A Traitorous Heart

Gunnar Hering Lectures

Istanbul's population greatly suffered during WWI. Sanitary problems, pauperization, mortality rise deteriorated everyday life. The flows of refugees and military mobilization were major issues. Paradoxically, its Greek orthodox community increased in 1914-1918. After the Mudros Armistice (October 1918), it could hope for the Ottoman Empire's dismemberment and the return of Constantinople to the Greek fold. The events that followed and led to the birth of the Republic of Turkey would put an end to their expectations. The deterioration of everyday material life, the loyalty of Istanbul Greeks to the Ottoman State in wartime, ordinary people's position towards Hellenic irredentism are the main themes explored through the archives of Greek Orthodox parishes of the city and those of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.

A Spectator Book of the Year. Taking you on a time-travelling adventure around the 'spindly, sea-wracked islands' we call home, The Discovery of Britain is history that's panoramic and intimate, poignant and shocking, seriously funny, and enlightening in the most surprising way. 'Robb has found a new format for writing history just as Craig Brown found a fresh way to write biography' - Alan Johnson 'Rarely does history feel so beguiling' - The Observer In the hands of the prize-winning author of The Discovery of France, and often from the unique vantage point of his bicycle, we encounter an entertaining cast of characters foreign and homegrown, drop in on places and events, and dwell on the successes and catastrophes across British history. From ancient settlements swallowed up by the sea and the creation of Stonehenge to the advent of multiculturalism and recent political earthquakes, all is seen as it's never been seen before. With intriguing maps and illustrations throughout, The Discovery of Britain can be devoured whole or each chapter read in the time it takes to change a bicycle tyre or drink a cup of coffee. The wonderful choice of how to enjoy this original and sweeping history of Britain is yours.

An Accidental History

The Discovery of Britain

Der #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Autor Larson erweckt die entscheidenden fünf Monate zwischen der Wahl Abraham Lincolns und dem Beginn des Bürgerkriegs zum Leben.
 Am 6. November 1860 wurde Abraham Lincoln zum unbekümmerten Sieger in einem knappen Rennen um das Präsidentenamt. Das Land war unerbittlich zerstritten; Die Extremisten des Südens kamen der Zerstörung der Union immer näher, wobei sich ein Staat nach dem anderen abspaltete und Lincoln machtlos war, sie aufzuhalten. Die Sklaverei heizte den Konflikt an, aber irgendwie konzentrierten sich die Leidenschaften des Nordens und des Südens auf eine einsame Bundesfestung im Hafen von Charleston: Fort Sumter.Der meisterhafte Geschichtenerzähler Erik Larson bietet einen packenden Bericht über die chaotischen Monate zwischen Lincolns Wahl und dem Beschuss von Sumter durch die Konföderierten - eine Zeit, die von tragischen Fehlern und Missverständnissen, entflammten Egos und feigen Ambitionen, persönlichen Tragödien und Verrat geprägt war. Lincoln selbst schrieb, dass die Prüfungen dieser fünf Monate "so groß waren, dass ich, wenn ich sie hätte vorhersehen können, nicht geglaubt hätte, dass es möglich wäre, sie zu überleben".
 Im Mittelpunkt dieser spannungsgeladenen Erzählung stehen Major Robert Anderson, Sumters Kommandant und ehemaliger Sklavenhalter, der mit dem Süden sympathisiert, aber der Union treu ist; Edmund Ruffin, ein eitler und blutrünstiger Radikaler, der bei jeder Gelegenheit sezessionistische Begeisterung schürt; und Mary Boykin Chesnut, die Ehefrau eines prominenten Pflanzers, im inneren Konflikt über Ehe und Sklaverei und denen für sie augenscheinlichen Parallelen zwischen beidem. Mittendrin steht der überwältigte Lincoln, der mit seinem doppelzüngigen Außenminister William Seward kämpft, während er verzweifelt versucht, einen Krieg abzuwenden, den er für unvermeidlich befürchtet - einen, der schließlich 750.000 Amerikaner töten wird.
 

 Anhand von Tagebüchern, geheimen Mitteilungen, Sklavenbüchern und Plantagenaufzeichnungen erzählt uns Larson eine politische Horrorgeschichte, die die Kräfte einfängt, die Amerika an den Rand des Abgrunds geführt haben - 
 eine düstere Erinnerung daran, dass wir eine Katastrophe oft erst kommen sehen, wenn es zu spät ist.

