Doamna Marusia CIRSTEA, doctor in stiinte istorice, a investigat, in baza cercetarii unei extrem de bogate bibliografii si a unor studii intense in arhivele diplomatice si militare interne (Arhiva Ministerului de Externe al Romaniei - Bucuresti, Arhivele Militare Nationale – Bucuresti si Pitesti, Arhivele Nationale ale Romaniei - Bucuresti, Biblioteca Nationala si Biblioteca Academiei Romane, ambele din Bucuresti), o problema de mare interes, abordata pana acum de numerosi istorici romani si straini (Paul D. Quinlan, Elisabeth Barker, V. F. Dobrinescu, Gh. Pascalau, Ion Patroiu s.a.). Tocmai de aceea, meritul autoarei este cu totul deosebit, intrucat, bazandu-se pe rezultatele cercetarilor anterioare, dar, aprofundandu-le si completandu-le substantial cu documente inedite, este in masura sa realizeze o contributie stiintifica de reala valoare pe marginea evolutiei raporturilor politico-diplomatice intre Romania si Marea Britanie intr-una din perioadele cele mai captivante si mai dificile ale epocii contemporane – ajunul conflagratiei mondiale din 1939-1945. Asa dupa cum se subliniaza in ampla Introducere, problema cercetata ?constituie o tema de studiu si de reflectie importanta, interesanta si plina de invataminte, nu numai pentru istoricul de astazi, dar si pentru omul simplu, pasionat de istorie si, indeosebi, pentru politicianul si diplomatul care trebuie sa gaseasca solutii practice unor aspecte interesand raporturile internationale“ (p. 3). Astfel, dupa o pertinenta si documentata Introducere, care elucideaza si aspectele istoriografice ale cercetarii, autoarea realizeaza o consistenta monografie privind relatiile dintre Bucuresti si Londra intre 1936 si 1939, in cuprinsul a patru capitole judicios repartizate pentru a se asigura tratarea globala si unitara a materiei. De un mare interes si cu o importanta pondere in economia lucrarii se dovedesc, nu mai putin, Concluziile (pp. 200-213), Bibliografia (pp. 214-232) si cele 25 de Anexe (pp. 233-350).Ultimele luni de pace si inceputul celui de-al doilea razboi mondial, evolutia raporturilor anglo-romane in context fac obiectul celui de-al IV-lea capitol. Principalele evenimente tratate sunt, in ordine cronologica, faimosul caz Tilea; garantiile franceze si britanice acordate Poloniei, Greciei si Romaniei; rostul pactului sovieto-german din 23 august 1939 in politica europeana; declansarea razboiului si atitudinea Romaniei si, in sfarsit, proclamarea neutralitatii Romaniei in razboi vizavi de implicarea Marii Britanii in ostilitati. Temeinicia cercetarii este atestata de o bogata si sistematica Bibliografíe, care, fara indoiala, intregeste, in chip fericit, textul lucrarii. In acelasi timp, Anexele ingaduie specialistului si cititorului interesat sa aprecieze amploarea si seriozitatea investigatiilor arhivistice.

Specialist ?n domeniul avangardei, scriitorul – extrem de incomod uneori! – Ovidiu Morar, scrie despre scriitorii evrei din Rom?nia ?ntr-un stil incomod, m?nat de un zeu al drept??ii, impar?ial ?i feroce. Cine sunt scriitorii evrei? ?n ce m?sura ei se deosebesc de rom?ni, unguri, francezi, ?i ?n ce m?sur? se aseam?n?? Aceste ?i multe alte ?ntreb?ri mai mult sau mai pu?in comode revin aidoma unui laitmotiv pe parcursul c?r?ii, scrise ?ntr-un stil alert, incitant, cu note v?dit incomode, iar pe aclouri de-a dreptul provocatoare.

L?sa?i atunci trufia la o parte, C?ci de b?rba?i trufia ne desparte. ?i m?inile, duioase ?i supuse, ?n slujba lor pe veci s? fie puse. ?i so?ul meu, de ?ndat? ce ar vrea, ?n m?na lui mi a? pune m?na mea. Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot,And place your hands below your husband’s foot: In token of which duty, if he please, My hand is ready; may it do him ease.

1944. május k?zepét?l sz?k két hónap leforgása alatt a magyar csend?r?k, rend?r?k és hivatalnokok hatékony k?zrem?k?désével t?bb mint 430 ezer, zsidónak min?sített magyar állampolgárt deportáltak. Túlnyomó t?bbségüket Auschwitz-Birkenauba vitték és meg?lték. Vajon az események milyen láncolata vezetett ehhez a holokauszt t?rténetében is példátlan méret? és gyorsaságú akcióhoz? Hol határoztak a magyarországi ?végs? megoldásról”? Berlinben vagy Budapesten? Kik, mikor és milyen k?rülmények k?z?tt hoztak végs? d?ntést a magyar zsidók deportálásáról? K?D?R G?BOR és V?GI ZOLT?N az etnikai tisztogatásokat és népirtásokat, valamint a világháborús német és magyar d?ntéshozatali mechanizmust elemezve keres válaszokat a kérdésekre. ?gy vélik, hogy a tragédia hátterében két er?, két szándék találkozása állt. Az egyik a német népirtási program volt, amelynek gy?kerei Hitler és a nácik radikális antiszemitizmusában, fajhigiéniai és etnopolitikai elképzeléseiben lelhet?k fel. A másik pedig az a mára szinte elfelejtett magyar t?rténeti attit?d, amely évszázadok óta az ?idegennek” tekintett népcsoportok beolvasztására, kiszorítására és el?zésére t?rekedett, és amely rabul ejtette a hazai fajvéd?k és a politikai elit gondolkodását. A t?rténészpáros szerint 1944-ben e két t?rekvést leginkább megszemélyesít? szerepl?k, a német Adolf Eichmann és a magyar Endre László végzetes találkozása radikalizálta tovább azt a folyamatot, amely az európai zsidóüld?zés egyik leggyilkosabb d?ntéséhez vezetett.

