed new evidence to strip away the veneer of myth and legend from the faces of the Third Reich and present a more realistic view of Nazi perpetrators as human beings who were disturbingly like us. Evans offers rounded, fresh and often startling new portraits of the men and women who created and served Nazi Germany, beginning with Hitler himself and going on to encompass leading figures like Göring, Goebbels and Himmler, enforcers of Hitler⠙s orders such as Eichmann and Heydrich, propagandists like Leni Riefenstahl, low-level perpetrators such as the notorious Irma Grese and unknown sympathizers and fellow-travellers who helped the regime in myriad ways. Hitler⠙s People is a chilling, brilliantly written work which allows the reader to understand the texture and values of the Third Reich and just how far individuals will go when so many normal moral constraints have disappeared.

George Ward Price rose to prominence as the leading journalist in the 1930s, thanks to a string of world exclusives on Nazi Germany. He spent an hour alone with Hitler and Göring after the remilitarisation of the Rhineland, stood next to Hitler as he addressed a crowd on the night of the invasion of Austria, and joined him for afternoon tea at the Eagle⠙s Nest following his historic first meeting with Neville Chamberlain.These stories made Ward Price world famous, but he often seemed uncomfortable in the glare of the spotlight, hiding his true self behind a carefully cultivated veneer of suave and easy-going charm. It meant that he left unanswered questions: what drove his all-consuming ambition? Was his success down to journalist brilliance, or was there something more sinister that lay behind it? And were there any lengths to which he would not go to make sure that, as one of his colleagues put it, he ⠘always got his story⠙?Interviewing Hitler is the first book to explore the real Ward Price and the truth behind his reporting on the Nazis. It is a journey that takes us through a series of century-shaping events and deep into the dark heart of British journalism. As well as being one of the most controversial figures in newspaper history, Ward Price⠙s career serves as a warning for today⠙s world of disinformation and fake news.

The Hitler Youth was founded in 1922 as the youth organisation of the German Nazi Party in Germany. After Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, the organisation gained importance as a route to indoctrinating German youth with the ideals espoused by the Nazis. As war approached it became partially a paramilitary organisation and as war broke out and Germany came under greater pressure, many very young boys saw military action, fighting and dying for the country. Featuring contemporary photographs, The Hitler Youth tells the story of the origins of the movement in more innocent aims, and how its aims morphed over time to become a powerful way to disseminate Nazi ideas to an undiscerning audience.

On 7 November 1938, an impoverished seventeen-year-old Polish Jew living in Paris, obsessed with Nazi persecution of his family in Germany, brooding on revenge - and his own insignificance - bought a handgun, carried it on the Metro to the German Embassy in Paris and, never before having fired a weapon, shot down the first German diplomat he saw. When the official died two days later, Hitler and Goebbels used the event as their pretext for the state-sponsored wave of anti-Semitic violence and terror known as Kristallnacht, the pogrom that was the initiating event of the Holocaust.Overnight this obscure young man, Herschel Grynszpan, found himself world-famous, his face on front pages everywhere, and a pawn in the machinations of power. Instead of being executed, he found himself a privileged prisoner of the Gestapo while Hitler and Goebbels prepared a show-trial. The trial, planned to the last detail, was intended to prove that the Jews had started the Second World War. Alone in his cell, Herschel soon grasped how the Nazis planned to use him, and set out to wage a battle of wits against Hitler and Goebbels, knowing perfectly well that if he succeeded in stopping the trial, he would certainly be murdered. Until very recently, what really happened has remained hazy. Hitlerâ ™s Scapegoat, based on the most recent research - including access to a heretofore untapped archive compiled by a Nuremberg rapporteur - tells Herschelâ ™s extraordinary story in full for the first time.

