La Polonia è fra gli stati europei quello che ha vissuto, dall’età moderna ad oggi, l’esistenza più travagliata. Schiacciato fra due colossi, il russo e il tedesco, cancellato per due volte dalla carta politica e per due volte risorto dalle proprie ceneri e da quelle di un continente sconvolto dai conflitti mondiali che la designarono teatro delle più gravi catastrofi umane della storia recente, ricostituito entro nuove frontiere, ha recuperato la stabilità a prezzo della propria autonomia politica. Soltanto nell’ultimo ventennio, facendo appello alla determinazione e al coraggio di tutte le sue forze sociali e intellettuali, ha riconquistato la piena indipendenza con la dissoluzione del sistema geopolitico alla cui crisi ha dato un contributo decisivo. Questo libro ripercorre le tappe salienti della sua storia, dall’epoca del suo apogeo politico ed economico e della marginalizzazione che seguì la sua decadenza, fino al momento della sua reintegrazione a pieno titolo nel consesso dell’Unione Europea.

Interprete acclamata di oltre cento pièce, prima regista donna in Polonia negli anni tra i due conflitti mondiali, traduttrice di Ibsen e Bataille in yiddish, direttrice e amministratrice dell’unico teatro yiddish al mondo retto su finanziamenti statali, Ida Kaminska è stata tra i pochi artisti a fare da ponte tra la prima e la seconda metà del xx secolo, lottando per ricostruire la vita culturale e spirituale del popolo ebraico dopo il suo feroce sradicamento. Muovendo dall’avventura pionieristica di Avrom Kaminski e Ester Rokhl Halpern alla fine dell’Ottocento il volume traccia un itinerario che incrocia altre leggendarie dinastie artistiche, quali i Turkow e i Rotbaum, ma ha per fulcro il teatro poetico e intimamente narrativo di Ida, culmine di un progetto che ha abbracciato un secolo e tre continenti. Attraverso queste pagine il lettore potrà accostarsi alla sua biografia d’attrice e in particolare alla genesi di due spettacoli da lei diretti e interpretati: la popolare commedia yiddish Mirele Efros e un’inedita e anti-brechtiana Madre Coraggio. Creazioni in cui Ida incarna la figura fragile e agguerrita della idishe mame: presenza luminosa nel paesaggio dello Yiddishland e archetipo di una natura melodrammatica nutrita di pietà.

Nella storia i campi di concentramento sono serviti per demolire ciò che doveva essere, per convertire le volontà, per annichilire l'essere umano nel corpo e nella personalità. Insomma, si è trattato «di costruire un'umanità riunificata e purificata, non antagonista». In questo modo, «da una logica di lotta politica si scivola presto verso una logica di esclusione, quindi verso una ideologia dell'eliminazione e [...] dello sterminio di tutti gli elementi impuri», oppure della loro rieducazione e del loro controllo. I campi per civili (di internamento, di concentramento, di sterminio) sono un prodotto della politica che si fa totalitaria, dispotica, violenta, padrona, manifestando la volontà di dominare la storia, per accelerarla, deviarla, modificarla, indirizzarla. Sono politica oscena, che cerca il trionfo anche nella carne e nel sangue. Sono il paradigma biopolitico della modernità. Infatti, è con la modernità che la violenza politica si esprime in forme sempre più degradanti dell'essere umano in quanto tale. Questo saggio affronta il tema della politica dell'esclusione dove il corpo dell'individuo, del nemico, diventa la posta in gioco delle strategie politiche

Australia is the last continent to be settled by Europeans, but it also sustains a people and a culture tens of thousands of years old. For much of the past 200 years the newcomers have sought to replace the old with the new. This book tells how they imposed themselves on the land, and brought technology, institutions and ideas to make it their own. It relates the advance from penal colony to a prosperous free nation and illustrates how, in a nation created by waves of newcomers, the search for binding traditions has long been frustrated by the feeling of rootlessness. This revised edition incorporates the most recent historical research and contemporary historical debates on frontier violence between European settlers and Aborigines and the Stolen Generations. It covers the Sydney Olympics, the refugee crisis and the 'Pacific solution'. More than ever before, Australians draw on the past to understand their future.

