Vladimir Nabokov. The Russian Years

This first major critical biography of Vladimir Nabokov, one of the greatest of twentieth-century writers, finally allows us full access to the dramatic details of his life and the depths of his art. An intensely private man, Nabokov was uprooted first by the Russian Revolution and then by World War  II . Transformed into a permanent wanderer, he did not achieve fame until late in life, with the success of Lolita. In this first of two volumes, Brian Boyd vividly describes the liberal milieu of the aristocratic Nabokovs, their escape from Russia, Nabokov’s education at Cambridge, and the murder of his father in Berlin. Boyd then turns to the years that Nabokov spent, impoverished, in Germany and France, until the coming of Hitler forced him to flee, with wife and son, to the United States. This volume stands on its own as a fascinating exploration of Nabokov’s Russian years and Russian worlds, prerevolutionary and émigré. In the course of his ten years’ work on the biography, Boyd traveled along Nabokov’s trail everywhere from Yalta to Palo Alto. The only scholar to have had free access to the Nabokov archives in Montreux and the Library of Congress, he also interviewed at length Nabokov’s family and scores of his friends and associates. For the general reader, Boyd offers an introduction to Nabokov the man, his works, and his world. For the specialist, he provides a basis for all future research on Nabokov’s life and art, as he dates and describes the composition of all Nabokov’s works, published and unpublished. Boyd investigates Nabokov’s relation to and his independence from his time, examines the special structures of his mind and thought, and explains the relations between his philosophy and his innovations of literary strategy and style. At the same time he provides succinct introductions to all the fiction, dramas, memoirs, and major verse; presents detailed analyses of the major books that break new ground for the scholar, while providing easy paths into the works for other readers; and shows the relationship between Nabokov’s life and the themes and subjects of his art.

Nureyev: His Life, the first full-scale biography of the legendary Russian dancer, traces Nureyev"s remarkable climb out of poverty in the war-torn Soviet Union to become one of our century"s most popular and influential artists. We see his difficult relationship with his father, Hamet, and the roots of the defiant spirit that fueled Nureyev"s unquenchable desire to dance until his final days. Author Diane Solway gives us the first complete account of his landmark defection and of his subsequent secret trial-in-absentia for treason. Solway takes us inside the great companies, showing us how the controversial Nureyev revitalized the Royal Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet and left a lasting imprint on troupes around the world. We also hear from Mikhail Baryshnikov, Edward Albee, and everyone from childhood friends in Russia to the circle of intimates who took care of the dancer in his final months, before his untimely death from AIDS in 1993. In this thorough yet sensitive portrait, she weaves together more than two hundred interviews with his family, friends, lovers, and dance partners and draws on new material from Soviet archives, family documents, diaries, correspondence, and other original sources.

Nicholas II: Emperor of all the Russias

€1725
+ −
What is there new to say about Russia"s last monarch? Almost everything. Previous biographies have told of the family man, the father of the haemophiliac heir, the victim of the infamous murder at Ekaterinburg in 1918. This book covers all these topics but it looks, above all, at Nicholas as political leader and emperor. It presents a view of him very different from the one generally held in the West, and portrays the old regime"s collapse and the origins of Bolshevik Russia. Nicholas II was not stupid. Nor was he nearly as weak as is thought. But the dilemmas of ruling Russia were vast and contradictory, and it is an illusion to think that by putting on a top hat and becoming a constitutional monarch Nicholas could have preserved his dynasty and empire. This book draws on Dominic Lieven"s 15-year study of Imperial Russia, using archives and other sources all over the world. It is, however, a study of more than Imperial Russia and its last ruler. The author looks also at monarchy in other countries during the same period, comparing Nicholas and Russia"s regime with rulers and governments in Germany, Japan, Iran, Britain, Italy and elsewhere. The book"s last chapter compares the downfall of the Imperial and the Soviet regimes, and explains how the era of Nicholas II fits into the pattern of modern Russian history. In so doing, it shows how very topical in today"s Russia are most of the key issues and problems that beset Nicholas and his country.

The Treasures of Catherine the Great

Catherine the Great towers over more than three decades of 18th century Russian history, stamping her personality on what is often regarded as Russia"s Golden Age. Her reign saw the transformation of a backward and unstable empire into a major European power, with a court and a capital city whose opulance dazzled contemporary travellers. For many Catherine was a model of the enlightened monarch, a lavish patron of the arts and sciences, whose reforming zeal left no aspect of Russian life untouched. Painting, architecture, jewellery and sculpture reached new heights of sophistication as Russian and foreign artists flocked to the court. Perhaps the finest memorial to the splendour of her era is the State Hermitage Museum in Leningrad, the collection founded by Catherine herself in a magnificent palace besides the Neva. This book, showing many of the Hermitage"s finest treasures, captures the spirit of Catherin"s court, her lovers and her entourage. It also brings to life the work of the artists, explorers, writers, scientists, and soldiers who served Catherine. Above all, it illuminates the character of an empress dedicated to power, pleasure and the glory of Russia.

