Between Giants: The Battle for the Baltics in World War II
ISBN: 9781472807496 / Angielski / Miękka / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With the exception of Poland, no region or territory suffered more greatly during World War II than the Baltic States. Caught between the giants of the Soviet Union and the Third Reich, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia became pawns in the desperate battle for control of Eastern Europe throughout the course of World War II. This is a story of conquest and exploitation, of death and deportation and the fight for survival both by countries and individuals. The three states were repeatedly occupied -- by the Soviet Union in 1939, by Germany in 1941, and again by the Soviet Union in 1944-45. In each...

The Baltic Nations and Europe: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9781138837300 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Of all the Soviet Union's subject nationalities, the three Baltic republics, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, were the most determined and best organised in seizing the opportunities created by glasnost and perestroika to win freedom from Moscow's grip.
At the time of first publication, in 1991, the final section of the book was speculative. Now for this revised edition, the authors have provided a new final chapter which brings the story up to date -- and the three republics to political independence again. Of all the Soviet Union's subject nationalities, the three Baltic republics, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, were the most determined and best organise...

"The best book written on Latvia by a foreigner: incisive, well-informed, and persuasive" Edward Lucas, The Economist What do we know about Latvia and the Latvians? A Baltic (not Balkan) nation that emerged from fifty years under the Soviet Union - interrupted by a brief but brutal Nazi-German occupation and a devastating war - now a member of the European Union and NATO.

In the Captivity of the Matrix : Soviet Lithuanian Historiography, 1944-1985
ISBN: 9789042039117 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about the past and its falsification, historians and the Soviet ideological Matrix. It aims to unveil the formation and existence of Soviet-era Lithuanian historiography, to show how it was affected by mechanisms that created it, and to discuss what kinds of behavioural models different scholars choose in front of the dilemma: to tell the truth or to lie? The answering of these questions determined the structure of the book, which consists of a prologue, five parts and an epilogue. The book will be useful for those interested in the politics of Soviet history and the evolution of...

The Oxford Handbook of Neolithic Europe
ISBN: 9780199545841 / Angielski / Twarda / 856 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Neolithic - a period in which the first sedentary agrarian communities were established across much of Europe - has been a key topic of archaeological research for over a century. However, the variety of evidence across Europe and the way research traditions in different countries (and languages) have developed makes it very difficult for both students and specialists to gain an overview of continent-wide trends.

Litwa Sienkiewicza, Piłsudskiego i Miłosza
ISBN: 9788375653908 / Polski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Książkę tę tworzą trzy przenikające się wzajemnie eseje, których motywem przewodnim, łączącym je w harmonijną całość, jest Litwa – ojczyzna wielkich Polaków, gniazdo rodzinne Piłsudskiego i Miłosza, natchnienie Sienkiewicza. Inspiracją dla tychże rozważań było zaproszenie do towarzyszenia podczas podróży do kraju lat dziecinnych, które autor otrzymał od noblisty – Czesława Miłosza. Litwa – taka jak za dawnych lat, ale jednocześnie jakże inna, nieco tajemnicza – jawi się nam tu przez pryzmat wspaniałych dzieł literatury i wydarzeń z polskiej historii...

Udana transformacja na peryferiach?
ISBN: 9788362628766 / Polski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. W stosunkach polsko-litewskich panuje złudne przekonanie, że obydwa kraje znają się na tyle dobrze, że nie są w stanie wzajemnie niczym się zaskoczyć, że przyczyn naszych nieporozumień należy szukać w historycznych zaszłościach, braku woli współpracy, wewnętrznej polityce, dysproporcji potencjałów, ale na pewno nie w braku wiedzy o sąsiedzie. Chociaż są argumenty za takim stanowiskiem, twórcy tej książki wychodzą z założenia, że wzajemne relacje najmocniej determinuje słaba znajomość współczesnej Litwy w Polsce i współczesnej Polski na Litwie. Zebrane w...

Latvia: A Short History
ISBN: 9781849044622 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of the Latvian people begins some four and a half millennia ago with the arrival of the proto-Baltic Indo-Europeans to northern Europe. One branch of these migrants coalesced into a community which evolved a distinctive and remarkably robust culture and language, and which eventually developed into a loose federation of tribal kingdoms that stretched from the shores of the Baltic sea to the upper Dniepr river. But these small independent kingdoms were unable to resist the later invasion of the Teutonic Knights in 1201, an invasion that initiated nearly eight hundred years of...

Poles in India 1942-1948: Second World War Story
ISBN: 9780953892839 / Angielski / Miękka / 658 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This Indian adventure is intrinsically linked to World War II: after the deportations to the Soviet Union a group of Poles found safe refuge in India, where they would stay until the end of the War, hoping to return to their own country. Unfortunately the Yalta Agreements made that impossible. Very few people went back to Communist Poland; the great majority scattering throughout the Western World. But the bonds of friendships formed in India survived and they occasionally had reunions in different parts of the world until they formally organised themselves into the Association of Poles in...

Vilnius Between Nations, 1795-2000
ISBN: 9780875807300 / Angielski / Miękka / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The inhabitants of Vilnius, the present-day capital of Lithuania, have spoken various languages and professed different religions while living together in relative harmony over the years. The city has played a significant role in the history and development of at least three separate cultures--Polish, Lithuanian, and Jewish--and until very recently, no single cultural-linguistic group composed the clear majority of its population. Vilnius between Nations, 1795-2000 is the first study to undertake a balanced assessment of this particularly diverse city. Theodore Weeks...

Balkan Legacies of the Great War
ISBN: 9781137564139 / Angielski / Twarda / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a rich yet succinct account of an underexplored story: the consequences of the Great War for the region which ignited it. It offers a fascinating tapestry: the collapse of Empires, the birth of Turkey and Yugoslavia, Greece as both victor and loser, Bulgaria's humiliating defeat; bitter memories, forced migrations, territorial implications and collective national amnesias. The legacies live on. The contributions in this volume significantly enhance the debate about how the Great War is remembered in South East Europe, and why it still evokes such strong emotions and reactions, more...

The Secret of One Grave
ISBN: 9780692501177 / Angielski / Miękka / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If I may say so, this book is a mixture of "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" by Victor Hugo and the "An American Tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser, only in the Lithuanian version of it It is especially so because much of the action in the book is taking place in one of the most famous churches of Europe that is located in Vilnius, Lithuania. Believed to have been built on the site of worship to Lithuanian pagan goddess of love, this breathtaking Late Baroque masterpiece was commissioned to celebrate victory over the Russians in 1668 by the Grand Chief of the Lithuanian armies, who never lived to see...

Der römische Triumph in Prinzipat und Spätantike
ISBN: 9783110445688 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 607 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die politische Bedeutung des romischen Triumphs hat sich in augusteischer Zeit grundlegend gewandelt. Im romischen Prinzipat verlor das Ritual seine Funktion als Medium inneraristokratischer Konkurrenz und entwickelte sich zum zeremoniellen Brennpunkt der militarischen Reprasentation des Kaisers. Die Forschung hat sich bisher auf den republikanischen Triumph konzentriert, da das Ritual unter den Bedingungen der Alleinherrschaft zu einem monotonen und politisch irrelevanten Spektakel verkommen sei. Das Gegenteil ist der Fall: Seit die historische Forschung erkannt hat, welchem... Die politische Bedeutung des romischen Triumphs hat sich in augusteischer Zeit grundlegend gewandelt.
