Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This book is intended to capture the interest of anyone who has been attracted to Russian culture through the greats of Russian literature, either through the texts themselves, or encountering them in the cinema, or opera. Rather than a conventional chronology of Russian literature, the book will… explore the place and importance of literature of all sorts in Russian culture. How and when did a Russian national literature come into being? What shaped its creation? How have the Russians regarded their literary language? The book will uses the figure of Pushkin, 'the Russian Shakespeare' as a recurring example as his work influenced every Russian writer who came after hime, whether poets or novelists. It will look at such questions as why Russian writers are venerated, how they've been interpreted inside Russia and beyond, and the influences of such things as the folk tale tradition, orthodox religion, and the West ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this history of Russia from 1917 to the present, Chubarov teases out themes developed in his previous book on tsarist Russia, "The Fragile Empire" (Continuum, 2000). One of the key factors in Russia's distinctiveness is its halfway location in the centre of the Eurasian landmass. This lends an… inevitability to the traditional cultural schism between Westernizing reformers and Slavophiles. Neither approach, says Chubarov, will work on its own. Without ever minimizing the brutalities of the Soviet period - State terror, the collectivizations, the labour camps, the deportations of whole peoples - Chubarov demonstrates much continuity between tsarist and Soviet Russia, with the latter often repeating the former's mistakes. Russia, says Chubarov, cannot turn its back on its Soviet experience. Far from being a blind alley or "abstract phase", the Soviet period was an organic part of Russia's history and "was largely successful in turning Russia and most of the other Soviet republics into modern states". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Isaac Bashevis Singer was a Polish-American writer in Yiddish, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. (November 11, 1903 Leoncin village near Warsaw, capital of Congress Poland in the Russian Empire - lands that were a part of the Russian partition territories of the former Polish-Lithuan…ian Commonwealth - July 24, 1991 Surfside, Florida). The exact date of his birth is uncertain, but most probably it was November 11 a date Singer gave both to his official biographer Paul Kresh and his secretary Dvorah Telushkin. The often-quoted birth date, July 14, 1904 was made up by the author in his youth, possibly to appear too young to be drafted. The Polish form of his birth name was Icek Hersz Zynger. He used his mother's first name in an initial literary pseudonym, Izaak Baszewis, which he later expanded. He was a leading figure in the Yiddish literary movement, writing and publishing only in Yiddish. He was also awarded two U.S. National Book Awards, one in Children's Literature for his memoir A Day Of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing Up in Warsaw (1970) and one in Fiction for his collection A Crown of Feathers and Other Stories (1974). His father was a Hasidic rabbi and his mother, Bathsheba, was the daughter of the rabbi of Bilgoraj. Singer later used her name in his pen name "Bashevis" (Bathsheba's). Both his older siblings, Esther Kreitman and brother Israel Joshua Singer were writers as well. The family moved to the court of the Rabbi of Radzymin in 1907, where his father became head of the Yeshiva. After the Yeshiva building burned down in 1908, the family moved to Warsaw. In 1923, his older brother Israel Joshua arranged for him to move to Warsaw to work as a proofreader for the Jewish Literarische Bleter, of which the brother was an editor. In 1935 Singer emigrated from Poland to the United States. The move separated the author from his common-law first wife Runia Pontsch and son Israel Zamir (1929-2014); they emigrated to Moscow and then Palestine. The three met again twenty years later in 1955. Singer settled in New York City, where he was a journalist and columnist for The Jewish Daily Forward , a Yiddish-language newspaper. After a promising start, he became despondent and for some years felt "Lost in America" (title of his 1974 novel published in Yiddish; published in English in 1981). In 1938, he met Alma Wassermann née Haimann (1907-1996), a German-Jewish refugee from Munich. They married in 1940, and their union seemed to release energy in him; he returned to prolific writing and to contributing to the Forward. In addition to his pen name of "Bashevis," he published under the pen names of "Warszawski" (pron. Varshavsky) during World War II, and "D. Segal." They lived for many years in the Belnord apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Singer's first published story won the literary competition of the literarishe bletter and garnered him a reputation as a promising talent. Singer published his first novel, Satan in Goray, in installments in the literary magazine Globus, which he had co-founded with his life-long friend, the Yiddish poet Aaron Zeitlin in 1935. The book recounts events of 1648 in the village of Goraj (close to Bilgoraj). A third of Polish Jewry was murdered by Cossacks in the massacres. It explores the effects of the 17th century false messiah, Shabbatai Zvi, on the local population. Its last chapter imitates the style of a medieval Yiddish chronicle. With a stark depiction of innocence crushed by circumstance, the novel appears to foreshadow coming danger. In his later work, The Slave (1962), Singer returns to the aftermath of 1648, in a love story between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman. He portrays the traumatized and desperate survivors of the historic catastrophe with even deeper understanding. Singer became a literary contributor to The Jewish Daily Forward in 1945. That year, Singer published The Family Moskat. His stories, which he had published in Yiddish literary news. Illus. By Ira Moskowitz (illustrator).

