Mother River by Can Xue, translated by Karen Gernant, Chen Zeping
English | January 21, 2025 | ISBN: 1960385313, 9781960385321 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 2.3 MB
InMother River, Can Xue, one of China's most daring and visionary writers, invites us into a surreal landscape where reality is as fluid as a river itself. This collection of thirteen stories weaves together vivid, dreamlike narratives that challenge our perceptions of time, identity, and existence.

Through her signature blend of the absurd and the profound, Can Xue explores the fragile boundaries betwen the known and unknown, between humanity and nature. In these tales, a man tries to chase down an ellusive golden peacock, a woman communicates with mysterious, shifting forms of light, and the river that runs through a small village seems to pulse with memories of its own.
Surreal, provocative, and unique,Mother Riverreinforces Can Xue's status as one of the most rewarding and complex writers working today-and a perennial favorite to win the Nobel Prize.

Colin Turbett, "Motorcycles & Motorcycling in the USSR from 1939: - a Social and Technical History"
English | ISBN: 1787113140 | 2019 | 128 pages | EPUB | 38 MB
This book provides the first accessible English language account of motorcycles in the Soviet Union. Concentrating on the wartime and postwar period until 1990, prior to the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, it covers the motorcycles produced, and looks at the way in which they were used at home and exported abroad.

Chapters cover wartime, models produced, the social character of Soviet era motorcycling, and wide-ranging sport. With planned, rather than market-led, production based around copies of pre-war German BMW and DKW models, the industry churned out hundreds of thousands of utilitarian and rugged machines that were very different from the more fashion-orientated machines produced in the West. These motorcycles went under the place names of the producing factories: Ishevsk, Kovrov, Moskva, Minsk and, of course, the large flat twins produced in Irbit and Kiev under the Ural and Dnepr names.
With a strong emphasis on Soviet era illustrations, the book provides an insight into a life based on idealism and ideology that has now passed. Period photographs and images, many of them from private family collections, show Soviet bikes as well as popular imports Jawa from Czechoslovakia, and Pannonia from Hungary.

Wilhelm Agrell, "Mrs Petrov's Shoe: The True Story of a KGB Defection"
English | ISBN: 1788314603 | 2019 | 256 pages | PDF | 2 MB
On April 19, 1954, the world was gripped by an unfolding drama at Sydney Airport. A small, seemingly fragile woman, was being aggresively marched to an awaiting plane by two burly men. Evdokia Petrova was the wife of Soviet diplomat Vladimir Petrov who, two weeks earlier, had defected from the embassy in Canberra after a prolonged 'cultivation' by the Australian Security Service, supported by MI5. Evdokia was now being hurried back to Moscow by the KGB. The subsequent intervention by Australian Prime Minister Robert Menzies kept the world's media on tenterhooks.

But who was the couple at the center of this global news story?
After the defection, it turned out that Evdokia was, in fact, an even bigger catch than her husband. With a background both in cryptological work in Moscow and in field operations, she was able to supply Western intelligence with a wealth of information and insight into the workings of the Soviet intelligence system.
With access to newly-released archives and sources, this book sheds extraordinary new light on the two people at the heart of the Petrov Affair, one of the most bizarre stories of the Cold War era.

Much Ado About Keanu: A Critical Reeves Theory by Sezin Devi Koehler
English | April 29, 2025 | ISBN: 0913705225 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 0.7 MB
Thanks to his prolific movie career (seventy-eight movies and counting) and endearing real-life persona, Keanu Reeves has become the universal screen saver of pop culture-nobody can go a few days without some reference to Keanu or his movies popping up. But Reeves is much more than box office receipts and internet memes, and Much Ado About Keanu provides the in-depth look at his art, identity, and ethnicity that this oft-misunderstood cultural icon deserves.

Despite the sometimes-mocking estimations of his acting skills-and his seven Razzie nominations-Keanu Reeves is one of the most thoughtful and talented performers of his generation, and during his forty-year career he has made huge strides for Asian and Indigenous representation in spite of his identity often being whitewashed.
Pop culture sociologist and Reeves devotee Sezin Devi Koehler explores all of this, presenting insightful essays that critically examine Reeves's creative output from an interdisciplinary and intersectional perspective. Those who code Reeves as white miss how his multiracial identity informs so many of his mainstream films, often subverting their most straightforward themes. Criticisms of his acting overlook the popularity and the reach of his work.
Koehler's essays challenge how audiences engage with Keanu's movies, highlighting the importance of Keanu as a multitalented artist and trailblazer, not only for racial representation but for intersectional, queer, and feminist readings of cinema as well.
Much Ado About Keanu connects existing media studies around various themes in Reeves's films-particularly Asian and Indigenous representation, gender studies, philosophy, technology, and sexuality studies-in a "Critical Reeves Theory" sure to engage not just fans but all of us who live in Keanu's world.

