House of the Deaf Man
Alfonz Trnovsky, a genial and respected general practitioner in Breany, a small (fictitious) town in western Slovakia, spent his whole life pretending to be radiantly happy and contented, while the reality was quite different. He turned a deaf ear to his conscience as the 20th century hurtled by: four political regimes, the Holocaust, the political trials of the 1950s, the secret police before and after the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia...and the women he loved. But whose are the bones his son accidentally stumbles on buried in the garden? As he sets out to unravel this mystery, the son discovers other skeletons in his father's cupboard. His quest includes a detour to the Prado in Madrid, where the father's favourite Goya paintings, the Black Series, are now exhibited after being removed from the walls of its original location, known as the Casa del Sordo (House of the Deaf Man).
Der Braumüller Verlag und seine Zeit
Am Vorabend der französischen Revolution sucht der aus Salzburg stammende Johann Ritter von Mösle in Wien um eine Konzession für ein Verlags- und Sortimentsgeschäft an, die er am 26. März 1783 auch erhält. Das ist der Beginn einer mittlerweile 235-jährigen Verlagsgeschichte. Aber wie wurde eines der ältesten österreichischen Verlagshäuser zum Braumüller Verlag, wie man ihn heute kennt? Natürlich durch die Bücher, die in dieser langen Zeit verlegt wurden: von der Bäder-Bibliothek bis zu naturwissenschaftlichen Standardwerken, von Flugschriften der 1848er-Revolution bis zu Geschlecht und Charakter von Otto Weininger und zum Untergang des Abendlandes von Oswald Spengler, von Regalmetern an Schulbüchern bis zum Kaffeebuch der Jetztzeit ... Bernd Schuchter versucht in einer kleinen Verlagschronik einen essayistischen Spaziergang nicht nur durch die Verlagskataloge der letzten zweihundert Jahre, sondern begibt sich auch auf die Spur der gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche der jeweiligen Zeiten, deren Spiegel der Literaturbetrieb immer schon war – und natürlich gerät ein solches Buch zu einem Lob auf das Handwerk des Büchermachens.

Nationalisms in the European Arena
This book explores how the multiplicity of nationalist parties across the European Union have embraced or refused the process of European integration and made it a platform for transnational coordination in the European arena. The author analyzes how opposing pro-European minority nationalist parties and Eurosceptic populist nationalist parties have diversely politicized European integration over the past three decades and engage in different patterns of Europeanization. Tracing their divergent trajectories of transnational coordination, the book examines the common challenges these opposing nationalist party families face and their systematic fragmentation in the European arena. The book of...
