Tihomir Cipek – Josip Vrandečić

READER OF LIBERAL IDEAS IN CROATIA

ISBN: 953-6770-5-3

Bookshop price:

The Reader presents and systematizes relevant materials from the history of the liberal idea, i.e. liberal contents in the political thought in Croatia from the period of Enlightenment to the present day. It contains 60-odd political texts of the liberal content by 40-odd political thinkers in Croatia, beginning with the leaders of the Croatian Revival Movement to the most prominent Croatian liberal of the end of the 20th century, Vlado Gotovac. The texts range from programmatic manifests, legal drafts, newspaper articles, memoir records, political and theoretical studies to political speeches. Every featuring author is introduced with a brief bibliographic reference. Three treatises introduce the materials (those by T. Cipek\', H.-G. Fleck and J. Vrandečić) considering the conceptual determination of liberalism, development in the European political history and its Croatian historical determinants.
Through selected documents and introductory studies the editors of the Reader show that the Croatian liberalism and liberal nationalism of the 19th century were compatible ideologies since the Croatian liberals of the time, following the European model, believed it was impossible to create a political community founded on the political and civil rights in the state governed by a foreigner. Liberal ideas were in the function of creating a sovereign Croatian state which could not be conceived without grounds in the liberal values: national sovereignty, tripartite government, protection of civil rights, independent judiciary, etc. The presentation of the political documents of the 20th century, on the other hand, depicts a weakened liberal position which (unsuccessfully) strove to resist totalitarianism which had affected the Croatian society.

reader/textbook


Explanation:
A "reader" is, well, something intended to be read, but it's not a novel, more like a textbook.

In Russian a "hrestomatija" is like a compilation of excerpts from well known works of literature.

neutral  Mark Daniels: I am sure this the exact same technical term, but I doubt many native speakers of English know that word! I have certainly NEVER encountered it in English...
3 mins
  -> well. that's why it was translated as above "READER OF LIBERAL ..." ... however, the explanation was given by an original English Dictionary ...
agree  Will Matter: I know and use this word. The fact that most speakers may or may not know this word bears no relationship to the validity of this answer. Good job, BUZOV.
11 mins
  -> Thanks, Willmatter !
agree  Mihailolja: True I've never heard of the word either but as Will says above that's neither here nor there ;-)
49 mins
  -> Thanks
agree  RINA LINGUISTIC SERVICES, Katarina Radojevic- Mitrovic: Postovani kolega, to sto neki neuki nisu culi za ovu rec je njiihov propust, a Vama svaka cast za odgovor.
6 hrs
  -> Zahvaljujem, poštovana koleginice !
agree  Nives: Kolega, slažem se, prijevod treba biti što vjerniji originalu, bez obzira hoće li široke narodne mase znati za njega. Uostalom, uvijek postoji neka eng. varijanta Klaića :-)
