intent to destroy eugene finkel

A history of Russian violence waged against Ukraine across the centuries.Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. And yet this attack was in fact the latest episode in a centuries-long Russian campaign. In Intent to Destroy, leading scholar of genocide and Eastern Europe Eugene Finkel uncovers the deep roots of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Ever since the rise of Russian nationalism in the nineteenth century, the domination of this key borderland has become a cornerstone of Russian and Soviet policy. Using genocidal tactics - killings, deportations, starvation and cultural destruction - against ethnic Ukrainians and minorities including Tatars, Jews and Poles, Russia's long-standing policy has aimed to obliterate Ukrainian identity. This eradication has consistently been a part of the Kremlin playbook and leads inexorably to the violence we see today.Told with the astonishing power of Finkel's connection to this living history, and the authority of two decades of research, Intent to Destroy casts today's war it its broadest historical context, illuminating as never before Europe's bloodiest conflict since World War II.

The past is another country, the old saying goes. The same might be said of the future. But which country? For Europeans and Americans today, the answer is Russia. Today's Russia is an oligarchy propped up by illusions and falsities. But it also represents the fulfilment of tendencies already present in the West. And if Moscow's drive to dissolve Western states and values succeeds, this could become our reality too. In this visionary work of contemporary history, Timothy Snyder shows how Russia works within the West to destroy the West; by supporting the far right in Europe, invading Ukraine in 2014, and waging a cyberwar during the 2016 presidential campaign and the EU referendum. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the creation of Donald Trump, an American failure deployed as a Russian weapon. But this threat presents an opportunity to better understand the pillars of our freedoms, confront our own complacency and seek renewal. History never ends, and this new challenge forces us to face the choices that will determine the future: equality or oligarchy, individualism or totalitarianism, truth or lies. The Road to Unfreedom helps us to see our world as if for the first time. It is necessary reading for any citizen of a democracy.

An energetic new translation of an ancient Roman masterpiece about a failed coup led by a corrupt and charismatic politicianIn 63 BC, frustrated by his failure to be elected leader of the Roman Republic, the aristocrat Catiline tried to topple its elected government. Backed by corrupt elites and poor, alienated Romans, he fled Rome while his associates plotted to burn the city and murder its leading politicians. The attempted coup culminated with the unmasking of the conspirators in the Senate, a stormy debate that led to their execution, and the defeat of Catiline and his legions in battle. In How to Stop a Conspiracy, Josiah Osgood presents a brisk, modern new translation of the definitive account of these events, Sallust’s The War with Catiline—a brief, powerful book that has influenced how generations of readers, including America’s founders, have thought about coups and political conspiracies. In a taut, jaw-dropping narrative, Sallust pleasurably combines juicy details about Catiline and his louche associates with highly quotable moral judgments and a wrenching description of the widespread social misery they exploited. Along the way, we get unforgettable portraits of the bitter and haunted Catiline, who was sympathetic to the plight of Romans yet willing to destroy Rome; his archenemy Cicero, who thwarts the conspiracy; and Julius Caesar, who defends the conspirators and is accused of being one of them. Complete with an introduction that discusses how The War with Catiline has shaped and continues to shape our understanding of how republics live and die, and featuring the original Latin on facing pages, this volume makes Sallust’s gripping history more accessible than ever before.

''A startling novel of ferocious psychological acumen, which, to my mind, deserves a large, international readership... very much a book for our times'' Siri Hustvedt, from the introduction''A literary giant in Sweden, Dagerman conjures a Strindbergian atmosphere of shadowy menace in his brief, intense novel, A Moth to a Flame... This moody, death-haunted novel is well worth reading'' Evening StandardIn 1940s Stockholm, a young man named Bengt falls into deep, private turmoil with the unexpected death of his mother. As he struggles to cope with her loss, his despair slowly transforms to rage when he discovers that his father had a mistress. Bengt swears revenge on behalf of his mother''s memory, but he soon finds himself drawn into a fevered and forbidden affair with the very woman he set out to destroy . . .Written in a taut, restrained style, A Moth to a Flame is an intense exploration of heartache and fury, desperation and illicit passion. Set against a backdrop of the moody streets of Stockholm and the Hitchcockian shadows in the woods and waters of Sweden''s remote islands, this is a psychological masterpiece by one of Sweden''s greatest writers.''Dagerman wrote with beautiful objectivity.

