Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lithuania is the birthplace of the Zemaitukas horse breed. The breed is well-known for its power, stamina, and adaptability and it can range in size from miniature to medium. The Lithuanian region of Zemaitija gave rise to this species, hence its name, "emaitukas," is a direct translation of the place name. These horses have a lengthy history in Lithuania and are regarded a national treasure. - Common agricultural and equestrian uses for Zemaitukas horses include plowing fields, pulling carts, and being ridden. They thrive in the local environment because of their resilience and versatility. They often have a small frame, powerful legs, and a nice disposition. In Lithuania, the Zemaitukas horse is revered as a relic of the country's rich equestrian history and is the subject of festivals and parades. To assure the breed's survival, measures have been taken to protect and promote it.

This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an analysis of 166 original and previously unpublished documents dating from the very first mention of a Gypsy in 1401 up to the year 1 765. These documents range from royal decrees thru lawsuits to entries in municipal records. Some were written in Polish but many are in Latin, German or Ruthenian. They tell the story of not only the Gypsies living in Poland, but also of those who now live in Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Ukraine. Though Poland has not traditionally had a large Roma population, the author leads the reader through an eventful history of a people living on the margins of contemporary Europe. The historic documents illustrate a marked contrast to present stereotypes and popular media images and shows how the position of Roma/Gypsies shifted gradually from respected, wealthy and partly settled citizens of the early modern times, towards criminalized vagrants of the 18 th century. This is a careful interpretation and re-interpretation of documents pertaining to the Roma's past that will provide an enlightening historical perspective towards the re-evaluation and self-definition of the Romani people in contemporary Europe.

Book excerpt: This book illustrates that the idea of a 'national' literature is profoundly problematic. Chapters on boundaries and crisscrossing show how a nation and its writers' works do not exist in isolation from their history. Stressing migration and (inter)cultural dialogue, authors explore how the characters in the texts establish a sense of belonging both within the context of migrations and within the context of Lithuania since its independence. The final series of essays in this book discusses Lithuanian literature abroad that is in translation.
