  • Defectors - How the Illicit Flight of Soviet Citizens Built the Borders of the Cold War World - cover

    Defectors - How the Illicit...

    Defectors fleeing the Soviet Union seized the world's attention during the Cold War. Their stories were given sensational news coverage and dramatized in spy novels and films. Upon reaching the West, they were entitled to special benefits, including financial assistance and permanent residency. In contrast to other migrants, defectors were pursued by the states they left even as they were eagerly sought by the United States and its allies. Taking part in a risky game that played out across the globe, defectors sought to transcend the limitations of the Cold War world. 
 
 
 
Defectors follows their treacherous journeys and looks at how their unauthorized flight via land, sea, and air gave shape to a globalized world. It charts a global struggle over defectors that unfolded among rival intelligence agencies operating in the shadows of an occupied Europe, in the forbidden border zones of the USSR, in the disputed straits of the South China Sea, on a hijacked plane 10,000 feet in the air, and around the walls of Soviet embassies. 
 
 
 
Although defection all but disappeared after the Cold War, this innovative work shows how it shaped the governance of global borders and helped forge an international refugee system whose legacy and limitations remain with us to this day.

Do you wish you had paid attention and actually learned French in high school? Is “learn Spanish” one of the New Year’s resolutions you always fail to keep? Benny Lewis’s Fluent in 3 Months (2014) can teach you how to change that. 
A language is used for communication, and you should always strive to utilize it with other people, no matter what your skill level is. Forget the traditional learning methods, such as memorizing vocabulary lists and conjugation sheets, which are the reason many beginners get discouraged. Instead, Lewis shows you how to apply interesting methods that help you learn language quickly and start speaking it with others. The learning process should be fun and alive, just like language itself.

    Unlock the Profound Beauty of Human Connection and the Unstoppable March of Time.

Experience the height of stream of consciousness storytelling with Virginia Woolf's most autobiographical and evocative work, To the Lighthouse. Set on the Isle of Skye, the novel centers on the Ramsay family and their visits to the Scottish coast, framed by the anticipation of a simple trip to a nearby lighthouse—a trip that will take ten years and a lifetime of emotional change to complete.

Through the shifting perspectives of the nurturing Mrs. Ramsay, the intellectually demanding Mr. Ramsay, and the struggling artist Lily Briscoe, Woolf explores the intricate tensions of family life and the fleeting nature of experience. The famous middle section, "Time Passes," stands as one of the most haunting passages in literature, depicting the decay of the family home while world events and personal tragedies unfold in the background.

A landmark of Modernist literature, To the Lighthouse is more than a story; it is a meditation on how we perceive reality and the struggle to create something permanent in a world of constant flux.

Journey into the heart of the Ramsay family. Buy "To the Lighthouse" today and experience one of the greatest novels of the 20th century.

    A brilliant look at colonialism and its effects in Antigua—by the author of Annie John 
 
 
 
"If you go to Antigua as a tourist, this is what you will see. If you come by aeroplane, you will land at the V. C. Bird International Airport. Vere Cornwall (V. C.) Bird is the Prime Minister of Antigua. You may be the sort of tourist who would wonder why a Prime Minister would want an airport named after him—why not a school, why not a hospital, why not some great public monument. You are a tourist and you have not yet seen . . ." 
 
 
 
So begins Jamaica Kincaid's expansive essay, which shows us what we have not yet seen of the ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies where she grew up. 
 
 
 
Lyrical, sardonic, and forthright by turns, in a Swiftian mode, A Small Place cannot help but amplify our vision of one small place and all that it signifies.
