»Agrell är en mästare på att levandegöra historien. Här förenas intrikata detaljer med solid kunskap om ämnet ... Boken är lättläst och lärorik.« BTJ
Under hela 1900-talet bidrog Sveriges geografiska läge och neutrala hållning till att landet blev en naturlig mötesplats för diplomater och politiska dissidenter från hela världen. Vårt land, och då särskilt Stockholm, blev därför också attraktivt för främmande makters spionverksamhet.
Redan tidigt förra seklet utnyttjades vår neutrala huvudstad som bas för hemliga operationer. När andra världskriget bröt ut fick Stockholm en unik position för de krigförande parternas underrättelsetjänster och blev Nordens Casablanca . Under kalla kriget flyttade verksamheten in i skuggorna där det fördes en jakt på stormakters spioner och svenska förrädare.
Wilhelm Agrell är Sveriges främsta expert på underrättelseanalys och svensk säkerhetspolitik. I sin nya bok berättar han den rafflande historien om Stockholm som spioncentral. Läsaren får bekanta sig med såväl betydande personer och platser som hemliga organisationer verksamma i staden.

Anders Chydenius (1729-1803) var präst och riksdagsman. Som stridbar debattör, banbrytande ekonomisk tänkare och handlingskraftig politiker blev han en centralgestalt på den dramatiska riksdagen i Stockholm åren 1765-66. Genom Chydenius fick Sverige världens äldsta tryckfrihetsförordning 1766. Han bekämpade handelshinder och var delaktig i ediktet om religionsfrihet 1781. I sina skrifter tog han strid för tjänstefolket och för småfolket på landsbygden. Han skrev och agerade också för en avreglerad näringslivspolitik, mot statsmonopol och skråväsende. Anders Chydenius kom från Österbotten i Finland, som då var en del av Sverige. Han ville individens frihet och har kallats både den svenska liberalismens fader och Nordens Adam Smith. Men hans kamp innebar också bakslag. Själv betraktade han sig som en martyr för friheten. Nils Erik Forsgård lotsar oss genom 1700-talets politiska intriger och analyserar innehållet i Chydenius frihetstanke. Anders Chydenius tankar, visar det sig, har bärighet ända in i vår egen tid.

Modernt mästerverk i efterlängtad nyutgåva
»Som Madame Bovary träffad av blixten.« Angela Carter
Hon är en aspirerande författare från en välbärgad familj, han är poet och professor, bosatt i Japan. I början möts de två älskande nästan som i en dröm: hon har länge beundrat honom på avstånd, och när de till slut träffas dras de oemotståndligt till varandra. Överväldigad av ensamhet och sorg skrev Elizabeth Smart sin hjärtskärande prosalyriska skildring av den intensiva och destruktiva relation hon hade med poeten George Barker. Han lovade att lämna sin fru för henne men gjorde det aldrig. Ändå kunde de inte slita sig från varandra, och under det nästan arton år långa förhållandet fick de fyra barn tillsammans. Den självbiografiska Vid Grand Central Station där satt jag och grät gavs ut 1945, medan Smart och Barker fortfarande hade ett förhållande, och kom långsamt att nå kultstatus inom litterära kretsar i London innan den återutgavs 1966. Idag betraktas den som ett modernt mästerverk.I översättning av Ingegärd Martinell, med ett nyskrivet förord av litteraturkritikern Yukiko Duke.
ELIZABETH SMART [1913–1986], född i Ottawa, var en kanadensisk författare och poet. Mest känd är hon för det självbiografiska verket Vid Grand Central Station där satt jag och grät.

"I define the Neutral as that which outplays the paradigm, or rather I call Neutral everything that baffles paradigm." With these words, Roland Barthes describes a concept that profoundly shaped his work and was the subject of a landmark series of lectures delivered in 1978 at the College de France, just two years before his death. Not published in France until 2002, and appearing in English for the first time, these creative and engaging lectures deepen our understanding of Roland Barthes's intellectual itinerary and reveal his distinctive style as thinker and teacher. The Neutral (le neutre), as Barthes describes it, escapes or undoes the paradigmatic binary oppositions that structure and produce meaning in Western thought and discourse. These binaries are found in all aspects of human society ranging from language to sexuality to politics. For Barthes, the attempt to deconstruct or escape from these binaries has profound ethical, philosophical, and linguistic implications.The Neutral is comprised of the prewritten texts from which Barthes lectured and centers around 23 "figures," also referred to as "traits" or "twinklings," that are possible embodiments of the Neutral (sleep, silence, tact, etc.) or of the anti-Neutral (anger, arrogance, conflict, etc.). His lectures draw on a diverse set of authors and intellectual traditions, including Lao-tzu, Tolstoy, German mysticism, classical philosophy, Rousseau, Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin, and John Cage. Barthes's idiosyncratic approach to his subjects gives the lectures a playful, personal, and even joyous quality that enhances his rich insights. In addition to his reflections on a variety of literary and scholarly works, Barthes's personal convictions and the events of his life shaped the course and content of the lectures. Most prominently, as Barthes admits, the recent death of his mother and the idea of mourning shape several of his lectures.

