Spanish language edition of Lonely Planet's Romania & Bulgaria

This latest volume in the acclaimed Oxford History of Modern Europe series looks at the collapse of Communist power which has once again focused attention on the processes of nation-building in central and eastern Europe. In this comprehensive study, Keith Hitchins focuses on how Rumania's political and intellectual elites attempted to establish an independent state before the advent of Communist rule in 1947. It traces the efforts of the country's leaders to create the institutions of a modern state, to "Europeanize" without losing national identity, and to find ways of preserving independence in the international political and economic order dominated by the great powers. In his study, Hitchins emphasizes how Rumania's past history is essential to a clear understanding of its complex present and future.

Idioma/Language: Español. En Noruega, una mujer latinoamericana que enseña el idioma local a inmigrantes se encuentra sumida en una fuerte depresión. Adicta a los calmantes y al alcohol, ha sido dada de baja laboral y encuentra pocos motivos para salir de su departamento. Su estado preocupa mucho a su amigo Mihail, un exalumno de origen rumano que ha intentado mantenerla a flote. Sin embargo, Mihail debe viajar pronto a Rumanía y teme que lo peor ocurra en su ausencia, por lo que decide llevar consigo a su antigua profesora. Así, la anónima protagonista de esta novela viaja a un país que le resulta completamente desconocido. A su llegada, ve a su atento exalumno transformarse en un hombre pragmático y malhumorado que intercambia dinero y documentos con individuos ariscos; conoce a su familia, la mayoría sumida en la nostalgia por aquellos que han migrado en busca de un mejor sustento; viaja por pueblos sumidos en la penumbra o ciudades que combinan el neón con moles de concreto y la añoranza por un pasado imperial hace tiempo perdido. En este viaje, la profesora de idiomas no solo logrará sortear la incomunicación en la que la sumerge una lengua completamente ajena, sino que se confrontará directamente con la muerte: con su presencia, la idea de su inminencia y, también, con las maneras que las personas de este mundo han encontrado para lidiar con ella. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

The Lesser of Two Evils describes the quandary and fate of the two million Eastern European Jews following the infamous Ribbentrop-Molotov pact of August 1939, which divided the regions of Eastern Poland, the Baltics, and eastern Rumania between Nazi Germany and the USSR. The Jews in these areas were thus faced with deciding who was the “lesser of two evils”—the Soviets or the Nazis.

Throughout much of the Middle Ages, Eastern Europe-the Balkans, Russia, Rumania and the land on either side of the Danube--was affected by Byzantine political and cultural influence. From the barbarian invasions to the Middle Ages, this is an illuminating read that demystifies the Balkans.

A Bilingual EditionBorn in Czernowitz―the capital of the Bukovina (now part of the Ukraine and Rumania)―in 1920, Paul Celan is now recognized as one of the great poets of the 20th century. Threadsuns, originally published as Fadensonnen in 1968, two years before Celan’s suicide by drowning, continues Green Integer’s commitment to publish the last great works of Celan as translated by the noted poet and critic Pierre Joris.One of Paul Celan’s most important books of poems, Threadsuns follows the Green Integer press publication of Breathturn, which received international critical acclaim. Consisting of 105 poems, arranged in five cycles, Threadsuns was composed between September 1965 and June 1967. If Breathturn was the opening gambit of Celan’s “turn,” the entry into the late work, then Threadsuns―the volume that may have received the least amount of commentary and analysis to date―may be said to be not only an extension or continuation of the previous volume, but the full-blown realization of Celan’s late work.Poet, translator and essayist Pierre Joris is the author of Poasis: Selected Poems 1986-1999, and A Nomad Poetics (essays) and co-editor (with Jerome Rothenberg) of the award-winning Poems for the Millennium anthologies. Translations include books by Maurice Blanchot, Tristan Tzara, Rilke, Edmond Jabès, Habib Tengour and Abdelwahab Meddeb, among others. He teaches poetry and poetics at SUNY-Albany. During fall of 2003 he was Berlin Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin.

This is a European classic. Set in Rumania, Austria, Germany and Italy between the last century's world wars, this is a novel of great beauty about men and the histories that define them. Our hero tells of his childhood: his passion for hunting, his love of the wild landscape of Rumania, his ridiculous social snobbery. He leads us through his youth, and between fantastic and colourful stories of Bucharest in the late twenties and early thirties, he dissects his own complicated, at times agonizing, development as a moral creature. We are with him as the Nazis take over Austria; as his own anti-semitism - already such a mixture of belief, caprice and compromise - is shaken to its core. And later on, we meet him as a much older man, one haunted by his own protean character, by the beautiful, but tragic web of memories and events that together form history, and by the greatest love of his life, a beautiful Jewess. 'Here is a work that tackles - without reproof, without illusions, and without shallow moral judgements; by turns engaged and detached, funny and sad, tender and heartless - the phenomenon of anti-Semitism...the tragedy that changed the face of Europe and the world' - Bruce Chatwin.
