Minor intelligentsia, significantly influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment and the policy and practice of the church before 1848, included the bishopric priests. The authors show not only their gradual formation, but on concrete examples they prove their mutual relationships, influences and individual activities. The fates of butcher’s, miller’s, farmer’s or weaver’s boys show, on the one hand, the social and professional variety of these representatives of future small town and village elites, on the other hand they point out to important relationships between centres such as Prague or Vienna and the periphery which, in the early nineteenth century, included Budweis and other cities not just in the South of Bohemia., Miroslav Novotný a Tomáš Veber., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Autor podle recenzenta zpracoval precizní, faktograficky bohatou a čtivou analýzu politických a diplomatických vztahů mezi Československem a Itáliím ve dvacátých letech minulého století, která je časově vymezena nástupem Mussoliniho fašistů k moci a ukončením smluvně založené spolupráce obou zemí. Tím se mu víceméně podařilo vyplnit jedno „bílé místo“ na mapě mezinárodních vztahů první Československé republiky. Recenzent mimo jiné oceňuje široké využití italských archivních pramenů a kritické hodnocení činů ministra zahraničí Edvarda Beneše, na druhé straně postrádá zachycení hospodářských vztahů mezi Prahou a Římem., Ondřej Houska, the author of the work under review (whose title translates as Prague against Rome: Czechoslovak-Italian Relations, 1922–29), has, according to the reviewer, created a readable work, based on the careful analysis of a great deal of information, about Czechoslovak-Italian political and diplomatic relations in the 1920s, from the coming to power of Mussolini and his Fascists to the breakdown of treaty-based cooperation between the two countries. In this way, he has largely succeeded in filling a gap in our knowledge of the international relations of the first Czechoslovak Republic. The reviewer praises, among other things, Houska’s use of a broad range of Italian archive records and his critical assessment of the actions of the Czechoslovak Minister of Foreign Affairs, Edvard Beneš (1884–1948). He argues, however, that the author has neglected economic relations between Prague and Rome., and [autor recenze] Miroslav Šepták.
Based on available sources and literature, this paper seeks to describe the relatively little-known process of separating the area of the newly-established Czechoslovak Republic from the Austrian-Hungarian currency, which tended towards inflation in 1918. The Finance Minister Alois Rašín flawlessly secured a financial operation which placed the Czechoslovak currency on a solid foundation.
