Synopsis

"Living in Greece" offers an illuminating exploration of contemporary Greek society, delving deep into the intricate balance between ancient traditions and modern European life. This comprehensive guide goes far beyond tourist perspectives to reveal how Greece's unique position at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa has shaped its complex cultural identity.

 
The book masterfully demonstrates how seemingly contradictory elements - tradition and modernity, chaos and order - actually form the essential fabric of Greek society. Through a thoughtfully structured approach, the book progresses from practical considerations like housing and healthcare to deeper cultural insights about social relationships and business practices.

 
Drawing from demographic data, sociological studies, and firsthand accounts, it provides readers with both practical guidance and scholarly understanding. Particularly fascinating is the examination of how classical heritage continues to influence contemporary Greek life, from daily social customs to broader cultural patterns.

 
The work stands out for its balanced treatment of complex topics, addressing everything from regional variations in customs to the challenges of cultural adaptation. Whether discussing the impact of economic crises or the nuances of social etiquette, the book maintains an objective stance while offering valuable insights for potential residents, business professionals, and students of Mediterranean cultures. This combination of practical advice and cultural analysis makes it an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand or integrate into modern Greek society.

Hidden in Berlin - A Holocaust...

Anonyme

Lilo and Ernst survived the horrors of WWII in the center of Berlin, but not without help.  
An incredible tale of survival and kindness. 
Lilo was just a teenager when the Nazis took away her mother and father in September 1942. She never saw them again. A year later, she received another painful blow when her brother Hans was taken too. She was now alone at 19-years-old in a dangerous and brutal world. Until she heard one familiar voice that called her name, and saved her life.Meanwhile, her boyfriend Ernst was hiding in a small room with his parents, doing all he could to ensure their survival, even when violent explosions and the possibility of exposure threatened to take their lives. They remained hidden for 27 months, but sadly it was only Ernst and his mother who emerged from the shelter after the war. Ernst and Lilo eventually marry, re-locate to America, create a new life, and have a daughter who is the author of this book. 
This deeply saddening yet touching memoir is not only about the horrific Nazi regime and how it affected both Lilo and Ernst but it is also a memoir to recognize and thank the heroic people who put themselves in danger to save their lives. Without them, we wouldn’t have the opportunity to read their important story.

Portugal and Slovakia in...

Pieter C. van Duin, Zuzana...

This book is a contribution to European comparative history involving Portugal and Slovakia, but also the larger geographic units of Iberia and Slavic Central Europe. While developments in Portugal and Slovakia predominate, Spain, the Czech lands, and other regions are discussed as well. The subjects investigated include the position of women and the activities of messianic thinkers in the seventeenth century as well as semi-fascist Catholic political movements in the twentieth century. The authors look at the subject matter from the viewpoint of politics, social phenomena, and culture. The cultural dimension includes religion and ideology, both of which have clearly been of critical importance in Portuguese and Slovak history. It also includes problems of ethno-linguistic and national identity and the more recent phenomenon of multiculturalism, whose social promotion is controversial and uncertain.

This comparative study by Zuzana Poláčková and Peter C. van Duin, a collection of essays, is a revelation, especially for students of European authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, and, furthermore, anybody interested in European history."

—Josette Baer, Professor, UZH University of Zurich

This book gives proof to Cicero’s dictum: "Historia magistra vitae est"—without knowledge of the past we cannot build a sustainable future. Thanks to the authors for this great contribution to knowledge!"

—Lucia Mokrá, Professor of International Law, Comenius University, Bratislava

This collection of essays provides not only fascinating insights into the political workings of these two small states, but of the workings of politics in the larger Iberian / Slavic context. Highly recommended."

—Dr. David Reichardt, International Relations, Webster University, Saint-Louis, Missouri

A very important contribution to the study of the comparative history of Europe, and therefore I fully recommend its publication."

—Mgr. Juraj Marušiak, PhD. Institute of Political Science, public research institution, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovak Republic
