History of Carniola Volume Iv
If you would like to know the names of the royalty and learn about their castles and their holdings, you will find the information in Volume IV annotated primarily from Valvosar's writings. Fascinating facts abound including the rise and then the suppression of the Jesuits. Empress Maria Theresa accedes to the throne of the Habsburg monarchy and brings about needed changes in education, agriculture, land reform, and roads to name a few. To increase the welfare of the state, she liberated farmers from serfdom, from the pressures of statutory labor, and from urbarial taxes. The invasion of Napoleon occurred in 1797. The reforms he brought to Slovenia were long lasting.
History of Carniola Volume Iii
Religious problems continue. All Protestants are ordered to leave the country if they continue to practice the teachings of Protestantism. Dimitz relates how and why the largest peasant uprising (over 20,000 in total) took place in response to unacceptable demands placed upon them by their caretakers. In this era the Turks are finally defeated, postal service begins, hospitals are built, and roads are improved. Counter- reformation begins in the larger cities and market towns and ends under Ferdinand II.
Stauffenberg
Most of us are aware of the attempt to assassinate Hitler but few know about those behind it. In this family history Peter Hoffmann reveals the tragic and heroic life of Claus, Count Stauffenberg, South German aristocrat and would-be assassin of Adolph Hitler. He details Stauffenberg's formative years, showing how his relationship with his brothers Berthold and Alexander, their association with the circle of the poet Stefan George, and their professional and political development led them to resist the tyranny of Hitler And the German government, first through established channels but culminating in the attempted assassination and coup of 20 July 1944. Stauffenberg is based on the most comprehensive collection of sources yet used, including family papers, correspondence, and information from numerous contemporaries, and includes a unique collection of illustrative material. This new edition includes important information Hoffmann has discovered since the book was first published.
