Rome - Ferdinand Addis

The sweeping story of the city of Rome, told through twenty-two moments that shaped its history. ***A Times History Book of the Year*** ''Vivid, pacey... Superb'' The Times. ''Grand narrative underpinned by serious reading'' Guardian. ''Confident, elegant... Admirably ambitious'' Daily Mail. From Romulus and Remus to the films of Fellini, Rome has always exerted a hold on the world''s imagination. Now Ferdinand Addis brings the city of Rome to life by concentrating on vivid episodes from its long and unimaginably rich history. Each beautifully composed chapter is an evocative, self-contained narrative, whether it is the murder of Caesar; the near-destruction of the city by the Gauls in 387 BC; the construction of the Colosseum and the fate of the gladiators; Bernini''s creation of the Baroque masterpiece that is St Peter''s Basilica; the brutal crushing of republican dreams in 1849; the sinister degeneration of Mussolini''s first state, or the magical, corrupt Rome of Fellini''s La Dolce Vita. This is an epic, kaleidoscopic history of a city indelibly associated with republicanism and dictatorship, Christian orthodoxy and its rivals, high art and low life in all its forms.

Addis Ababa Noir

What marks life in Addis Ababa are the starkly different realities coexisting in one place. It’s a growing city taking shape beneath the fraught weight of history, myth, and memory. It is a heady mix. It can also be disorienting, and it is in this space that the stories of Addis Ababa Noir reside . . .These are not gentle stories. They cross into forbidden territories and traverse the damaged terrain of the human heart. The characters in these pages are complicated, worthy of our judgment as much as they somehow manage to elude it. The writers have each discovered their own ways to get us to lean in while forcing us to grit our teeth as we draw closer . . .Despite the varied and distinct voices in these pages, no single book can contain all of the wonderful, intriguing, vexing complexities of Addis Ababa. But what you will read are stories by some of Ethiopia’s most talented writers living in the country and abroad. Each of them considers the many ways that myth and truth and a country’s dark edges come together to create something wholly original—and unsettling.

The Porsche Tiger and Ferdinand Tank Destroyer - Michael Frohlich

A detailed, technical history of the WWII tank and tank destroyer designs of automotive icon Ferdinand Porsche. Ferdinand Porsche was an Austrian engineer born in 1875. In the interwar period, Ferdinand founded an automotive consultation firm, which gradually grew into today''s Porsche AG automotive company. Porsche''s firm was responsible for the design of the "Volkswagen," a simple model known today as the Beetle. During the Second World War, Porsche''s firm played an important role in designing military vehicles for the Wehrmacht. This work follows up on author Michael Fröhlich''s book on Porsche''s massive "Maus" tank and describes the firm''s other armored-vehicle designs, with special emphasis on the VK 4501 (P) Tiger prototype and the "Ferdinand" tank destroyer. VK 4501 was the designation for the prototypes competing to be what would become the Panzer VI "Tiger." Porsche''s concept used a novel gasoline/electric hybrid power plant, but the Tiger contract eventually went to Henschel. Through details on the Tiger trials at the Verskraft proving ground, readers will gain insight into the armament procurement process in the Third Reich. The hull/chassis design from VK 4501 (P) was later repurposed for a large tank destroyer named for the designer, "Ferdinand."

Vlastenci a hrdinovia - Ferdinand Vrábel

Kniha VLASTENCI A HRDINOVÉ uzavírá autorskou trilogii (SPLNĚNÝ SEN a ZÁPISKY LEGIONÁŘE) věnovanou dokumentování a historické analýze okolností a souvislostí vzniku Československa. Každá ze tří částí na základě studia primárních pramenů přinesla objevné pohledy na naše dějiny žité a tvořené před více než 100 lety. Předešlé slovenské politické režimy se snažili vymazat z paměti národa vzpomínku na československé legie - o to větší hodnotu má tento autorský počin. "Velmi mě těší, že tato výjimečná kniha vzešla z pera našeho bratra, člena Republikového výboru Československé obce legionářské, který celou svou dosavadní prací přispěl zásadním dílem k obnově a rozvoji legionářského odkazu na Slovensku a na mnoha projektech se podílel i v České republice. Nebudu jistě daleko od pravdy, pokud sdělím své přesvědčení, že bratr Ferdinand Vrábel mnoho poznatků i osobním prožitků načerpal právě skrze svou výraznou činnost v rámci Československé obce legionářské."

