        The Empress’ First Investigation

        by Natalka Sniadanko

        The rare violin, which was played by Mozart, is usually not taken abroad. An exception was made for the festival in Lviv, but no one even supposed that this would become an important link in the whole chain of terrible events. Unexpectedly for everyone and herself, the legendary Austrian Empress Sissy successfully investigates not only the mysterious attempt on her husband, but also a number of other mysteries. Natalka Sniadanko's new novel based on documentary materials about the life and adventures of the imperial family immerses the reader in a stunning detective story with political implications. An additional intrigue to this story is given by the two-dimensional plot story, due to which the events of the mid-19th century suddenly echo poignantly in Lviv at the beginning of the third millennium.

        Ukraine between East and West

        by Ihor Shevchenko

        The book by Prof. Ihor Shevchenko, a noble intellectual, one of the most prominent specialists in the fields of Byzantine and Slavic history and culture, presents the medieval and early modern history of Ukraine in a broad cultural perspective in the context of the country’s relations with the East (Byzantium, Muscovite/Russian state, the Ottoman Empire) and the West (Poland and Austria-Hungary). The twelve essays that make up the book cover the period from the introduction of Christianity in Kievan Rus to the early 18th Century.

        Britain in China

        by Robert Bickers

        This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China", challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand imperial design, but with their own communities and precarious livelihoods. This brought them into conflict not only with the Chinese population, but with the British imperial government. The book also analyzes the formation and maintenance of settler identities, and then investigates how the British state and its allies brought an end to the reign of freelance, settler imperialism on the China coast. At the same time, other British sectors, missionary and business, renegotiated their own relationship with their Chinese markets and the Chinese state and distanced themselves from the settler British.

        Ukrainian Worlds of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Stories about History

        by Natalya Starchenko

        The vision of the Ukrainian history dominant in the Russian Empire and in the Soviet Union focused exclusively on the heroic Cossacks and disenfranchised peasants. There was no room in it for the local elites: the Ukrainian aristocracy (szlachta) of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. As the result of this biased perspective, Ukrainians to this day know very little about the life of those people. This book invites the readers to take a closer look at the Ukrainian aristocracy. This introduction is done in a somewhat unusual form, through true anecdotes from the life of aristocracy gleaned from court records and other sources from the time. We get glimpses of the elites not only in their best garbs but also in their well-worn home clothes. The book brings together 105 brief chapters that describe how these people saw themselves, how they fought and made peace, how they fell in love and got married, how unwavering they were in the defense of their rights in court. Last not least, these essays explore whether the Ukrainian elites were mere extras and viewers in history or its active makers, resolute and strong in their insistence on defending and expanding their rights and freedoms.

Commissioner Vistovych, a restrained and cold-blooded Galician investigator, is drawn into the whirlpool of dangerous events.

        A social history of central European politics, 1945–56

        by Eleonore Breuning, Jill Lewis, Gareth Pritchard

        This book covers various aspects of the social history of politics on both sides of the Iron Curtain in the period 1945 to 1956. The contributors come from a range of countries (Austria, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia and the United Kingdom) and comprise a mixture of established historians and younger scholars engaged in pioneering research. The individual chapters are organised into four sections dealing with workers, ethnic and linguistic minorities, youth, and women. In order to enhance the comparative character of the volume, the four chapters contained in each section consider the position of these social groups in, respectively, West Germany, East Germany, Austria, and either Czechoslovakia or Hungary. Major themes include the absence of popular revolutions in the aftermath of World War Two, the re-imposition of social control by post-war elites, the attempt to restore pre-war gender relations, and the failure of Communist parties to win popular support. The chosen time-frame saw most of the decisive developments which set the pattern for the remaining Cold War period and is therefore of key importance for any student of this topic. ;

        Settlers at the end of empire

        Race and the politics of migration in South Africa, Rhodesia and the United Kingdom

        by Jean Smith

        Settlers at the end of empire traces the development of racialised migration regimes in South Africa, Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe) and the United Kingdom from the Second World War to the end of apartheid in 1994. While South Africa and Rhodesia, like other settler colonies, had a long history of restricting the entry of migrants of colour, in the 1960s under existential threat and after abandoning formal ties with the Commonwealth they began to actively recruit white migrants, the majority of whom were British. At the same time, with the 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act, the British government began to implement restrictions aimed at slowing the migration of British subjects of colour. In all three nations, these policies were aimed at the preservation of nations imagined as white, revealing the persistence of the racial ideologies of empire across the era of decolonisation.

