Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alesha finds herself in a world where her internal instincts are contrary to what she is often taught. In some instances, what she has been taught as a negative is now being promoted as a positive. It is a world of confusion and misdirection, so her choice had become to seek refuge where other individuals thinking as she does might reside. However, the allegorical trip there is not so easy, nor is the path always clear. This is the first part of her journey through the villages, lands, and cultures where many of the locations she passes through are hauntingly atrocious, others magical, while many are ridiculous. Nonetheless, they are all along the route she has taken in order to reach her final destination.
Book Synopsis In a Shattered Mirror by : Susan Amert
Download or read book In a Shattered Mirror written by Susan Amert and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1992-07-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian Revolution and its grim aftermath transformed the world into which Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) had been born, radically altering the poet's life and art. At the time of the Revolution, Akhmatova's exquisite love lyrics had made her one of Russia's leading poets, but the mass social forces unleashed by the Revolution were inimical to her lyric genius. In the 1920's her work was subjected to vicious ideological attacks in the press and was officially barred from. publication. Akhmatova fell silent. When she began writing again in the late 1930s, her poetry was much changed—formally, thematically, and technically. In contrast to the relative simplicity of the early erotic miniatures, the later poetry speaks in riddles, flaunting its own opacity. The author places the later work in its socio-cultural context through close readings of the major texts. The dominant metapoetic themes of the later poetry are taken as a point of. departure: they speak both to the poet's plight in society (repression, silencing) and to the array of means employed to transcend that plight (indirection, concealment, obfuscation). The theme of concealment highlights one of the most salient aspects of the later poetry—its saturation with allusions and quotations drawn from Russian and Western European literature. These allusions are interpreted through analyses of the complex relations between the source text and. Akhmatova's poems. In contrast to the relatively unified image of the lyrical persona in the early verse, the poet's self-representation in the later poetry features a multiplicity of masks and guises. Throughout, the author traces the genesis and transfigurations of these images of self. Quoted texts are given in Russian and in English translation.

Book Synopsis Rulers and Victims by : Geoffrey Hosking
Download or read book Rulers and Victims written by Geoffrey Hosking and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many westerners used to call the Soviet Union "Russia." Russians too regarded it as their country, but that did not mean they were entirely happy with it. In the end, in fact, Russia actually destroyed the Soviet Union. How did this happen, and what kind of Russia emerged? In this illuminating book, Geoffrey Hosking explores what the Soviet experience meant for Russians. One of the keys lies in messianism--the idea rooted in Russian Orthodoxy that the Russians were a "chosen people." The communists reshaped this notion into messianic socialism, in which the Soviet order would lead the world in a new direction. Neither vision, however, fit the "community spirit" of the Russian people, and the resulting clash defined the Soviet world. Hosking analyzes how the Soviet state molded Russian identity, beginning with the impact of the Bolshevik Revolution and civil war. He discusses the severe dislocations resulting from collectivization and industrialization; the relationship between ethnic Russians and other Soviet peoples; the dramatic effects of World War II on ideas of homeland and patriotism; the separation of "Russian" and "Soviet" culture; leadership and the cult of personality; and the importance of technology in the Soviet world view. At the heart of this penetrating work is the fundamental question of what happens to a people who place their nationhood at the service of empire. There is no surer guide than Geoffrey Hosking to reveal the historical forces forging Russian identity in the post-communist world.
