    • During the years 1918 and 1919, six people in New Orleans were killed and six more injured, in their homes, in the dead of night, by an axe-wielding intruder who got away without a trace. After more than a year, the killings stopped as suddenly as they started. No trace of the murderer was ever found. Geary presents the facts and the speculations about these attacks in the third in his series on twentieth-century murder.

      • 33 ore di lettura

      Tento výkladový slovník je rozsahem i pojetím ojedinělým pokusem představit epochu středověku v celé její šíři a plasticitě. Každé z více než osmi desítek hesel je samostaným esejem. Škála témat je rozpjata od dějin všedního dne (Stravování, Sexualita, Příbuzenství) přes „klasickou“ oblast politických a ekonomických vztahů (Král, Město, Obchodníci) až k problematice dějin kultury a mentality (Obrazy, Andělé, Čarodějnictví). Editorům se podařilo získat ke spolupráci vedle předních francouzských medievalistů i odborníky německé, anglické, americké, italské, ruské i polské a vtisknout tak Encyklopedii středověku skutečně evropský rozměr.

    • Die romantische politische Philosophie des 19. Jahrhunderts versuchte, nationale Souveränitätsansprüche möglichst tief in der Geschichte zu verankern. Tatsächlich sind die Völker Europas nicht sonderlich alt: Sie sind vielmehr das Ergebnis ausgedehnter Durchmischungsprozesse, die heute keine historischen Machtansprüche legitimieren können.
