The Giants of Russian Literature: The Greatest Russian Novels, Stories, Plays, Folk Tales & Legends
Author: Leonid Andreyev
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 9094
Book Description
The Giants of Russian Literature: The Greatest Russian Novels, Stories, Plays, Folk Tales & Legends' encapsulates an unprecedented span of Russian literary achievement, weaving through the transformative arcs of realism, romanticism, and the philosophical introspection characteristic of Russia's literary evolution. This anthology is meticulously curated, offering a spectrum from the dense, existential inquiries of Dostoevsky to the nuanced, social narratives of Chekhov, and the fantastical realms envisioned by Pushkin. The diversity in literary styles, from the poignant short stories of Saki (H.H. Munro) to the grand, epic novels and plays that have defined the ethos of an era, demonstrates the rich tapestry of Russian and related cultures contributions to global literature. The collective works included stand as a testament to the depth and variety of human experience as depicted in literary form, with each piece selected for its timeless relevance and profound impact. The contributing authors and editors of this anthology, leaders amongst the pantheon of Russian literary figures, bring a breadth of cultural, historical, and political context to the fore. Such variety encapsulates pivotal moments in literary and world history, from the intricacies of Tsarist Russia to the turbulent shifts of the Soviet era and beyond. The assembly of authors like Tolstoy, Gorky, and Andreyev, alongside less universally recognized yet equally pivotal figures such as Korolenko and Garshin, offers a panoramic view of the seismic shifts in literary expression and the socio-political undercurrents of their times. Their lives and works serve as prisms through which the broader narratives of Russian and global history can be explored, enriching the anthology with layers of complexity and insight. This anthology is not just a collection of significant works; it is a gateway to exploring the soulful depths, philosophical ponderings, and the reckonings with the human condition that Russian literature so adeptly explores. It invites readers into a rich dialogue across time and space, encouraging a deep and nuanced understanding of the themes that pervade Russian literary history. 'The Giants of Russian Literature' is an essential volume for anyone keen to immerse themselves in the profound narratives and diverse voices that have shaped not only Russian literature but also the world literary landscape. Its educational value and the breadth of insights it offers make it an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts eager to explore the complexities of life and humanity through the lens of one of the worlds most prolific literary traditions.

The Honourable Schoolboy
Author: John le Carré
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101528753
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 633
Book Description
In the second part of John le Carré's Karla Trilogy, the battle of wits between spymaster George Smiley and his Russian adversary takes on an even more dangerous dimension. As the fall of Saigon looms, master spy George Smiley must outmaneuver his Soviet counterpart on a battlefield that neither can afford to lose. The mole has been eliminated, but the damage wrought has brought the British Secret Service to its knees. Given the charge of the gravely compromised Circus, George Smiley embarks on a campaign to uncover what Moscow Centre most wants to hide. When the trail goes cold at a Hong Kong gold seam, Smiley dispatches Gerald Westerby to shake the money tree. A part-time operative with cover as a philandering journalist, Westerby insinuates himself into a war-torn world where allegiances—and lives—are bought and sold. Brilliantly plotted and morally complex, The Honourable Schoolboy is the second installment of John le Carré's renowned Karla triology and a riveting portrayal of postcolonial espionage. With an introduction by the author.

Haunted by Parents
Author: Leonard Shengold
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 9780300116106
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
In this book the eminent psychoanalyst Leonard Shengold looks at why some people are resistant to change, even when it seems to promise a change for the better. Drawing on a lifetime of clinical experience as well as wide readings of world literature, Shengold shows how early childhood relationships with parents can lead to a powerful conviction that change means loss. Dr. Shengold, who is well known for his work on the lasting effects of childhood trauma and child abuse in such seminal books as Soul Murder and Soul Murder Revisited, continues his exploration into the consequences of early psychological injury and loss. In the examples of his patients and in the lives and work of such figures as Edna St. Vincent Millay, William Wordsworth, and Henrik Ibsen, Shengold looks at the different ways in which unconscious impressions connected with early experiences and fantasies about parents are integrated into individual lives. He shows the difficulties he’s encountered with his patients in raising these memories to the conscious level where they can be known and owned; and he also shows, in his survey of literary figures, how these memories can become part of the creative process. Haunted by Parents offers a deeply humane reflection on the values and limitations of therapy, on memory and the lingering effects of the past, and on the possibility of recognizing the promise of the future.