Úvahy o zlu a rozmanitosti jeho forem a projevů, kritika církve, která institucí ďábla vytváří v lidech pocity strachu a zajišťuje si tak jejich poslušnost. Strach je podle Drewermanna každému jedinci vštěpován na samém počátku jeho individuálního života. Je to strach z porušení desatera a jeho výkladů, strach z toho, že člověk bude vyloučen z komunity a bude muset žít sám. Církvi se podařilo vytvořit obecně platnou konvenci, že ďábel je analogií zla, čemuž je potřeba se vyhnout, obávat se, mít strach. V souladu s automatickým přijetím této teorie pak atmosféru strachu jako jistého výchovného rituálu lze snadno obecně zneužívat, což v důsledku může vést k různým neurotickým a psychotickým onemocněním, upozorňuje Drewermann a odkazuje na svou praxi psychoterapeuta. Teolog, psycholog, filosof a spisovatel Eugen Drewermann v knize (text je koncipovan jako rozhovor novináře J. D. Kogela s Drewermannem) rozvíjí také své úvahy o lidské agresi, zoufalství a víře, odpuštění a negaci, nahodilosti a hledání ospravedlnění v existenci, o biologii, sociální psychologii a psychoanalýze, o teologické nauce o prvotním hříchu a vykoupení, o církevní hrozbě pekla a křesťanské naději v nebe. Eugen Drewermann byl profesorem katolické dogmatické teologie v Paderbornu. Roku 1991 mu pro jeho nekonformní názory na morální teologii a biblistiku bylo místním arcibiskupem odňato povolení vyučovat a roku 1992 i povolení kázat. V tomtéž roce byl pak i suspendován z kněžského úřadu. Roku 2005 Drewermann oznámil, že vystupuje z katolické církve. Drewermann je v Německu považován za jednoho z významných myslitelů a nemnoha zbývajících univerzálních vzdělanců.

Proč jednomu klientovi psychoterapie nepomůže, zatímco jiný z ní má velký prospěch? Právě tak se od roku 1953 ptal Rogersův žák Eugen Gendlin, který na Chicagské univerzitě celých 15 let na tuto otázku hledal odpověď. Podle Gendlina záleží na tom, jestli klient dokáže zastavit tok myšlení a naladit se na své nitro – na jemné procesy na pomezí těla a mysli. Měřítko pro to, co je pro klienta dobré a smysluplné, se nachází v tzv. pociťovaném smyslu: Klient sleduje své tělesné prožitky a ty zachycuje prostřednictvím slov, obrazů či gest. To jej samo o sobě uvolní a zároveň mu to poskytne materiál, který může zakomponovat do kontextu svého života a provést žádoucí změny. Tato jednoduchá metoda je dnes užívána v psychoterapii a arteterapii, ale může ji v rámci vlastního rozvoje provádět kdokoli, kdo chce zlepšit například vlastní kreativitu, schopnost introspekce a rozhodování. Prakticky zaměřená kniha vás provede procesem focusingu v jeho jednotlivých krocích a připraví vás na typické obtíže, s nimiž se při této metodě můžete setkat. Eugene T. Gendlin (1926–2017) se narodil ve Vídni do židovské rodiny, která před druhou světovou válkou odešla do USA. Získal doktorát z filozofie na Chicagské univerzitě, kde v letech 1964–1995 vyučoval. Více ale proslul jako žák Carla Rogerse, významný badatel v oblasti prožitkové psychoterapie a tvůrce focusingu, za což byl oceněn například Americkou psychologickou asociací.

The inspiration behind the HBO series THE PACIFICThis was a brutish, primitive hatred, as characteristic of the horror of war in the Pacific as the palm trees and the islands...Landing on the beach at Peleliu in 1944 as a twenty-year-old new recruit to the US Marines, Eugene Sledge can only try desperately to survive. At Peleliu and Okinawa - two of the fiercest and filthiest Pacific battles of WWII - he witnesses the dehumanising brutality displayed by both sides and the animal hatred that each soldier has for his enemy.During temporary lapses in the fighting, conditions on the islands mean that the Marines often can''t wash, stay dry, dig latrines, or even find time to eat. Suffering from constant fear, fatigue, and filth, the struggle of simply living in a combat zone is utterly debilitating.Yet despite horrendous conditions Sledge finds time to keep notes that he would later turn into a book. Described as one of the finest memoirs to emerge from any war, With the Old Breed tells with compassion and honesty of the cruelty, bravery and deaths of the men he fought alongside, and of his own journey from patriotic innocence to battle-scarred veteran.''Eugene Sledge became more than a legend with his memoir, With The Old Breed. He became a chronicler, a historian, a storyteller who turns the extremes of the war in the Pacific - the terror, the camaraderie, the banal and the extraordinary - into terms we mortals can grasp'' Tom Hanks