Add to basketSoft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. "Charles Townshend, His character and Career" by Sir Lewis Namier, was delivered as the 1959 Leslie Stephen Lecture, and published by Cambridge University Press in pamphlet format. This is the First Edition. Lord Townshend was the principle author of what are collectively called the… "Townshend Acts" which played such a large part in instigating the American Revolution of Independence. There were five acts, which were : The New York Restraining Act 1767 passed on June 5, 1767 ; The Revenue Act 1767 passed on June 26, 1767; The Indemnity Act 1767 passed on June 29, 1767; The Commissioners of Customs Act 1767 passed on June 29, 1767; and The Vice Admiralty Court Act 1768 passed on July 6, 1768. These acts were immensely unpopular in the Colonies, and eventually resulted in the Boston Massacre, which acted as a match to tinder. Since Namier's lecture covered Townshend's entire career (albeit briefly), there is more to this pamphlet than a mere aside to the American Revolution. It's a fascinating lecture about a person, now largely forgotten - at least in the United States - but who played such a large part in one of the most important chapters in world history. SERIES : Leslie Stephen Lectures TITLE : Charles Townshend, His Character and Career AUTHOR : Sir Lewis Namier (Sir Lewis Bernstein Namier, 1888 - 1960; born Ludwik Bernstein Niemirowski in Russian - Controlled Poland; he emigrated to the U.K., studied at Oxford, and became a British Subject in 1913. He served at the front in World War I with the Royal Fusiliers. His career as both historian and an individual in the employ of the Foreign Office was a "mixed bag", his views being controversial.)

Condition: New. 2013 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1917). SB 55pp + Plates & MapPublished Price £9.95 Among the many problems attending the British forces who landed in North Russia in 1919-19 to aid the White troops in their doomed attempt to resist and reverse the Bolshevik revolution, the care and evacuation of sick and wo…unded soldiers was especially difficult. The harsh terrain and cold climate presented the Royal Army Medical Corps with unprecedented troubles, and how they were surmounted is the subject of this informative booklet. Written by the senior medical officer with the force, the book shows why, âin the depths of the Russian forest a box of matches may be of more value for the saving of life than many elaborate and more technical appliancesâ and why speed and light equipment were of the essence in evacuating casualties before they froze to death.

Isaac Bashevis Singer was a Polish-American writer in Yiddish, awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. (November 11, 1903 Leoncin village near Warsaw, capital of Congress Poland in the Russ…ian Empire - lands that were a part of the Russian partition territories of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth - July 24, 1991 Surfside, Florida). The exact date of his birth is uncertain, but most probably it was November 11 a date Singer gave both to his official biographer Paul Kresh and his secretary Dvorah Telushkin. The often-quoted birth date, July 14, 1904 was made up by the author in his youth, possibly to appear too young to be drafted. The Polish form of his birth name was Icek Hersz Zynger. He used his mother's first name in an initial literary pseudonym, Izaak Baszewis, which he later expanded. He was a leading figure in the Yiddish literary movement, writing and publishing only in Yiddish. He was also awarded two U.S. National Book Awards, one in Children's Literature for his memoir A Day Of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing Up in Warsaw (1970) and one in Fiction for his collection A Crown of Feathers and Other Stories (1974). His father was a Hasidic rabbi and his mother, Bathsheba, was the daughter of the rabbi of Bilgoraj. Singer later used her name in his pen name "Bashevis" (Bathsheba's). Both his older siblings, Esther Kreitman and brother Israel Joshua Singer were writers as well. The family moved to the court of the Rabbi of Radzymin in 1907, where his father became head of the Yeshiva. After the Yeshiva building burned down in 1908, the family moved to Warsaw. In 1923, his older brother Israel Joshua arranged for him to move to Warsaw to work as a proofreader for the Jewish Literarische Bleter, of which the brother was an editor. In 1935 Singer emigrated from Poland to the United States. The move separated the author from his common-law first wife Runia Pontsch and son Israel Zamir (1929-2014); they emigrated to Moscow and then Palestine. The three met again twenty years later in 1955. Singer settled in New York City, where he was a journalist and columnist for The Jewish Daily Forward , a Yiddish-language newspaper. After a promising start, he became despondent and for some years felt "Lost in America" (title of his 1974 novel published in Yiddish; published in English in 1981). In 1938, he met Alma Wassermann née Haimann (1907-1996), a German-Jewish refugee from Munich. They married in 1940, and their union seemed to release energy in him; he returned to prolific writing and to contributing to the Forward. In addition to his pen name of "Bashevis," he published under the pen names of "Warszawski" (pron. Varshavsky) during World War II, and "D. Segal." They lived for many years in the Belnord apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Singer's first published story won the literary competition of the literarishe bletter and garnered him a reputation as a promising talent. Singer published his first novel, Satan in Goray, in installments in the literary magazine Globus, which he had co-founded with his life-long friend, the Yiddish poet Aaron Zeitlin in 1935. The book recounts events of 1648 in the village of Goraj (close to Bilgoraj). A third of Polish Jewry was murdered by Cossacks in the massacres. It explores the effects of the 17th century false messiah, Shabbatai Zvi, on the local population. Its last chapter imitates the style of a medieval Yiddish chronicle. With a stark depiction of innocence crushed by circumstance, the novel appears to foreshadow coming danger. In his later work, The Slave (1962), Singer returns to the aftermath of 1648, in a love story between a Jewish man and a Gentile woman. He portrays the traumatized and desperate survivors of the historic catastrophe with even deeper understanding. Singer became a literary contributor to The Jewish Daily Forward in 1945. , , .
