Българското общество през 14 век. Структура и просопография

Author(s): Ivan Bozhilov / Language(s): Bulgarian

This book is the fruit of many years of research on the social organization in 14th-century Bulgaria and its composition.

Its data build a realistic notion of those in power, those who ruled the country and fought to protect others; of ecclesiastics and monks; of the people who created the culture of the Bulgarians and at the same time were part of the institutions; of those who fed others with their work; of the people outside society – the dissidents.

България и Дубровник. Договорът от 1253 г.

Author(s): Ivan Bozhilov / Language(s): Bulgarian

Dubrovnik is the dream city of the researchers, not only for its rich history, but for its beauty as well - the vast wall and strong towers, that ignite pictures from the past. The historic school of Dubrovnik is evident not only in his castle-like view but also when one takes notice of the rich resources in the archives of the city. This book was written thanks to these resources. Due to the historical events, the Bulgarian historiography resources are poor or missing and the Bulgarian historians are able to gather only fragments from it and the diplomatic and cultural condition of Medieval Bulgaria thanks to the archives of other countries and kingdoms, that Bulgaria had diplomatic or political connections with. This book main topic is the treaty from 1253 when the government of Michael II Asen concluded a commercial and military treaty with the Republic of Ragusa (a.k.a. Dubrovnik) and the other historical evidences that have been found in the rich archives of Dubrovnik.

Author(s): Svetoslava Filipova,Vladimir Petkov,Margarita Andonova,Sotir Ivanov,Ilya Prokopov,Vyacheslav Peshekhonov / Language(s): English

This is the sixth volume in series 'Coin Collections and Coin Hoards from Bulgaria' (CCCHBulg. VI), presenting the numismatic collections of state museums in the present-day Republic of Bulgaria. A comprehensive introduction provides background information on the southwestern area of Blagoevgrad district. In CCCHBulg. IV was presented the collection of the Regional Museum in Blagoevgrad. The collections of three municipal museums at the towns of Sandanski, Petrich and Gotse Delchev are presented here. These three cities are located in the valleys of the rivers Struma (anc. Strymon) and Mesta (anc. Nestos). Volume 6 provides a good picture of coin circulation along the valleys of Struma and Mesta within the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria. In this volume we have new information including the data of the museums collections, archeological excavations and documentation of collectors and local historians. This information is significant in volume. It is about coin finds and is presented with photos, tables and brief descriptions. The registered small denominations ranging from hemiobol to trihemiobol from the period of 6-5 in. BC are especially valuable. There is already enough information about the heavy denominations. So we add this new information and complete the picture for the minting and coin circulation of the earliest period in the researched region. We are also convinced that this new information on scattered coin hoards and single silver and bronze coins from the region will contribute to the study of local history. The number of coins presented in the catalog is 1200. The number of documented scattered coins in the region is 1131. The volume of the book is 283 pages. The format is A4.

The Nazi Law of the Third German Reich

Author(s): Tadeusz Guz / Language(s): English

Although over seventy years have passed since the end of World War II, the issue of national socialism in the German Third Reich still remains the subject of scientific studies of a lot of scientists [...] and an enormous ideological challenge [...] in the process of the creation of culture fit for man as a spiritual and physical being, their natural and legal communities and – not infrequently – [...] fit for the personal Absolute. [...] A certain, maybe the shortest synthesis of the problems brought up in this thesis of the philosophy of law of the Third Reich was made – in cooperation with many Nazi scientists and politicians – by the minister of the Reich Hans Frank in the publication edited by him in 1937 Deutsches Verwaltungsrecht [...] where Justus Danckwerts states the following: “Therefore, it is the state and not the nation that stands at the beginning of analysis. The Führer is the representative of the nation. The nation acts through him. He is the highest war commander, politician, law maker, judge and administrator. Under no circumstances is he bound. Law stands above him which has been growing in the nation and has been tested in the fight of the most German members of the nation in the world of enemies and that is the reason why it is far stronger than any act of law and what is timeless. This law is the socialist national view of the world. It [meaning this view] created the deepest and the most certain foundation of the life order of the German nation. It is the fundamental law of the nation, the unwritten constitution which determines all desire and all activity, not only of the members of the German nation itself but of each person in general.” [...] It is here that, according to Rudolf Bechert, the seeming “necessity of socialism” has its reason for the systematic shaping and interpretation of law. From the Introduction

