A shocking, but also wryly humorous and ultimately uplifting memoir of an ordinary man sentenced to lengthy and brutal imprisonment in Putin’s Russia when he refused to give false evidence against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky.Published originally in Russian in 2013, The Prisoner is the true story of how an ordinary man’s life was torn apart by the Kremlin. One day, Vladimir was a senior manager in Yukos, an oil and gas company based in Moscow, enjoying the good life; the next, he was plunged into the nightmarish world of Russia’s notoriously brutal prisons and penal colonies, including some in which political prisoner Alexei Navalny has been, and continues to be, held. His ‘crime’ was to have refused to give false evidence against Yukos owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky. For this, Pereverzin was sentenced to a lengthy and harsh incarceration.As Russia has adopted new laws to punish people for sharing information about its ongoing ‘special operation’ in Ukraine, Vladimir’s striking memoir has become more relevant than ever.

Much has been written about Charles Iâ ™s reign, about the brutal civil war into which his pursuit of unfettered power plunged the realm, and about the Commonwealth regime that followed his defeat and execution. His reign is one that shaped the future of the British monarchy, and his legacy still remains with us today.The Prisoner King provides an examination of the crucial period encompassing Charles Iâ ™s captivity after his surrender to the Scots at Newark in May 1646. Not only were the subsequent months before his trial a time when the human dimension of the kingâ ™s predicament assumed intensity, they were also a critical watershed when the entire nation stood at the most fateful of crossroads.For Charles himself â “ as subterfuge, espionage and assassination rumours escalated on all fronts, escape attempts foundered, and tensions with his absent wife mounted agonisingly â “ the test was supreme. Yet, in a painful passage involving both stubborn impenitence and uncommon fortitude in the face of â ˜barbarous usageâ ™ by his captors, the â ˜Man of Bloodâ ™ would ultimately come to merit his unique place in history as Englandâ ™s â ˜martyr kingâ ™.

When the Nazis march into the city, Odile stands to lose everything she holds dear, including her beloved library.
