Napisana z rozmachem panoramiczna powieść historyczna nagrodzona National Book Award „Chcecie wiedzieć, dlaczego Europa zachorowała na totalitaryzm? Tu jest odpowiedź”. Joanna Bator „W 37 historiach, których bohaterami są dyktatorzy, ich generałowie i towarzyszki życia, artyści i rewolucjoniści, Vollmann ukazał piekło fanatyzmu i tragedię XX wieku. Centrala Europa, jedno z najwybitniejszych dokonań nie tylko autora, ale też tłumacza Jędrzeja Polaka, to dzieło monumentalne i wspaniałe, popis pisarskiej wirtuozerii.

Elephant on the Moon is a richly illustrated tale of courage, passion and determination. Although it is directed mainly at younger readers, it refers to serious events. Sir Paul Neal in the seventeenth century - one of the astronomers of the Royal Society - is supposed to have been the first to observe an elephant on the moon. At the time, his discovery provoked much confusion and fired the imaginations of many writers. Thanks to Samuel Butler's satirical account, the story reached France. Fontaine himself wrote a tale about it - 'Un animal dans la lune'.
The sixties were a decade of major reform in the guidance of industry in the socialist countries of Eastern Europe. In this comparative study of industrial management, the different directions taken by reform in the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, and Yugoslavia are examined against the pattern shown by Romania, a country in which no significant reform has occurred.

Those interviewed were mainly middle and upper managers of enterprises, but also include officials of ministries, planning commissions, b...