Németh Miklós és Pozsgay Imre egy k?tetben! Mellettük pedig Mayer Péter, Markovics Ferenc, Arató István, Kajli Béla, Kerezsi István és még sokan mások. Ismert, k?zismert és kevésbé ismert nevek egy beszélget?k?nyvben, amely a munkás?rség t?rténetét ?leli fel. A szerz?k megfogalmazásában: t?bb szempontból sem hagyományos interjúk?tetet készítettünk, vállalva ennek el?nyeit és hátrányait egyaránt. K?sz?nhet? volt ez annak is, hogy a k?nyv megírását megel?zte egy, a testület teljes t?rténetét feldolgozó kétrészes, ?sszesen k?zel egyórás dokumentumfilm elkészítése a Munkás?rség - Egy párthadsereg t?rténete címmel. A munkás?r?k nehéz ládát cipelnek. Amikor letették, hogy megpihenjenek, épp arra j?n János bácsi, a téesz juhásza és megkérdi: Mit cipelnek fiaim? Hadititok!, feleli az egyik munkás?r. ?s nagyon nehéz a láda? Már hogyne lenne nehéz, mikor tele van kézigránáttal?, válaszol az egyik munkás?r. A korabeli viccben és t?bbek emlékezetében is úgy él a Munkás?rség, mint egy kissé esetlen, sokszor id?s embereknek a gy?jt?helye vagy klubja. De a valóságban ez egyáltalán nem így volt. Az '56-os forradalom leverését k?vet?en létrehozott szervezet feladata sokáig kizárólag a rend(szer) védelmének a biztosítása volt. A kádári állam kiépülését k?vet?en kidolgozták háborús, határ?rizeti és polgári védelmi feladataikat is. A kezdetben harminc-, majd hatvanezer f?s párthadsereg létszámát tekintve a korabeli Magyar Néphadseregéhez képest is jelent?s volt! A rendszerváltás során a hatalom részér?l felmerült a testület átmentése is, de erre végül nem került sor. A Munkás?rség felszámolását 1989-ben a teljes ellenzék k?vetelte, leszerelésük jelent?s izgalommal t?lt?tte el a magyar társadalmat. De hogy látták mindezt a korabeli vezet? politikusok, katonák, és nem utolsó sorban maguk a munkás?r?k? Az interjúk?tet erre próbál választ találni.

Classic play. According to Wikipedia: "An Ideal Husband is an 1895 comedic stage play by Oscar Wilde which revolves around blackmail and political corruption, and touches on the themes of public and private honour. The action is set in London, in "the present", and takes place over the course of twenty-four hours. "Sooner or later," Wilde notes, "we shall all have to pay for what we do." But he adds that, "No one should be entirely judged by their past." Together with The Importance of Being Earnest, it is often considered Wilde's dramatic masterpiece. After Earnest it is his most popularly produced play... Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854 - 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and author of short stories. Known for his barbed wit, he was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. As the result of a famous trial, he suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years of hard labour after being convicted of the offence of 'gross indecency.'"

But now he has gone back to his home in New York – perhaps forever. Larina’s relief to find that she has not caught her mother’s consumption is short-lived – her doctor delivers the terrible news to her that she has a rare heart disease, which will kill her in just twenty-one days!

Widowed Mrs. Mansforde and her younger daughter Philomena (or ‘Mena’ for short) are pleasantly surprised when elder daughter Lais returns unannounced to the family home. They have not seen her for an age, not even at her father’s funeral. And the news she brings is not so pleasant as it seems that she too has been widowed, but already has another wealthy and prestigious husband in her sights, the highly respected Duke of Kernthorpe. The Duke, who is much older than Lais, has invited her to bring her mother to meet him, an invitation that Lais does not extend to young Mena, seeing how beautiful she has become. Mrs. Mansforde insists that Mena goes with her and then it is decided that she will pose as her mother’s employed companion. Once at the Duke’s Castle Mena goes for a walk in the garden and then sees a stallion and rider galloping towards her. The horse is clearly out of control and throws the rider so Mena rushes over to see if he has been hurt. He is a handsome young man and when he looks up at Mena he thinks, because she is so beautiful, that she must be a Greek Goddess. He is then most impressed when Mena calms the stallion down by talking to him in a quiet gentle voice. At the Duke’s Castle love is to take each of the three women, Mena, Lais and their mother, by surprise and brings them ultimate happiness in the form of entirely unexpected suitors. And it seems that Fate has brought them together at the magnificent but mysterious Kerne Castle.

Marisa Mitton ist keinesfalls das, was sie vorgibt zu sein: eine gew?hnliche Gouvernante. Auch ihr flammendrotes Haar pa?t so gar nicht zu der Rolle, die sie sich zu spielen bemüht. In ihrer Maskerade als Angestellte im Haushalt des Herzogs von Milverley hofft sie Material sammeln zu k?nnen, das die Korruptheit und Oberfl?chlichkeit der nur scheinbar ?guten“ Gesellschaft aufzeigen soll. Doch ihr Plan ist schwieriger zu realisieren, als sie geglaubt hat. Da ist zum einen ihr Verantwortungsgefühl für ein einsames, liebes Kind, das als unkontrollierbar, ungezogen und verstockt gilt. Und da ist zum anderen der Herzog: ein arroganter, skrupelloser Schürzenj?ger.