An Anthology of Soviet Prose
0.0
€1725
+ −
This anthology of modern Russian prose covers a considerable period of literary development from 1917 up to the present time. Soviet literature, which has inherited the best traditions of Russian and world classics, represents a new stage in the advance of world culture. It came into being and developed on socialist soil and, quite naturally, it reflects specific traits and features of socialist society. To help the reader grasp more easily the organic links between the message of literary works and the historical period in which they were written, the compiler has arranged the contents in three parts: (1) Prose of the 1920’s, (2) Prose of the 1930’s and (3) Prose of the 1940-60’s. Each part contains short novels, stories or chapters from novels by Soviet writers, which will enable the reader to acquaint himself with a wide range of Soviet writers, their individual styles and the different literary forms and genres in which they work (the short story, novel, novelette, lyrical miniature, etc.) The texts have been arranged chronologically. Included in the anthology are writers belonging to different generations: prose writers of the older generation (Maxim Gorky, Alexei Tolstoy, Konstantin Fedin, Ilya Ehrenburg and others), of the second generation (Vera Ketlinskaya, Vera Panova, Emmanuil Kazakevich and others) and writers who have appeared on the literary scene more recently (Yuri Kazakov, Yuri Bondarev, Vladimir Soloukhin and Yuri Nagibin). The anthology contains short notes on the writers selected for it, which include biographical data and brief comments on the authors’ styles. In compiling the notes much use was made of autobiographies, excerpts from writers’ diaries, letters and reminiscences. Each note is followed by a list of the writer’s main works. After each text there are explanatory notes giving English translations of the more difficult passages of text and explanations of words and phrases denoting exclusively Russian things and notions.
Aspects of The Novel

ASPECTS OF THE NOVEL follows the text of a series of lectures E. M. Forster gave at Cambridge in 1927. He departed boldly from convention by trying to get his listeners to picture the great novelists of history writing at the same time in the same room--this to protect us from the pseudo-scholarly impulse to classify by period without a careful exploration of themes.
Sense and Nonsense in Psychology

In the 1st part of "Sense & Nonsense" the author takes the discussion further afield than "Uses & Abuses", dealing with matters such as hypnosis, lie detectors & truth drugs, the interpretation of dreams, even telepathy & clairvoyance. As always, his purpose is to sort out the wheat from the chaff. There"s considerable discussion of the reliability of human testimony. Eysenck himself has experience in some of these areas. However, his conclusions have surprised & even annoyed some, especially the following much-quoted "Unless there is a gigantic conspiracy involving some 30 university departments all over the world, & several hundred highly respected scientists in various fields, many of them originally hostile to the claims of the psychical researchers, the only conclusion the unbiased observer can come to must be that there is a small number of people who obtain knowledge existing either in other people"s minds, or in the outer world, by means as yet unknown to science." The 2nd half concerns personality & social life. Dealing with the question of whether personality is measureable (yes), he considers its relation to conditioning, politics & esthetics. The Politics section demonstrates that attitudes logically unrelated often cluster together, showing similarities between two groups often regarded as Communists & Fascists. He proposes a 2-dimensional system of radical/conservative & tough-minded/tender-minded, showing where various contemporary attitudes lie. A thought-provoking book, still well worth reading.
Beyond Good and Evil
0.0
€1725
+ −
A caustic criticism of nearly every philosophic predecessor and a challenge of traditionally held views on right and wrong, Friedrich Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil paved the way for modern philosophical thought. Through nearly three hundred transformative aphorisms, Nietzsche presents a worldview in which neither truth nor morality are absolutes, and where good and evil are not opposites but counterparts that stem from the same desires.This work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a "slave morality." With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own "will to power" upon the world.Beyond Good and Evil was a foundational text for early twentieth-century thinkers, including philosophers, psychologists, novelists, and playwrights. Today’s readers will delight in Nietzsche’s pithy wit and irony while gaining a deeper understanding of his core ideology.

In A Streetcar Named Desire fading Southern belle Blanche Dubois finds her romantic illusions brutally shattered; The Glass Menagerie portrays an introverted girl trapped in a fantasy world; and Sweet Bird of Youth shows how we are unable to escape "the enemy, time"
The Man who was Thursday

This hilarious extravaganza presumes the existence of a secret society of revolutionaries sworn to destroy the world. There are seven members of the Central Anarchist Council who, for reasons of security, call themselves by the names of the days of the week — Sunday, Monday, and so on. But events soon cast a doubt upon their real identities, for Thursday (the Man Who Was Thursday) is not the passionate young poet he appears to be, but a Scotland Yard Detective. Who and what are the others? Chesterton unravels the fantasy in his own inventive and exuberant way and then uses this nightmare of paradox and surprise to probe the mysteries of human behaviour and belief.
