Alexander Nikolaevich Borodin

Zero emotions and psychology in the military style…

Probably, the whole of classical philosophy is saturated with uncertainty, in fact, everything is simple, there are emotional people and there are unemotional people. Some emotional people do not know what to do with their emotions, suppress them, nullify or implement, and if suppress or implement, then how to do it without any negative consequences in the future. According to the author, these are in most cases those who grew up in an incomplete or in a so-called dysfunctional family.

Turbopatriotyzm

Marcin Napiórkowski

Turbopatriotyzm

Kto chce lepiej zrozumieć współczesną Polskę, powinien uważniej przyjrzeć się jej modelom patriotyzmu. Naszą sferę publiczną organizuje nie zderzenie dwóch partii, lecz znacznie od niego głębszy podział na Polskę Uśmiechniętą, której symbolem stał się czekoladowy orzeł Bronisława Komorowskiego, i Polskę Ufortyfikowaną – kroczącą w Marszu Niepodległości i opisywaną barwnie w przemówieniach polityków prawicy. To softpatriotyzm i turbopatriotyzm. Z jednej strony otwartość, optymistyczny pochód ku...

Champavert

Petrus Borel the Lycanthrope

Champavert

Champavert was the archetypal collection of the French «contes cruels,» and the book still remains among the cruellest of them all. It is also one of the greatest collections of short stories ever published; the only reason that it has never been translated before is that the job was so challenging that only an insane person would tackle it. Pétrus Borel the Lycanthrope (as he called himself) declared himself dead before the book was published, but not many people believed him, even though he...

The Room Next Door

Nicolas Papaconstantinou

The Room Next Door

Written between 2006 and 2018, this collection features short stories (and other weird writing) that find the strange in the mundane, or make the normal seem peculiar. A dusty night across a sleeping city. A hole in a wall. Rooms next door and days at the office gone long. Encounter artificial intelligences on the run and cold zombie landscapes. Meet strangers that look somehow familiar, or people you knew but long ago lost. See small acts of defiance. Feel existential terror. And look deep into...

Rattlebone

Rattlebone

In Rattlebone, a «fictional» black community north of Kansas City, the smell of manure and bacon from Armour's Packing House is everywhere; Shady Maurice's roadhouse plays the latest jazz; the best eggs are sold by the Red Quanders; and gospel rules at the Strangers Rest Baptist Church.This is the black Midwest of the 1950s, when towns could count their white folks on one hand—the years before the Civil Rights movement came along and changed everything. In perfectly cadenced...

The Diaries of Adam and Eve and Other Stories

"Good deal of fog this morning. I do not go out in the fog myself," notes Adam in his diary, adding, «The new creature does. It goes out in all weathers. And talks. It used to be so pleasant and quiet here.»Adam has a lot to learn about Eve, and even more from her, as she names the animals, discovers fire, and introduces all manner of innovations to their garden home. Mark Twain's «translation» of the diaries of the first man and woman offers a humorous «he said/she said» narrative of...

The Time of the Peacock

The Time of the Peacock

These stories re-create a strange and fascinating world, where a child may look through squares of lattice enclosing a garden of Indian jasmine and Kasmiri roses to the sheepyards and paddocks of the Australian countryside. They are unique in their depiction of life of an Indian family in rural Australia, but they would be distinguished in any case by their quality – their crystalline images and lyrical feeling, their sensitive perception of light and shade, of human suffering, exile and...

The Complete Short Stories of Saki (H. H. Munro)

Hector Hugh Munro (1870-1916) was a British writer, whose witty works satirizing Edwardian society and culture led him to be known as a master of the short story. Munro, better recognized by the pen name Saki, produced works that contrasted the conventions and hypocrisies of Edwardian England with the uncomplicated and sometimes cruel state of nature, a conflict which the latter usually won. This complete edition of short stories will entertain readers with its wonderfully intricate characters,...

Just So Stories (Illustrated by the Author)

First published in 1902, “Just So Stories” is Rudyard Kipling’s classic collection of animal fables and poetry. This collection grew out of nighttime story-telling between Rudyard and his daughter Josephine. The peculiar name is drawn from her insistence that these tales, which were origin stories describing how animals got their most distinctive features, be told “just so”. This volume reproduces the complete edition of “Just So Stories” which includes the following stories: “How The Whale Got...

Conjure Tales and Stories of the Color Line

Charles W. Chesnutt (1858-1932) was an author, essayist and political activist whose works addressed the complex issues of racial and social identity at the turn of the century. Chesnutt's early works explored political issues somewhat indirectly, with the intention of changing the attitudes of Caucasians slowly and carefully. His characters deal with difficult issues of miscegenation, illegitimacy, racial identity and social place. They also expose the anguish of mix-race men and women and...

Marie de France

The Lais of Marie de France

Though little is known about Marie de France, her work changed romantic writing forever. “The Lais of Marie de France” challenged social norms and the views of the church during the twelfth century concerning both love and the role of women. She wrote within a court unknown to scholars, in a form of Anglo-Norman French. Inspired by the Greeks and Romans long before her, Marie de France sought to write something not only morally instructive, but memorable, leaving an indelible imprint on the...
