    The world is facing many great challenges: from pandemics to climate change, and from increasing inequality to the issues surrounding digitalization. In a new and rapidly changing global landscape, Europe must look for solutions to these difficulties to follow up on its impressive decades-long process of integration. Europe has the capacity to chart a progressive course in the world. Our European Future offers solutions to rethink our socioeconomic model in the glare of the environmental and digital transformations; to redefine Europe's role in the world to contribute to renewed multilateralism; to strengthen investment in public goods; and finally, to re-invent our democratic contract. The book brings together the insights of renowned experts from across Europe, and it should prove a handy guide for any progressive thinker, policymaker or activist, and for any citizen who would like to take part in the necessary democratic debate about our future. This book, edited by Maria João Rodrigues with the collaboration of François Balate, is a first contribution from the Foundation for European Progressives Studies to the Conference on the Future of Europe and beyond.

    Kniha o kolektivní vině, individuálním osudu a pokání. Autor se ptá, jak se stáváme odpovědnými za zločiny, kterých jsme se přímo nedopustili a ani jsme neměli sílu jim zabránit. Děj příběhu se odehrává v československém pohraničí krátce po druhé světové válce za odsunu německého obyvatelstva. Hlavními postavami jsou starší Čech a mladá Němka, a především atmosféra krajiny po katastrofě. Jaroslav Durych se svým poetickým a hluboce symbolickým románem vyrovnává s moderní dobou bez Boha a bez naděje. Boží duha se řadí mezi vrcholná Durychova díla.
