''One of the great novels of the 20th century'' ObserverIn April 1942, Hitler and Mussolini plan the huge offensive on the Eastern Front that will culminate in the greatest battle in human history.Hundreds of miles away, Pyotr Vavilov receives his call-up papers and spends a final night with his wife and children in the hut that is his home. As war approaches, the Shaposhnikov family gathers for a meal: despite her age, Alexandra will soon become a refugee; Tolya will enlist in the reserves; Vera, a nurse, will fall in love with a wounded pilot; and Viktor Shtrum will receive a letter from his doomed mother which will haunt him forever.The war will consume the lives of a huge cast of characters - lives which express Grossman''s grand themes of the nation and the individual, nature''s beauty and war''s cruelty, love and separation.For months, Soviet forces are driven back inexorably by the German advance eastward and eventually Stalingrad is all that remains between the invaders and victory. The city stands on a cliff top by the Volga River. The battle for Stalingrad - a maelstrom of violence and firepower - will reduce it to ruins. But it will also be ...

The Complete Black Book of Russian Jewryis a collection of eyewitness testimonies, letters, diaries, affidavits, and other documents on the activities of the Nazis against Jews in the camps, ghettoes, and towns of Eastern Europe. Arguably, the only apt comparism is to The Gulag Archipelago of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. This definitive edition of The Black Book, including for the first time materials omitted from previous editions, is a major addition to the literature on the Holocaust. It will be of particular interest to students, teachers, and scholars of the Holocaust and those interested in the history of Europe.By the end of 1942, 1.4 million Jews had been killed by the Einsatzgruppen that followed the German army eastward; by the end of the war, nearly two million had been murdered in Russia and Eastern Europe. Of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, about one-third fell in the territories of the USSR. The single most important text documenting that slaughter is The Black Book, compiled by two renowned Russian authors Ilya Ehrenburg and Vasily Grossman. Until now, The Black Book was only available in English in truncated editions. Because of its profound significance, this new and definitive English translation of ...

The first in a three-book series examining the Stalingrad campaign, one of the most decisive military operations in World War II that set the stage for the ultimate defeat of the Third Reich.After failing to defeat the Soviet Union with Operation Barbarossa in 1941, Adolf Hitler planned a new campaign for the summer of 1942 that was intended to achieve a decisive victory: Operation Blue (Case Blau). In this new campaign, Hitler directed that one army group (Heeresgruppe A) would advance to seize the Soviet oilfields in the Caucasus, while the other (Heeresgruppe B) pushed on to the Volga River. The expectation was for a rapid victory – instead, German forces had to fight hard just to reach the outskirts of Stalingrad, and then found themselves embroiled in a protracted urban battle amid the ruins of a devastated city on the Volga.The Soviet Red Army was hit hard by the initial German offensive but held onto the city and then launched Operation Uranus, a winter counteroffensive that encircled the German 6.

Throughout our country, atrocities are taking place in doctor’s offices and hospital operating rooms. Physically healthy children and adolescents are being permanently disfigured and sometimes sterilized. Those youth say they’re transgender, and we—their parents, teachers, therapists, and doctors—are supposed to agree with their self-diagnosis and take a back seat as they make the most consequential decision of their lives: to alter their bodies in order to, we are told, “align” them with their minds. Medical, educational, and government authorities advise us to support the “gender journeys” of still developing kids, including medical interventions with poor evidence of long-term improvement. This would not be acceptable in any other field of medicine. Indeed, the treatments our medical authorities and Washington call “crucial” and “life-saving” have been banned in progressive Sweden, Finland, and Britain. Dr. Miriam Grossman is a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose practice consists of trans-identified youth and their families. In Lost in Trans Nation, she implores parents to reject the advice of gender experts and politicians and trust their guts—their parental instincts—in the face of an onslaught of ideologically driven misinformation that steers them and their children toward risky decisions they may end up mourning for the rest of their ...

Unsparingly he assesses the generals and political leaders, and analyses the confusions and wranglings within both Allied and Axis commands. The climax, the grinding battle for Stalingrad, leaves the Red Army poised for its majestic counter-offensive, Operation ''Uranus'', discovering it had ''caught a tiger by the tail''.

