| Abstract: | "Max Egremont, author of Some Desperate Glory, tells stories from the 'Glass Wall' between Europe and Asia"-- "The Glass Wall features an extraordinary cast of characters--contemporary and historical, foreign and indigenous--who have lived and fought in the Baltic, western Europe's easternmost stronghold. Too often the destiny of this region has seemed to be to serve as the front line in other people's wars. By telling the stories of warriors and victims, of philosophers and barons, of poets and artists, of rebels and emperors, and of others who lived through years of turmoil and violence, Max Egremont sets forth a brilliant account of a long-overlooked region, on a frontier whose limits may still be in doubt." -- |

Too often the destiny of this region has seemed to be to serve as the front line in other people's wars. By telling the stories of warriors and victims, of philosophers and barons, of poets and artists, of rebels and emperors, and of others who lived through years of turmoil and violence, Max Egremont sets forth a brilliant account of a long-overlooked region, on a frontier whose limits may still be in doubt." --</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Baltikum</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4004379-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Baltic States / History</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Germans / Baltic States / History</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Russians / Baltic States / History</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Baltic States / History / German occupation, 1941-1944</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Baltic States / History / Soviet occupation, 1939-1941</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Egremont, Max / 1948- / Travel / Baltic States</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">HISTORY / Europe / Eastern</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Egremont, Max / 1948-</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Germans</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Russians</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Travel</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Baltic States</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">1939-1944</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">History</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Baltikum</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4004379-4</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033338700&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Literaturverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033338700&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Register // Gemischte Register</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033338700&sequence=000005&line_number=0003&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="n">oe</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="q">BSB_NED_20220610</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="c">306.09</subfield><subfield code="e">22/bsb</subfield><subfield code="g">479</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="943" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">oai:aleph.bib-bvb.de:BVB01-033338700</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