The Routledge Handbook of East Central and Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages, 500–1300 is the first of its kind to provide a point of reference for the history of the whole of Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages.While historians have recognized the importance of integrating the eastern part of the European continent into surveys of the Middle Ages, few have actually paid attention to the region, its specific features, problems of chronology and historiography. This vast region represents more than two-thirds of the European continent, but its history in general—and its medieval history in particular—is poorly known. This book covers the history of the whole region, from the Balkans to the Carpathian Basin, and the Bohemian Forest to the Finnish Bay. It provides an overview of the current state of research and a route map for navigating an abundant historiography available in more than ten different languages. Chapters cover topics as diverse as religion, architecture, art, state formation, migration, law, trade and the experiences of women and children.This book is an essential reference for scholars and students of medieval history, as well as those interested in the history of Central and Eastern Europe.

From Bohemia to Rus’ and from the White Sea to the Balkans, Medieval East Central and Eastern Europe by Florin Curta and Sébastien Rossignol covers the medieval history of a large area. This groundbreaking textbook is an important introduction for students and an essential tool for instructors of courses on the Middle Ages and the entire eastern half of Europe. With elements of medieval archaeology, Medieval East Central and Eastern Europe includes dynastic characters, political legacies, and a list of suggested readings for anyone interested in learning more about the history of these regions. Written in an accessible style that appeals to a general reader, this textbook explicates the diversity of historical experiences available in these parts of Europe during the Middle Ages – from the influence of Byzantine traditions in the Balkans to the integration of Western cultures and the impact of the Eurasian steppe lands. This text highlights the distinct social and cultural characteristics that shaped these societies, including the persistence of nomadic groups, the limited reach of feudalism, and the enduring presence of pagan, Jewish, and Muslim communities.Structured with chronological overviews and thematic chapters, Medieval East Central and Eastern Europe is an invaluable resource on underrepresented regions for specialists and non-specialists alike.

Selected by The Times as 'Best History Book of the Year'An absorbing journey through a region caught between history, geography and ideology.What is 'Central Europe'? Where do its borders lie? Does it even exist? Attempts to define it usually yield more questions than answers. But perhaps the wrong questions are being asked.Luka Ivan Jukic disentangles the enigma of Central Europe through its birth, death and rebirth. Today, Poland, Croatia and even Ukraine proudly align themselves with it, and so with Western civilization. But the term originally described an unrecognisably different world--one formed in the eighteenth century by the unique inheritance of the Habsburg dynasty across Germany and a sprawling Danubian realm; by the rise of standard High German; and by its intermediate position between an 'advanced West' and 'backwards East'.Two devastating world wars shattered this extraordinary civilization, reducing it to a Cold War frontier. Its unexpected reincarnation in the 1980s, as an ideological antidote to the Soviet East, spawned myths and polemics, but little clarity. Yet 'Central Europe' seems to feature in every contemporary crisis, from Russian aggression to European disunity. Why is it still such a powerful political idea?

Elizabeth Smart’s passionate fictional account of her intense love-affair with the poet George Barker, described by Angela Carter as ‘Like MADAME BOVARY blasted by lightning … A masterpiece’.One day, while browsing in a London bookshop, Elizabeth Smart chanced upon a slim volume of poetry by George Barker – and fell passionately in love with him through the printed word. Eventually they communicated directly and, as a result of Barker’s impecunious circumstances, Elizabeth Smart flew both him and his wife from Japan, where he was teaching, to join her in the United States. Thus began one of the most extraordinary, intense and ultimately tragic love affairs of our time. They never married but Elizabeth bore George Barker four children and their relationship provided the impassioned inspiration for one of the most moving and immediate chronicles of a love affair ever written – ‘By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept’.Originally published in 1945, this remarkable book is now widely identified as a classic work of poetic prose which, seven decades later, has retained all of its searing poignancy, beauty and power of impact.

A major history of Central Asia and how it has been shaped by modern world eventsCentral Asia is often seen as a remote and inaccessible land on the peripheries of modern history. Encompassing Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and the Xinjiang province of China, it in fact stands at the crossroads of world events. Adeeb Khalid provides the first comprehensive history of Central Asia from the mid-eighteenth century to today, shedding light on the historical forces that have shaped the region under imperial and Communist rule.Predominantly Muslim with both nomadic and settled populations, the peoples of Central Asia came under Russian and Chinese rule after the 1700s. Khalid shows how foreign conquest knit Central Asians into global exchanges of goods and ideas and forged greater connections to the wider world. He explores how the Qing and Tsarist empires dealt with ethnic heterogeneity, and compares Soviet and Chinese Communist attempts at managing national and cultural difference. He highlights the deep interconnections between the "Russian" and "Chinese" parts of Central Asia that endure to this day, and demonstrates how Xinjiang remains an integral part of Central Asia despite its fraught and traumatic relationship with contemporary China.The essential history of one of the most diverse and culturally vibrant regions on the planet, this panoramic book reveals how Central Asia has been profoundly shaped by the forces of modernity, from colonialism and social revolution to nationalism, state-led modernization, and social engineering.

For thousands of years, the peoples of Central Asia have created spectacular textiles for every aspect of life. Infinite care, resources and time have gone into making elaborate costumes (connoting the wearer’s identity and place in society), equestrian items, and exquisite furnishings for settled as well as nomadic lifestyles. Items of dress were decorated literally from top to toe: boots were embroidered with metal thread, while hats were stitched, appliquéd and felted. The women of a family would come together to embroider dazzling suzanis to form part of a bride’s dowry; master dyers and weavers would craft vibrant ikat hangings. Combined, these objects tell an evocative story of life along the Silk Road in times past.This book brings together outstanding textiles from the Neville Kingston Collection, featuring many previously unpublished pieces. It is the second volume to document this exceptional English collection; Turkmen Carpets: The Neville Kingston Collection was published in 2016.
