ISBN: 9781498297325 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Father Udoekpo's work offers a thorough review of the theology of worship in the work of Amos of Tekoa, one of Israel's foundational prophets. It critically examines Amos 5 in its socio-historical and literary context and theologically reevaluates the application of Amos's message of ethical worship, judgment, and hope to two contemporary cultures: Nigeria and the United States of America. While intentionally down to earth and engaging in society and religion, this work discusses in a thoughtful and detailed exegetical manner the various sub-units of lamentation (vv. 1-3), the motifs of the...

The Oxford Handbook of Fascism
ISBN: 9780199594788 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Bringing together scholars from the Italian and English-speaking worlds, Bosworth and Dogliani's edited book reviews the history of the memory and representation of Fascism after 1945.

Nationalism
ISBN: 9780582506022 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why do many of us swell with pride at the sound of the national anthem or sight of the national flag? Why do we use our nationalities to describe who we are? Why do politicians claim to stand for 'national values' above all else? In his new critical study of nationalism, R.J.B. Bosworth explores the origins and purpose of the division of human kind into national groupings. The book explores the history of nationalism, arguing that the present is seeing a dangerous growth of what might be called 'national fundamentalism'. Bosworth suggests that nations work best when they possess the... Why do many of us swell with pride at the sound of the national anthem or sight of the national flag?

Whispering City: Modern Rome and Its Histories
ISBN: 9780300114713 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Civilization and Its Discontents, Sigmund Freud claimed that Rome must be comprehended as "not a human dwelling place but a mental entity," in which the palaces of the Caesars still stand alongside modern apartment buildings in layers of brick, mortar, and memory. "The observer would need merely to shift the focus of his eyes, perhaps, or change his position, in order to call up a view of either the one or the other." In this one-of-a-kind book, historian Richard Bosworth accepts Freud's challenge, drawing upon his expertise in Italian pasts to explore the many layers of...

Italy the Least of the Great Powers: Italian Foreign Policy Before the First World War
ISBN: 9780521019897 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the heart of Rome beside the Capitol, confronting the Piazza Venezia, stands the Victor Emmanuel monument. In Rome, which until 1945 was so often accorded the adjectives 'eternal' or 'imperial', the monumentissimo (as sardonic socialists labelled it) is the most public, most theatrical and most excessive architectural celebration of post-Risorgimento Italian patriotism, nationalism and perhaps imperialism. This book asks why the Victor Emmanuel monument, planned after 1878 and opened in 1911, was a structure raised by Liberal and not Fascist Italy. Through a detailed study of diplomacy, of...

Was it the ideology and experience of the trenches brought to political authority? Or did it express the hopes and ideals of an emerging middle class which had done well out of World War I? To what extent was fascism a boys' ideology? And to what degree did Mussolini lead - and to what extent follow - public opinion?

Mussolini's Italy: Life Under the Dictatorship, 1915-1945
ISBN: 9780141012919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 736 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. For almost all nations the First World War was an unparalleled disaster, but the Italian experience especially was to have catastrophic consequences. Weakened and embittered, trying and failing to come to terms with 600,000 dead and with an entire generation of men militarized by fighting, Italy gave birth to a new form of political life: Fascism. Richard Bosworth brings to life the period when Italians participated in a vast and ultimately ruinous political experiment under their dictator, Benito Mussolini, and his fascist henchmen. The fascists were the first totalitarians, aiming to...

Explaining Auschwitz and Hiroshima: Historians and the Second World War, 1945-1990
ISBN: 9780415084505 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Explaining Auschwitz and Hiroshima explores the way in which the main combatant societies of the Second World War have historicized that experience. Since 1945, debates in Germany about the past that would not fade away have been reasonably well-known. But in this book, Richard Bosworth maintains that Germany is not unique. He argues that in Britain, France, Italy, the USSR and Japan, as well as in Germany, the traumatic history of the long Second World War has remained crucial to the culture and the politics of post-war societies. Each has felt a compelling need to interpret this past event...
