Shelley: The Poet of Rebellion, Nature, and Love
Waterlow gives a brief, unpretentious account of the life and works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, who is regarded as one of the finest lyric poets of the English language. Not merely a biography of events, this is an analysis of the age in which Shelley lived his almost 30 years (1792-1822), the character of the young man, and the messages embodied in Shelley's poems. A few quotes:"In the case of most great writers our interest in them as persons is derived from our interest in them as writers; we are not very curious about them except for reasons that have something to do with their art. With Shelley it is different. During his life he aroused fears and hatreds, loves and adorations, that were quite irrelevant to literature; and even now, when he has become a classic, he still causes excitement as a man.""The object of these pages is not to idealise either his life, his character, or his works. The three are inseparably connected, and to understand one we must understand all.""... he happened to be steeped in philosophical ways of thinking. The forms in which he gave it expression are predominantly melancholy, because this kind of idealism, with its insistence on the unreality of evil, is the recoil from life of an unsatisfied and disappointed soul. His philosophy of love is but a special case of this all-embracing doctrine.""Of all his verse, it is these songs about nature and love that every one knows and likes best. And, in fact, many of them seem to satisfy what is perhaps the ultimate test of true poetry: they sometimes have the power, which makes poetry akin to music, of suggesting by means of words something which cannot possibly be expressed in words."Waterlow illustrates his analysis of Shelley with many excerpts from Shelley's poems. If the reader wants to understand Shelley, this book would be a good place to start, even before reading the poetry itself.(Since the original book was published prior to 1923, it is in the public domain in the United States. It may be in the public domain in other countries, based upon the date the author died.)

The Story of a Nodding Donkey
From the "Make Believe Stories":The Nodding Donkey dated his birth from the day he received the beautiful coat of varnish in the workshop of Santa Claus at the North Pole. Before that he was just some pieces of wood, glued together. His head was not glued on, however, but was fastened in such a manner that with the least motion the Donkey could nod it up and down, and also sidewise.It is not every wooden donkey who is able to nod his head in as many ways as could the Donkey about whom I am going to tell you. This Nodding Donkey was an especially fine toy, and, as has been said, his first birthday was that on which he received such a bright, shiny coat of varnish.

Las relaciones entre Checoslovaquia y América Latina 1945-1989. En los archivos de la República Checa
Čtveřice autorů prezentuje první rozsáhlejší pokus o mapování vztahů Československa a Latinské Ameriky v období studené války. Vzhledem k tomu, že doposud není k dispozici sekundární literatura (s výjimkou nedávných časopiseckých studií a velmi omezeného počtu publikací starších), je práce opřena téměř výlučně o pramenný materiál, zejména z Archivu Ministerstva zahraničních věcí, Národního archivu a Archivu bezpečnostních složek. Výzkum ukázal různou intenzitu zájmu československých politických a ekonomických elit o jednotlivé země regionu, preferována byla Brazílie, Argentina, Mexiko a po roce 1959 Kuba. Současně je také patrná pragmatizace čs. zahraniční politiky, formálně byly sice zdůrazňovány politické a ideologické priority, v praxi však udržovalo Československo výhodně ekonomické vztahy i s brutálními vojenskými režimy (zvláště s Argentinou).

Vida y obra de Juan Bosch en el contexto de la historia de la República Dominicana
Španělská monografie je věnována životu a dílu Juana Bosche, výrazné osobnosti dějin nejen Dominikánské republiky, ale i celé Latinské Ameriky. Juan Bosch proslul kvalitou své literární tvorby, v politické oblasti pak jako nesmiřitelný odpůrce Trujillova diktátorského režimu – pro svůj postoj byl nucen trávit léta života v exilu. Ve svých historických textech kritizoval politiku Spojených států vůči státům na území za řekou Rio Grande. Dodnes je v celém tomto regionu uznávanou autoritou. Autoři ve svých příspěvcích současně přinášejí pohled na historii Dominikánské republiky v 19. a 20. století a sledují i vztahy této karibské země se střední Evropou.

The Education of Henry Adams
The Education of Henry Adams records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in early old age, to come to terms with the dawning 20th century, so different from the world of his youth. It is also a sharp critique of 19th century educational theory and practice. In 1907, Adams began privately circulating copies of a limited edition printed at his own expense. Commercial publication had to await its author's 1918 death, whereupon it won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize.
