Kiev - Kyiv - is in chaos. Russia has withdrawn from World War I but the Germans have set up a puppet government in Ukraine. Civil war rages: the Bolsheviks have seized power in Russia, but the anti-revolutionary White Guard who have fled to Ukraine, are rallying to resist. In the meantime, Ukrainian nationalists are camped outside the capital, and a Red army is on its way to bring everyone to heel. While all this is going on, the Turbin family try to eke out their existence in Kyiv and discuss what they should do. They are exactly the sort of family - monarchist intelligentsia - for whom the future looks particularly menacing.Bulgakov''s brilliant and evocative prose brings the city and the moment unforgettably to life and sheds some fascinating light on the complex interwoven histories of Ukraine and Russia.

Set in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev during the chaotic winter of 1918–19, The White Guard, Bulgakov’s first full-length novel, tells the story of a Russian-speaking family trapped in circumstances that threaten to destroy them. As in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, the narrative centres on the stark contrast between the cosy domesticity of family life on the one hand, and wide-ranging and destructive historical events on the other.The result is a disturbing, often shocking story, illuminated, however, by shafts of light that testify to people’s resilience, humanity and ability to love in even the most adverse circumstances.

Světově proslulý román Mistr a Markétka, na němž ruský prozaik a dramatik Michail Bulgakov (1891-1940) začal pracovat koncem dvacátých let a který dokončil, již zcela vyčerpaný a téměř slepý, pouhých několik dní před smrtí, náleží do zlatého fondu světové literatury a je právem považován za jedno z nejpozoruhodnějších literárních děl 20. století. Ačkoli se začalo rodit již téměř před sto lety, jde o dílo stále živé - dílo, které čtenářské publikum nepřestává okouzlovat, ba fascinovat již po řadu generací.Mistra a Markétku lze charakterizovat jako mnohovrstevnatou magicko-realistickou fantaskní grotesku zasazenou do veskrze reálných - a z dnešního hlediska zcela absurdních - poměrů, které v Sovětském svazu panovaly na přelomu dvacátých a třicátých let minulého století. Lze jej číst jako mistrovskou satiru na dobové pořádky, ale také jako důmyslnou variaci na faustovské téma, svéráznou filozofickou alegorii a především jako strhující příběh nikdy nekončícího střetávání dobra se zlem, viny a neviny, odvahy a zbabělosti, který nám skýtá nejen mimořádný čtenářský zážitek, ale také nás ponouká k tomu, abychom spolu s autorem hledali odpovědi na základní otázky lidského bytí.Michail Bulgakov se vydání svého vrcholného díla nedočkal, román poprvé vyšel až čtvrtstoletí po jeho smrti, navíc v okleštěné a cenzurované podobě.Kniha vychází v překladu naší ...

A graphic adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s cult classic The Devil arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a bizarre band of acolytes: a witch, an assassin, and a talking cat. Together, they systematically wreak havoc in the Russian capital. Caught up in the chaos are two lovers: the Master, a writer broken by criticisms of his novel about Pontius Pilate, and Margarita, for whom the Devil has his own plans. At once a love story, a meditation on the nature of good and evil, and a brilliant satire of mid-20th-century Soviet life, The Master and Margarita was initially banned by the very bureaucracy it criticized. In this captivating, beautifully drawn graphic novel, Andrzej Klimowski and Danusia Schejbal bring to vibrant life the masterpiece that has since become the defining work of 20th-century Russian literature.

TRANSLATED BY MICHAEL GLENNYWith the ink still wet on his diploma, the twenty-five-year-old Dr Mikhail Bulgakov was flung into the depths of rural Russia which, in 1916-17, was still largely unaffected by such novelties as the motor car, the telephone or electric light. How his alter-ego copes (or fails to cope) with the new and often appalling responsibilities of a lone doctor in a vast country practice - on the eve of Revolution - is described in Bulgakov''s delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance.

In Bulgakov's 'Diaboliad', the modest and unassuming office clerk Korotkov is summarily sacked for a trifling error from his job at the Main Central Depot of Match Materials, and tries to seek out his newly assigned superior, responsible for his dismissal. His quest through the labyrinth of Soviet bureaucracy takes on the increasingly surreal dimensions of a nightmare. This early satirical story, reminiscent of Gogol and Dostoevsky, was first published in 1924 and incurred the wrath of pro-Soviet critics.Along with the three other stories in this volume, which also explore the themes of the absurd and bizarre, it provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistic development of the author of The Master and Margarita.

Bulgakovovo vrcholné a poslední dílo, které autorovi právem získalo světovou proslulost. V Bulgakovově groteskním mnohavrstevném mystériu se rozvíjí a prolíná více rovin: je stejně tak fantaskním a symbolickým obrazem doby, jako realistickým vylíčením dusné atmosféry Moskvy 20. a 30. let 20. století, biblickým apokryfem, eschatologickou vizí i ostrou satirou na poměry. Svůj "příběh novodobého Fausta" začal Bulgakov psát v r. 1929 a poslední úpravy diktoval, už slepý, své ženě pět dní před smrtí roku 1940. Kniha vychází v novém překladu Světlany Glaserové, kde oproti dřívějším překladům není Margarita překládána jako Markétka, což více vyhovuje obsahu díla. Doslov Světlana Glaserová.

