Book Description
Several years ago, I read the diary of St. Faustina about divine mercy and became devoted to the idea that God's greatest attribute is his mercy and the promise he made to those who say the Divine Mercy Chaplet with or for a dying person that that person will die not only peacefully but also that Jesus will act as the giver of divine mercy, not as just judge. When I actually witnessed the peaceful death of a friend for whom I prayed the regular chaplet, I became a very strong believer and advocate of this prayer. But Jesus asks us to meditate on his sorrowful passion, not just to robotically say words. So I tried to put meditative thoughts to go with the prayer, not to be read daily but to be a fertile resource for helping us to meditate on Jesus? sorrowful passion for both the chaplet and the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary.
Author Bio
I completed my BA in History, M.Phil. in Russian and East European Studies and a D.Phil. at the University of Oxford. I have worked in the History Department at Exeter since 2004.
Research Interests
I am currently working on a number of books:
1. (with Péter Apor) on the impact of the politics of decolonisation, peaceful co-existence, anti-imperialism, and market socialism on official and unofficial activist culture in late socialist Hungary.
2. (with Artemy Kalinovsky and Steffi Marung, (eds.) Alternative Globalistions. Eastern Europe and the Postcolonial World (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2019)
3. (with Ljubica Spaskovska, Tobias Rupprecht and Bogdan Iacob) 1989. A Global History of Eastern Europe (CUP, 2019)
4. (with Paul Betts, eds.) on Socialism Goes Global: Encounters between the Eastern Bloc and Decolonising World.
Over the past decade, I have published on the way in which history gets recast at moments of major political change, addressing the ways in which political elites, cultural institutions, institutes of memory, and ordinary people have contributed to the re-imagining of the past after the fall of Communism in eastern Europe after 1989. This resulted in: The Unfinished Revolution: Making Sense of the Communist Past in central-eastern Europe. It was shortlisted for the 2011 Longman History Today Book Prize, and chosen as one of the 'best books of 2011' by Foreign Affairs.
