Abstract

It is one of the great ironies of the history of fascism that, despite their fascination with ultra-nationalism, its adherents understood themselves as members of a transnational political movement. While a true "Fascist International" has never been established, European fascists shared common goals and sentiments as well as similar worldviews. They also drew on each other for support and motivation, even though relations among them were not free from misunderstandings and conflicts. Through a series of fascinating case studies, this expansive collection examines fascism's transnational dimension, from the movements inspired by the early example of Fascist Italy to the international antifascist organizations that emerged in subsequent years.

Abstract

Par la nature de ses fonctions aux frontières et sa militarisation partielle en temps de guerre, l’administration des douanes a été profondément marquée par les événements nationaux et internationaux qui ont jalonné la période 1914-1940 : de la Première Guerre mondiale à la veillée d’armes de 1939-1940 en passant par l’occupation de la Rhénanie et de la Rhur, la mise en œuvre de l’union douanière franco-sarroise, la guerre civile espagnole ou la reconquête douanière des zones franches du pays de Gex et de la Haute-Savoie, les douaniers n’ont cessé durant ce quart de siècle mouvementé d’être sollicités dans un monde en profonde mutation. C’est à Jean Clinquart, spécialiste incontesté de l’histoire de la Douane, qu’il revenait de nous faire découvrir comment cette administration a vécu ces bouleversements, comment elle s’est adaptée à l’évolution profonde de l’organisation et des méthodes de travail et surtout à la complexité de ses missions. Il le fait comme à son habitude en historien scrupuleux et en praticien de la matière, mettant son expérience professionnelle au service de la vérité historique.

Abstract

Cette édition présente pour la première fois les articles politiques signés par Maurice Blanchot dans l'entre-deux-guerres. Avant même d'adresser à Jean Paulhan son premier roman Thomas l'obscur (Gallimard, 1941), Blanchot était déjà l'auteur de plusieurs centaines d'articles destinés à des publications telles que La Revue Universelle, Le Journal des Débats, Le Rempart, Aux Écoutes, Combat et L'Insurgé. Véritable chronique des années trente, ces articles témoignent de la volonté de ressaisir dans l'actualité les moyens d'agir sur elle. Blanchot voudrait en finir avec la "France corrompue" et affirme, comme pour précipiter le destin des mouvements «non conformistes» de l'époque, que seule la révolution est urgente et "nécessaire". Ce volume offre aux Écrits politiques, 1953-1993 (Cahiers de La NRF, 2008), la contradiction de «l'autre Blanchot» (Michel Surya, Tel, 2015), dont le positionnement politique, pour être inverse, n'en est pas moins radical. -- Provided by publisher

Abstract

This is the first systematic study of famine in all parts of Europe from the Middle Ages until the present. In case studies ranging from Scandinavia and Italy to Ireland and Russia, leading scholars compare the characteristics, consequences and causes of famine. The famines they describe differ greatly in size, duration and context; in many cases the damage wrought by poor harvests was confounded by war. The roles of human action, malfunctioning markets and poor relief are a recurring theme. The chapters also take full account of demographic, institutional, economic, social and cultural aspects, providing a wealth of new information which is organized and analyzed within a comparative framework. Famine in European History represents a significant new contribution to demographic history, and will be of interest to all those who want to discover more about famines - truly horrific events which, for centuries, have been a recurring curse for the Europeans.

Abstract

"Zwischen 1933 und 1945 kam es in Deutschland und Österreich zu einem geschichtlich einmaligen Exodus von Künstlern. Für viele Maler, Sänger und Schriftsteller war Belgien eine wichtige Station auf ihrer Flucht vor den Nationalsozialisten. Warum mussten sie aus Deutschland und Österreich fliehen? Wie gestaltete sich ihre Flucht? Wie verhielt sich das Gastland gegenüber den nach Arbeit und Freiheit Suchenden? Wie versuchten diese, Arbeit zu finden und ihr künstlerisches Schaffen fortzusetzen? Diesen auch heute in Europa so aktuellen Fragen geht der Autor am Beispiel von Belgien nach, unserem 'kleinen Nachbarn', der in der Exilforschung bislang völlig außer Acht gelassen wurde. Anhand einer Vielzahl von bisher unveröffentlichten Briefen, Tagebüchern und Fotos zeichnet das Buch die Lebensläufe von Künstlern unterschiedlichster Couleur nach diejenigen der Schriftsteller Thomas Mann, Klaus Mann, Stefan Zweig, Joseph Roth, Egon Erwin Kisch, Irmgard Keun und Jean Améry, der Sänger und Schauspieler Joseph Schmidt und Ernst Busch, der Maler Felix Nussbaum, Leo Breuer und Karl Schwesig um nur die wichtigsten zu nennen"--Publisher's website.

Abstract

'A most valuable book.'—Christian Science MonitorFor readers of The Monuments Men and The Hare with Amber Eyes, the story of the Nazis'systematic pillaging of Europe's libraries, and the small team of heroic librarians now working to return the stolen books to their rightful owners. While the Nazi party was being condemned by much of the world for burning books, they were already hard at work perpetrating an even greater literary crime. Through extensive new research that included records saved by the Monuments Men themselves—Anders Rydell tells the untold story of Nazi book theft, as he himself joins the effort to return the stolen books. When the Nazi soldiers ransacked Europe's libraries and bookshops, large and small, the books they stole were not burned. Instead, the Nazis began to compile a library of their own that they could use to wage an intellectual war on literature and history. In this secret war, the libraries of Jews, Communists, Liberal politicians, LGBT activists, Catholics, Freemasons, and many other opposition groups were appropriated for Nazi research, and used as an intellectual weapon against their owners. But when the war was over, most of the books were never returned. Instead many found their way into the public library system, where they remain to this day. Now, Rydell finds himself entrusted with one of these stolen volumes, setting out to return it to its rightful owner. It was passed to him by the small team of heroic librarians who have begun the monumental task of combing through Berlin's public libraries to identify the looted books and reunite them with the families of their original owners. For those who lost relatives in the Holocaust, these books are often the only remaining possession of their relatives they have ever held. And as Rydell travels to return the volume he was given, he shows just how much a single book can mean to those who own it.
