Beschreibung

Eighteen years have passed since ten countries from Central & Eastern Europe joined the European Union and more than three decades since the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989 - but ignorance about what is popularly still called Eastern Europe is as widespread as ever. Slovenia still gets mixed up with Slovakia, the Slavs remain a mystery in a Europe apparently dominated by Romanic and Germanic nations and a country like the Czech Republic is labelled as Eastern European, although one needs to travel west to get from Vienna to Prague.
First published in 2009 under the title What's so eastern about Eastern Europe?, this book is much more than a revised and updated version of the first edition. Its presentation of the political and cultural history of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, written in an accessible language is now complemented with recent developments in the region. The new edition digs into the reasons behind the illiberal turn in Poland, Hungary and elsewhere, putting the alleged democratic backslide into the wider context of European populism. Leon Marc offers a new and fresh perspective in explaining the roots of populism and social conservatism in the region, which the book sees in a mixture of historical factors, economic conditions, the heavy burden of Communist legacy, as well as a reaction to contemporary social developments in the West. Drawing on a wide range of literature, the book calls for more sensibility to these underlying causes, critical examination of the true European values, and for a coalition of defenders of Humanism and Judeo-Christian tradition as key pillars of its identity, in order to save Europe and its liberal democracy.
This updated and expanded edition contains a brand new chapter bringing this book up to date with recent events, including Covid-19 and the Ukrainian conflict.

    It Did Happen Here - A History...

    Jeronimo Herodotease

    In this satirical alternative history, Professor Jeronimo Herodotease and his team of documentary filmmakers and reenactors revivify the dark days of the Grim Depression and Amerika's descent into dictatorship. In the chaos and strife that followed the assassination of President-elect Frankie van Rosenvelt, General Jackson and a cadre of Forcist-minded cockroaches swarmed the stage, gnawed away at democratic norms, and declared martial law under the guise of restoring "Law and Order." Minorities and illegal aliens were scapegoated for the nation's woes, and dissenters daring to oppose the regime found themselves attacked by the Faux Outlet for News and Entertainment, whisked away to detention camps, or forced into exile. In retelling the stories of radicals and reactionaries, statesmen and demagogues, cultural producers and political censors, Herodotease reveals a polarized Amerika not unlike that of our own contentious age. Woven into the fabric of the narrative are a plethora of vintage photographs, historical artifacts, and propaganda art, all courtesy of The Wolfsonian–Florida International University. While included with the aim of bringing the persons and events of the 1930s back to life, many of these illustrations have been purposefully manipulated or supplied with deliberately deceptive descriptions to challenge those persons who believe everything they see, to think again. In this era of Facebook fakes, misinformation, and disinformation, unless we remain ever vigilant, it can happen here!

    AMERICA AT WAR & THE GEMINI...

    A warning grounded in history—and the cosmic rhythms that shape it. 
    The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger, by Jesús Cediel, is a sharp, provocative essay about the crisis unfolding in the United States and its echoes across the world. His central claim is clear: America is entering a historical phase that has, time and again, marked the beginning of revolutions, civil wars, and global realignments. 
    J. Cediel argues that the United States is entering a new historical cycle between 2025 and 2033—a period that mirrors three previous moments of profound upheaval, all of which coincided with a striking astronomical and astrological pattern: the transit of Uranus through Gemini. 
    • the American Revolution (1774–1782) 
    • the Civil War (1858–1866) 
    • and World War II (1941–1949) 
    The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger uses a compelling narrative style to expose the structural fractures—political, social, economic, and geopolitical—that now threaten to break the United States from within. 
    🔹 How Trump’s reelection could ignite mass resistance and institutional breakdown 
    🔹 How internal conflict could lead to the secession of key states and global destabilization 
    🔹 How China, Russia, and Iran would exploit a divided America 
    🔹 Why this next cycle—2025 to 2033—could be as transformative and violent as those before 
    The Verne Code & The Gemini Trigger is a rigorous historical analysis, backed by the rhythm of past collapses and the cycles of celestial mechanics, written with urgency and clarity. 
    For readers who sense that something is coming—but want to understand the why, the when, and the deeper historical and cosmic patterns behind it.
