Sinossi

In 'Russia: Its People and Its Literature', Emilia condesa de Pardo Bazán offers a compelling exploration of the vast cultural and societal landscape of Russia, illuminated through its rich literary tradition. As a classic of literary travel and criticism, the book encapsulates the essence of Russian ethos from an external vantage, dissecting the intricate connections between the people's lives and the narratives spun by the nation's most revered writers. With an astute analytical style, Pardo Bazán navigates the reader through a tapestry of Russia's literary history, contextualizing it within the broader European literary movements of her time, and providing insightful commentary on how Russian literature both influences and reflects the soul of its people.

Emilia condesa de Pardo Bazán was a noted 19th-century Spanish author and scholar. Her erudite perspective was shaped by her extensive travels as well as her engagement with contemporary intellectual currents, which is evident in her perspicacious observations of Russian society. Through her detailed examination of literature and culture, Pardo Bazán sought to present an intricate picture of Russia to a Western audience, thereby bridging a gap of understanding that prevailed during her era.

This edition of 'Russia: Its People and Its Literature' is an indispensable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Russian culture and European literary criticism alike. DigiCat's careful reproduction of Pardo Bazán's examination into the heart of Russian culture serves as a tribute to her contributions as a literary figure and offers readers the opportunity to delve into the profound depths of Russian literary prowess, as guided by a remarkable historiographer of culture. The book is highly recommended for its enduring value as a cross-cultural literary study that resonates with relevance even in the contemporary scholarly discourse.

Responses to 7 October:...

David Hirsh, Rosa Freedman, Eric...

One of three volumes responding to the 7 October attack, Universities focuses on the heartland of contemporary antisemitic thinking, which is scholarship; and its reflection in student discourse on campus. 
Contributions go back to Sartre and to debates of Marx’s time; another looks at the New Left forged in the civil rights movement, and shows how antisemitic responses to the 2023 violence were anticipated by some of the responses to the 1967 Arab League aggression. The feminist movement and ‘progressives’ more generally come under scrutiny, and there is analysis of antisemitism on campus after 7 October, showing how it is tolerated and protected there; including in archaeological attempts to deny that there is an ancient Jewish history in Israel. 
This work will appeal to scholars, students and activists with an interest in antisemitism, Jewish studies and the politics of Israel.

Hereafter - The Telling Life of...

Vona Groarke

A lyrical portrait of a young Irish woman reinventing herself at the turn of the twentieth century in America. 
 
 
 
In July 1882, Ellen O'Hara stepped off a ship from the West of Ireland to begin a new life in New York. What she encountered was a world of casual racial prejudice that characterized her as ignorant, dirty, and feckless, the butt of many jokes. From the slim range of jobs available to her she, like, many of her kind, found a position as a domestic servant, working long hours and living in to save on rent and keep. After an unfortunate marriage, Ellen determined to win financial security on her own, and eventually opened a boarding house where her two children were able to rejoin her. 
 
 
 
Vona Groarke builds this story from historical fact, drawing from various archives for evidence of Ellen. However, she also considers why lives such as Ellen's seem to leave such a light trace in such records and fills in the gaps with memory and empathetic projection. Ellen—scrappy, skeptical, and straight-talking—is the heroine of Hereafter, whose resilience animates the story and whose voice shines through with vivid clarity. Hereafter is both a compelling account of an incredible figure and a reflection on how one woman's story can speak for more than one life.

Are you ready to boost your personal productivity—minus the fear and loathing? Are you ready to Banish Your Inner Critic and unleash the creative ideas and personal productivity within you? Help is on the way!
 
Blocked creative ideas. Everybody has one, an inner critic that tells you that others have more talent, you’re just faking it, and that you’ll never have those great creative ideas that seem just out of reach. This inner critic is a subconscious deterrent that stands between the seeds of great creative ideas and the fruits of achievement. It afflicts us with a mental block as deadlines approach, makes us so afraid of being judged that we hold ourselves back and don’t share our expertise, forces us to question our ability to learn ideas and technologies quickly; and makes us doubt, discount, and kill our ideas before they see the light of day.
 
Find a world of creative ideas. Denise Jacobs is a speaker, author and creativity evangelist who speaks at web conferences and consults with tech companies worldwide. As the Founder and Chief Creativity Evangelist of "The Creative Dose", she teaches techniques to make the creative process more fluid, how to make work environments more conducive to personal productivity, and practices for sparking innovation. Now, in Banish Your Inner Critic, Denise Jacobs shows you how to defeat barriers that are holding you back and achieve success through a positive mental attitude.

Ancient Myths And Nazi...

Davis Truman

A chilling exposé of how one of history’s most infamous regimes distorted the ancient past to engineer a deadly future. 
In Ancient Myths and Nazi Propaganda, Davis Truman unveils the shocking ways Adolf Hitler and the Nazi elite co-opted classical mythology, archaeology, and pseudo-history to fabricate the myth of Aryan supremacy. Drawing from original documents, Nazi-era publications, and modern scholarship, this groundbreaking work exposes how ancient symbols and legends were weaponized to create a false historical narrative, one that fueled genocide, war, and the darkest chapter of the twentieth century. 
From misused Greco-Roman iconography to twisted interpretations of Indo-European migration theories, Truman traces the roots of Nazi ideology through a manipulated lens of antiquity. He explores how fabricated “evidence” of ancient Aryan civilization was used to justify racial purity laws, territorial expansion, and the cultural erasure of entire populations. 
With compelling clarity and academic precision, Ancient Myths and Nazi Propaganda offers a powerful warning: when history is rewritten to serve an ideology, the consequences are catastrophic. 
Perfect for readers of history, politics, WWII studies, and anyone seeking to understand how ancient and modern myths can be used to manipulate truth and justify atrocity.
