Book excerpt: Set in Ukraine, a terrifying novel of war, occupation and the totalitarian mind in action. 'Fascinating ... Blunden was in Russia during the war, and he was one of the correspondents who entered Kharkov ...The Time of the Assassins is history told from the dust's perspective [with] the truly nightmarish aspect of the experience of the survivors of Kharkov' New Yorker In the late fall of 1941 the Germans entered Kharkov, at that time capital of the Ukraine. Sixteen months later the Red Army drove them out - and a new terror was unleashed. A terrifying dissection of German and Russian psychology, this is the story of the city's inhabitants, man of whom were hanged. Others lived on with simple survival their only goal. Then, as the tide of war turned westward from Stalingrad, the Communist underground returned surreptitiously to Kharkov - and a new fear was abroad. Already distant artillery fire was heard - and new assassins were soon to come. Blunden was among the handful of foreign correspondents to return to Kharkov with the Russians. What he saw at first hand, plus his imaginative insight into the complex and desperate forces which had been at work during the German occupation, provided the genesis of THE TIME OF THE ASSASSINS.
Download or read book Th e Gate of Darkness written by Hsia Tsian and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the few foundational texts to provide a critical overview of the aesthetics and politics of the leftist literary movement in China, The Gate of Darkness was previously published by the University of Washington Press in 1968 to great critical acclaim. Posthumously edited by the author's brother Professor C. T. Hsia, this book critiques the works of leftist Chinese writers including Lu Hs?n, Chiang Kuangtz'u, and the "Five Martyrs." As one of the few foundational texts to provide a critical overview of the aesthetics and politics of China's leftist literary movement, The Gate of Darkness examines the conflicting dilemmas between leftist authors' own ideals and the strict ideological frameworks imposed by the propaganda policies of the Chinese Communist Party in the early twentieth century. Numerous reviews appearing in the leading East Asian studies journals have acknowledged the historical importance of the book which has few comparisons. The cultural critic Leo Oufan Lee believes that this book gives one of the most significant scholarly analyses of Lu Xun's work towards the end of his life, revealing the "darkness" that pervaded his later works such as "Wild Grass." He calls Tsian Hsia "a creative and compassionate scholar" who has opened Lu Hs?n's inner "gate of darkness" to unveil "a fascinating world of demons and ghosts as dramatized in village operas and popular superstitions."
Download or read book Charco Harbour written by Godfrey Blunden and published by Orion. This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the legendary Captain James Cook. It is 1768. War has broken out in Europe and the British Admiralty wants a base in the Western Pacific. So Captain James Cook and a company of nearly a hundred seamen and philosophers are despatched into those beautiful but perilous seas that lie between Terra Australis Incognita and the Great Barrier Reef, the never-before-penetrated realm of fin-back whales, sea-serpents, manatee, turtles and sharks, a maze of coral reefs and thousands of islets, some of which mysteriously send the compass needle spinning... Inevitably they are wrecked. After twenty-three hours on the rocks they claw-off and limp into a desolate mainland river estuary, greeted by cries of 'Charco!' from invisible inhabitants. For forty-nine days they are castaway in Charco Harbour, neaped by tides and imprisoned by contrary winds, making contact with one of the strangest and most mysterious of native societies, since lost to the world. In this closely-researched novel the reader will meet the Cook of the old logs and contemporary chronicles, the Cook who dominated mutinous crewmen and complaining passengers by sheer will and temper... the rall red-headed Yorkshiremen, the ex-collier's mate who could knock a man down with his fist, the flogging Captain, the Cook who neither drank nor smoked but could not resist peeping at native women through his spyglass... Cook the anti-hero, albeit the nonpareil of Navigators.
