“Er du klar til at sejle ind i eventyret?” spørger Thomas Veber. Vandet glitrer i sollyset, da han drejer nøglen, og påhængsmotoren springer i gang. Sammen med sin datter og fotograf Mathilda Veber sejler de ud fra havnens beskyttende moler, hvor flodens stærke strøm griber fat i dem.På en far-datter-odyssé gennem syv lande sejler de ned ad Donau i familiens kun fem meter lange motorbåd. De vil have oplevelser og varme. Flere nærgående møder med politiet under den brændende sol i Kroatien og Serbien tester dog deres tålmodighed, og en uventet invitation fra Liberlands præsident afslører en dybere strøm af konflikter langs floden. Men de oplever også friheden på vandet, nærmest tropiske strande i Ungarn og en varm gæstfrihed fra lokale, hvis venlighed lyser op i deres eventyr.“Det er helt anderledes, end det vi plejer, og præcis, hvad jeg havde håbet på,” siger 19-årige Mathilda Veber, da de fortøjer i Bratislavas primitive havn.Fra de stille morgener, hvor duggen stadig hænger over Donau, til de støjende aftener i Beograds gader skildrer Mathilda Vebers fotografier rejsen med nærvær og ægthed. Sammen med Thomas Vebers fængslende fortællinger bliver Med strømmen til Balkan mere end en eventyrlig rejsebeskrivelse. Det er en fortælling om, hvordan man med små midler kan få store eventyr. Men også om familiebåndene, der styrkes, når man sammen tør vove sig ud på ukendt vand.Med strømmen til Balkan er for dig, der drømmer om eventyr, længes efter nærhed og søger inspiration til en uforglemmelig rejse. Er du klar til at lade dig rive med af strømmen?Thomas Veber, tidligere it-chef, nu forfatter og eventyrer, har sammen med familien sejlet over Atlanten og lavet tv-programmer om deres rejser. Efter adskillige langturssejladser har Thomas dedikeret sit liv til at inspirere andre med en travl hverdag til at få flere eventyr. Mathilda Veber, nylig student med et fotograferingsstipendium, planlægger nye sejlereventyr i Stillehavet før hendes videre studier.

This book is a contribution to European comparative history involving Portugal and Slovakia, but also the larger geographic units of Iberia and Slavic Central Europe. While developments in Portugal and Slovakia predominate, Spain, the Czech lands, and other regions are discussed as well. The subjects investigated include the position of women and the activities of messianic thinkers in the seventeenth century as well as semi-fascist Catholic political movements in the twentieth century. The authors look at the subject matter from the viewpoint of politics, social phenomena, and culture. The cultural dimension includes religion and ideology, both of which have clearly been of critical importance in Portuguese and Slovak history. It also includes problems of ethno-linguistic and national identity and the more recent phenomenon of multiculturalism, whose social promotion is controversial and uncertain."This comparative study by Zuzana Polá¿ková and Peter C. van Duin, a collection of essays, is a revelation, especially for students of European authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, and, furthermore, anybody interested in European history."¿Josette Baer, Professor, UZH University of Zurich"This book gives proof to Cicerös dictum: "Historia magistra vitae est"¿without knowledge of the past we cannot build a sustainable future. Thanks to the authors for this great contribution to knowledge!"¿Lucia Mokrá, Professor of International Law, Comenius University, Bratislava"This collection of essays provides not only fascinating insights into the political workings of these two small states, but of the workings of politics in the larger Iberian / Slavic context. Highly recommended."¿Dr. David Reichardt, International Relations, Webster University, Saint-Louis, Missouri "A very important contribution to the study of the comparative history of Europe, and therefore I fully recommend its publication."¿Mgr. Juraj Marüiak, PhD. Institute of Political Science, public research institution, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovak Republic

The curricular reform of 2016 presented us with a unique opportunity to compare children who had followed the previous early childhood curriculum in Slovakia with children who attended preschool after the successful implementation of the new preschool curriculum. Our book is based on the findings of research carried out in the ecologically valid environment of Slovak preschools. The results offer a unique perspective on literacy development in the context of a national reform implementation that had a direct impact on educational practice.

To the older generations in her native Slovakia, Hana Ponická is well-known for her successful children¿s books and courageous fight against the communist regime. Her psychological ordeal began in February 1977 when the elderly lady refused to sign the so-called anticharta, a condemnation of the human rights group Charter 77, which had published its first manifesto in the West on 1 January 1977. All Slovak and Czech artists had to sign the anticharta; they were forced by the regime to condemn the dissidents, the most prominent among them being Václav Havel (1936¿2011), who were standing up against the violation of basic human rights enshrined in the Czechoslovak constitution following the conclusion of the CSCE treaty of Helsinki. Ponická, like most of her fellow artists, had neither read the Charter 77 manifesto nor the text of the anticharta; she thus refused to sign. Her courage prompted the regime to terrorize her psychologically. This political biography is the first ever written about Ponická, despite her being a household name in Slovakia. Josette Baer¿s analysis is based on Ponická¿s memoirs of that cruel year of 1977, newspaper articles she published prior to 1971, when the regime effectively banned any critical voice from publication, and newspaper articles she published after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 to promote the establishing of a rule-of-law state and democracy. The documents of the StB, the Slovak and Czech Security Services, are analyzed for the first time; they are evidence of how the StB tried to pressure the resilient and disciplined grandmother of three into obedience. Oral history interviews with Dirk Matthias Dalberg, Vlasta Jaksicsová, and Mary ¿amal inform the reader about the situation of the Slovak dissidents of Charter 77, how normal citizens lived in the regime, and how the Czech and Slovak exile communities in the USA saw the dissidents in Communist Czechoslovakia.

Die Monographie stellt den ersten Versuch dar, die prinzipiell außerordentliche seelsorgliche Tätigkeit der Predigerbrüder von Kaschau (Köice) im 18. Jahrhundert in ihrem vielfältigen Kontext zu erfassen. Sie behandelt die Geschichte der Wiedererrichtung der dominikanischen Niederlassung von 1698 im Kontext der Bestrebungen der Habsburger um die Rekatholisierung der Stadt und der Bemühungen des Ordens um die Wiederbelebung der ungarischen Provinz und die allmähliche Konsolidierung des Klosters im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts. Ein spezielles Augenmerk wird der Situation der Dominikaner unter den großen theresianisch-josephinischen Reformen gewidmet. Es werden vier konkrete Seelsorgsbereiche erörtert: 1. die Bruderschaften des heiligen Rosenkranzes und des heiligen Johannes von Nepomuk und die ordens- und bruderschaftseigenen Prozessionen als spezieller Punkt im pastoralen Programm der Brüder, 2. die Messstiftungen als Ausdruck liturgisch-pastoraler Sorge für Lebende und Verstorbene, 3. die Laienbegräbnisse und Totengedächtnisfeiern, und 4. die Predigt.Die auf breites Quellenmaterial gestützte Arbeit trägt zur Erforschung vor allem der dominikanischen Geschichte und der regionalen Kirchengeschichte der Frühen Neuzeit bei.