Pozdější život Panny - Antonín Přidal, Ferdinand Peroutka - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Co by se stalo s Janou z Arku, kdyby její život nebyl korunován mučednickou smrtí? Co se stane s člověkem, jenž ztratí zdroj i cíl svého poslání? I takové otázky položil ve své obšírné historické románové fikci Pozdější život Panny Ferdinand Peroutka (1895-1978).Do Janina příběhu člověka, jenž přežil svou dobu, vložil Ferdinand Peroutka mnoho ze své osobní situace; také on přežil svou dobu slávy a přízně, také on se musel vyrovnávat s faktem, že ideály první republiky, jimž oddaně sloužil a za něž vytrvale bojoval, ztratily do 60. let minulého století hodně ze svého lesku. Proto jedna z klíčových linií románu spočívá v postupném sbližování zprvu suverénního autora, s chutí manipulujícího s osudem své Johanky, s Johankou samotnou. Oba se nakonec mění v dva póly jednoho lidského osudu. A právě tuto linii s výhodou využil Antonín Přidal ve své dramatizaci díla Antonína Peroutky. Postava Autora to v jednom z dialogů s Johankou říká otevřeně: "Proč nepsat zas jednou, po dlouhé době, o velkých lidech? Dnes, kdy není v kurzu oběť? Ale když se tím podrobně zabýváš, přijdou pochybnosti, zda velcí lidé jsou. Dá mnoho námahy udržet člověka ve výši.

Ferdinand Staeger - Pavel Růt, Gustav Erhart, Ferdinand Staeger

Malíř a grafik Ferdinand Staeger se narodil roku 1880 v Třebíči. Studoval na Uměleckoprůmyslové škole v Praze u Jakuba Schikanedera. Byl členem Spolku německých výtvarných umělců v Čechách. Živil se jako kreslíř pro časopisy Švanda dudák a Zlatá Praha.V širší známost vešel svojí spoluprací s mnichovským časopisem časopis Jugend, představujícím nejvýznamnější platformu tehdejších uměleckých snah, jehož jméno inspirovalo dodnes užívaný termín Jugendstil, obdobu u nás užívaného názvu secese. Od roku 1908 žil s přestávkami ve Vídni, v Třebíči a Mnichově. Přestože byl vynikající malíř, prosadil se zejména jako grafik. Ilustroval řadu literárních děl, mimo jiné od Adalberta Stiftera, Josepha von Eichendorffa, Hanse Fraungrubera, Eduarda Mörikeho nebo Gerharta Hauptmanna. Staegerovy práce vynikají delikátní, jemně traktovanou kresbou s až minuciózními prvky, upomínajícími spíše na atmosféru biedermeieru. Druhá polovina dvacátých let minulého století představuje pozvolný útlum grafické tvorby a výraznější návrat k malbě. Postupně se u něj projevovaly vlivy symbolismu a propracoval se k exaltovanému projevu kladoucímu důraz na dokonalost formy a malebnost mystických, tajemných, vizí. Během druhé světové války byla velká část jeho díla zničena. Zemřel v roce 1976 v německém Waldkraiburgu.

Decolonial Ecology - Malcom Ferdinand

The world is in the midst of a storm that has shaped the history of modernity along a double fracture: on the one hand, an environmental fracture driven by a technocratic and capitalist civilization that led to the ongoing devastation of the Earth’s ecosystems and its human and non-human communities and, on the other, a colonial fracture instilled by Western colonization and imperialism that resulted in racial slavery and the domination of indigenous peoples and women in particular. In this important new book, Malcom Ferdinand challenges this double fracture, thinking from the Caribbean world. Here, the slave ship reveals the inequalities that continue during the storm: some are shackled inside the hold and even thrown overboard at the first gusts of wind. Drawing on empirical and theoretical work in the Caribbean, Ferdinand conceptualizes a decolonial ecology that holds protecting the environment together with the political struggles against (post)colonial domination, structural racism, and misogynistic practices. Facing the storm, this book is an invitation to build a world-ship where humans and non-humans can live together on a bridge of justice and shape a common world. It will be of great interest to students and scholars in environmental humanities and Latin American and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Soft - Ferdinand Mount

A sweeping history of emotion that spans the decades, from renowned author Ferdinand Mount.In this day and age, whatever we think we feel, you can be sure that the past has had a part to play in it. In Soft, Ferdinand Mount tells the millennium-long history of emotion through vivid snapshots, masterly storytelling and bizarre historical anecdotes.Revealing all the weird and wonderful ways people in the past expressed their grief and joy, Mount explores the shifting importance societies have placed on empathy for the misfortunes of others. Each seismic moment, Mount argues, from the French Revolution to Civil Rights, has had a corresponding sentimental revolution that has fuelled these great political turning points.But during this long history, powerful feelings have frequently come under attack. No one wants to be accused of being sentimental; its detractors call it soppy, effeminate and populist – the stuff of soap operas and pop songs. The Reformation tried to stamp out excessive emotion, the Victorians resolutely maintained their stiff upper lips and no one loathed sentimentality more than the modernists – and yet, today, it is not the stoics who are ruling the roost: we are living in an age of emotion.This is a witty, ...