Olivier Urbain, "Music, Power and Liberty: Sound, Song and Melody as Instruments of Change "
English | ISBN: 1784534439 | 2015 | 224 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Music is a complex and multi-faceted art form. Yet too often it is regarded as discrete and self-contained. The chapters in this groundbreaking book explore different aspects of how music may shape society and culture, yet go much further in viewing musical activity as a mode of power that can transform the lives of communities and individuals. The contributors (who include sociologists, musicologists and performers) focus above all on the relationship between music and the political upheavals of the Arab Spring. They examine key topics like music and revolution in Tunisia; the Egyptian musical tradition of the Revolutionary Song; and the ambivalent social status of the Arab musician, revered by the public when performing but also facing suspicion in a society where music is rightly seen as dangerous and subversive. In showing how music has been used to challenge the status quo, as well as enforce it, the ambiguity of music is fully revealed: it can be used to bolster both regime power and popular liberty, often simultaneously. This is a vital contribution to more nuanced understandings of music and politics.

Hsiu-lien Lu, "My Fight for a New Taiwan: One Woman's Journey from Prison to Power"
English | ISBN: 0295995556 | 2016 | 344 pages | EPUB | 5 MB
Lu Hsiu-lien's journey is the story of Taiwan. Through her successive drives for gender equality, human rights, political reform, Taiwan independence, and, currently, environmental protection, Lu has played a key role in Taiwan's evolution from dictatorship to democracy. The election in 2000 of Democratic Progressive Party leader Chen Shui-bian to the presidency, with Lu as his vice president, ended more than fifty years of rule by the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party).

Taiwan's painful struggle for democratization is dramatized here in the life of Lu, a feminist leader and pro-democracy advocate who was imprisoned for more than five years in the 1980s. Unlike such famous Asian women politicians as Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi, India's Indira Gandhi, and Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto, Lu Hsiu-lien grew up in a family without political connections. Her impoverished parents twice attempted to give her away for adoption, and as an adult she survived cancer and imprisonment, later achieving success as an elected politician―the first self-made woman to serve with such prominence in Asia.
My Fight for a New Taiwan's rich narrative gives readers an insider's perspective on Taiwan's unique blend of Chinese and indigenous culture and recent social transformation.

My Friends: A Novel by Fredrik Backman
English | May 6, 2025 | ISBN: 1982112824, 9781982112844 | True EPUB | 448 pages | 3.4 MB
#1 New York Times bestselling author Fredrik Backman returns with an unforgettably funny, deeply moving tale of four teenagers whose friendship creates a bond so powerful that it changes a complete stranger's life twenty-five years later.

Most people don't even notice them-three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it's just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures.
Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier, telling silly jokes, sharing secrets, and committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love.
Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa's care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The closer she gets to the painting's birthplace, the more nervous she becomes about what she'll find. Louisa is proof that happy endings don't always take the form we expect in this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art.

Concha Alborg, "My Mother, That Stranger: Letters from the Spanish Civil War "
English | ISBN: 1789760305 | 2019 | 240 pages | EPUB | 8 MB
Over eight-hundred letters were written between the authors newly-engaged parents during the time that her father was on the Republican war front fighting against Francos forces, and her mother awaiting the end of the war. Her father, Professor Juan Luis Alborg, would live to become a well-known literary historian and critic. Her mothers life, on the other hand, was overshadowed by her husbands academic celebrity. The letters were discovered whilst preparing for a symposium marking the centenary of her fathers birth, celebrated at the University of Malaga in 2014. This unique memoir is a microhistory of the Spanish Civil War at an individual level; it illuminates the official story as told in history books at multiple levels. Her mothers personal narrative adds to the understanding of this significant time because she shows how a family lived in the midst of war. A primary relevance is that she lived in Valencia, which in November 1936 become the official capital of the Republican government. Working in a government co-op gave her an insiders view of the ongoing political and military situation. She describes the contrasting burdens between family life in Valencia, and the life of her fiance soldier on the southern frontlines. The authors mother is exemplary of the women who were formed under the liberal Second Spanish Republic (1931-39) only to be silenced during Francos repressive dictatorship (1939-75). The long-lost letters made Concha Alborg realise how little she understood her mothers passion to set down complex feelings in the most difficult of circumstances. This book will be of interest to Hispanists, historians and literary critics for its uniqueness on the epistolary genre and gender studies, and to the general public as a heartfelt family memoir.