Who were the German scientists who worked on atomic bombs during World War II for Hitler s regime? How did they justify themselves afterwards? Examining the global influence of the German uranium project and postwar reactions to the scientists involved, Mark Walker explores the narratives surrounding Hitler s bomb . The global impacts of this project were cataclysmic. Credible reports of German developments spurred the American Manhattan Project, the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and in turn the Soviet efforts. After the war these scientists work was overshadowed by the twin shocks of Auschwitz and Hiroshima. Hitler s Atomic Bomb sheds light on the postwar criticism and subsequent rehabilitation of the German scientists, including the controversial legend of Werner Heisenberg and Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker s visit to occupied Copenhagen in 1941. This scientifically accurate but non-technical history examines the impact of German efforts to harness nuclear fission, and the surrounding debates and legends.

As the war progressed Hitler did not need obedient bureaucrats like Keitel, failures like Paulus and was paranoid about having military leaders who were loyal. The three field marshals in this book were amongst the best. Field Marshal Kesselring gained a reputation in Italy as an expert in defence, and his Allied code name was The Emperor. Kesselring was diplomatic, charming, known as Smiling Albert, but convicted as a war criminal which may not have happened had it not been for the bitter partisan war. Field Marshal Rommel is surrounded by myths which need disentangling. He possessed exceptional qualities of command and leadership, with personal courage and determination, but had problems caused by two major reasons. The first was his relentless ambition, which prevented him from self-criticism and self-evaluation. The second was his meteoric rise in command, and like many other commanders driven by ambition. Field Marshal Model when on the battlefield led his men so well it is surprising that little is known of him. He fought defensive battles in a way hardly matched by any other German general. He had the immense capability of keeping his nerve, but his skills as a commander, were not matched by the sort of personality which may have given him a similar status as with Rommel, and not helped by challenging Hitler. Model had a reputation of being so tough even Hitler claimed he would not want to serve under him, he was known as the Frontschwein (front-line pig).

Why were the United States and its Western Allies so lenient after the most atrocious war of all times? Out of Hitler s Shadow answers this question, and considers why the Allies concluded that imposing unrealistic financial conditions on a defeated country would do more harm than good.The destruction left by Nazi Germany was horrendous. The occupied countries had been ravaged and plundered, millions of people murdered, cities laid in ashes. There was every reason to make the defeated Germans pay for Hitler s debt as The New York Times called the gigantic damage inflicted. But whereas the Soviet Union punished East Germany, the Western Allies, at the London Debt Conference (1952) decided to forgo all war-related debts. The Federal Republic of Germany - the Western successor state of Nazi Germany - had to settle no more than half of all outstanding debts stemming from pre-war obligations and post-war assistance. Only Israel and private Jewish organisations received reparations from the Federal Republic, but it was a modest amount.Why were the United States and its Western Allies so lenient after the most atrocious war of all times? Out of Hitler s Shadow answers this question, and considers why the Allies concluded that imposing unrealistic financial conditions on a defeated country would do more harm than good.These actions challenged widely held notions of justice. People who had suffered most from the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany were not compensated. The deal was unfair in many ways, but diplomats and politicians had to make hard choices. Five statesmen were particularly bold: U.S. Secretary of State Acheson, German Chancellor Adenauer, French Foreign Minister Schuman as well as Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion and Foreign Minister Sharett. Tobias Straumann explains why the personalities involved deserve to be remembered for their strategic clarity in the face of enormous resistance.

