Sinossi

Walls Remember explores the fascinating stories behind ancient walls, viewing them not just as barriers but as historical documents. The book examines how defensive architecture evolved, adapting to new technologies and societal needs. Walls also served as powerful symbols, marking territory and shaping cultural identity. For example, the Great Wall of China stands as a testament to both military defense and national identity. The book uniquely combines architectural analysis with historical narratives, bringing these structures to life.

 
It begins by introducing fundamental concepts and then develops these ideas through case studies of significant wall systems worldwide, examining their historical context and architectural features. By studying their design, construction, and use, readers gain a deeper understanding of the civilizations that built them.

 
The book culminates in broader conclusions about the role of walls in shaping history, relying on archaeological reports, historical texts, and architectural plans to illustrate the enduring impact of these ancient structures.

Who Are the Russians?

Alla Sergueeva

“An exceptional study. The author of the book has had the audacity to approach Russian chaos... armed with her desire to prove that the country is by no means a madhouse but simply an immense space, difficult to access for the outsider who is unfamiliar with Russian traditions, history and mentality.” Lyubova Klobukova, Izvestia. 
 
“Alla Sergueeva’s book is highly topical. The author loves Russia, cares about its people, is proud of its history, culture and science.” Vladimir Nogovsky, Russian Thought.
 
Should a foreigner accept an invitation to the Russian baths? How many glasses of vodka should you drink in one go before trying to refuse? Why do Russians endure life at great sacrifice? What is “Russian happiness” made of? And above all, what’s new in 21st-century Russia?
Over the past fifteen years, the “mysterious Slavic soul” has undergone unprecedented metamorphosis. It was time to draw up an exhaustive inventory of the new way of life and psychology of the Russians.

The Conduct of Life

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life does not unfold by design. It moves, shifts, adapts—sometimes in harmony, often in chaos. What, then, is the right way to live? With his signature clarity and quiet defiance, Ralph Waldo Emerson steps beyond theory into the pulse of everyday existence. He does not prescribe rigid formulas but instead offers something sharper: a way of seeing.
Here, work is not mere labor but an act of self-realization. Power is not control but a force that shapes character. Fate is not an iron law but a current to navigate. Love, culture, beauty, behavior—each finds its place, not as abstract ideals but as forces in motion. Emerson does not soften reality; he meets it head-on, stripping away illusions, demanding engagement.
There are no final answers, only the insistence that life must be lived with both strength and openness. This is not a manual for comfort but for those who seek meaning beyond convention, who recognize that the path is not given—it is made.
In The Conduct of Life, Emerson's exploration unfolds across these essays, each a facet of life's ever-changing design:
I. Fate
II. Power
III. Wealth
IV. Culture
V. Behavior
VI. Worship
VII. Considerations by the Way
VIII. Beauty
IX. Illusions