In clear, accessible language, Lee Grossman addresses the disjuncture between analytic literature and clinical work in an effort to render analytic theorizing more representative of clinical experience. Pointing out the ways in which analytic literature can fail to capture the intensity of feeling and the stumbling, lurching, working in the dark that captures much of clinical engagement, Grossman shows how incomprehensibility is sometimes mistaken for wisdom. As an alternative, Grossman shows how attention to what he calls the syntax of thought can naturally define three different broad categories of life experience: the omnipotence of the neurotic, the wishful, short-sighted thinking of the perverse, and the concrete, disordered thinking of the psychotic. Using rich clinical material, interspersed with detailed exposition and artful satire, Grossman departs from conventional theoretical writing to provide new ways of conceptualising analytic therapy. Addressing analytic therapy as an encounter between two people, both governed by forces about which they know very little, this book provides essential insights for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and other clinical practitioners both in training and in practice.

The compelling story of the significant relationship between communism and modern architecture in postwar France  The massive reshaping of French cities that took place between 1958 and 1981 is commonly regarded as a unique episode in which modernist ideals were tested on an unprecedented scale. Yet the history of postwar French modernism has never fully accounted for the influence of one of architecture’s most important institutional patrons, the French Communist Party (PCF). Drawing political theory and architectural history into conversation, Vanessa Grossman probes the shifting but enduring alliance between modern architecture and the PCF in the aftermath of the political crisis of 1958, prompted by the Algerian War of Independence and Charles de Gaulle’s rise to power.  Focusing on key episodes, Grossman discusses the work of Renée Gailhoustet (a rare female architect of her generation), Jean Renaudie, and members of the Atelier d’urbanisme et d’architecture (AUA), in collaboration with architectural elders such as Jean Prouvé and Oscar Niemeyer, who self-exiled to France, and in relation to contemporary Marxist thinkers such as philosophers Louis Althusser and Henri Lefebvre.

Five months, one week and three days of hell. The German offensive to capture Stalingrad began in August 1942, using Friedrich Paulus’s 6th Army and elements of the 4th Panzer Army. The attack was supported by intense bombing that reduced much of the city to rubble. The battle degenerated into house-to-house fighting, as both sides fought for the city on the Volga. By mid-November, the Germans were on the brink of victory as the Soviet defenders clung on to a final few slivers of land along the west bank of the river.Then, on 19 November, the Red Army launched Operation Uranus, targeting the weaker Romanian armies protecting the 6th Army’s flanks. The ill-equipped Romanians were overrun and the 6th Army was cut off and surrounded. Hitler was determined to hold the city – the symbolic namesake of the Soviet leader – and forbade the 6th Army from attempting a breakout, insisting they be supplied by air instead; in February 1943, without food or ammunition, some 91,000 starving, lice-ridden Germans surrendered. The losses on both sides were eye-watering – the Soviets alone suffered something approaching half a million dead and more than 650,000 sick or wounded – and in his unique ...

Pět měsíců, jeden týden a tři dny pekla. Německá ofenzíva, jejímž cílem bylo dobýt Stalingrad, začala v srpnu 1942 za účasti 6. armády Friedricha Pauluse a částí 4. tankové armády. Útok byl podpořen intenzivním bombardováním, které velkou část města proměnilo v ruiny. Bitva se zvrhla v boje o každý dům. Obě strany bojovaly o město na Volze zuřivě a s velkým zaujetím. V polovině listopadu byli Němci na pokraji vítězství, zatímco sovětští obránci se drželi posledních úzkých pruhů země podél západního břehu řeky. Rudá armáda však v té době zahájila operaci Uran, jež cílila na slabší rumunské armády chránící boky 6. armády. Špatně vybavené rumunské jednotky byly přemoženy a 6. armáda byla odříznuta a obklíčena. Hitler byl odhodlán udržet město za každou cenu a zakázal 6. armádě pokus o průlom. Trval na tom, aby byla zásobována ze vzduchu. Výsledkem byla německá porážka. V únoru 1943 se bez jídla a munice vzdalo asi 91 000 hladovějících a vešmi prolezlých Němců sovětským jednotkám.