Bestselling historian Frank McDonough tackles the subject in the same way as his brilliantly reviewed and bestselling titles in this series. The penultimate title in the Hitler s Germany series, the book marks the end of the Second World War, and the end of the Nazi regime, offering the reader a sweeping narrative tackling the major characters, significant events of this horrific period of Nazi doctrine formed in their early years of the 1920s, that would evolve into full-blown genocide of a race of people by the end of World War Two.The Hitler Years: Holocaust 1933â “1945 describes in detail the development of early persecution formulated by Adolf Hitler from as far back as the early 1920s, placing in context what was to come once the Nazi Party gained power in 1933; the Nuremberg Laws to constrain the German-Jewish population. It covers the countryâ ™s slow slide into a pre-war policy of intimidation that would culminate in the murderous attacks on â ˜Kristallnachtâ ™ (the â ˜Night of Broken Glassâ ™). As Europe marched into another global conflict in 1939, tens of thousands of German Jews had fled the country only to be swept up as Hitlerâ ™s armies conquered all Western Europe. With the invasion of the Soviet Union, the secret meeting in early 1942 (the Wannsee Conference) would utilise the war in the east to plan in intricate detail the annihilation of the Jewish population on the continent â “ known to all now as the â ˜Final Solutionâ ™.The fully illustrated book draws together and engages with the latest scholarly research, makes extensive use of primary research, presenting a vivid and shocking narrative. A tragic and deadly period in German and European history is brought to life by one of the countryâ ™s premier scholars.

Kniha - autor Laurence Rees, 528 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Two tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years' work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history. Hitler's charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin's regimented rule by fear, and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin's change in behaviour in response to events. But as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler's case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.

Před sto sedmdesáti lety, v roce 1850, vydal Jan Evangelista Purkyně (1787-1869) anonymní komentář k tehdy, stejně jako dnes, široce rozebíraným názorům o tom, zda je Země bytost, zda má svého vlastního ducha a jak probíhala evoluce. Této dlouhé nedokončené eseji dal romantický název Útržky ze zápisníku zemřelého přírodovědce. Ve filosofickém vyznání a syntéze životních názorů nejvýznamnějšího českého přírodovědce jeho doby můžeme spatřovat klasické dílo české literatury poloviny 19. století, které však mělo historickou smůlu v tom, že vyšlo anonymně, německy a daleko od Prahy. Lze ho číst jako pohled na evoluci před Darwinem i jako naturfilosofický a poetický doplněk díla K. H. Máchy či B. Němcové, se kterými souzní. Ve středoevropském prostoru mají zápisky zemřelého přírodovědce podobné postavení jako v anglosaském světě esej Edgara A. Poea o hmotném a duchovním vesmíru Eureka. Purkyňův spis je tak součástí úvah, jakými se Evropa i Amerika zabývaly kolem bouřlivého roku 1848, aby v proudu změn pochopily své místo. Tato kniha v novém, upraveném vydání přináší komentovaný úplný překlad Purkyňova klasického textu a sborník statí, který uspořádali Tomáš Hermann a Václav Cílek. Filosofující přírodovědci a historici vědy zde z různých stran přibližují Purkyňův text, ať z hlediska souvislostí doby jeho vzniku, dějin jeho působení nebo inspirací pro dobu naši. Svazek tak představuje svérázný příspěvek k dějinám vědy, české a evropské kultuře 19. století i problémům vztahu vědy, kultury, života a umění

Publikace Plánování socialistické vědy přináší rozsáhlou historickou studii a ucelenou edici dokumentu o československé vědě v období tzv. budování socialismu. Jedná se o archivně dochovaný soubor čtyř plánovacích studií k rozvoji biologických, chemických, technických a matematicko-fyzikálních věd, které byly v březnu 1960 jako neveřejný (tj. přísně tajný) materiál předloženy k projednání Ideologickému oddělení ÚV KSČ. Tyto dokumenty jednak hodnotily dosavadní vývoj a aktuální stav přírodních a technických věd v Československu, především však analyzovaly jejich další perspektivy, včetně vytyčení hlavních úkolů a návrhů opatření pro následující patnácti až dvacetileté období. Ačkoliv ve výsledné podobě nebyly tyto plánovací studie oficiálně přijaty, podávají díky svému komplexnímu přístupu zajímavé svědectví o postojích a strategiích tvůrců socialistické vědní politiky. Představují proto významný pramen pro studium dějin československé vědy ve druhé polovině 20. století. Kolektivní studie - jejímiž autory jsou historici vědy D. Olšáková, H. Durnová, T. Hermann, M. Hořejš a A. Míšková - zasazuje vydané dokumenty do širších souvislostí problematiky plánování vědy a zároveň nastiňuje situace jednotlivých vědních oblastí. Vykládá je na pozadí proměn dobové vědní politiky, vývoje centralizace a plánování ve vědě, sovětizace československé vědy či vztahu vědy a ideologie. Zabývá se rovněž autorstvím dokumentů a v neposlední řadě též samotným rozvojem či konceptuálními proměnami uvnitř jednotlivých vědních disciplín v 50. a 60. letech minulého století.

