"The core of the book is a critical edition of an unpublished reportage of Jan Vinař from his 1959 trip to Tibet called Tibet - A Country where People Have Leaped a Thousand Years Forward. Vinař's text was never published officially (there are only fifteen copies of a samizdat edition printed in 1983 in Zurich) and today it can be considered an important documentary material of the given historical period. The reportage written in 1960 echoes the official Chinese narrative of Tibetan history and social development and his views reflect the Chinese interpretation of the March 1959 uprising. The book is accompanied by so far unpublished photographic material from the 1959 journalist expedition to Tibet and scholarly commentary by editors to the original text in the form of footnotes and several studies clarifying certain aspects of the topic and the historical and political context. Kamila Hladíková describes the clash of Chinese and Tibetan narratives explaining recent Tibetan history, mainly regarding the occupation of Tibetan-inhabited territories by the PLA in 1950-1951 and the legitimization of the regime after 1959. Luboš Bělka provides detailed biography of Jan Vinař and explains the historical background of the decade between 1950 and 1959 in Tibet, analyzes the texts published by other visitors to Tibet in that time and introduces the phenomenon known in Tibetan language as thamzing, or struggle sessions."-- Provided by publisher.

The publication brings a critical edition of Latin and Italian correspondence from the court of the Holy Roman Kings or Emperors Wenceslas (1376-1400/1419) and Sigismund (1410/1411-1437), preserved in the archives of the Gonzaga family in Mantua. The edition contains 52 documents, including letters and mandates of the two Luxembourg monarchs and their officials, but most importantly dispatches sent by Gonzaga envoys from the imperial court to Italy. The individual sources shed new light on Wenceslas and Sigismund as rulers and offer a vivid insight into the life of the court, the practice of diplomacy and the everyday life of travel. In addition, they provide an interesting picture of Bohemian and German lands in the Late Middle Ages from the perspective of Italian observers. Publikace přináší kritickou edici latinské a italské korespondence ze dvora římských králů, respektive císařů Václava (1376-1400/1419) a Zikmunda (1410/1411-1437), dochované v archivu rodu Gonzagů v Mantově. Edice obsahuje 52 dokumentů, mezi nimiž jsou listy a mandáty obou lucemburských vládců a jejich úředníků, ale především depeše, které gonzagovští vyslanci posílali z panovnického dvora do Itálie. Jednotlivé prameny vrhají nové světlo na Václava a Zikmunda jakožto panovníky a nabízejí plastický vhled do života dvora, praxe diplomacie a cestovní každodennosti. Kromě toho podávají zajímavý obraz českých a německých zemí v pozdním středověku z pohledu italských pozorovatelů.
