VERHÜLLUNG UND ENTHÜLLUNG. Der Kampf der Ideologien in der Geschichte

Author(s): Pál Szende / Language(s): German

Any formation of thought is considered by Szende as an “Ideology” which exceeds, by interpretation, by conceptual definition, by intellectual converting, and by logical classification, simple human perception. It is the historical role of ideologies to bring individuals or masses, through psychological inducement, to either historical action or to passiveness concerning social order and its conservation or its reform resp. revolution. The main characteristics of ideologies triggering either conservative attitudes and passiveness or reform resp. revolution can be described as “Verhüllung” (disuise) or “Enthüllung” (unveiling). // “It is the essential feature of every revolution and crisis period that the social driving forces, which in less turbulent times are veiled, distorted, whitewashed, impetuously come to the surface from the depths, and are presented to human knowledge in an unadulterated form. Every revolution is the apocalypse of the unconscious, the real agents of events that have not yet been recognized at all or have been recognized in a different way. The potential energies of society - stored up since time immemorial - discharge themselves in grandiose shooting up, creating new things, destroying the old. The rate of the world clock is accelerated. A gigantic film shows the keen eye the biogenetic law of history; every stage of development in human society is shown to us in a flash of lightning.” (Paul Szende)

Maimonides Rambam. SPOMENICA. Povodom osamstogodisnjice od njegovog Rođenja, 1135-1935

Author(s): Moric Levi,Kalmi Baruh,Leopold Fišer,Willy Haas,Ladoslav Šik / Language(s): Croatian,Serbian

Published in 1935 by the JEWISH CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY ,,LA BENEVOLENCIA" in Sarajevo // From the editor’s introduction: „The great thinker, and even greater legislator, Maimonides is the most important spiritual figure among the Jews, because without him one cannot imagine the special spiritual life of the Jewish community, nor the development of certain religious disciplines in general, from the time of his activity until today. // Maimonides, however, is also a very big name in the history of that philosophical and scientific period on the Iberian Peninsula which gave new content and a strong impetus to the thought work of the whole of Europe at that time. Therefore, he belongs to the circle of those medieval thinkers who laid the first foundations of rationalist philosophy in the Renaissance. This assessment of his philosophical appearance gave rise to a huge number of articles and books in which thinkers of all European nations presented the work of Maimonides.“

La Bessarabie. Étude historique, ethnographique et économique

Author(s): Antony Babel / Language(s): French

Basically, the question of Bessarabia arises, now, as in the past, in relation to that of the Straits. The importance of Bessarabia's wheat lands may also have something to do with the attitude of the Russian government as it attempts to resume grain exports to Europe after several years of crop failures. or even starvation. But the main thing is not there. Since Finland, the Baltic States and Poland have severely restricted Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea, it has attached greater importance than ever to the Black Sea problem. // What the Soviets see above all in Bessarabia is a territory which would allow them to get closer to Constantinople and the Straits - which they continue to consider as the door of their house - and which, moreover, their would make it possible to control the mouths of the Danube. This, it seems, is the real meaning of their attitude on the Bessarabia question. In this area, as in many others, Bolshevik imperialism is a fairly exact continuation of the old Tsarist imperialism.

Au Pays du Nep et de la Tchéka. Dans les Prisons de l’U.R.S.S.

Author(s): Boris Sederholm / Language(s): French

From 1924 to 1926, the Soviet government, or more precisely the Cheka, detained me, a foreigner, not guilty of any crime, in various places of detention, and finally deported me to the concentration camp. of Solovetzk for a period of three years, without prior judgment and in force by a simple decision of the Gué-Pé-Ou, in other words the Cheka. // My experiences in Soviet Russia are so implausible, because of the cruelty and cynicism shown towards me, that I have found it useful to add to this book the copy of certain documents extracted correspondence concerning my "case" and exchanged between the Consulate of Finland and the Public Commissariat of Foreign Affairs. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to publish in full the many documents relating to the talks between the Finnish government and the Soviet government regarding my arrest and release. But the few pieces that I have found opportune to publish amply confirm the veracity of my account. I would like to draw the reader's attention to the fact that in the course of the following account I have changed the surnames of the people I have mentioned, as well as certain circumstances, but only in cases where I do so. I deemed it necessary for the safety of these people, who are still alive and who are in a territory where they would risk being reached by the Gué-Pé-Ou, in other words the Tcheka.