Šestatřicet minutových románů skládá dohromady román o autorově životě a díle i o jeho předchozím románu Nepředmětná odysea (2015). Postila, tedy výklad. Nikoli textu, ale světa. Skutečnost je Eugenem Brikciusem oslavována ve své plnosti, ale nedoslovována. Tajemství příčin nečekaných setkání i úžas před každodenním obnovováním významu zůstávají. Asi nejviditelnější linkou Postily je, že je vlastně románem o románu. Eugen Brikcius je laureátem Ceny Jaroslava Seiferta pro rok 2015.

A subversive and hilarious spin on the well-loved fairy tale.The three little wolves erect first a solid brick house. The big bad pig comes along and when huffing and puffing fails to work, he uses a sledgehammer to bring the house down. Next they build a home of concrete: The pig demolishes it with his pneumatic drill. The three little wolves choose an even stronger design next time round: They erect a house, made of steel, barbed wire, armor plates and video entry system, but the pig finds a way to demolish it too. It is only when the wolves construct a rather fragile house made of cherry blossoms, daffodils, pink roses, and marigolds that the pig has a change of heart …A great read for children who enjoyed The Wolf''s Story by Toby Forward. Kids aged 5 and up will enjoy this hilarious, subversive and brilliant read aloud picture book.

Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s imperial Russia, Pushkin''s novel in verse follows the emotions and destiny of three men - Onegin the bored fop, Lensky the minor elegiast, and a stylized Pushkin himself - and the fates and affections of three women - Tatyana the provincial beauty, her sister Olga, and Pushkin''s mercurial Muse. Engaging, full of suspense, and varied in tone, it also portrays a large cast of other characters and offers the reader many literary, philosophical, and autobiographical digressions, often in a highly satirical vein. Eugene Onegin was Pushkin''s own favourite work, and it shows him attempting to transform himself from a romantic poet into a realistic novelist. This new translation seeks to retain both the literal sense and the poetic music of the original, and capture the poem''s spontaneity and wit. The introduction examines several ways of reading the novel, and text is richly annotated. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

*FULLY UPDATED WITH A NEW FOREWORD*THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLERWINNER OF THE BRITISH ARMY MILITARY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016''Truly essential'' Simon Sebag MontefioreThe final destruction of the Ottoman Empire - one of the great epics of the First World War, from bestselling historian Eugene RoganFor some four centuries the Ottoman Empire had been one of the most powerful states in Europe as well as ruler of the Middle East. By 1914 it had been drastically weakened and circled by numerous predators waiting to finish it off. Following the Ottoman decision to join the First World War on the side of the Central Powers the British, French and Russians hatched a plan to finish the Ottomans off: an ambitious and unprecedented invasion of Gallipoli...Eugene Rogan''s remarkable book recreates one of the most important but poorly understood fronts of the First World War. Despite fighting back with great skill and ferocity against the Allied onslaught and humiliating the British both at Gallipoli and in Mesopotamia (Iraq), the Ottomans were ultimately defeated, clearing the way for the making, for better or worse, of a new Middle East which has endured to the present.

When the world-weary dandy Eugene Onegin moves from St Petersburg to take up residence in the country estate he has inherited, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with his neighbour, the poet Vladimir Lensky. Coldly rejecting the amorous advances of Tatyana and cynically courting her sister Olga – Lensky’s fiancée – Onegin finds himself dragged into a tragedy of his own making.Eugene Onegin – presented here in a sparkling translation by Roger Clarke, along with extensive notes and commentary – was the founding text of modern Russian literature, marking a clean break from the high-flown classical style of its predecessors and introducing the quintessentially Russian hero and heroine, which would remain the archetypes for novelists throughout the nineteenth century.

