This reminds me of working with early medieval sources in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica as a student: an annalist would spend half a page describing a wedding, then mention in a single sentence that 100,000 Goths had crossed the Danube.

Indeed, the renown publisher Geca Kon rejected the publication as it was too traumatic, with the logic that it is better to forget. I think the experience of this retreat in 1915 also shaped the decision of Milan Nedić to accept to be the Serbian maréchal Pétain in Second World War.

Did Nikola Tesla truly sit there as lightning exploded around him? My new Substack looks at the trick behind the photo, the self-fashioning of scientists, and where Tesla really was in his life when he posed as a “wizard” of electricity. open.substack.com/pub/milosvoj...

Nothing says how it is to be a scholar like a €30 paywall on an article about how hard it is to be an early-career scholar. The abstract is free, the irony is extra.

Stunning artwork in the turbine room of the Djerdap Hydroelectric Dam. The sculpture "Power of Danube" was made by Frano Delale. Cold War dams as a point where modernisation, state power, and technocracy met, from Assuan to Djerdap, and from China to Brazil...

No, it's not from a Lawrence of Arabia movie set. When Robert Capa went to Tunisia to photograph US troops in 1943, he took some extraordinary photos of “camel companies”.
