The author examines the clientele of the Bratislava booksellers Anton Löwe and Philip Ulrich Mahler in the context of the Hungarian book trade from 1770 to 1800. By analysing the extant correspondence of Michal Institoris Mošovský, a protestant pastor in Bratislava, she was able to partially identify one segment of their customer base - protestant clergymen. For many years these members of the petty intelligentsia purchased from the Bratislava booksellers, in particular imported works by the German pietists and Enlightenment theologians. The author also investigated the social and geographical limits of the distribution process, some of the contact and distribution networks, and the identity of key figures., Petronela Križanová., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Známý kritik politiky Spojených států, lingvista a filozof Noam Chomsky v této publikaci rozvíjí své již dříve vyslovované teze a argumenty. Recenzent považuje jeho snahu zastávat se politicky marginalizovaných subjektů za sympatickou a leckteré postřehy za výstižné, vyčítá mu však jednostranné protiamerické zaujetí a zjednodušování problémů. V českém prostředí, kde jsou média naladěna naopak zřetelně proamericky, nicméně pokládá tuto knihu za užitečnou. and In the volume under review, the Czech translation of Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance (2003), Noam Chomsky, the well-known critic of US policy, a linguist, and philosopher, develops his earlier ideas and arguments. The reviewer considers Chomsky’s attempt to stand up for the politically marginalized to be an engaging one, and sees some of his observations as apposite. Nevertheless, the reviewer reproaches Chomsky for his one-sided anti-Americanism and oversimplification of the problems. All in all, however, the reviewer considers the work useful for Czechs, whose news media are clearly pro-American.
