"This book provides an authoritative vivisection of the goals, behavior, and strategies of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and sheds light on the chuavinism behind the myths of martyrdom. Byford's claims and conclusions are well supported by strong evidence, most of which comes from Church sources and Velimirović's own works. No serious student of Serbia should miss this impressive book." - Politics and Religion on Denial and Repression of Antisemitism

Prague Tales
Jan Neruda
Translated by Michael Henry Heim
With an introduction by Ivan Klima
Prague Tales is a collection of Jan Neruda's intimate,
wry, bittersweet stories of life among the inhabitants
of the Little Quarter of nineteenth-century Prague.
These finely tuned and varied vignettes established
Neruda as the quintessential Czech nineteenth-century
realist, the Charles Dickens of a Prague becoming ever
more aware of itself as a Czech rather than an Austrian
city.
Prague Tales is a classic by a writer whose influence
has been acknowledged by generations of Czech writers,
including Ivan Klíma, who contributes an introduction
to this new translation.
