The Mosse series promotes the vibrant international collaboration and community that George L. Mosse created during his lifetime. The series is committed to the translation of major innovative works by outstanding scholars in European cultural and intellectual history on topics close to the research interests of George Mosse. Besides translations, the series also publishes the Mosse lectures—a series of three lectures given every two years either at the University of Wisconsin–Madison or the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

 This book is based on the George L. Mosse lectures that Jan Assmann gave at the Hebrew University in December of 2004. As Assmann states in his introduction, this is a work "about the relationship between God and gods" but not primarily about the history of Biblical religion.  Rather he sees it as "the history not of monotheism, but of an idea, which he calls "the Mosaic distinction," the idea of an exclusive and emphatic Truth (with a capital "T") which sets God apart from everything that is not God and must not be worshiped, and which sets religion apart from what comes to be shunned as superstition, paganism or heresy."

 La Grande Italia
The Rise and Fall of the Myth of the Nation in the Twentieth Century
Emilio Gentile

La Grande Italia, which received excellent reviews from scholars and academic journals, is an important contribution to the study of modern Italian nationalism and the ambition to achieve a "great Italy" between the unification of Italy and the advent of the Italian Republic.

As stated in the introduction, "This book traces the history of the myth of the nation in contemporary Italy along the curve of its rise and fall," and in this manner "illustrates what the nation's and the national State's problems have been for the Italians of our era." By "Italians," Gentile means the whole range of political, cultural, and social actors, ranging from the Liberals to the Catholics, the Monarchists to the Republicans, the Fascists to the anti-Fascists, the Socialists to the Christian Democrats and even including the "man-in-the-street."

Thus this work presents a sweeping study of the development of Italian national identity in all its incarnations throughout the twentieth century.
