The interviews made by younger colleagues revealed their engaging life stories. The four academics grew up before and during the war, under Nazi occupation, emerged as young scholars in the difficult post-war period, and, for most of their careers, worked in the shadow of the Iron Curtain, two of them spending most of their lifetimes under communist regimes. The conversations focus on ways in which open-minded young intellectuals became medieval historians under difficult circumstances, on how they experienced the long shadows of totalitarian regimes with their acute sensitivity for historical change, and how their perceptions of the world around them reflected back on their approach to medieval history. The histories of their nations were broken, most of them ceased to exist and were re-established during their lifetimes, came under foreign domination, were split, or their territories shifted - what did that mean for their identities and patriotic feelings? How can the present be reflected in the distant mirror of the medieval past? In this book, the four masters reflect about their lives sharing numerous observations, anecdotes, and experiences"-- 600 10 Kłoczowski, Jerzy |vInterviews. 600 10 Bak, János M. |vInterviews. 600 10 Šmahel, František |vInterviews. 600 10 Wolfram, Herwig |vInterviews. 650 0 Medievalists |zEurope, Central |vInterviews. 650 0 Medievalists |zEurope, Central |vBiography. 651 0 Europe, Central |xHistory. 651 0 Europe, Central |xSocial conditions. 700 1 Rychterová, Pavlína, |eeditor. 700 1 Klaniczay, Gábor, |eeditor. 700 1 Kras, Paweł, |eeditor. 700 1 Pohl, Walter, |d1953- |eeditor. 776 08 |iOnline version: |tTimes of upheaval |dBudapest ; New York : Central European University Press, 2019 |z9789633863060 |w(DLC) 2019009664 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6943_700000000000000_022072022_RYC |70 |8GEN |9129898OSA |bOSA |d2021-01-05 |eOSA |l0 |o943.7/022072022 RYC |r2021-01-05 |w2021-01-05 |yBK |cOSA Repository 920 01 Ge4nMzXL 992 01 943_700000000000000_022072022_RYC |bQVW_SZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_ZXXZSXZXX_81N 966 |cIn the Research Room
