eBook: “I love Christmas, that Muslim holiday.”(K. Biebl) In 1926, the communist avant-garde poet Konstantin Biebl (1898–1951) travelled from Czechoslovakia to the Dutch East Indies. In his texts, poetic and often comic, both landlocked Bohemia and the colonized tropical islands are seen disorientingly anew, like “mirrors looking at themselves in each other.” On This Modern Highway, Lost in the Jungle takes the reader on a journey crisscrossing the poet’s life and work, with particular attention to his travel writing and his dreams and memories of travel, as they mirror the book author’s own life experience as a Czech scholar of Indonesia living in island Southeast Asia. Biebl’s poetry and travels are also the book’s point of departure for a broader exploration of the intersections of travel and poetry, the attitudes to colonial/social injustice, and the representation of otherness in Czech literary and visual imagination, beyond Biebl’s times. In its attention to how poetic travel reflects the Czech historical experience in the shadow of imperial nations, the book moves scholarly reflection on literary travel, modernity, and colonialism to a new ground. Jan Mrázek grew up in Czechoslovakia and lives on an island in the Malay Archipelago. He is Associate Professor in Southeast Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore and has published widely on Indonesia, seafaring, and Czech travel writing.

Ralph, Peterkin, and Jack, the three lads from his wildly popular 1858 novel The Coral Island, are the main characters of this sequel, which is set in "darkest Africa." The themes in the novel echo those of The Coral Island, where the lads attest to the benefits of missionary activity among the locals. A major theme of the book is the hunt for gorillas, an animal that was unknown to Westerners until recently but has since become crucial in discussions about evolution and the interactions between white Westerners and Africans. A slave trader is the focus of the second part of the book's plot, and the three hunters and their guide spend weeks pursuing him to stop him and his crew from occupying and enslaving Mbango's people. They are too late; Makarooroo's fiance is one of those who have been taken. The three plan the fortifications and successfully repel the trader when he attacks Jambai's settlement. The hunters rest for a few weeks in the village of a different tribe, which is governed by a Jambai family member.

eBook: Kniha pojednává o osudu řeckých mytologických námětů, postav božských i heroických, daleko na Východě, především v oblasti starověké Gandháry a Baktrie. V abecedně řazeném přehledu jsou zde pojednána jednotlivá základní ikonografická schémata, která si umění těchto oblastí vypůjčilo z helénistického Středomoří. Můžeme srovnat, jak se jednotlivá typická vyobrazení řeckých božstev v průběhu staletí měnila a přizpůsobovala vkusu i představám místního obyvatelstva. Vedle toho se řada původně řeckých mytologických postav i s jejich obvyklými atributy stala, jak je zde názorně ukázáno, základem pro zobrazení různých místních – íránských, indických i jiných – božstev.

eBook: Blízkovýchodní nestabilita se vnějškově manifestuje různými způsoby: krizí vládnoucích režimů, vzestupem politického islámu, terorismu, revolucí, občanských válek či rostoucí migrací a zhroucením řady států. Kniha nabízí výklad kořenů této nestability s pomocí teoreticky původní a empiricky podložené historicko-sociologické srovnávací analýzy. Zatímco ve výkladech vývoje post-koloniálního Blízkého východu dosud dominovaly dvě protichůdné teze – jde o region zaostalý, neměnný a rigidní, nebo naopak proměňující se až příliš rychle – kniha nabízí alternativní perspektivu vycházející z vysoce nerovnoměrného a nesynchronizovaného tempa změn v jednotlivých dimenzích blízkovýchodní modernizace. Dochází zde totiž k (1) rychlé socio-demografické změně (razantní růst populace a podílu mládeže, prudká urbanizace, expanze médií a vzdělanosti), (2) pomalejší, nestabilní a zaostávající změně ekonomické (závislost na exportu ropy, vysoká nezaměstnanost) a (3) pomalé až regresivní změně politické (eroze schopnosti států vládnout, absence demokratizace i liberalizace). Teoretický model studie je vybudován s pomocí kritického čtení teorií modernizace a koncepce rozmanitých modernit, která umožňuje zohlednit také širší kulturně-náboženský a mezinárodně-politický kontext blízkovýchodní nerovnoměrné modernizace. Teoretický model je poté empiricky testován s pomocí časových řad (1960-2010) několika desítek indikátorů, které pokrývají demografickou, sociální, ekonomickou i politickou dimenzi modernizačního procesu. To autorovi umožňuje provádět čtyři typy komparací míry nerovnoměrnosti blízkovýchodní post-koloniální modernizace: (1) blízkovýchodní modernizace a modernizace v dalších post-koloniálních makro-regionech, (2) nerovnoměrnosti jednotlivých fází samotné blízkovýchodní modernizace, (3) jednotlivých států uvnitř blízkovýchodního regionu s důrazem na vzájemné srovnání zemí arabských, (4) post-koloniální blízkovýchodní modernizace s ranou modernizací západoevropskou. Poslední krok analýz představuje přechod od makro-úrovně nerovnoměrné strukturální změny k mikro-úrovni sociálních a politických aktérů a jejich jednání. Jejím výsledkem je identifikace více než padesáti dílčích kauzálních mechanismů, které ve strukturálním rámci nerovnoměrné modernizace generují politickou nestabilitu. Celkově se kniha nesoustředí, jak je často zvykem, na vnějškově sledovatelné politické aktéry a jejich souboje. Nýbrž na pod povrchem politického soupeření probíhající hluboké a dlouhodobé kumulativní demografické, sociální a ekonomické změny. Na změny, které neprobíhají pouze v jednotlivých zemích Blízkého východu, nýbrž jdou od konce 2. světové války napříč celým regionem a dnes ve svém souhrnu dávají vzniknout zcela novému Blízkému východu než byl ten, na který jsme byli dlouhá desetiletí zvyklí.
