Описание: The Velvet Revolution in November 1989 brought about the collapse of the authoritarian communist regime in what was then Czechoslovakia, marking the beginning of the country's journey towards democracy. Though members of the elite have spoken about the transition to democracy, the experiences of ordinary people have largely gone untold. In Velvet Revolutions, Miroslav Vanek and Pavel M�cke examine the values of everyday citizens who lived under so-called real socialism, as well as how their values changed after the 1989 collapse. Based on 300 interviews, Vanek and M�cke give voice to everyone from farmers to managers, service workers to marketing personnel, manual laborers to members of the armed forces. Compelling and diverse, the oral histories touch upon the experience - and absence - of freedom, the value of family and friends, the experience of free time, and perceptions of foreign nations. Data from opinion polls conducted between 1970 and 2013 factor into the book's analysis, creating a well-rounded view of the ways in which popular thoughts, trends, and attitudes changed as Czech society transitioned from communism to democracy. From this rich foundation, Velvet Revolutions builds a multi-layered view of Czech history before 1989 and during the subsequent period of democratic transformation.

Описание:
Father Jake Austin's alcoholic father suddenly returns to town, decades after deserting him as a young boy. His dad is fleeing a vindictive drug lord and begs him for help. Although Jake detests his old man for abandoning him, he can't allow him to be murdered, so he enlists the help of his friend, Sheriff Tremont Macon. Because of his dad's deteriorating health, he is admitted to the hospital and placed in a room adjacent to an injured drug mule, allowing Macon to station an armed guard outside their rooms for protection.
Despite police security, the gang murders the drug mule and Sheriff Macon decides to place Jake's father into protective custody in jail. There, he learns that Jake's dad has not only stolen uncut cocaine from the drug dealers but has also witnessed the kingpin order a murder. The mob wants the coke back and Austin Sr. dead.
Because the mob cannot get to Jake's father, they unleash their wrath on the people closest to Jake and the violence escalates. Will the sins of the father be visited on his son, as prophesied in the Bible? In a desperate attempt to shut the drug ring down, the FBI asks Jake to be the bait in a sting operation. Will Jake turn his back on the father who deserted him as a child, or will he turn the other cheek and save him from a vengeful drug lord, risking his own life and the lives of those he loves?

Описание:
When Father Jake Austin is assigned to his hometown of Oberlin, Ohio, in July of 2002, he has been away for a long time. A physician and a war veteran before entering a Catholic seminary, he is now a member of the Camillian Order. He takes comfort in his vows of obedience, poverty, chastity, and service to the sick.
Jake arrives just in time to attend his high school reunion, where an encounter with his high school sweetheart forces him to question his commitment to the priesthood. Before the night is over, one of his classmates will be dead, a second gravely wounded, and a third hospitalized. The carnage at the reunion comes on the heels of what appears to be an unrelated murder at the quarry. Overseeing the investigation is Jake's former football teammate, Chief of Police Tremont "Tree" Macon, who is unwilling to rule out anyone as a suspect, not even Jake. As he struggles to prove his innocence and to find his footing in a town that remembers him as a hellion, Jake searches for threads that will connect these brutal attacks.
The war may be long past, but in some ways Jake is still waiting for his DEROS: Date of Expected Return from Overseas. Can he put aside his own demons long enough to find the living, breathing devil who stalks his classmates?

Описание:
In his hometown of Oberlin, Ohio, Father Jake Austin assumes multiple, often seemingly incompatible roles of physician, priest, healer and detective. Having served as a physician and a soldier before entering a Catholic seminary, he is now a member of the Camillian Order and takes comfort in his service to the sick.
When a comatose infant is admitted to the hospital, Jake must serve the young Catholic parents while working with the local chief of police, Tree Macon, to investigate. Is it SIDS, or something more? Meanwhile, Jake's responsibilities have increased beyond priest and physician to full-time uncle. His half-sister, Justine, a single mother critically ill with leukemia, is staying in the rectory with her son. Jake is her closest related donor for a possible bone marrow transplant.
The Bishop asks Jake to investigate the reports of a Virgin Mary statue that weeps blood. Father Jake asks his close friend, Emily to help him figure out if it is a hoax or a true miracle. With each case, Jake hopes for miracles, and disaster produces unexpected good from evil as Jake's faith is reaffirmed in his pursuit of truth.
Book 2 in the Father Jake Austin Mystery series.
