Bohemia's case for independence by Edvard Beneš Pdf
Beneš wrote his impassioned plea for independence in 1917, just before the end of the Great war. He was very fearful and pessimistic about his country's future, fully understanding the nature of the Magyars, Hapsburgs and Austrian people. He writes, "Dismember Austria-Hungary!" Remove from the Habsburgs the possibility of continuing to play their sinister part. Liberate the Austrian Slavs! Unite the Czecho-Slovaks and the Yugo-Slavs! Understand that after all it is in your interest, in the interest of Europe, and in the interest of humanity."

Independent Bohemia an Account of the Czechoslovak Struggle for Liberty (Classic Reprint) by Vladimir Nosek Pdf
Excerpt from Independent Bohemia an Account of the Czechoslovak Struggle for Liberty Events have moved rapidly in Austria, especially since the momentous British declaration of August 9, 1918, recognising the czecho-slovaks - those resident in the Allied countries as much as those in Bohemia as an Allied nation, and the czecho-slovak National Council - in Paris as well as in Prague - as the Provi sional Government of Bohemia. British statesmen already then foresaw the coming collapse of Austria and acted accordingly. It is also no more a secret to day that because of the promulgation of the British and United States declarations our Council was able to conclude special conventions with all the Allied Governments during September last, whereby all the powers exercised by a real government have been granted to it.

Bohemia's Case for Independence by Edouard Benes Pdf
Under this title, Dr. Edward Benes, general secretary of the Czechoslovak National Council of Paris, has just published a book setting forth the demands of the Bohemians and Slovaks. It is an excellent presentation of arguments with which readers of this Review are familiar. After a brief account of the Bohemian history, with a special chapter devoted to the wrongs of the Slovaks, the author describes the Pan-German plans which included the crushing of the Czechoslovaks as the first great obstacle to the German dreams of Central Europe. The chapter on Czechoslovaks and the War gathers together the most startling instances of oppression to which Bohemia has been subject since the war began. As the book was published in London and was intended primarily for English readers, a chapter has been added on the relations of England and Bohemia. A very full bibliography is a valuable feature of this little book of 132 pages. Henry Wickham Steed, for many years correspondent of the London Times in Vienna, author of the "Hapsburg Monarchy", writes the Introduction. He makes a strong argument for the dissolution of Austria-Hungary and quotes an old parody from Macmillan's Magazine of 1866: Who is Austria? What is she? That all our swells commend her? Dogged, proud and dull is she; The heavens such gifts did lend her That she might destroyed be. But what is Austria? Is it fair To name among the nations Some Germans who have clutched the hair Of divers populations, And having clutched, keep tugging there? We commend this book most warmly to our readers. If you want an American friend ignorant of Bohemia to take interest in Bohemia's independence, present him this book. It may be ordered from the Bohemian National Alliance, 3639 West Twenty-Sixth Street, Chicago. The famous Pilsner beer has ceased to be. No more barley can be spared for the making of beer. The great burghers' brewery is now making soft drinks, just like the breweries in the dry states, and the hops are fed to cattle. -The Czechoslovak Review, Vol. 1 [1917]
Excerpt from Bohemia: From the Earliest Times to the Fall of National Independence in 1620; With a Short Summary of Later Events Few countries have been more strangely mis understood by the average Englishman than Bohemia has been. The mischievous blunder Of some fifteenth century Frenchman, who confused the gipsies who had just arrived in France with the nation which was just then startling Europe by its resistance to the forces of the Empire, has left a deeper mark on the imagination Of most of our countrymen than the martyrdom of Hus or even the sufferings of our own Princess Elizabeth. The word Bohemian has passed into newspaper slang; and it has been so Often quoted in its Slang sense by people who ought to be more careful in their language, that it has really hindered the study Of the real country which it misrepresents. The few who care to hear anything more Of a people so strangely Slandered, have Often been yet further blinded by their readiness to accept as absolute truth the prejudices Of the German and Magyar opponents of the Bohemian national feeling. From these sources they have derived an impression. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bohemia, from the earliest times to the fall of national independence in 1620 by C. Edmund Maurice Pdf
"Bohemia" by C. Edmund Maurice is a book about the mischievous blunder of some fifteenth-century Frenchman, who confused the gypsies who had just arrived in France with the nation which was just then startling Europe by its resistance to the forces of the Empire, has left a deeper mark on the imagination of most of our countrymen than the martyrdom of Hus or even the sufferings of our own Princess Elizabeth. The book is written with an aim to impress on the readers some notable distinctive characters of the Bohemian language, and at the same time to secure the recognition of any places with whose names they are already familiar.
Bohemia has been variously defined as a mythical country, a state of mind, a tavern by the wayside on the road of life. The editors of this volume prefer a leaner definition: an attitude of dissent from the prevailing values of middle-class society, one dependent on the existence of caf life. But whatever definition is preferred, this rich and long overdue collective portrait of Bohemian life in a large variety of settings is certain to engage and even entrance readers of all types: from the student of culture to social researchers and literary figures n search of their ancestral roots. The work is international in scope and social scientific in conception. But because of the special nature of the Bohemian fascination, the volume is also graced by an unusually larger number of exquisite literary essays. Hence, one will find in this anthology writings by Malcolm Cowely, Norman Podhoretz, Norman Mailer, Theophile Gautier, Honore de Balzac, Mary Austin, Stefan Zweig, Nadine Gordimer, and Ernest Hemingway. Social scientists are well represented by Cesar Grana, Ephraim Mizruchi, W.I. Thomas, Florian Znaniecki, Harvey Zorbaugh, John R. Howard, and G. William Domhoff, among others.The volume is sectioned into major themes in the history of Bohemia: social and literary origins, testimony by the participants, analysis by critics of and crusaders for the bohemian life, the ideological characteristics of the bohemians, and the long term prospect as well as retrospect for bohemenianism as a system, culture and ideology. The editors have provided a framework for examining some fundamental themes in social structure and social deviance: What are the levels of toleration within a society? Do artists deserve and receive special treatment by the powers that be? And what are the connections between bohemian life-styles and political protest movements?This is an anthology and not a treatise, so the reader is free to pick and choose not only wha

