Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Russia that Satter depicts in this brave, engaging book cannot be ignored . . . Required reading for anyone interested in the post-Soviet state” (Newsweek). Anticipating a new dawn of freedom after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russians could hardly have foreseen the reality of their future a decade later: A country impoverished and controlled at every level by organized crime. This riveting book views the 1990s reform period through the experiences of individual citizens, revealing the changes that have swept Russia and their effect on Russia’s age-old ways of thinking. “With a reporter’s eye for vivid detail and a novelist’s ability to capture emotion, he conveys the drama of Russia’s rocky road for the average victimized Russian . . . This is only half the story of what is happening in Russia these days, but it is the shattering half, and Satter renders it all the more poignant by making it so human.” —Foreign Affairs “[Satter] tells engrossing tales of brazen chicanery, official greed and unbearable suffering . . . Satter manages to bring the events to life with excruciating accounts of real Russians whose lives were shattered.” —The Baltimore Sun “Satter must be commended for saying what a great many people only dare to think.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) “Humane and articulate.” —The Spectator “Vivid, impeccably researched and truly frightening . . . Western policy-makers would do well to study these pages.” —National Post
Download or read book The Beginning of Sorrows written by E. R. Webb and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly everybody got sick. They won't let us leave.' 'Everyone is sick? Who won't let you go?' Lucy pressed to Lewis's side, grasping his arm closely with both hands. 'The people in the yellow suits who came to help us; they put us in tents. All of Dafne's turkeys died, and then everybody got real sick.' 'God help us.' The Beginning of Sorrows, ER Webb's third novel in a series of six, finds the world on the brink of a global viral pandemic that threatens the lives of millions and the economic ruin of nations. The pandemic, introduced manually by a Russian bio-terrorist into two turkey farms in Israel in an attempt to eradicate the tiny nation, rapidly escapes the boundaries of Israel and spreads over the globe. World centers for disease control are caught flatfooted, with no hope of stemming the viral tide. While scientists race to contain the virus, a select team known as the Pallium Project make an astounding scientific discovery-a serendipitous breakthrough that relies upon the properties of nega-mass activity-which could prove to be the means to halt the spreading pestilence, and an opportunity to ease the rising tensions between the USA and Russia. The Beginning of Sorrows is another start-to-finish read from ER Webb as global events unfold with gripping tension. Is The Beginning of Sorrows the beginning of the end?
Download or read book On the Margins written by Ellen Rees and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the work of six women prose writers of the 1930s, placing them for the first time within the broader context of European and American literary modernism. These writers: Stina Aronson, Karen Blixen, Karo Espeseth, Hagar Olsson, Cora Sandel, and Edith Oberg, have been doubly marginalized. Their work has long been viewed as anomalous within the Scandinavian literary canon, but, apart from Karen Blixen, it also remains marginalized from examinations of women writers produced outside Scandinavia. Themes in their work include representations of consciousness, hybridity, and experimentation with literary forms. Each writer's work exhibits a strong sense of ambiguity, which takes many forms and challenges received notions about identity.