Ferdinand III. (1608-1657) - Lothar Höbelt

Císař Ferdinand III. (1608-1657) se narodil v období, kdy vrcholil tzv. habsburský bratrský rozkol (mezi Rudolfem II. a Matyášem), a dospěl za třicetileté války, během níž se stal jako "generalissimus" nástupcem Albrechta z Valdštejna ve velení císařské armády. Jeho vítězství u Nördlingenu v roce 1634 vedlo o rok později k pražskému míru, ke smíření se Saskem a německými luterány. Jako císař (od roku 1637) pak Ferdinand marně usiloval o separátní mír se Švédy, kteří se nakonec dostali až před vídeňské brány, bojoval proti Francii kardinálů Richelieua a Mazarina, na prvním místě mu však šlo o jednotu "rakouského domu", totiž o spojení se Španělskem, pojící se s vyhlídkami na dědictví jeho světové říše, rozkládající se jak v Evropě, tak v zámoří. Nicméně při uzavření vestfálského míru (1648) byl okolnostmi donucen souhlasit s dočasným oddělením se od španělských příbuzných - a právě v tomto směru se stal mírovým císařem proti své vůli. Kulturně znamenala epocha jeho života vrchol italského vlivu, počínaje příbuzenstvím s Gonzagy a Medicejskými, přes protireformační Řím až k vysokým důstojníkům typu Piccolominiho či Montecuccoliho. Byla to epocha přechodová, od žoldnéřů a kondotiérů ke stálému vojsku, od aristokratického života s renesančním duchem ke dvorské kultuře baroka. Doba jistě ve všech ...

The Enemies of Rome - Philip Matyszak

The gripping stories of the most colourful and formidable characters to challenge the might of Rome. Until recently, it was assumed that Rome carried the torch of civilization into the barbarian darkness, bringing law, architecture, and literature to conquered peoples. The alternative view now suggests that many of Rome's enemies - the Celts, Hebrews, and Phoenicians, for example - were developing civilizations in their own right before obliteration at the Roman sword. Indeed, as Philip Matyszak argues, had Rome not crushed rivals so completely, the drop into the Dark Ages might not have occurred; at Rome's collapse, no other powerful civilizations remained to absorb the impact. This engrossing book looks at the growth and eventual demise of Rome from the viewpoint of those vanquished by Rome. They varied from the highly cultivated Greeks and Egyptians to wild and rebellious Britons and Germans, to the Asiatic empires of the Persians and Parthians. Their leaders were driven by ambition, vindictive hatred, fear, political calculation, or naked greed. Some fought to preserve their heritage, some for personal survival, and others from a warrior's love of battle. Defying the might of Rome was a dangerous business, and few of the men and women described ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Rome Before Rome - Philip Matyszak

Philip Matyszak skilfully navigates the myths and legends of early Rome, exploring the enigmatic origins of the Romans and how the first seeds of a great empire were sown. ‘I sing of arms and the man’ wrote Virgil at the start of the Aeneid, one of Rome’s most iconic origin stories exploring the tumultuous journey of Aeneas from Trojan prince to a hero of Rome. But did Aeneas actually flee from Troy? How did this story affect the Roman’s perspective of themselves? And did they believe it? In Rome Before Rome, Philip Matyszak explores the myths and legends, heroes and villains that shaped the Roman sense of self. There are few books which explain how these different legends fit into Rome’s overall narrative and none which explore the range of myths Matyszak describes. Some of the legends are well known, from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of the Sabines, whilst others are more obscure such as the story of the praetor Cipus, who grew horns and became a King of Rome. Whether renowned or unfamiliar, all are significant in their own way and have had a profound impact on the Romans. Even today these myths continue to reverberate throughout ...

Whether you are a cat lover, armchair traveler, or photography buff, Traer Scott’s Cats of Rome will entice you into this ancient city that is home to more than 300,000 cats.

His last work, regarded by many as the greatest work of contemporary scholarship, Tacitus'' The Annals of Imperial Rome recount with depth and insight the history of the Roman Empire during the first century A.D. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an introduction by Michael Grant.Tacitus'' Annals of Imperial Rome recount the major historical events from the years shortly before the death of Augustus up to the death of Nero in AD 68. With clarity and vivid intensity he describes the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during the time of Nero, and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite his claim that the Annals were written objectively, Tacitus'' account is sharply critical of the emperors'' excesses and fearful for the future of Imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its past glories.Michael Grant''s translation vividly captures the emotional patriotism of Tacitus'' moral tone, offset by a lucid understanding that Rome is doomed, and conveys with cinematic vigour the lives of the great Emperors who laid the foundations of modern Europe.Tacitus (56-117) studied rhetoric in Rome and rose to eminence as a pleader at ...
