The Museum of an Extinct Race
Author: Jonathan Hale Rosen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781637527788
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
"The Museum of an Extinct Race" is a soul-shaking tale of faith and resurrection in the face of crushing persecution. The novel resonated with me long after I reached the last page." Claire Wachtel, Editor Emeritus, Harper-Collins -- In a world too impossible to imagine... A future too possible. Adolf Hitler's Germany has won the war and conquered the world. He has succeeded in eliminating any vestige of Jews and Judaism. 70 years later, his successors realize Hitler's desire for a museum to memorialize that extermination. The Museum of an Extinct Race, told through the eyes of its two protagonists-Dano Adamik, a Czech native coerced into curating the museum, and Eva Novak, a museum docent with Jewish heritage-unveils a beaten, subjugated society, dominated by a self-proclaimed super race. Through emotionally charged scenes of an all-too-real, anti-civilization, the novel plunges us into a world absent of Jews and bereft of the ethical guidance of Judaism.

The Coasts of Bohemia
Author: Derek Sayer
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691214433
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
In The Winter's Tale, Shakespeare gave the landlocked country of Bohemia a coastline—a famous and, to Czechs, typical example of foreigners' ignorance of the Czech homeland. Although the lands that were once the Kingdom of Bohemia lie at the heart of Europe, Czechs are usually encountered only in the margins of other people's stories. In The Coasts of Bohemia, Derek Sayer reverses this perspective. He presents a comprehensive and long-needed history of the Czech people that is also a remarkably original history of modern Europe, told from its uneasy center. Sayer shows that Bohemia has long been a theater of European conflict. It has been a cradle of Protestantism and a bulwark of the Counter-Reformation; an Austrian imperial province and a proudly Slavic national state; the most easterly democracy in Europe; and a westerly outlier of the Soviet bloc. The complexities of its location have given rise to profound (and often profoundly comic) reflections on the modern condition. Franz Kafka, Jaroslav Hasek, Karel Capek and Milan Kundera are all products of its spirit of place. Sayer describes how Bohemia's ambiguities and contradictions are those of Europe itself, and he considers the ironies of viewing Europe, the West, and modernity from the vantage point of a country that has been too often ignored. The Coasts of Bohemia draws on an enormous array of literary, musical, visual, and documentary sources ranging from banknotes to statues, museum displays to school textbooks, funeral orations to operatic stage-sets, murals in subway stations to censors' indexes of banned books. It brings us into intimate contact with the ever changing details of daily life—the street names and facades of buildings, the heroes figured on postage stamps—that have created and recreated a sense of what it is to be Czech. Sayer's sustained concern with questions of identity, memory, and power place the book at the heart of contemporary intellectual debate. It is an extraordinary story, beautifully told.
