Im Schatten des Zweiten Weltkriegs versuchte die kroatische Ustasa-Bewegung, gewaltsam einen ethnisch homogenen Nationalstaat zu schaffen. Die Zerschlagung Jugoslawiens durch die Wehrmacht versetzte die Ustasa in die Lage, ein Terrorregime zu etablieren, das sich vornehmlich gegen Serben, Juden und Roma richtete.

This volume presents a generous selection of the best and most well-known poetry in English and American Literature, from the 16th to the 20th Century. Enjoyed by readers and students across the world, these poems constitute the classics of English language poetry, while also representing poets who have not officially been part of the "canon" until more recently. A variety of genres and forms of poetry are represented, from the traditional English 14-line sonnet to various free forms of modernist poetry, such as minimalism and imagism. Among the authors included are Shakespeare (of course!), Donne, Shelley, Keats, Whitman, Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Stein, Yeats, Frost, William Carlos Williams, and so many more. Organized alphabetically by author, the volume makes it easy for readers to find the poets they already know and love, while also allowing them to browse for names they may have heard of but not explored much. Either way, these mostly short lyric poems inspire, comfort, challenge, and allow readers to both escape from daily life and also reflect deeply on history, nature, love, war, death and the human condition.
