内容説明
Born January 1, 1993, after it split with Slovakia, the Czech Republic is one of the youngest members of the European Union. Despite its youth as a nation, this land and the areas just outside its modern borders boasts an ancient and intricate past. With "A History of the Czech Lands", editors Jaroslav Panek and Oldrich Tuma - along with several scholars from the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and Charles University Prague - provide one of the most complete historical accounts of this region to date. Panek and Tuma's history begins in the Neolithic era and follows the development of the state as it transformed into the Kingdom of Bohemia during the ninth century, into Czechoslovakia after World War I, and finally into the Czech Republic. Such a tumultuous political past arises in part from a fascinating native people, and "A History of the Czech Lands" profiles the Czechs in great detail, delving into past and present traditions and explaining how generation after generation adapted to a perpetually changing government and economy.
In addition, the contributors examine the many minorities that now call these lands home - Jews, Slovaks, Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, and others - and how each group's migration to the region has contributed to life in the Czech Republic today. The first study in English with this scope and ambition, "A History of the Czech Lands" is essential for scholars of Slavic, Central, and East European studies and a must-read for those who trace their ancestry to these lands.