Bohemian (Cech) Bibliography by Thomas Capek,Anna Vostrovsky Capek Pdf
An excerpt from the beginning of the INTRODUCTORY: It sounds incredible, yet it is literally true, that every Slavic nation was, before the war, and probably still is, better known to the English speaking people than the Bohemians (Czechs). What is the reason? That the Bohemians, who are the most literate of all the Slavs, have remained undiscovered may be attributed to three main causes: They are not a free nation. They are a landlocked nation. They are rated a small nation. The opportunities which a seacoast offers to a people, to mention the Dutch, Irish, Belgians, Norwegians, Swedes and Danes, all of whom are numerically smaller than the Bohemian-Slovaks are inestimable. In the forum of world's commerce and politics, the sea is their powerful sponsor. To a landlocked people this great boon is denied. Inland nations may reach the outside world through an intermediary only, and if that intermediary happens to be a powerful and ungenerous state, the policy of which is to keep its little neighbor in the background, the consequences are obvious. That there live in Central Europe Teutons and none others but Teutons was being daily demonstrated to the Americans by a most convincing proof. Almost every box of merchandise shipped here from that part of the world bore the tell-tale mark "Made in Germany." Rarely one saw at the terminals goods labelled "Made in Austria," and rarer still, "Made in Bohemia." And yet many an article of merchandise thus marked was really made in Bohemia, for parts of Bohemia teem with all kinds of wonderful industries. Because of centuries of political and economic subjection, the very existence of the nation has been lost sight of by the Anglo-Saxons. In the interval between the catastrophal defeat of the Bohemians in 1620 and 1848, the year of revolutionary changes, nothing has occurred in Bohemia to attract the attention of the world to the Bohemian nation. The Seven Years' War, and later the Napoleonic Wars, were events that concerned not Bohemia as an independent state, but the whole of the Hapsburg Empire. The Russians acquired renown in the first quarter of the nineteenth century by their defeat of Napoleon. Later, during the Crimean War, Russia again came into prominence in the Anglo-American press. Kosciuszko and Pulaski were names to be conjured with by the Polish immigrant. The uprisings in 1830 and in 1863 made sufficiently known to the Americans the ideals and the miseries of Poland. The Russo-Turkish War of 1877 and the Berlin Congress following it made the English reader familiar with the geography and political ambitions of the Balkan Slavs. The Serbs, the Bulgars, the Montenegrines were successively introduced to the newspaper man and through him to the public at large. Alone the Bohemians remained undiscovered, unknown. Before the war the average reader did not know where Bohemia was located with respect to Austria-Hungary. That ethnically, there might be a difference between a Czech, Hungarian and an Austrian he suspected, yet it was not wholly clear to him wherein the dissimilarity lay. One could cite countless instances of astonishing naiveté concerning the history of the nations which inhabit central and southeastern Europe. Four years ago a journalist and a writer who served on the western front in the capacity of a war correspondent made the astounding discovery that "the ancient Czech (Bohemian) language still continues to be spoken in Prague." It would no doubt amuse a Dutchman to read that "Dutch is still spoken in Amsterdam"; yet transpose Dutch for Bohemian and Prague for Amsterdam and the analogy is precise.
