The Czechs and the Lands of the Bohemian CrownHoover Press, 2004 - 441 pagine In this chronicle of a fascinating people, Hugh Agnew offers a single-volume survey of Czech history, providing an introduction to its major themes and contours. Agnew presents a detailed chronology of the region, from prehistory and the first Slavs to the Czech Republic's entrance into the European Union. Taking into account both Western and Marxist insights--as well as the input of the newest generation of Czech historians--he furnishes a comprehensive fusion of three different aspects of Czech history: a political-diplomatic view, a social-economic view, and a cultural-intellectual view. |