The Germans lost 500,000 soldiers during the Stalingrad campaign, some 91,000 of whom were taken prisoner – a number which included 2,000 officers, twenty-three generals and one Generalfeldmarschall, Friedrich Paulus. There were 149 officers who later held the rank of general who were awarded the Knight’s Cross for their actions on the Eastern Front between 6 December 1941 and 2 February 1943.

Konečně kniha o výcviku psů, která dává smysl jak pro psy, tak i pro jejich majitele - a využívá metody pozitivního posilování založené na vědeckých poznatcích. Po generace slavní trenéři tvrdili, že majitelé psů musí nad svými mazlíčky "dominovat", a kritizovali ty, kteří se své psy odvážili hýčkat láskou. Kniha Jak vycvičit psa s pomocí lásky a vědy představuje moderní, vědecky podložený přístup k výcviku psů, který ukazuje, že chování milovaných mazlíčků lze měnit i bez nátlaku a násilí. Novinářka a trenérka psů Annie Grossman rozebírá, co pozitivní posilování skutečně znamená, a ukazuje, že "dobrý výcvik psů" může být i klíčem k lepšímu pochopení nás samotných. Grossman v knize nabízí praktické cvičení a tipy, jak efektivně trénovat pomocí metod odměňování, které za poslední desetiletí zdokonalila ve své manhattanské škole School For The Dogs. Ať už jste si právě přivedli domů nového psa, nebo chcete naučit starého psa novým kouskům, kniha vám pomůže pochopit, jak dosáhnout požadovaného chování. Do tohoto živého průvodce je vpletena i stoletá historie pozitivního posilování - od Pavlovových psů a Skinnerových krys až po dnešní psy, kteří se učí pomocí nejmodernějších zařízení.

Píše se rok 1942 a německá armáda vítězí na všech frontách i díky speciálním vojákům v jejích řadách. Vojákům, kteří jsou prakticky nezničitelní – tedy pokud mají dost cizí krve. A jestli něco v téhle zatracené válce skutečně teče proudem, tak právě krev. Germánský upírský klan se rozpíná do všech stran a jeho nepřátelé jsou rozhádaní a prohrávají jednu bitvu za druhou. Zdá se, že mocnou vládkyni Germánů nic nezastaví. Jenže generál Gerhard začíná pochybovat a slovanský upírský klan se tak snadno nevzdává. Navíc Veronika s Janem Bezzemkem mají plán... Tajné války upírů vrcholí monstrózní bitvou, která se zapíše do dějin Bratrstva krve.

Byla nejen obrovskou opotřebovávací bitvou, ale také psychologickým střetnutím dvou maximálně koncentrovaných vůlí. Šlo o mnohem víc než o jedno město. Vojáci, kteří se do sebe zuřivě zakousli v hromadách sutin z domů, v nichž ještě nedávno žili lidé, na donekonečna rozrývaných svazích Mamajovy mohyly, v odpadních kanálech, den ode dne chápali víc a víc, co je v sázce.

Kniha - autor Star Busmann; Josef Otáhal, 144 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Cílem německé letní ofenzivy v roce 1942 v jižním Rusku bylo dobytí Stalingradu a ropných polí u Baku na druhé straně Kavkazu. „Jestliže se nezmocním ropy z Baku,“ řekl Hitler, „pak budu muset válku ukončit.“ Dobytí Zakavkazska bylo svěřeno skupině armád A pod velením maršála von Kleista. Kromě toho měla tato armáda obsadit pobřeží Černého a Kaspického moře a eliminovat tam všechny ruské jednotky. Skupina armád B pod velením generála von Weichse měla krýt operace skupiny armád A tím, že postupovala z velkého donského oblouku na Stalingrad a odtud podél Volhy k Astrachani a ke Kaspickému moři. Po ukončení obou operací měly německé linie probíhat podél černomořského pobřeží Zakavkazskem, potom podél pobřeží Kaspického moře po Astrachaň a odtud podél Volhy. Pak už by se Němci nemuseli obávat ruské protiofenzivy z jihu. Černé moře, Zakavkazsko a Kaspické moře hraničily na jihu s...

