To the outside world, it appeared that Viktoria Babenko had everything going for her. A handsome, wealthy boyfriend, a good job and a bright future ahead of her. But, behind closed doors, life was something completely different. As her relationship flounders and her job hangs in the balance, her boyfriend, Vladimir, backslides into drinking and womanizing, leaving it apparent he will never commit. Frustrated and wounded, Vika decides it's time to make a change. At the urging of her best friend, and to make a little extra money, she publishes a profile to an international dating website with the hidden hope of finding true love abroad and leaving all of her pain behind in Odessa. Back in America, Wyatt O'Donaghue, a wealthy, heart-broken loaner, soured by the very thought of true love, desperately tries to get custody of his young, neglected son. After endless court battles and at the recommendation of his lawyer, Wyatt searches for a wife to help put his case over the edge and secure custody. A quick internet search and perusal of an international dating website puts him face to face with Viktoria... everything that he had ever looked for in a woman. Will these star-crossed lovers find true love? Can they overcome the deceitful nature of their original purpose and fall in love? Will they learn to trust each other and come together or will doubt and pain from their pasts trash this modern day love story fit for the ages? Find out what happens when two cultures collide and see if love can triumph over all in this international romance. How far would you go for true love?

Book excerpt: Peter Enfield doesn't believe in good fortune, as he say's, "all you have to do is sit in one place minding your own business and the world pisses on you" But even a cynic would have to admit that Peter's guardian angel is permanently on strike. Nothing he can do seems to change the endless stream of misfortune that besets him - his son's illness, his job insecurity, his ability to attract crises when he can least cope with them, all appears to be fate laughing at him. He is severely injured when his car gets side-swiped after which a major accident kills everyone in his family and leaves him on a long and traumatic road to recovery. The only person he can rely on is Isaac, the one man that held his sanity together when he lost his family - yet even Isaac has his secrets. It's only when he is discharged from hospital with the insurance pay-out cheques in his pocket that he can remodel his life. But even with a determination to make good, his fate is not in his hands and he buys a house with an unusual background. Hidden in the pool house is a secret room still fitted out with a computer and sundry photographs. The computer is still linked to an Odessa based mail-order marriage website and the one time recipient is apparently still waiting for a reply to some cryptic messages from a very attractive woman. The outcome sees him attempting to extricate himself from being dragged into a security agency operation for an illegally diverted weapons shipment. Rather than escaping his old life, he is sucked into episodes of extreme danger and personally traumatic events. Except for Isaac, Peter learns how to frustrate fate from all the people he encounters in his new life and proves himself to be no jinx - indeed, eventually his life threatening experiences strengthen his resilience and teaches him that he is far more than simply one of life's victims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Other/Argentina looks at literature, film, and the visual arts to examine the threads of Jewishness that create patterns of meaning within the fabric of Argentine self-representation. A multiethnic yet deeply Roman Catholic country, Argentina has worked mightily to fashion itself as a modern nation. In so doing, it has grappled with the paradox of Jewishness, emblematic both of modernity and of the lingering traces of the premodern. By the same token, Jewishness is woven into, but also other to, Argentineity. Consequently, books, movies, and art that reflect on Jewishness play a significant role in shaping Argentina's cultural landscape. In the process they necessarily inscribe, and sometimes confound, norms of gender and sexuality. Just as Jewishness seeps into Argentina, Argentina's history, politics, and culture mark Jewishness and alter its meaning. The feminized body of the Jewish male, for example, is deeply rooted in Western tradition; but the stigmatized body of the Jewish prostitute and the lacerated body of the Jewish torture victim acquire particular significance in Argentina. Furthermore, Argentina's iconic Jewish figures include not only the peddler and the scholar, but also the Jewish gaucho and the urban mobster, troubling conventional readings of Jewish masculinity. As it searches for threads of Jewishness, richly imbued with the complexities of gender and sexuality, The Other/Argentina explores the patterns those threads weave, however overtly or subtly, into the fabric of Argentine national meaning, especially at such critical moments in Argentine history as the period of massive state-sponsored immigration, the rise of labor and anarchist movements, the Perón era, and the 1976–83 dictatorship. In arguing that Jewishness is an essential element of Argentina's self-fashioning as a modern nation, the book shifts the focus in Latin American Jewish studies from Jewish identity to the meaning of Jewishness for the nation.

It tested her love in the shadow of the Depression and the hell of the Nazi fury... And then Leah's journey brought her home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an unprecedented collection of three newly translated Yiddish plays written by women in the period from 1880 to 1920. Taken together, these plays provide a fascinating insight into female Jewish perspectives on a range of women's issues prevalent at the time and, in some cases, still prevalent today. The works explore topics such as the Jewish law of the 'chained widow', pregnancy out of wedlock, and birth control, amongst many others. Three Yiddish Plays by Women includes an incisive contextual introduction which provides historical context for each individual work, summaries and discussion of the texts and stage histories for two of the three that have them. The introduction offers biographical information about each playwright and looks at what ambit they were each active in, taking into consideration gender norms. It also engages an array of recent sources and angles on intersecting questions of theater and gender in a landmark volume of vital significance to students of women's history, modern Jewish history, cultural history and theatre history.