La Russie et les problèmes de la Paix

Author(s): Léon Moïsevitch Nemanoff / Language(s): French

Napoleon said that a country’s foreign policy is determined by its geographical position and its permanent interests. German geopoliticians, led by Haushofer, did not contradict him. If, in our capacity as human geographer, we find the direct relation of the natural environment to politics too summary, by a method capable of sometimes misleading uncritical minds or even of justifying abominable acts, on the other hand, we are ready to follow Léon Némanoff in a similar demonstration, but which does not ignore the human factor and economic influences. // The author of “Russia and the Problems of Peace” is a specialist in Slavic issues, as we had noticed in the heyday of the S. d. N. His training meets scientific requirements. He even manages to remain objective, in dealing with his own country. This is not to say, however, that he will not let his patriotism pierce his words. And M. Némanoff will take us on an astonishing adventure, that of the Russian people. He will make us relive it as he feels it, intensely. Departing with him from the constants of Russian politics, we will watch a historical film which will now unfold logically, the characters of this poignant drama obeying in a way an irresistible imperative.

Brandherd Balkan. Reisebetrachtungen eines Journalisten.

Author(s): Louis A. Matzhold / Language(s): German

In clear, concise language, Matzhold outlines the situation and the way of life in the Balkan countries, always drawing from his own experience. Pressed and influenced by a dozen different ideologies and religions, they represent a source of fire that begins to flicker incessantly in the most diverse places. The great contrasts are described which exist economically, politically and socially in the heart of the Balkan man, in his family, in the states and finally in the whole region and are in conflict with each other. Here the bandages are mercilessly torn from a wound that keeps Europe feverish and threatens the Balkans themselves, indeed the whole world, with a new war. In the author's view, the fate of the West, of contemporary European civilization, will be decided in the Balkans. (blurb of the original edition) PUBLISHED IN 1936 BY L. W. SEIDEL VERLAG, VIENNA - written by the head correspondent of Associated Press to the Balkans

Die Balkanländer. Bd. I

Author(s): Émile Louis Victor de Laveleye / Language(s): German

My path leads me again to the Slav peoples of the Danube and Balkan countries. I want to see how the Zadrugas — the home or family communities — which excited me so much on my journey in 1867, have changed since then. Leroy-Beaulieu and Moritz Block severely criticized my antiquated conception of those venerable communities, while Stuart Mill shared it and Henry Maine understood it. Under Bishop Strossmayr's guidance, I will first inspect the Zadrugas of Slavonia in the Djakovo area, then I will continue my observations in Bosnia, Serbia and Bulgaria, learning about the political and economic situation of these countries, which I have already discussed in my book »Prussia and Austria since Sadowa«. The favorable opportunity to undertake such investigations must be seized without hesitation, because a rapid transformation is taking place under the influence of railways, new constitutions and closer ties with Western Europe. The inhabitants of those countries will soon exchange their peculiar, hundred-year-old customs and customs, their picturesque costumes for what ist usually called modern civilization, and then regulate their whole way of thinking and living in the manner of Paris or London. I hear tremendous changes have taken place since 1867. (From the author's introduction)

Die Balkanländer. Bd. II

Author(s): Émile Louis Victor de Laveleye / Language(s): German

Since the publication of the first volume of my book on the Balkans, everyone has been looking at them with growing fear. It is feared that a clash is taking place there between the Russians and Austrians, affecting all the peoples of Europe and North Asia, from Mount Etna to the North Cape and from the Atlantic Ocean to the distant shores of the Pacific and the mouths of the Amur. But how can the events in Bulgaria, which is so far away, threaten the peace that all peoples and, it seems, all princes want to keep? Well, we are standing at a turning point in history, where the die is to be cast that will decide the fortunes of the East and consequently also of the West. (From the author's introduction)

„Thyestes” Lucjusza Anneusza Seneki. Opracowanie monograficzne

Author(s): Iwona Słomak / Language(s): Polish

"Thyestes", to which this monograph is devoted, exhibits all the characteristics of the Senecan plays that facilitate the centuries-long interest in them on the part of scholars and lovers of literature. They are also responsible for the distinctiveness of the author’s work against the background of Greek tragedy — due to the philosophical-critical nature of the work, they disengage from a directly didactic tone in favor of provocation and irony, the potential to engage less with the emotions and more with the intellect of the audience. It is possible to also find here examples of Seneca’s characteristic semantic and formal solutions, which confirm the dynamic development of the genre in Antiquity and at the same time may seem fairly modern today.

Odważył się namalować głos

Author(s): Andrzej Pieńkos / Language(s): Polish

The author proposes reflections on the relations of music and the world of sounds with visual arts – painting, graphics and sculpture – as a description of an impossible alliance. Avoiding an unambiguous answer, he discusses the search for such relations, their artistic, social and personal circumstances, which allow us to understand the paradox of art and the essence of modernity more fully.