“There is absolutely no necessity to learn how to read; meat smells a mile off, anyway. Nevertheless, if you live in Moscow and have a brain in your head, you’ll pick up reading willy-nilly, and without attending any courses. Out of the forty thousand or so Moscow dogs, only a total idiot won’t know how to read the word ‘sausage’.”When a stray dog dying on the streets of Moscow is taken in by a wealthy professor, he is subjected to medical experiments in which he receives various transplants of human organs. As he begins to transform into a rowdy, unkempt human by the name of Poligraf Poligrafovich Sharikov, his actions distress the professor and those surrounding him, although he finds himself accepted into the ranks of the Soviet state.A parodic reworking of the Frankenstein myth and a vicious satire of the Communist revolution and the concept of the New Soviet man, A Dog’s Heart was banned by the censors in 1925 and circulated only in samizdat form. Nowadays this hugely entertaining tale has become very popular in Russia, and has inspired many adaptations across the world.

When it was established alongside the United States Air Force in 1947, the Air National Guard consisted of a colorful mix of World War II veterans and a dubious collection of "flyable storage" aircraft, mostly obsolete. Four years later, it was mobilized for the Korean War, which, after producing a handful of National Air Guard jet aces, precipitated an influx of new equipment for the unit. The Air Guard had entered the "Jet Age," an era in which it truly belonged, and began entering air races and aerobatic competitions, winning public appeal as an elite unit with crack pilots and state-of-the-art jet aircraft. This book is a detailed history of the first two decades of the Air National Guard as it evolved from a post-war hometown "flying club" for World War II veterans to a critical operational force integral to U.S. aerial strength. It uncovers the dramatic stories of the combat aces and record-breaking jet racers, as well as the pioneers who established the Air Guard on a wing and a prayer, and those who molded it into a first-rate fighting force.

By Satoshi NakamotoGuide by Jaya Klara BrekkeIntroduction by James BridleEdited by Ben Vickers In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto published a revolutionary white paper that described a simple peer-to-peer electronic cash system that would later become Bitcoin. In the decade since the launch of the digital currency, the nascent blockchain technology behind Bitcoin has been heralded as having the same radical potential as the printing press or the Internet, in particular presenting extraordinary challenges to traditional banking. Yet the paper contains no reference to existing political ideas, monetary or economic knowledge. Why?James Bridle’s introduction situates Bitcoin within an obscure historical movement of decentralisation, powered by the ideologies of encryption, showing how blockchain is part of a wider project to redraw the maps of political possibility. The White Paper returns to Nakamoto’s canonical text as a Rosetta Stone that reveals the far-reaching implications of decentralisation, with crypto-economist Jaya Klara Brekke’s guide demonstrating how it can serve as the compass for a rapidly shifting terrain of contemporary techno-politics.Inside The White Paper: Extensive introduction by James Bridle on the historical trajectory of cryptography and how it gave rise to the blockchain.

An MSNBC political analyst and former Hillary Clinton staffer examines the past and present problems of the Left—and makes a compelling case for how to take back our government and secure a better future for America.In the entire history of the United States of America, we've never elected a woman as our president. And we've only had one president who was not a white man.After working on two presidential campaigns (for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton), MSNBC political analyst and SiriusXM host Zerlina Maxwell gained first-hand knowledge of everything liberals have been doing right over the past few elections-and everything they are still doing wrong. Ultimately, these errors worked in President Donald Trump's favor in 2016; he effectively ran a campaign on white identity politics, successfully tapping into white male angst and resistance. In 2020, after the Democratic Party's most historically diverse pool of presidential candidates finally dwindled down to Joe Biden, once again an older white man, Maxwell has posed the ultimate question: what now, liberals?Fueled by Maxwell's trademark wit and candor, The End of White Politics dismantles the past and present problems of the Left, challenging everyone from scrappy, young "Bernie Bros" to seasoned power players in the ...

The gripping story of the lure of porcelain, or ''white gold'', from the Number One bestselling author of The Hare with Amber Eyes.** A Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller ** "Other things in the world are white but for me porcelain comes first" A handful of clay from a Chinese hillside carries a promise: that mixed with the right materials, it might survive the fire of the kiln, and fuse into porcelain - translucent, luminous, white.

When the first Africans arrived in Virginia in 1619, there were no 'white' people there; nor, according to colonial records, would there be for another sixty years. Historical debate about the origin of racial slavery has focused on the status of the Negro in seventeenth-century Virginia and Maryland. However, as Theodore W. Allen argues in this magisterial work, what needs to be studied is the transformation of English, Scottish, Irish and other European colonists from their various statuses as servants, tenants, planters or merchants into a single new all-inclusive status: that of whites. This is the key to the paradox of American history, of a democracy resting on race assumptions.Volume One of this two-volume work attempts to escape the 'white blind spot' which has distorted consecutive studies of the issue. It does so by looking in the mirror of Irish history for a definition of racial oppression and for an explanation of that phenomenon in terms of social control, free from the absurdities of classification by skin color. Compelling analogies are presented between the history of Anglo-Irish and British rule in Ireland and American White Supremacist oppression of Indians and African-Americans. But the relativity of race is shown in the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

'Fascinating' - Eamon Dunphy'Meticulously researched' - Sunday Independent'A wonderful account of the special relationships between Ireland and the USA' Bertie AhernThe links between Ireland and US presidents extend much further and deeper than JFK: from Andrew Jackson in 1829 to Woodrow Wilson in 1913 and Joe Biden in 2021, Ireland's sway in the White House is hugely significant. Spanning the centuries, from the American Revolution to the birth of the Irish Republic and JFK's heady glamour, The Green and White House takes in political machinations and the firebrands who pushed for freedom, justice and peace for Ireland. For centuries, Irish emigrants crossed the Atlantic by boat, but an intense diplomatic bromance has seen American commanders-in-chief returning to remote Irish villages via Air Force One and armoured limousines. Each homecoming turns local people into international media darlings, but this transatlantic courtship has secured Ireland an annual invite to the White House - something no other nation can rival. The Green And White House takes a wry look at the special relationship one tiny nation shares with the world's greatest superpower.