John Hawkwood was fourteenth-century Italy's most notorious and successful soldier. A man known for cleverness and daring, he was the most feared mercenary in Renaissance Italy. Born in England, Hawkood began his career in France during the Hundred Years' War and crossed into Italy with the famed White Company in 1361. From that time until his death in 1394, Hawkwood fought throughout the peninsula as a captain of armies in times of war and as a commander of marauding bands during times of peace. He achieved international fame, and his acquaintances included such prominent people as Geoffrey Chaucer, Catherine of Siena, Jean Froissart, and Francis Petrarch. City-states constantly tried to outbid each other for his services, for which he received money, land, and in the case of Florence, citizenship -- a most unusual honor for an Englishman. When Hawkwood died, the Florentines buried him with great ceremony in their cathedral, an honor denied their greatest poet, Dante. His final resting place, however, is disputed. Historian William Caferro's ambitious account of Hawkwood is both a biography and a study of warfare and statecraft. Caferro has mined more than twenty archives in England and Italy, creating an authoritative portrait of Hawkwood as an extraordinary military leader, if not always an admirable human being. Caferro's Hawkwood possessed a talent for dissimulation and craft both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table, and, ironically, managed to gain a reputation for "honesty" while beating his Italian hosts at their own game of duplicity and manipulation. In addition to a thorough account of Hawkwood's life and career, Caferro's study offers a fundamental reassessment of the Italian military situation and of the mercenary system. Hawkwood's career is treated not in isolation but firmly within the context of Italian society, against the backdrop of unfolding crises: famine, plague, popular unrest, and religious schism. Indeed, Hawkwood's life and career offer a unique vantage point from which we can study the economic, social, and political impacts of war. -- John France

Winner of the National Jewish Book Award in the Holocaust category A monumental work of nonfiction on a wartime atrocity, its sixty-year denial, and the impact of its truth Jan Gross's hugely controversial Neighbors was a historian's disclosure of the events in the small Polish town of Jedwabne on July 10, 1941, when the citizens rounded up the Jewish population and burned them alive in a barn. The massacre was a shocking secret that had been suppressed for more than sixty years, and it provoked the most important public debate in Poland since 1989. From the outset, Anna Bikont reported on the town, combing through archives and interviewing residents who survived the war period. Her writing became a crucial part of the debate and she herself an actor in a national drama. Part history, part memoir, The Crime and the Silence is the journalist's account of these events: both the story of the massacre told through oral histories of survivors and witnesses, and a portrait of a Polish town coming to terms with its dark past. Including the perspectives of both heroes and perpetrators, Bikont chronicles the sources of the hatred that exploded against Jews and asks what myths grow on hidden memories, what destruction they cause, and what happens to a society that refuses to accept a horrific truth. A profoundly moving exploration of being Jewish in modern Poland that Julian Barnes called "one of the most chilling books," The Crime and the Silence is a vital contribution to Holocaust history and a fascinating story of a town coming to terms with its dark past.

During the most recent conference of the Renaissance Society of America, two sessions were devoted entirely to the Renaissance in Poland. In fifty-nine editions of what is considered the most prestigious international appointment for experts of Renaissance culture, this is the first time that characteristic features of sixteenth-century Poland were the subject of analysis and debate. The interest generated at the conference and the academic value of the contributions convinced the organisers of the panels to ask the speakers to develop and revise their contributions to conform with the conventions of the academic article. The result is a selection of essays that pursue specific pathways in exploring the cultural factors that affected the Renaissance in Poland: influences and originality in Polish literary and artistic production, orthodoxy and dissidence, the circulation of thought and reflection on the Res Publica in the spheres of both politics and philosophy. Adopting a distinctly interdisciplinary approach, the aim of this publication is to focus certain aspects of the Polish Renaissance and the cultural identity of sixteenth-century Poland in relation to the European context.

The extraordinary, controversial story of Vera Gran, beautiful, exotic prewar Polish singing star; legendary, sensual contralto, Dietrich-like in tone, favorite of the 1930s Warsaw nightclubs, celebrated before, and during, her year in the Warsaw Ghetto (spring 1941–summer 1942) . . . and her piano accompanist: W³adys³aw Szpilman, made famous by Roman Polanski’s Oscar-winning film The Pianist, based on Szpilman’s memoir. Following the war, singer and accompanist, each of whom had lived the same harrowing story, were met with opposing fates: Szpilman was celebrated for his uncanny ability to survive against impossible odds, escaping from a Nazi transport loading site, smuggling in weapons to the Warsaw Ghetto for the Jewish resistance. Gran was accused of collaborating with the Nazis; denounced as a traitor, a “Gestapo whore,” reviled, imprisoned, ultimately exonerated yet afterward still shunned as a performer . . . in effect, sentenced to death without dying . . . until she was found by Agata Tuszyñska, acclaimed poet and biographer of, among others, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Nobel laureate (“Her book has few equals”—The Times Literary Supplement). Tuszyñska, who won the trust of the once-glamorous former singer, then living in a basement in Paris—elderly, bitter, shut away from the world—encouraged Gran to tell her story, including her seemingly inexplicable decision to return to Warsaw to be reunited with her family after she had fled Hitler’s invading army, knowing she would have to live within the ghetto walls and, to survive, continue to perform at the popular Café Sztuka. At the heart of the book, Gran’s complex, fraught relationship with her accompanist, performing together month after month, for the many who came from within the ghetto and outside its walls to hear her sing. Using Vera Gran’s reflections and memories, as well as archives, letters, statements, and interviews with Warsaw Ghetto historians and survivors, Agata Tuszyñska has written an explosive, resonant portrait of lives lived inside a nightmare time, exploring the larger, more profound question of the nature of collaboration, of the price of survival, and of the long, treacherous shadow cast in its aftermath.
