Book excerpt: No one in their right mind travels across Siberia in the middle of winter in a modified Russian jeep, with only a CD player (which breaks on the first day) for company. But Jacek Hugo–Bader is no ordinary traveler. As a fiftieth birthday present to himself, Jacek Hugo–Bader sets out to drive from Moscow to Vladivostok, traversing a continent that is two and a half times bigger than America, awash with bandits, and not always fully equipped with roads. But if his mission sounds deranged it is in keeping with the land he is visiting. For Siberia is slowly dying — or, more accurately, killing itself. This is a traumatized post–Communist landscape peopled by the homeless and the hopeless: alcoholism is endemic, as are suicides, murders, and deaths from AIDS. As he gets to know these communities and speaks to the people, Hugo–Bader discovers a great deal of tragedy, but also dark humor to be shared amongst the reindeer shepherds, the former hippies, the modern–day rappers, the homeless and the sick, the shamans, and the followers of ‘one of the six Russian Christs,’ just one of the many arcane religions that flourish in this isolated, impossible region.

Book excerpt: "Jean Overton Fuller's father, an Indian Army officer, was killed at the very beginning of the First World War in East Africa, before she was born. She led a rather peripatetic early life in England with her mother, in which her grandfather was for a time a guiding hand. She caught the attention of the national press when she was just seven for a collection of illustrations of coloured sounds hung at the Guildhall. While at school in London, she lived in hotels with her mother. They then moved to Brighton. She went to RADA and became a repertory actress. In the war she worked in Censorship in London." "She became a Theosophist, she has had paranormal experiences, she paints, she translates and writes poetry; she dotes on animals; she has been partner in a bookselling business; her range of published work covers subjects as diverse as Shelley and Madame Blavatsky, Swinburne and Krishnamurti, Sir Francis Bacon and Victor Neuburg (a lover of Aleister Crowley). But perhaps her most impressive contribution is her research into SOE. Her first, very successful, book was Madeleine, about Noor Inayat Khan, daughter of an Indian Sufi mystic and an American mother, who worked as an SOE radio operator, was betrayed and was shot in Dachau." "Noor's story raised a host of questions with the author about SOE and the German penetration of it; and she published several further books on the subject. One was her remarkable investigation into Henri Dericourt, the controversial French double agent (triple if you count his corrosive allegiance to himself), that makes for the oddest juxtaposition of author and subject but particularly won over reviewers. During the war in London she serves in the three-woman fire-fighting team of Pickaxe, Hose and Bucket (she is Pickaxe); and she passes her driving test after 277 lessons. Reading her book will not require the same tenacity."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Moving away from the explicitly political content of his previous novels, Victor Hugo turns to social commentary in The Man Who Laughs, an 1869 work that was made into a popular film in the 1920s. The plot deals with a band of miscreants who deliberately deform children to make them more effective beggars, as well as the long-lasting emotional and social damage that this abhorrent practice inflicts upon its victims.

Download or read book The Master and Margarita written by Mikhail Bulgakov and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satan comes to Soviet Moscow in this critically acclaimed translation of one of the most important and best-loved modern classics in world literature. The Master and Margarita has been captivating readers around the world ever since its first publication in 1967. Written during Stalin’s time in power but suppressed in the Soviet Union for decades, Bulgakov’s masterpiece is an ironic parable on power and its corruption, on good and evil, and on human frailty and the strength of love. In The Master and Margarita, the Devil himself pays a visit to Soviet Moscow. Accompanied by a retinue that includes the fast-talking, vodka-drinking, giant tomcat Behemoth, he sets about creating a whirlwind of chaos that soon involves the beautiful Margarita and her beloved, a distraught writer known only as the Master, and even Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate. The Master and Margarita combines fable, fantasy, political satire, and slapstick comedy to create a wildly entertaining and unforgettable tale that is commonly considered the greatest novel to come out of the Soviet Union. It appears in this edition in a translation by Mirra Ginsburg that was judged “brilliant” by Publishers Weekly. Praise for The Master and Margarita “A wild surrealistic romp. . . . Brilliantly flamboyant and outrageous.” —Joyce Carol Oates, The Detroit News “Fine, funny, imaginative. . . . The Master and Margarita stands squarely in the great Gogolesque tradition of satiric narrative.” —Saul Maloff, Newsweek “A rich, funny, moving and bitter novel. . . . Vast and boisterous entertainment.” —The New York Times “The book is by turns hilarious, mysterious, contemplative and poignant. . . . A great work.” —Chicago Tribune “Funny, devilish, brilliant satire. . . . It’s literature of the highest order and . . . it will deliver a full measure of enjoyment and enlightenment.” —Publishers Weekly
