Download or read book The Big Horse and Other Stories of Modern Macedonia written by Milne Holton and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was not until after the Second World War and the successful struggle of Tito's partisans and the forging of a new Yugoslavia that Macedonia realized in some measure her autonomy as a republic, federated within that new state. It was only then that she had her own university, that Macedonian became the teaching language of her schools, and that she achieved a variety of self-government. It is pride in these achievements that has shaped the consciousness of her people. This collection offers for the first time in English representative stories of 20 writers, all of whom are still living, and all of whom began their careers after 1945. They are the writers of at least two generations: Some were partisans, but some never knew war and are still in their twenties or thirties. Their stories range from rather traditional work in imitation of Russian or European masters to radical experiments in the anti-story.

Download or read book The Columbia Guide to the Literatures of Eastern Europe Since 1945 written by Harold B. Segel and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Iron Curtain concealed from western eyes a vital group of national and regional writers. Marked by not only geographical proximity but also by the shared experience of communism and its collapse, the countries of Eastern Europe--Poland, Hungary, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, and the former states of Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany--share literatures that reveal many common themes when examined together. Compiled by a leading scholar, the guide includes an overview of literary trends in historical context; a listing of some 700 authors by country; and an A-to-Z section of articles on the most influential writers.
Download or read book Faceless Men Other Macedonian Stories written by Meto Jovanovski and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps villagers were the best natural critics of life under Communism in eastern Europe. Theirs is a perspective at once ironic, satiric and filled with stoicism. In these stories from Macedonia, Meto Jovanovski writes wittily against urban authorities, whose agents are everywhere and nowhere, and who conduct absurd 'modernizing' campaigns such as shooting all the dogs in the village. He writes tellingly of the indignities of queues, telephones, air travel and military conscription. And like John Berger, he persuades us that it is often the villager who is most in touch with the deepest realities of life. In 'Flight to Eternity', for example, it seems entirely natural that a man should gently make love to his dying wife: a powerful scene of the sort hard to find in the brutal and 'sophisticated' sexuality of modern literature.

This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most important work on Alexander the Great to appear in a long time. Neither scholarship nor semi-fictional biography will ever be the same again. . . .Engels at last uses all the archaeological work done in Asia in the past generation and makes it accessible. . . . Careful analyses of terrain, climate, and supply requirements are throughout combined in a masterly fashion to help account for Alexander's strategic decision in the light of the options open to him...The chief merit of this splendid book is perhaps the way in which it brings an ancient army to life, as it really was and moved: the hours it took for simple operations of washing and cooking and feeding animals; the train of noncombatants moving with the army. . . . this is a book that will set the reader thinking. There are not many books on Alexander the Great that do."—New York Review of Books
