Виктор Франкл, выдающийся венский психиатр, практикующий до начала второй Мировой войны, получил уникальную возможность наблюдать за тем, как он вместе с другими узниками Освенцима переживали (или нет) свое заточение. Он заметил, что дольше всех оставались в живых те, кто утешали других и отдавали свой последний кусок и кто доказал, что у них можно отнять все, но то, как относится к текущим событиям и как себя в них проявлять, они будут решать сами. То, каким стал человек, пройдя концлагерь, было результатом его выбора, а не влияния Освенцима. Франкл пришел к убеждению, что глубочайшее желание человека — поиск смысла и цели. Эта выдающаяся работа демонстрирует нам, как преодолеть страдания и найти смысл в искусстве жизни • язык издания: Английский • A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience

What makes the English so . . . English? The English are often confused about who they are. They say ‘British’ when they mean ‘English’, and ‘English’ when they should say ‘British.’ And when England, more than the rest of the UK, voted to leave the EU, polls showed national identity was a big concern. So it’s time the English sorted out in their minds what it means to be English. A nation’s character is moulded by its history. In Who Do the English Think They Are? historian and journalist Derek J. Taylor travels the length and breadth of the country to find answers. He discovers that the first English came from Germany, and then in the later Middle Ages almost became French. He tracks down the origins of English respect for the rule of law, tolerance and a love of political stability