        Due to poverty, Maria Farinyak is forced to give her nine-year-old son Mykhailo to the relatives of her late husband: Nuncle Stefan, the owner of a bookstore, and Auntie Kasia, a strict woman who is not happy to have someone else’s child in the house. Thus begins the story of Mis’ko Farinyak, a boy of the early twentieth century, which is strangely intertwined with the story of Mykhailo Farinyak, a man of the early XXI century.

        by Peter Haber, Alexander Bittmann

        "Budapest ist stark von seiner jüdischen Geschichte geprägt. In seiner Einführung zeichnet der Herausgeber die wechselvolle Geschichte des Budapester Judentums nach, von den Anfängen im Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart. Auch die in diesem Band versammelten literarischen und autobiographischen Texte erzählen von dieser Geschichte. Texte von György Konrád, György Dalos und Ágnes Heller stehen neben denen von heute vergessenen oder außerhalb Ungarns weniger bekannten ungarisch-jüdischen Autoren; viele der Texte erscheinen hier das erste Mal auf deutsch."

        Not Only Kobzar. The Anthology of Ukrainian literature. 1792–1883 (in two books)

        by Mykhailo Nazarenko

        Ukrainian literature of the 19th century was far more exciting and diverse than one might imagine. Mykhailo Nazarenko's anthology contains one hundred and fifty texts that are not known or very little known to the modern reader (some of them are reprinted for the first time after 150 years of oblivion). These texts help to understand Ukrainian literary movement in a wider context. The compilation starts with the "The Song of the Black Sea Army" by Anton Golovaty. This novel precedes the famous "Aeneid" and marks the beginning of the printed literature "in the contemporary Ukrainian language". "It is not time..." by Ivan Franko is the last one in the compilation and describes further evolution of the independent Ukrainian literary word. The compilation also contains fifty essays about each of the authors: why did they write in a particular that way and about what? Why did some turn out to be forgotten, while others are remembered for their works?

        Women, science, engineering and medicine in the twentieth century

        by Amelia Bonea, Irina Nastasa-Matei

        This volume brings together scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds to discuss how women contributed to the making, pedagogy, institutionalisation and communication of scientific knowledge in the twentieth century, and to reflect on the theoretical and methodological challenges of documenting such hidden contributions. Featuring examples from China, former Czechoslovakia, Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, Romania, the United Kingdom and the United States, the contributors discuss women's engagement with science across different institutional and non-institutional sites, ranging from the laboratory and the school to the clinic, the home and the media. The volume moves beyond the professional scientist model to enlarge our understanding of women's participation in twentieth-century science and document the complex combination of factors that rendered such contributions (in)visible to contemporaries and future generations.

        Roman | Eine Liebe, die nicht sein darf – und eine Frau, die endlich frei sein will

        by Nikoletta Kiss

        Nikoletta Kiss erzählt stimmungsvoll von einer intensiven Frauenfreundschaft und einem Liebesdreieck in den Wirren der Vorwendezeit – von alten Wunden und der Erfahrung, dass es für Heilung nie zu spät ist. Márta wächst im sozialistischen Budapest auf, am Plattensee, wo sie herrliche Sommer mit ihrer Cousine Theresa verbringt. Doch ohne Theresa ist es einsam, und nach ihrem Schulabschluss entflieht Márta dem trinkenden Vater und reist zu ihr nach Ost-Berlin. Die Freundin nimmt sie mit in die Welt der künstlerischen Boheme, in Hinterhauswohnungen und verrauchte Kneipen, zur Lesung des jungen, regimekritischen Schriftstellers Konstantin. Er ist umwerfend, rätselhaft, gequält. Beide verlieben sich in ihn, und natürlich ist die extrovertierte und selbstsichere Theresa die Glückliche – bis sie durch einen verhängnisvollen Umstand verhaftet wird. Zwischen den Verbliebenen entsteht eine gefährliche Nähe, ein Verrat liegt in der Luft, der Márta noch Jahrzehnte später verfolgen wird. Aber waren sie damals nicht alle gleichermaßen unschuldig? Und wird es ihr jemals gelingen, aus Theresas Schatten zu treten?
