Rezension zu „The Czech Reader: History, Culture, Politics “
"The Czech Reader is a collection of more than 60 texts, ranging from the tenth century to the twenty-first. The texts are in English, arranged chronologically, and broken down into 13 discrete periods. They are mostly by Czechs, but a number are about Czechs... It is a very well chosen, integrated set of texts and illustrations that shed light on Czech culture. It does show the importance of many Czechs in the wider history of Europe, and brings them to a new audience, in English." Michael Carter-Sinclair, European Review of History, July 2012 "The Czech Reader is a real gem, an immensely informative, balanced, and up-to-date compendium on Czech history and culture."--John Neubauer, University of Amsterdam "There is nothing comparable to The Czech Reader. It makes a unique and highly valuable contribution to understanding the Czech interpretation of their own history, of who they are, and what historical events constituted them as a nation and a people."--Silvia Tomaskova, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
