A History of Polish Christianity
This is a single-volume history of Christianity in Poland, a subject at the core of religious history and European secular history alike. The book covers the development of Polish Christianity from the tenth century to the year 2000, placing it in the broader context of East-Central European political, social, religious and cultural history. Jewish-Christian relations, and the problematic religious history of the Jews in the region, play an important part in the story, and there are pervasive references to countries historically linked to Poland, such as Lithuania, Belarus and the Ukraine. Jerzy Kloczowski shows how the history of Poland, and Polish Christianity, are embedded in the complex systems of relations with other countries and religious denominations. A History of Polish Christianity should be read by anyone interested in the confrontation between Christianity and the totalitarian systems of the twentieth century, and in the interplay between Eastern and Western Christianity.
The Polish-Lithuanian State, 1386-1795
For four centuries, the Polish�Lithuanian state encompassed a major geographic region comparable to present-day Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Latvia, Estonia, and Romania. Governed by a constitutional monarchy that offered the numerous nobility extensive civil and political rights, it enjoyed unusual domestic tranquility, for its military strength kept most enemies at bay until the mid-seventeenth century and the country generally avoided civil wars. Selling grain and timber to western Europe helped make it exceptionally wealthy for much of the period. The Polish�Lithuanian State, 1386�1795 is the first account in English devoted specifically to this important era. It ta...

Tvůrčí překlad ve výukovém procesu na polsko-českém příkladu
Publikace vychází z materiálů shromážděných v rámci Polsko-českého a česko-polského překladatelského semináře realizovaného na Filozofické fakultě UK. Obsahuje originální i přeložené verze několika uměleckých textů (povídky, drama, reportáže) doplněné odborným komentářem shrnujícím nejčastější problémy spojené s překladem a způsob jejich řešení či nejčastější chyby a jejich analýzu. Na komentář navazují rozšiřující tematická cvičení s klíčem. Kniha je určena zejména polonistickým - šířeji slavistickým - pracovištím, ale s ohledem na obecnější ukotvení i všem dalším zájemcům o teorii, ale především praxi a didaktiku překladu.
The Lords' Jews
Rosman shows the influence of the Jews on economic, social, and political life in the Polish, Ukrainian, and Belorussian territories, and offers new perspectives on their relations with magnates. He draws on Polish, Hebrew, and Yiddish sources and literature to detail the socioeconomic development of early modern Europe's largest Jewish community.
The Political Discourse of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
This book makes a contribution to ongoing European research into the political discourse of the early modern era, analyzing the political discourse of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569–1795). The sources comprise the broadly understood political literature from the end of the sixteenth century until the end of the eighteenth century. The author has selected and analysed concepts and ideas that are particularly important for the noble political discourse, with the aim of understanding what these concepts meant for the participants in public debate, who used them, how they explained and described the world, how they allowed for the formulation of political postulates and ideals, wheth...
