Remapping Persian Literary History, 1700-1900
Integrating forgotten tales of literary communities across Iran, Afghanistan and South Asia - at a time when Islamic empires were fracturing and new state formations were emerging - this book offers a more global understanding of Persian literary culture in the 18th and 19th centuries. It challenges the manner in which Iranian nationalism has infilitrated Persian literary history writing and recovers the multi-regional breadth and vibrancy of a global lingua franca connecting peoples and places across Islamic Eurasia. Focusing on 3 case studies (18th-century Isfahan, a small court in South India and the literary climate of the Anglo-Afghan war), it reveals the literary and cultural ties that bound this world together as well as some of the trends that broke it apart.
Cizinec na pláži
LUXUSNÍ DŮM NA PLÁŽI, JEDNA ŽENA MEZI DVĚMA MUŽI... A VRAŽDA Caroline Starková má úžasný nový dům na pláži, ideální pro pořádání nákladných večírků a dovolených se svou rodinou. Ale její muž je lhář a všechno v jejím životě je momentálně vzhůru nohama. Když se na párty, na které se Caroline veřejně pohádá s manželem, objeví jako barman neznámý muž jménem Aidan, nikomu to nepřipadá nijak zvláštní. Carolinino manželství se hroutí a přepychový život, na kterém si zakládala, se začíná rozpadat. Útěchu a zároveň pomstu hledá zhrzená žena v Aidanově náručí. Z krátkého a zoufalého románku, který pro ni neznamenal nic, zato pro něj všechno, se ale náhle stává děsivá noční můra, v níž jde o život. Kdo manipuluje kým v téhle smrtící hře plné vášně, chorobné posedlosti a snahy o ovládnutí toho druhého? Kdo na sebe vezme vinu, když dojde k vraždě? A jaké tajemství skrývá samotná Caroline...?
The Master Plan
An incisive narrative history of the Islamic State, from the 2005 master plan to reestablish the Caliphate to its quest for Final Victory in 2020 Given how quickly its operations have achieved global impact, it may seem that the Islamic State materialized suddenly. In fact, al-Qaeda’s operations chief, Sayf al-Adl, devised a seven-stage plan for jihadis to conquer the world by 2020 that included reestablishing the Caliphate in Syria between 2013 and 2016. Despite a massive schism between the Islamic State and al-Qaeda, al-Adl’s plan has proved remarkably prescient. In summer 2014, ISIS declared itself the Caliphate after capturing Mosul, Iraq—part of stage five in al-Adl’s plan. Drawing on large troves of recently declassified documents captured from the Islamic State and its predecessors, counterterrorism expert Brian Fishman tells the story of this organization’s complex and largely hidden past—and what the master plan suggests about its future. Only by understanding the Islamic State’s full history—and the strategy that drove it—can we understand the contradictions that may ultimately tear it apart.

Civilizations of Ancient Iraq
In Civilizations of Ancient Iraq, Benjamin and Karen Foster tell the fascinating story of ancient Mesopotamia from the earliest settlements ten thousand years ago to the Arab conquest in the seventh century. Accessible and concise, this is the most up-to-date and authoritative book on the subject. With illustrations of important works of art and architecture in every chapter, the narrative traces the rise and fall of successive civilizations and peoples in Iraq over the course of millennia--from the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians to the Persians, Seleucids, Parthians, and Sassanians. Ancient Iraq was home to remarkable achievements. One of the birthplaces of civilization, it saw the w...
Mosul after Islamic State
The book examines the destruction of the architectural heritage in Mosul perpetrated by Islamic State between 2014 and 2017. It identifies which structures were attacked, the ideological rationale behind the destruction, and the significance of the lost monuments in the context of Mosul’s urban development and the architectural history of the Middle East. This methodologically innovative work fills an important gap in the study of both current radical movements and the medieval Islamic architecture of Northern Iraq.
