Украина традиционно преподносится как страна, созданная украинской нацией в рамках собственной государственности, экономики и культуры. Однако факты свидетельствуют о том, что современная Украина – это двадцатилетний процесс распада государственности, экономики, культуры и такой региональной разновидности «советского человека», как «украинцы», которые были созданы волею коммунистов во времена СССР. Украина – это исчезающий фантом коллективных иллюзий и красочных надежд на лучшее, ради которых...

Félix Rubén García Sarmiento, conocido como Rubén Darío (1867-1916), fue un poeta, periodista y diplomático nicaragüense, máximo representante del modernismo literario en lengua española. Es, tal vez, el poeta que ha tenido mayor y más duradera influencia en la poesía del siglo XX en el ámbito hispano. Es llamado «príncipe de las letras castellanas». Darío es citado como el iniciador y máximo representante del modernismo hispánico. Si bien esto es cierto a grandes rasgos, es una afirmación que...

Every year, many of the young salmon swim upstream to where they were spawned to lay eggs and raise a new generation of young fish that will swim down to the ocean. There are a number of dangers that they have to face, rough water, hungry bears, eagles, fishermen and in this case the change in the stream due to the fire that covered the side of the mountain where the stream flows. Can Sally make it past all the obstacles to lay her eggs in the same headwaters of the creek where she grew up?

Introduced by J.K. Annand. Best known as the playwright of Jamie the Saxt and Jeddart Justice, Robert McLellan has been called the finest writer of Scots prose in our time. His ‘Linmill’ stories were broadcast by the BBC, one of which, ‘The Donegals’ was made into a film. But for the most part McLellan’s prose work has appeared in magazines or anthologies without being fully collected in book form. Their popularity has endured and now all twenty-four of his tales are available in one volume. ...

Abandoning the usual Cold War–oriented narrative of postwar European protest and opposition movements, this volume offers an innovative, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive perspective on two decades of protest and social upheaval in postwar Europe. It examines the mutual influences and interactions among dissenters in Western Europe, the Warsaw Pact countries, and the nonaligned European countries, and shows how ideological and political developments in the East and West were interconnected...

The communist German Democratic Republic, founded in 1949 in the Soviet-occupied zone of post-war Germany is, for many people, epitomized by the Berlin Wall; Soviet tanks and surveillance by the secret security police, the Stasi, appear to be central. But is this really all there is to the GDR¹s history? How did people come to terms with their situation and make new lives behind the Wall? When the social history of the GDR in the 1960s and 1970s is explored, new patterns become evident. A...

Under the current cartographies of globalism, where frontiers mutate, vacillate, and mark the contiguity of discourse, questioning the Spanish border seems a particularly urgent task. The volume engages a wide spectrum of ambivalent regions—subjects that currently are, or have been seen in the past, as spaces of negotiation and contestation. However, they converge in their perception of the “Spanish” nation-space as a historical and ideological construct that is perpetually going through...

The protest movements that followed the Second World War have recently become the object of study for various disciplines; however, the exchange of ideas between research fields, and comparative research in general, is lacking. An international and interdisciplinary dialogue is vital to not only describe the similarities and differences between the single national movements but also to evaluate how they contributed to the formation and evolution of a transnational civil society in Europe. This...

The events of 1968 have been seen as a decisive turning point in the Western world. The author takes a critical look at «May 1968» and questions whether the events were in fact as «revolutionary» as French and foreign commentators have indicated. He concludes the student movement changed little that had not already been challenged and altered in the late fifties and early sixties. The workers' strikes led to fewer working hours and higher wages, but these reforms reflected the secular...

"In the Days of Serfdom" and Other Stories , originally published in 1911, presents in miniature themes developed in Tolstoy's longer works War and Peace and Anna Karenina . The compelling stories in this collection have largely been ignored by contemporary scholars and teachers because of their general unavailability. Available once again, the stories reveal new thematic and stylisitic dimensions to Tolstoy's oeuvre. While not all of the stories deal with actual serfdom, they...

With his novels, short stories, and plays, Giovanni Verga (1840–1922) achieved renown in the Italian verismo (realist) school of writing. This outstanding selection of 12 short stories — most from the Sicilian writer's Vita dei campi (Rural Life) and Novelle rusticane (Rustic Stories) — attests to his storytelling skills.Selections include «Nedda,» a short story that initiated Verga's naturalistic depictions of Sicilian peasant life; the much-celebrated...

Will Self, whom the Los Angeles Times calls “the hottest young novelist in England,” demonstrates his razor-sharp wit in these nine new stories. Self’s method depends upon taking an ordinary aspect of the world and then pushing it to its limit in furious absurdity. The short stories in Grey Area reflect the technical brilliance and satiric voice that have made him one of the most highly praised comic writers in a decade.These are stories that delve into the modern...

Flappers and Philosophers was F. Scott Fitzgerald’s first collection. Today Fitzgerald is known primarily for writing the great American novel The Great Gatsby, but during his lifetime he was much better known for his short stories. After reading this wonderful collection you’ll understand why. Few writers have ever been capable of such a breadth of range as Fitzgerald displays here. Witty, cutting, insightful, and charming!
