Download or read book Tear Off the Masks! written by Sheila Fitzpatrick and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2005-07-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When revolutions happen, they change the rules of everyday life--both the codified rules concerning the social and legal classifications of citizens and the unwritten rules about how individuals present themselves to others. This occurred in Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, which laid the foundations of the Soviet state, and again in 1991, when that state collapsed. Tear Off the Masks! is about the remaking of identities in these times of upheaval. Sheila Fitzpatrick here brings together in a single volume years of distinguished work on how individuals literally constructed their autobiographies, defended them under challenge, attempted to edit the "file-selves" created by bureaucratic identity documentation, and denounced others for "masking" their true social identities. Marxist class-identity labels--"worker," "peasant," "intelligentsia," "bourgeois"--were of crucial importance to the Soviet state in the 1920s and 1930s, but it turned out that the determination of a person's class was much more complicated than anyone expected. This in turn left considerable scope for individual creativity and manipulation. Outright imposters, both criminal and political, also make their appearance in this book. The final chapter describes how, after decades of struggle to construct good Soviet socialist personae, Russians had to struggle to make themselves fit for the new, post-Soviet world in the 1990s--by "de-Sovietizing" themselves. Engaging in style and replete with colorful detail and characters drawn from a wealth of sources, Tear Off the Masks! offers unique insight into the elusive forms of self-presentation, masking, and unmasking that made up Soviet citizenship and continue to resonate in the post-Soviet world.

Download or read book The Struggle for Justice and Truth written by Tomas Cudzis and published by Tomas Cudzis. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 983 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of all four parts of The Struggle for Justice and Truth book series by Tomas Cudzis, a fan fiction work dedicated as a tribute to the Linkin Park music band, from which songs the author’s inspiration has come. The goal being, it should look like Linkin Park were making the soundtrack for the book, not the other way around. Note: This book only includes references to the songs that should be played with each section for an enhanced experience, It doesn’t contain any of the songs referenced in itself, and it’s purely optional for the reader to gain access to those songs at their own expense. As use of those songs is purely experimental, it doesn’t guarantee improved experience compared to merely reading this book, although test readers did find it most helpful. Synopsis: Tomas’s sense of inferiority since his childhood has forced him to transform himself physically, becoming the underground king of illegal MMA fights in the heart of Hong Kong. After an unfortunate incident involving the Triads, he is forced into hiding in the United States, where he is actively hunted by them and others. Realizing he has no other choice, he takes on the Triads by himself in his last attempt for freedom, or vengeance. To his surprise, he survives, with the help of a top-secret US agency, enlisting in their ranks and together taking on criminals considered to be untouchable. However, with the ever-increasing body count at Tomas’s hands, he realizes he can’t handle the emotional trauma and doesn’t like what he is turning into. Determined to break the chain and leave his old life behind, Tomas finds himself sucked right back into it every single time he tries, leaving him feeling hopeless fighting a fight that he considers pointless. “I don’t know. It can’t be outfought, it can’t be outdone, it can’t be outrun. It’s just the way it is. There is no justice, except the one that is paid for in blood or money. I don’t have money.” In his personal struggle for justice and truth, convinced that the current government is becoming more and more dystopian with every passing day, he pushes to find out the truth against all odds, in hopes that it will finally bring him inner peace stopping worldwide growing tyranny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Star-crossed lovers from different worlds. Will their love survive? When Talia agreed to take a break from her research to spend a week at the beach, ending up a captive in the depths of the ocean was the last thing she ever expected. Her best friend and travel companion Janelle has a fondness for fairy tales and is sure that their abductors, with their gold-medal swimmer physiques, are sea people—mermen. Talia knows that’s ridiculous, but when one of the men, Ballard, slips her his knife and lets her in on his own purpose for being there, she starts to suspect that the truth is beyond anything even Janelle could have imagined. She can’t deny her attraction to Ballard, but also can’t fully trust this man and his extraordinary claims. To get back home, she may have no choice. Ballard spent the past year infiltrating a rogue military group suspected of breaking the sacred and critical First Tenet of Below: Do not contact those Above. His mission is to discover the location of a secret deep sea base and destroy the rogues' ability to travel to the sea's surface. But he can't help his feelings for Talia, the beautiful, intelligent woman from Above. The deeper he falls, the more he risks his own mission—and the future of every human on Earth. As they are drawn deeper into danger, Talia and Ballard begin to realize that their only hope for survival is each other. Futuristic Romance - Sci Fi Romance - Science Fiction Romance