Do pěti oddílů členěná publikace s množstvím obrazových příloh pojednává v nebývalém rozsahu o staletém stavebním vývoji Bertramky, který začal pouhou boudou na vinici.Pražská pěvkyně Josefa Dušková ji 1783 koupila už jako patrovou letní rezidenci s představeným schodištěm, jakož i se stájemi pro hospodářský dobytek. V 19. století v ní na základě zcela ahistorických představ došlo ke zřízení dvou Mozartových pokojů . K navýšení stavby došlo po požáru původní šindelové střechy 1872 a další přestavby byly uskutečněny za 2. světové války, když se protektorátní úřady rozhodly proměnit Bertramhof” v doklad toho, jak silně byl prostor Čech a Moravy ovládán německým duchem .K těmto zásahům objevil potřebnou dokumentaci až v červnu 2018 německý muzikolog prof. M. H. Schmid v pozůstalosti múzického přítele svého otce, architekta Georga Buchnera (1890-1971). Jedná se o dobrou stovku kreseb a stavebních plánů Bertramky z let 1925 a 1941/1942, dochovaných v Muzeu architektury Technické univerzity v Mnichově, Buchner je vytvořil v rámci svého projektu Mozartova a Beethovenova místa v Salcburku, v Praze a Vídni. Spolu s M. Jonášovou z ÚDU AV ČR rozvinul Schmid výzkumný projekt, jehož výstupem se staly - ve spolupráci s Mozartovou obcí v ČR - výstava a jednodenní mezinárodní vědecká konference ve vile Bertramka a všechny tyto aktivity shrnující předkládaná publikace.The publication deals with the small Bertramka estate in the Smíchov district of Prague, highly regarded as an important Mozart memorial site in Prague, and with the long history of its construction. The oldest historical record is of a hut in a vineyard, which during the course of the centuries was gradually transformed into a summer residence. In 1783 it was purchased by the singer Josefa Dušková. In the 19th century, two rooms where the composer was supposed to have stayed were furnished as Mozart rooms”, but this was on the basis of quite mistaken ideas which did not correspond to the historical facts. A major reconstruction was undertaken after the destruction of the original shingle roof in a fire in 1872. Further extensive building alterations took place during the Second World War, when the Reichsprotektor s Office decided to make use of the 150th anniversary of the death of the great German genius Mozart”, which occurred in 1941, to demonstrate how strongly the region of Bohemia and Moravia was dominated by the German spirit”. Evidence of the difficulties involved in opening an exhibition in the Bertramhof” on the eve of the anniversary of the world premiere of Don Giovanni (which took place in Prague) on 27 October 1941, has been provided by a newly discovered contemporary film report on the reconstruction of the Bertramka”. For a long time, virtually no documentation of the building work that took place at that time was known to have existed. It was not until June 2018 that the leading German musicologist Prof Dr Manfred Hermann Schmid (University of Tübingen) made a very valuable discovery, thanks to studying the correspondence between his father, also a musicologist, and the latter s fellow musician in an amateur quartet, the professor of architecture in Munich Georg Buchner. In the material left by Buchner on his death, preserved in the Museum of Architecture of the Technical University in Munich, Schmid discovered more than 100 hitherto unknown drawings and building plans of the Bertramka from 1925 and 1941/1942. The music lover Buchner created them as part of his long-term project Mozart and Beethoven Sites in Salzburg, Prague, and Vienna, in which he also involved his architecture students. On the basis of this discovery, Schmid launched a research project in cooperation with Milada Jonášová from the Institute of Art History, Czech Academy of Sciences, which was supported by a Strategy AV21 grant. The outcomes of the project were an exhibition held in the Bertramka villa in cooperation with the Mozart Society in the Czech Republic, and a