ROZKOSZ ZEMSTY

Author(s): Lech M. Nijakowski / Language(s): Polish

Książka poświęcona jest ludobójstwom, czystkom etnicznym i masakrom. Autor stara się wyjaśnić, w jaki sposób dochodzi do tych krwawych aktów zbiorowej przemocy – jak mobilizowani są ludzie i zasoby. W pracy opisano i porównano 12 różnych przypadków ludobójstw totalnych i częściowych – od ludobójstwa Indian w drugiej połowie XIX-wieku w Stanach Zjednoczonych po rzeź Tutsi i Twa w Rwandzie w 1994 roku. Jest to pierwsza praca polskiego autora przedstawiająca tak rozległą socjologiczną komparatystykę ludobójstw. Wypracowany w niej model wyjaśniania został odniesiony do przypadku zemsty na Niemcach po II wojnie światowej. Autor pokazuje dlaczego – mimo różnych zbrodni i okrucieństw – nie doszło do ludobójstwa Niemców. Wykorzystuje w tym celu m.in. 60 wywiadów pogłębionych i narracyjnych ze świadkami epoki. Silną stroną książki jest transdycyplinarność i odwołanie się w niej do szerokiej perspektywy dziejowej, właściwej socjologii historycznej.Jako historyka zainteresował mnie odnotowany przez Autora wpływ ludobójstwa na dalszą historię społeczności – co jest fragmentem szerszego tematu oddziaływania przeszłości na przyszłość. Idzie nie tylko o zjawiska demograficzne. Idzie także o punkt odniesienia społeczności, o traktowanie przeszłości jako czynnika jednoczącego grupę. Te zagadnienia Autor przedstawia wysoce interesująco. (...) Zdecydowanie popieram ideę publikacji omawianej pracy. Uważam, że może mieć ona duże znaczenie dla dalszego kierunku rozwoju polskiej humanistyki.

Под сянката на Сталин и Хитлер

Author(s): Plamen Tzvetkov / Language(s): Bulgarian

The fifth volume, the last of the Under the shadow of Stalin and Hitler series dedicated to the fate of the European nationas during Stalin's alliance with Hitler, describes the military coup in Belgrade, the preparations for the attack and destruction of Yugoslavia, the occupation regime in Belgium, the surrender of Greece, the bargain for the new boundaries of Southeastern Europe, the anti-British uprising in Iraq, and Stalin's decision to take over the post of a leader of the Soviet Union, the fall of Crete, Hitler's talks with Boris III, Ante Pavelic and Ion Antonescu, and the German Declaration of War against Russia. In the final "Conclusions and lessons", the author shares: "Without the Soviet-Nazi Alliance created by the Nazy-Soviet Pact of August 23, 1939, World War II in Europe would never have erupted. This alliance predetermines the position of forces on a global scale for the next half century. The ultimate winner of World War II is Stalin. The strategic winner, however, is the United States, but democracy will fully realize its victory only with the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 and the end of Communism in Eastern Europe. "

Светът на мегамитовете

Author(s): Plamen Tzvetkov / Language(s): Bulgarian

Myth and mythology may be defined as an attempt of the human being to put some order in the way of perceiving the surrounding world that appears as chaos. However, those who want to justify their absolute power by a simple and self-evident explanation can easily manipulate this longing for myths, the more so as myth is also a kind of fairy tale. On the other hand, a lie is never hundred percent untrue: it is a combination of obvious facts with half-truths and with sheer untruths.

Author(s): Mihaela Gligor / Language(s): Romanian

The volume brings together 32 writings about books that shaped me, opened my horizon and enriched me spiritually.I tried to structure my texts according to some topics. The chapter entitled "Recent Histories" brings together presentations of books of history, Romanian philosophy, philosophy of culture, interwar history, Holocaust - topics I have dealt with mainly in recent years. "Beyond India" brings together severeal writings about the many books dedicated to India - its history, philosophy, religion and culture - or Orientalism, in general, which I have read since 2007, after meeting India, and more recently, after Cluj Center for Indian Studies was opened at Babes Bolyai University in Cluj Napoca. In the last part, "Parallel Stories" there are some writings about books that helped me to understand some certain aspects of the topics I approached as a researcher, but also some stories about distant and extraordinary worlds.
