Download or read book The Russians on the Amur written by Ernest George Ravenstein and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russians on the Amur: Its Discovery, Conquest, and Colonisation, With a Description of the Country, Its Inhabitants, Productions, and Commercial Capabilities; And Personal Accounts of Russian Travellers The progress of Russia in Asia, her rapid strides in the direction of India, and the acquisition from China of pro vinces far exceeding the British Islands in extent, cannot fail of being important to a nation with such vast interests at stake in China and the East as England has. In presenting therefore a work on Russian advance on the Amur, within the confines of the Celestial Empire, we feel that we are laying before the public a subject well worthy of their attention. It has been our endeavour to convey a correct idea of the past and present condition of 'the countries we treat of, their productions, inhabitants, and germs of future development, information of value not only to the geographer, politician, or merchant, but also attractive to that' daily-increasing portion of the public who find a pleasure in studying the state and prospects of distant countries.

Download or read book Russian Memories Classic Reprint written by Madame Olga Novikoff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Memories They are barbarians, these Russians says someone to his friend. But the friend turns a deaf ear. I happen to know one of them, says he. A beautiful and clever woman always charms, whatever her nationality may be, and it is possible for her to make conquests that predicate nothing of the nation to which she belongs. That is true, and therein lay the true grace and genius of Madame Novikoff. She was not merely a clever and charm ing woman, she was Russia herself. Russia lent her charm. Thus her friends were drawn from serious and vital England. Gladstone learned from her what Russia was. The great Liberal, the man who, whatever his virtues, and despite his high religious fervour, yet committed Liberalism to anti-clericalism and secularism, learned from her to pronounce the phrase, Holy Russia. He esteemed her. With his whole spiritual nature he exalted her. She was his Beatrice, and to her more than to anyone in his life he brought flowers. Morley has somehow omitted this in his biography of Gladstone. Like so many intellectual Radicals he is afraid of idealism. But in truth the key to the more beautiful side of Gladstone's character might have been found in his relationship to Madame Novikoff. And possibly that friendship laid the real foundation of the understanding between the two nations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sources of the Self written by Charles Taylor and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1992-03-01 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this extensive inquiry into the sources of modern selfhood, Charles Taylor demonstrates just how rich and precious those resources are. The modern turn to subjectivity, with its attendant rejection of an objective order of reason, has led—it seems to many—to mere subjectivism at the mildest and to sheer nihilism at the worst. Many critics believe that the modern order has no moral backbone and has proved corrosive to all that might foster human good. Taylor rejects this view. He argues that, properly understood, our modern notion of the self provides a framework that more than compensates for the abandonment of substantive notions of rationality. The major insight of Sources of the Self is that modern subjectivity, in all its epistemological, aesthetic, and political ramifications, has its roots in ideas of human good. After first arguing that contemporary philosophers have ignored how self and good connect, the author defines the modern identity by describing its genesis. His effort to uncover and map our moral sources leads to novel interpretations of most of the figures and movements in the modern tradition. Taylor shows that the modern turn inward is not disastrous but is in fact the result of our long efforts to define and reach the good. At the heart of this definition he finds what he calls the affirmation of ordinary life, a value which has decisively if not completely replaced an older conception of reason as connected to a hierarchy based on birth and wealth. In telling the story of a revolution whose proponents have been Augustine, Montaigne, Luther, and a host of others, Taylor’s goal is in part to make sure we do not lose sight of their goal and endanger all that has been achieved. Sources of the Self provides a decisive defense of the modern order and a sharp rebuff to its critics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twice Born in Russia: My Life Before and in the Revolution It is unique also for the singular spirit in which it is written, a spirit remarkably devoid of rancour, bitterness, or revenge. It is both an indictment of the pre-revolutionary aristoc racy for its blindness, its stupidity, its other worldliness, and its anachronistic methods of educating its own (in this connection I found the early and less dramatic chapters extremely illuminating) and, at the same time, the author herself, by her own qualities, testifies however indirectly to the sort of character engendered by such education, a character the bases of which are courage, disinterestedness, and pride.

Download or read book The House of the Dead written by Fedor Dostoiesffsky and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The House of the Dead: Or Prison Life in Siberia "The Russian nation is a new and wonderful phenomenon in the history of mankind. The character of the people differs to such a degree from that of the other Europeans that their neighbours find it impossible to diagnose them." This affirmation by Dostoieffsky, the prophetic journalist, offers a key to the treatment in his novels of the troubles and aspirations of his race. He wrote with a sacramental fervour whether he was writing as a personal agent or an impersonal, novelist or journalist. Hence his rage with the calmer men, more gracious interpreters of the modern Sclav, who like Ivan Tourguenieff were able to see Russia on a line with the western nations, or to consider her maternal throes from the disengaged safe retreat of an arm-chair exile in Paris. Not so was I dme Russe to be given her new literature in the eyes of M.Dostoieffsky, strained with watching, often red with tears and anger. Those other nations, he said - proudly looking for the symptoms of the world-intelligence in his own - those other nations of Europe may maintain that they have at heart a common aim and a common ideal. In fact they are divided among themselves by a thousand interests, territorial or other. Each pulls his own way with ever-growing determination. It would seem that every individual nation aspires to the discovery of the universal ideal for humanity, and is bent on attaining that ideal by force of its own unaided strength. Hence, he argued, each European nation is an enemy to its own welfare and that of the world in general. To this very disassociation he attributed, without quite understanding the rest of us, our not understanding the Russian people, and our taxing them with "a lack of personality." We failed to perceive their rare synthetic power - that faculty of the Russian mind to read the aspirations of the whole of human kind.
