<p> <b>Już nie II RP, jeszcze nie PRL. Niezwykły reportaż o Polsce z 1945 roku</b> </p> <p>Kiedy angielski dżentelmen odwiedzał nasz kraj w 1934 roku, pisał: </p> <p><i>W Anglii zaskakująco mało wie się o Polsce, a przecież to kraj, który za chwilę może być uznany za mocarstwo </i>(…)<i> – to nie zwykły parweniusz, lecz naród z historią i z przyszłością </i>(…)<i>, liczy ponad 30 000 000 osób, ma energicznych i ambitnych przywódców [a jego] możliwości są niemal nieskończone. </i>(…)<i> W gruncie rzeczy sporo polskich problemów rozwiąże się samoistnie, gdy Polska zyska to, czego potrzebuje najbardziej – dwadzieścia lat pokoju.</i></p> <p>Gdy w 1939 roku Bernard Newman kończył kolejną ze swoich rowerowych wypraw, jego słowa niosły złowieszcze przesłanie:</p> <p> <i>Próbuję przewidzieć losy Polski – jestem pewien, że ten mężny kraj przetrwa, ale o ile pewne znaki nie są szalenie mylące, to nadchodzą dla niego czasy cierpienia, a może i rozpaczy. Polacy jednak to twardy naród: przez sto pięćdziesiąt lat dławiły ich Rosja, Niemcy i Austria, a oni pozostali Polakami. Hitler nie przywiązuje wagi do historii, ja zaś tak. Niewykluczone, że kiedy ta książka się ukaże, Polska będzie toczyć walkę na śmierć i życie – i przetrwa, bo jej duch jest niezniszczalny.</i> </p> <p>Nadchodzi rok 1945. Warszawskie zgliszcza dopalają się na jego oczach, a on, brytyjski szpieg, rowerzysta i pisarz, znów stawia stopy na polskiej ziemi…</p> <p> <b>Powyższy opis pochodzi od wydawcy.</b> </p>

In Book II, poetry had been further collated that had been written during the Third Lockdown in Vienna, Austria, while the statistics of the Covid-19 pandemic showed a staggering increase in infections and deaths due to it. Pro and con corona health management filled the daily newspapers and TV debates. During this time the poet's art exhibition in downtown Vienna remained hung at Gallery Z, but visitor groups were forbidden to enter, and only individuals could visit on invitation at a prior appointment. Masks were obligatory in all public places and a general depressive mood spread throughout the communities. The poet had a good understanding with his friends, who appeared regularly on the social pages of the Internet. One still could feel a longing for hope and good wishes for staying healthy became an important regular ritual to live through this ordeal to see the turn of the pandemic tide. And yet, everybody became aware of the changing times thereafter. The poet had been blessed with his fount of memories that started to flow and provide him with many contemporary poems thanks to encouragement from friends and Muses.

Mark Chalmers, 36, dark haired, athletic, keen on skiing and winter sports, speaks fluent French and German and has a taste for wine, food and women. Sounds familiar? It is 1938, pre the Munich Agreement and post Anschluss. Chalmers, a master at Eton, is recruited by an old friend at the Foreign Office and introduced to his boss 'B'. Chalmers reluctantly agrees to take on a hazardous mission for British Intelligence – to parachute into Nazi-occupied Austria and pass on information to a British agent. In case of trouble he is given a suicide pill. Chalmers has no intention of committing himself beyond this one job but once he reaches his destination, he finds himself sucked into the cause fighting fascism with the Austrian-German Underground - until there is no turning back. With an introduction by Miles Jupp and David Stenhouse

En la Conferencia Mundial sobre "El papel de la Universidad en la lucha por la paz", realizada en Viena, Austria entre el 25 y 29 de agosto de 1969, Viktor Frankl pronuncia un discurso donde utiliza la palabra Monantropismo, y nos dice: "La mera supervivencia no puede ser el valor supremo. Ser hombre significa estar orientado y ordenado a algo que no es uno mismo. La existencia humana se caracteriza por su autotrascendencia. Cuando la existencia humana no apunta más allá de sí misma, la permanencia en la vida deja de tener sentido, es imposible". "Pero si la humanidad quiere encontrar un sentido que sea válido para todos, debe dar un nuevo paso. Después de haber alcanzado, hace miles de años, el monoteísmo, la fe en un solo Dios, debe llegar a creer en una sola humanidad. Hoy necesitamos más que nunca un monantropismo" (Viktor Frankl, en El Hombre doliente pág. 53 y 54. Editorial Herder. 2009). Hagamos que la vida valga cada día. Finalmente, no sabemos cuánto durará. Pero sí sabemos que el Hoy es nuestra posibilidad y realidad. No perdamos cada momento que la vida nos regala. Lo que hacemos en la vida resuena en la eternidad. No es lo que somos, ni lo que tenemos, ni lo que nos sucede. Durará por siempre lo que realicemos con destino de eternidad. Hagamos que los valores sean nuestra brújula existencial para lograr una sola humanidad: el Monantropismo, propuesto por el Dr. Viktor E. Frankl. Las velas mueren dando luz. Que toda nuestra vida sea luz para la humanidad. Luz alimentada por el sentido de nuestra existencia. Y que logremos trascender la misma, iluminando.

'Delighted to learn from this very enjoyable new book that the first ever game of football played in Austria was won by the Vienna Cricket Club.' - Tom Holland, Historian and Broadcaster Have we matched Wembley 1966 and 2022, or lost again on penalties? As a football fan in the Home Nations, there is at least one thing of which you can be sure. Even if sometimes other countries play it better than us, they'll forever have to thank Britain for the fun, the excitement, the tragedy, the triumph, the pain, the pleasure and the sheer gloriousness of the best sport in the world. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, it was Britain that first spread the beautiful game across the world. Cornish miners took football skills along with their pasties to Mexico; Iraqi football legend Ammo Baba learnt the game at an RAF base; the Buenos Aires Cricket Club gave the world Argentine football; and Romanian dentist Iuliu Weiner got not one an English education but a passion for football too. This is a book about football, yes, but it is also a book about all the countries of the world, about shared passion and shared humanity. It's How Britain Brought Football to the World.