Book excerpt: On a terraformed Mars, young Debbie Miller was sent far from her rural village as part of a marriage compact between the rulers of two demesnes. A peasant who knew only obedience, she accepted her duty to bear her husband's children and work alongside him. But when they were sent to build a village in a barren patch of nowhere, her abusive husband forces her to take action. She flees with her children and their dog into the vast open steppes where dying was preferable to life with him. Debbie only wanted to escape, but her encounter with the Steppes Riders, and especially Yannick of Kenyatta, unwittingly ignites changes that attract the attention of Mars' ruling families. Left to her own resources, Debbie must adapt to her new life and figure out how to defend her adopted people. The Steppes of Mars series imagines a transformed world where a disaster on Earth decades ago cut off all contact with its wealth and resources. Experience a Mars where its genetically modified inhabitants have developed their own cultures, beliefs, and religions. A semi-feudal world where ruling families control vast demesnes under a central government at Barsoom. A world of limited resources where train travel is possible but cars and planes are not. A world of free-cities - open and domed - villages, vast fields and steppes, and people banding together to survive and thrive in this harsh new world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Literature of the Holocaust” courses, whether taught in high schools or at universities, necessarily cover texts from a broad range of international contexts. Instructors are required, regardless of their own disciplinary training, to become comparatists and discuss all works with equal expertise. This books offers analyses of the ways in which representations of the Holocaust—whether in text, film, or material culture—are shaped by national context, providing a valuable pedagogical source in terms of both content and methodology. As memory yields to post-memory, nation of origin plays a larger role in each re-telling, and the chapters in this book explore this notion covering well-known texts like Night (Hungary), Survival in Auschwitz (Italy), MAUS (United States), This Way to the Gas (Poland), and The Reader (Germany), while also introducing lesser-known representations from countries like Argentina or Australia.

Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of The Book of V., an unflinching, lushly imagined love story set against the backdrop of the epic frontier When 16-year-old Minna Losk journeys from Odessa to America as a mail-order bride, she dreams of a young, wealthy husband, a handsome townhouse, and freedom from physical labor and pogroms. But her husband Max turns out to be twice her age, rigidly Orthodox, and living in a one-room sod hut in South Dakota with his two teenage sons. The country is desolate, the work treacherous. And most troubling, Minna finds herself increasingly attracted to her older stepson. As a brutal winter closes in, the family's limits are tested, and Minna, drawing on strengths she barely knows she has, is forced to confront her despair, as well as her desire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1505 to 1689, Russia's tsars chose their wives through an elaborate ritual: the bride-show. The realm's most beautiful young maidens—provided they hailed from the aristocracy—gathered in Moscow, where the tsar's trusted boyars reviewed their medical histories, evaluated their spiritual qualities, noted their physical appearances, and confirmed their virtue. Those who passed muster were presented to the tsar, who inspected the candidates one by one—usually without speaking to any of them—and chose one to be immediately escorted to the Kremlin to prepare for her wedding and new life as the tsar's consort. Alongside accounts of sordid boyar plots against brides, the multiple marriages of Ivan the Terrible, and the fascinating spectacle of the bride-show ritual, A Bride for the Tsar offers an analysis of the show's role in the complex politics of royal marriage in early modern Russia. Russell E. Martin argues that the nature of the rituals surrounding the selection of a bride for the tsar tells us much about the extent of his power, revealing it to be limited and collaborative, not autocratic. Extracting the bride-show from relative obscurity, Martin persuasively establishes it as an essential element of the tsarist political system.

Book excerpt: A Life Different Elizabeth Antonova Kraevsky paints a panoramic picture of the revolutionary struggle that terminated with Russias enslavement by Bolshevik communism. She accomplishes the extraordinary feat of filtering this period through the sensibilities of a beautiful and intelligent young girl who achieves a triumphant maturity during these tumultuous and frightening times in which her very existence was often in danger. The book is at once a vast epic drama and the very personal story of a girl reared in great privilege and shaped by life-threatening events, but who ultimately found salvation in her faith and in a great love that crossed continents. Elizabeth spent her Russian years in the beautiful area that stretched along the Black Sea from Yalta to Odessa. Her father was born into the nobility but renounced his hereditary estates to become a renowned physician who offered his services to the aristocracy and serfs in equal measure. Her exquisitely lovely mother often devoted herself to tutoring the children of the oppressed peasants who had no opportunity for education in Czarist Russia. Elizabeths youth and adolescence were a gorgeous dream of luxury, indulgence, and unadulterated happiness. Elizabeth vividly resurrects a vanished era that will never actually return. Using a combination of narrative and lengthy quotes from her diaries, she enables us to enter the heart and mind of and see with her eyes her gilded youth of great houses, wonderful schools and companions, the schoolgirl crushes and adolescent infatuations, the balls and parties, the luxuriant journeys to other parts of Europe, the clothes, jewels, and furnishings of that bedazzled time. And suddenly, precisely at the time, she would begin to think of the rest of her life, of marriage or possibly a career, it was over. The beautiful dream became an ugly nightmare. Dr. Kraevsky and his family were living in Odessa when the revolution broke out. After his death, Elizabeth supported the family by working as a translator. The Soviets threw her in jail on the pretext that she was too friendly with foreigners. Actually, they wanted to force her to become a spy for them. She refused. The harrowing descriptions of life in the prison and her fellow prisoners are mesmerizing. Elizabeth manages to find moving sparks of humanity even in this unlikely situation. After her release, Elizabeth meets an American, Martin Feinman, who falls in love with her almost on sight and, despite feeling the romance was hopeless, she gradually begins to reciprocate. There are moments of great tenderness and passion but the government continues to stand in their way. The obstacles include another stint in prison. The suspense is breathtaking, as Elizabeth Antonova Kraevsky artfully describes the events that may or may not lead to their union. A Life Different is a book necessary for all history, suspense, and romance buffs. Alfred Allan Lewis, author of Ladies and Not-So-Gentle Women