Německý šlechtic Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871), proslul jako vynikající zahradní architekt a světoběžník (své cesty po Evropě, Africe i Asii vylíčil v řadě cestopisů, v nichž vystupuje pod pseudonymem Semilasso). Když jej jeho nákladné záliby přivedly na mizinu, vydal se na britské ostrovy, aby tam hledal bohatou dědičku. Dopisy, které psal své bývalé ženě Lucii (plán na rozvod a bohatou nevěstu z ciziny, která zachrání rodinné panství, pocházel ostatně z její hlavy), vyšly souborně pod názvem Briefe eines Verstorbenen (Dopisy zesnulého) v letech 1830-1831. Barvité popisy (Walesu, Anglie, Irska a Francie či Německa a Nizozemska z pera proslulého bohéma a floutka měly nečekaný a senzační úspěch. Dílo, které Pücklerova žena mezitím nechala anonymně vydat, autorovi, přestože se vrátil domů nejen bez nevěsty, ale i bez haléře, přineslo částečné finanční zajištění a zároveň se - dle literárního historika Güntera J. Vaupela - staly nejčtenější německy psanou knihou 19. století. Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky.

A modernist work of profound wisdom that continues to enthral readers with its subtle blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, the Penguin Modern Classics edition of Hermann Hesse s Steppenwolf is revised by Walter Sorell from the original translation by Basil Creighton.At first sight Harry Haller seems a respectable, educated man. In reality he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters - accompanied by, among others, Mozart, Goethe and the bewitching Hermione - the misanthropic Haller discovers a higher truth, and the possibility of happiness. This blistering portrayal of a man who feels himself to be half-human and half-wolf was the bible of the 1960s counterculture, capturing the mood of a disaffected generation, and remains a haunting story of estrangement and redemption.Herman Hesse (1877 - 1962) suffered from depression and weathered series of personal crises which led him to undergo psychoanalysis with J. B. Lang; a process which resulted in Demian (1919), a novel whose main character is torn between the orderliness of bourgeois existence and the turbulent and enticing world of sensual experience. This dichotomy is prominent in Hesse s subsequent novels, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), Narcissus and Goldmund (1930) and his magnum opus, The Glass Bead Game (1943). Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.If you enjoyed Steppenwolf, you might like Hesse s Siddhartha, also available in Penguin Classics.

What does it mean to live a life of completeness? And how far must one go to understand the pain of others? Is change truly possible? This is the story that proves that it is. In what could be described as equal parts self-help book and a novelistic guide to spiritual awakening, Siddhartha has been hailed as prolific and unlike any other. Growing up, Siddhartha never experienced true pain.He was sheltered, as many are, turning a blind eye when the hardships of daily life made itself visible to the peasantry around him. Awakening from a hazy reverie that has shielded Siddhartha from the inevitable, he vows to make a change. With the hope of finding a deeper and resounding life s purpose, Siddhartha, a young man living in the ancient Indian kingdom of Kapilavastu, embarks on a journey of self-discovery and actualization.Accompanied by his best friend Govinda, the pair abandon the comfort of their old life by trading their material possessions for what they hope will be eternal enlightenment. Ridding themselves completely of the comforts of their previous life, the duo vow to a life of attempted purity. In a world where suffering is inevitable, Siddhartha hopes that by experiencing the pain so many face, only then will he find the true meaning of life.Siddhartha, written by German author Hermann Hesse in 1951, is a tale of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. The novel as a whole explores the totality of the human experience, of what it means to abandon the parameters of comfort and routine in search for a higher calling.