Ak je niekto zo Slovákov žijúci v cudzine dobre známy medzi krajanmi v Amerike, Kanade, Argentíne, Austrálii, v Nemecku a inde, tak je to bez pochyby Ignác Zelenka, básnickým pseudonymom Eugen Vesnin (1913 - 1983). Poznajú ho nielen Slováci, ale vďaka jeho vedeckému a básnickému dielu aj mnohí cudzinci. Jeho básne boli preložené do viacerých jazykov, pričom odborná kritika ich prijala pochvalne. Žiaľ, takmer neznámy alebo málo známy je doma, na Slovensku. A prečo? Všetky jeho diela vyšli v zahraničí a sú už len ťažko dostupné. Ako napísal autor František Michalovič (editor) "... táto kniha vychádza na počesť 100. výročia narodenia a 30. výročia smrti básnika, prekladateľa, redaktora a renomovaného knihovníka-bibliografa... Ako prvý pokus priblížiť Vesnina slovenskej verejnosti. Je to výber z jeho poézie, ktorý ho predstavuje ako básnika, ale najmä ako človeka... človeka, ktorý z tohto sveta odišiel ako muž bez občianstva, pretože česko-slovenského sa po vojne zriekol a o talianske, hoci žil na Apeninskom polostrove polstoročie, nikdy nepožiadal..."

Eugen Brikcius je literární gurmet: svůj memoár pojal jako pestrou koláž, jako žánrovou i stylistickou mozaiku, jako přirozenou syntézu bohatýrského těla s jasným a silným duchem. Jeho život je jeho dílem. Jeho dílo je jeho životem. Boří staré mýty, aby postavil na jejich místě mýtus nový - sebemýtus. A to s nezaměnitelným vtipem a hrou, noblesou i naléhavostí. Protože píše-li o sobě, píše vždycky i o druhých. Memoárová kniha básníka a filozofa, průkopníka českého happeningu, narozeného v roce 1942 v Praze a žijícího od počátku 80. let ve Vídni. V 60. letech aktivní výtvarný umělec, v 70. letech vězeň komunistického režimu a básník v novolatině, v 80. letech absolvent prestižní University College v Londýně a exulant, od počátku 90. let jedna z klíčových postav české kultury.

This remarkable book recreates one of the watershed moments in the history of the Middle East: the ferocious outbreaks of disorder across the Levant in 1860 which resulted in the massacre of thousands of Christians in Damascus. Eugene Rogan brilliantly recreates the lost world of the Middle East under Ottoman rule.The once mighty empire was under pressure from global economic change and European imperial expansion. Reforms in the mid-nineteenth century raised tensions across the empire, nowhere more so than in Damascus. A multifarious city linked by caravan trade to Baghdad, the Mediterranean and Mecca, the chaos of languages, customs and beliefs made Damascus a warily tolerant place.Until the reforms began to advantage the minority Christian community at the expense of the Muslim majority. But in 1860 people who had generally lived side by side for generations became bitter enemies as news of civil war in Mount Lebanon arrived in the city. Under the threat of a French expeditionary force, the Ottomans dealt with the disaster effectively and ruthlessly - but the old, generally quite tolerant Damascene world lay in ruins.It would take a quarter of a century to restore stability and prosperity to the Syrian capital. This is both an essential book for understanding the emergence of the modern Middle East from the destruction of the old Ottoman world, and a uniquely gripping story.

The path to achieving Zen (a balance between the body and the mind) is brilliantly explained by Professor Eugen Herrigel in this timeless account.This book is the result of the author’s six year quest to learn archery in the hands of Japanese Zen masters. It is an honest account of one man’s journey to complete abandonment of ‘the self’ and the Western principles that we use to define ourselves. Professor Herrigel imparts knowledge from his experiences and guides the reader through physical and spiritual lessons in a clear and insightful way. Mastering archery is not the key to achieving Zen, and this is not a practical guide to archery. It is more a guide to Zen principles and learning and perfect for practitioners and non-practitioners alike.

This book brings together a collection of essays written by scholars inspired by Eugene GendlinÂ’s work, particularly those interested in thinking with and beyond Gendlin for the sake of a global community facing significant crises. The contributors take inspiration from GendlinÂ’s philosophy of the implicit, and his theoretical approach to psychology. The essays engage with GendlinÂ’s ideas for our era, including critiques and corrections as well as extrapolations of his work. Gendlin himself worried that knowing about a problem is too often conflated with actions that might lead to change; the essays in this book point to a form of understanding that is activated, an embodied and immediate way of thinking about todayÂ’s problems. Throughout the volume, the contributors creatively engage with GendlinÂ’s work and its applicability to the complex, pressing crises of our time: the Covid-19 pandemic, environmental/climate issues, racism, sexism, economic inequality, and other factors threatening human persons and communities. GendlinÂ’s theoretical approach to psychology is naturally interdisciplinary, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in moving to the boundaries where psychology meets philosophy, theology, art, environmental studies, science, technology, and much more.