Der Dämon der Zwietracht

This book re-examines the origins and development of the laws of war and human rights law and exposes an overlooked provision of the European Convention on Human Rights which permits the use of lethal force where absolutely necessary to quell an insurrection. When civilian casualties occur in internal armed conflicts, questions are asked about how civilians can be better protected against the use of force by armed insurgents and state security forces. The laws of war include protection against the targeting of civilians but permit the use of force based on 'military necessity' and allow 'proportionate' civilian casualties. Where those laws do not apply, the use of force is generally seen as being limited to self-defence. This creates paradigms of armed conflict and law-enforcement with very different rules. The paradigms are then treated by governments and other actors as being separate and divided by a threshold of violence, when, in practice, they overlap, both in the conduct of military operations and, this book argues, as a matter of law. Revisiting the law provides the opportunity to reassess the benefits and risks of the existing paradigms and consider how applying the provision permitting the use of lethal force in quelling an insurrection would affect them. The book concludes that it offers a middle way based on the existing law, but it requires wider recognition and development in order to achieve a more appropriate balance between human rights and collective security.

Lethal force, Human Rights and the Laws of War

Quelling Insurrection

How people have reimagined the story of the ten plagues of Egypt, from antiquity to our own era of relentless catastrophe People have been telling and retelling stories about disasters for as long as they have been telling stories. One of the oldest of such stories is the ten plagues in the book of Exodus, the series of disasters that forced the Egyptians to liberate the Israelites. These plagues packed enough catastrophe to fill a series of summer blockbusters—rivers of blood, invasions of frogs and insects, mass disease, fiery hail, smothering darkness, and a midnight massacre of the firstborn. The story of the ten plagues resonates today, as we try to make sense of such calamities of modern life as pandemics, climate change, and war. In Disasters of Biblical Proportions, Steven Weitzman explores how people of later ages—artists, writers, activists, philosophers, believers and unbelievers alike—have reshaped the story of the ten plagues to give expression to their own trauma, outrage, guilt, humor, and hope. Tracing the interpretation and retelling of each plague across time and space, Weitzman uncovers how this ancient tale found new meaning among Jews, Christians, and Muslims and continues to shape how people today understand the present and envision the future. Even as it recounts the history of how the ten plagues have been reimagined, Disasters of Biblical Proportions is also a history of people’s search for shelter from the calamities of their own times—and of humanity’s striving for justice, freedom, and redemption.

Disasters of Biblical Proportions

In der Einsamkeit der Verbannung, erfüllt von der Sehnsucht nach seiner Heimatstadt Theben, schreibt der ägyptische Arzt Sinuhe (1390 bis 1335 v. Chr.) die Geschichte seines bewegten Lebens nieder: von der Kindheit in einfachen Verhältnissen über seine Kariere als Leibarzt des Pharaos und abenteuerliche Reisen in alle Länder Kleinasiens bis hin zur Verbannung aus Ägypten. So entsteht für den Leser seine Lebensgeschichte, die zugleich eine farbenprächtige Kultur- und Sittengeschichte des östlichen Mittelmeerraums ist.

Ein packender historischer Roman über die Zeit der Pharaonen

This book explores the resilience and longevity of President Yoweri Museveni’s regime in Uganda, tracing the evolution of the National Resistance Army (NRA) from a victorious insurgency into one of Africa’s most enduring regimes. It challenges the assumption that the NRA’s 1986 victory in Uganda marked a complete institutional rupture. Instead, the book argues that the NRA —later institutionalized as the National Resistance Movement (NRM)—governed within a residual social landscape shaped by entrenched traditional monarchies, religious institutions, landed elites, and historic political parties that survived Uganda’s civil wars. Confronted with these deeply rooted social forces, the NRM regime was compelled to fuse coercion with co-optation, selective patronage, and strategic concessions. This hybrid approach produced a civil-authoritarian order in which political control is sustained not only through repression, but also through co-optation, negotiation, and accommodation of powerful societal interests. By foregrounding the interplay between state power and enduring social structures, the book contributes to comparative debates on authoritarianism, state-building, and post-conflict governance in Africa and beyond.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST THE NEW YORK TIMES 100 NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2025 THE NEW YORK TIMES "The Best Historical Fiction Novels to Read Right Now" PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 2025 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
'A novel of epic scope that resonates powerfully while wars of tragic loss continue to be fought on multiple fronts, including in Europe. Daanje exhibits brilliant powers of reconstitution in her descriptions of the war's aftermath and the blighted landscapes that it left behind.' Tobias Grey in The Financial Times
An extraordinary love story and a captivating novel about the power of memory and imagination.
Flanders 1922. After serving as a soldier in the Great War, Noon Merckem has lost his memory and lives in a psychiatric asylum. Countless women, responding to a newspaper ad, visit him there in the hope of finding their spouse who vanished in battle. One day a woman, Julienne, appears and recognises Noon as her husband, the photographer Amand Coppens, and takes him home against medical advice. But their miraculous reunion doesn't turn out the way that Julienne wants her envious friends to believe. Only gradually do the two grow close, and Amand's biography is pieced together on the basis of Julienne's stories about him. But how can he be certain that she's telling the truth?
In The Remembered Soldier, Anjet Daanje immerses us in the psyche of a war-traumatised man who has lost his identity. When Amand comes to doubt Julienne's word, the reader is caught up in a riveting spiral of confusion that only the greatest works of literature can achieve.