In his short life, Liverpool-born Alexander Foote went from being a volunteer in the International Brigade in Spain to becoming an agent of Soviet military intelligence in Switzerland. Pretending to his friends that he was a dim-witted Englishman with private means, Foote became the key telegraphist of the so-called ‘Red Three’ network of radio stations, communicating top secret German intelligence to the USSR from under the noses of the Swiss authorities. The information from Foote’s Morse key originated from sources in Germany and came to Foote via the enigmatic figure of Rudolph Rossler, known as Agent Lucy. Where he obtained the information from is a mystery that has never been solved. During the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, Soviet generals came to depend on the information from Foote’s transmitter and those of his comrades. On his release from a ten-month remand in a Swiss gaol on an espionage charge, Foote absconded to Paris in 1944 before being invited for debriefing in Moscow. When he arrived, he became aware that he was under suspicion of being a British spy and it took all his wit to talk his comrades in Soviet intelligence out of sending him to the gulag: a fate ...

In a world defined by the brutalities of war, one German general stands apart from the Hollywood stereotype. Before the storm of the Second World War, Fridolin von Senger und Etterlin was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, fluent in multiple languages, and a devoted Christian — a lifelong Benedictine Oblate. From the very outset he was anti-Nazi and, on many occasions, defied Hitler’s orders. His military skills were good; in France he beat Rommel to Cherbourg and on the Eastern Front he tried to relieve the German 6th Army in Stalingrad. It was in Italy where his reputation grew by safely evacuating German troops from Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, a delicate matter because the Italians had changed sides. He defeated General Clark’s forces at the Rapido battle fiasco, and he caused Cassino to become a serious hold up for the Allied advance north. It was he who willingly signed the surrender documents in Italy on 4 May 1945. His Christian beliefs meant there were no barbarities within his command, and he made lifelong friends with some occupied residents, helping to save lives from the dreaded SS, and the Italian partisans never attacked him because he had helped the helpless.

V románu Přijde kůň do baru odpaluje přední izraelský spisovatel David Grossman jazykový ohňostroj, který se dotýká samotné podstaty lidské duše. Jednoho horkého srpnového večera se na pódiu maloměstského klubu objeví se svou stand-up show zatrpklý, stárnoucí bavič Dovík G. Po chvíli začne divákům místo laciných vtipů líčit podivný příběh o prvním pohřbu svého života: o dlouhé cestě na smuteční obřad, během níž nevěděl, koho ze svých blízkých najde na marách. Divákům v hledišti tuhne úsměv na rtech, večer se začíná podobat brutálnímu zúčtování – s Dovíkem, s publikem i s hluboce poškozenou společností. Dokud nespadne opona.

Initiating readers in the fascinating and complex history of witchcraft, from the goddess mythologies of ancient cultures to the contemporary embrace of the craft by modern artists and activists, this expansive tome conjures up a breathtaking overview of an age-old tradition. Rooted in legend, folklore, and myth, the archetype of the witch has evolved from the tales of Odysseus and Circe, the Celtic seductress Cerridwen, and the myth of Hecate, fierce ruler of the moonlit night. In Witchcraft we survey her many incarnations since, as she shape-shifts through the centuries, alternately transforming into mother, nymph, and crone-seductress and destroyer.Edited by Jessica Hundley, and co-edited by author, scholar, and practitioner Pam Grossman, this enthralling visual chronicle is the first of its kind, a deep dive into the complex symbologies behind witchcraft traditions, as explored through the history of art itself. The witch has played muse to great artists throughout time, from the dark seductions of Francisco Jose de Goya and Albrecht Durer to the elegant paean to the magickal feminine as re-imagined by the Surrealist circle of Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington, and Leonor Fini. The witch has spellbound through folktales and dramatic literature as well, from the poison apples of The ... Unknown localization key: "more"

An epic, deeply moving novel about the power of love and loving with courage - from the Man Booker International Prize-winning author of A Horse Walks into a Bar On a kibbutz in Israel in 2008, Gili is celebrating the ninetieth birthday of her grandmother Vera, the adored matriarch of a sprawling and tight-knit family.
