'Fascinating, masterful ... gems scattered throughout the book'
Peter Frankopan, Spectator'Quirkily original but also scholarly and
authoritative, to be read for pleasure and serious reflection'
Telegraph*The dramatic history of Europe's shape-shifting centre,
from the author of The Habsburgs*Central Europe is not just a space
on a map but also a region of shared experience - of mutual
borrowings, impositions and misapprehensions. From the Roman Empire
onwards, it has been the target of invasion from the east.In the
Middle Ages, Central Europeans cast their eastern foes as 'the
dogmen'. They would later become the Turks, Swedes, Russians and
Soviets, all of whom pulled the region apart and remade it
according to their own vision. Competition among Europe's Middle
Kingdoms yielded repeated cultural effervescences.This was the
first home of the High Renaissance outside Italy, the cradle of the
Reformation, the starting point of the Enlightenment, Romanticism,
the symphony and modern nationalism. It was a permanent
battleground too for religious and political ideas. Most recent
histories of Central Europe confine themselves to the lands in
between Germany and Russia, homing in on Poland, Hungary, and what
is now the Czech Republic.This new history embraces the whole of
Central Europe, including the German lands as well as Ukraine and
Switzerland. The story of Europe's Middle Kingdoms is a reminder of
Central Europe's precariousness, of its creativity and turbulence,
and of the common cultural trends that make these lands so
distinctive.

Britt-Marie je vraj pasívne agresívna... Pche, také klamstvo! Keby
ľudia neboli neporiadni, nerobili by špinu a škrabance, ONA by
nemusela kričať! Ale to je už jedno. Britt práve ukončila svoje
40-ročné manželstvo a odmietla byť ďalej ženou v domácnosti.
Koniec! Začne nanovo v Borgu! Ibaže Borg zasiahla finančná kríza
tak silno, že tu okrem jednej smradľavej pizzérie nič neostalo.
Teda až na... futbal. Tomu ale Britt-Marie vôbec nerozumie. Deti z
Borgu však trénera zúfalo potrebujú, a tak vezmú naozaj
kohokoľvek... To, že Britt to miesto nechce, ich vlastne vôbec
nezaujíma. Lenže keď ju pozve na rande miestny policajt a ešte si
nechtiac v soláriu zlomí ruku, zdá sa, že osud má s Britt v Borgu
predsa len svoje plány. Preložila Mária Bratová
