Mohnblumenzeit
Als Panzerketten kreischend neben ihnen zum Stehen kommen, weiß der versprengte Soldat Hannes: für ihn und seinen Freund Ludwig ist der Krieg vorüber. Wirklich? Im britischen Gefangenenlager Salisham geht der Naziterror unbeirrt weiter. Hannes, im zivilen Leben Apotheker, flickt im Camplazarett reihenweise misshandelte Andersdenkende zusammen. Wer steht wo? Ein paar unvaterländische Briefe geraten in die Hände der Briten geraten und das Leben zwischen den Fronten wird gefährlich. Physically and emotionally maimed, Lord Sandwell returns home from the front to find his wife Ernestine completely altered by her service on the Home Front. To make matters worse, the War Office appoints him to be the commandant of a POW camp. When a lynched body dangles in front of his office window, Sandwell realises that he must be more than a prison keeper. He and Ernestine set out on a mission to save the infantrymen from the grip of the German officers. Just as the Sandwells begin to thin
A Social History of Twentieth- Century Europe
A Social History of Twentieth-Century Europe offers a systematic overview on major aspects of social life, including population, family and households, social inequalities and mobility, the welfare state, work, consumption and leisure, social cleavages in politics, urbanization as well as education, religion and culture. It also addresses major debates and diverging interpretations of historical and social research regarding the history of European societies in the past one hundred years. Organized in ten thematic chapters, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach, making use of the methods and results of not only history, but also sociology, demography, economics and political science. Béla Tomka presents both the diversity and the commonalities of European societies looking not just to Western European countries, but Eastern, Central and Southern European countries as well. A perfect introduction for all students of European history.
Making the Transition
After the breakdown of socialism in Central and Eastern Europe, the role of education systems in preparing students for the "real world" changed. Though young people were freed from coercive state institutions, the shift to capitalism made the transition from school to work much more precarious and increased inequality in early career outcomes. This volume provides the first large-scale analysis of the impact social transformation has had on young people in their transition from school to work in Central and Eastern European countries. Written by local experts, the book examines the process for those entering the workforce under socialism, during the turbulent transformation years, in the early 2000s, and today. It considers both the risks and opportunities that have emerged, and reveals how they are distributed across social groups. Only by studying these changes can we better understand the long-term impact of socialism and post-socialist transformation on the problems young people in this part of the world are facing today.