Narrative Concepts and Techniques in International Literary Fiction (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature) by Ken Ireland
English | April 14, 2025 | ISBN: 1032912057 | True EPUB/PDF | 242 pages | 0.8/3 MB
The omnipresence of narrative in our real-life experience and in the media world makes it a vital and relevant factor for study. This book presents an easily accessible guide to a series of key narrative topics, with concise entries in a transparent format of compact paragraphs allowing quick reference and omitting footnotes and endnotes to aid fluency.

It uses throughout a wide range of illustrative examples from Western and non-Western literature, stressing the universal relevance and application of narrative concepts and techniques. These examples are intended to stimulate interest in less familiar, non-mainstream but important texts, and to highlight unsuspected features in more familiar texts. Engaging with texts from Africa and Asia, the Americas and Australasia, as well as from Britain and Europe, it will appeal to students of comparative literature, to creative writers, whose awareness of available techniques and devices can prompt fresh ideas and approaches, and and will introduce general readers to new areas of literary experience.

Jim Bowman, "Narratives of Cyprus: Modern Travel Writing and Cultural Encounters since Lawrence Durrell "
English | ISBN: 184885918X | 2014 | 240 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Unease has marked relations between modern travel writers and the people of Cyprus. Visitors like Lawrence Durrell, Colin Thubron, Christopher Hitchens and Sebastian Junger have registered the effects of political strife on both the people of the island and those who visit from abroad. Their accounts demonstrate how geopolitical realities-such as colonization, insurgency, inter-communal warfare, and now decades of militarized 'peace'-shape the narrating self and its relations to others. Here, Jim Bowman assesses the effects of Cypriot history on writings about the island through an analysis of memoirs, travelogues, political journalism, guide books and ethnographies. Through this examination of popular texts, Bowman shows how a western and politicized image of Cyprus has been created, increasingly divorced from the realities experienced by the local population. Narratives of Cyprus is an important reassessment of Cyprus' place in British culture, and will be of interest to scholars and students of Anthropology, English Literature and Ethnographic Studies.

Alexandros Lamprou, "Nation-Building in Modern Turkey: The 'People's Houses', the State and the Citizen "
English | ISBN: 1780768761 | 2015 | 320 pages | PDF | 2 MB
From 1924 to 1946 the Republic of Turkey was in effect ruled as an authoritarian single-party regime. During these years the state embarked upon an extensive reform programme of modernisation and nation-building. Alexandros Lamprou here offers an alternative understanding of social change and state-society relations in Turkey, shifting the focus from the state as the prime instigator of change to the population's participation in the process of reform. Through the study of the 'People's Houses', the community centres opened and operated by the Republican People's Party in most cities and towns of Turkey, and using previously unpublished archival material, Lamprou analyses how ordinary people experienced, negotiated and resisted the reforms in the 1930s and 1940s and how this process contributed to the shaping of social identities. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of nation-building, socio-cultural change and state-society relations in modern Turkey.

Vassilis Petsinis, "National Identity in Serbia: The Vojvodina and a Multi-Ethnic Community in the Balkans"
English | ISBN: 1788313739 | 2019 | 280 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The autonomous province of Vojvodina in Serbia is little-known in the English-speaking world, even though it is a territory of high significance for the development of Serbian national identity. Vojvodina's multi-ethnic composition and historical experience has also encouraged the formation of a distinct regional identity. This book analyses the evolution of Vojvodina's identity over time and the unique pattern of ethnic relations in the province. Although approximately 25 ethnic communities live in Vojvodina, it is by no means a divided society. Intercultural cohabitation has been a living reality in the province for centuries and this largely accounts for the lack of ethnic conflict. Vassilis Petsinis explores Vojvodina's intercultural society and shows how this has facilitated the introduction of flexible and regionalized legal models for the management of ethnic relations in Serbia since the 2000s. He also discusses recent developments in the region, most notably the arrival of refugees from Syria and Iraq, and measures the impact that these changes have had on social stability and inter-group relations in the province.

Cathrine Thorleifsson, "Nationalism and the Politics of Fear in Israel: Race and Identity on the Border with Lebanon "
English | ISBN: 1780767501 | 2015 | 232 pages | EPUB | 1477 KB
Kiryat Shmona, located near the Israeli-Lebanese border, often makes the news whenever there is an outbreak of violence between the two countries. In Israel's northernmost city, the residents are mostly Mizrahim, that is, Jews descending from Arab and Muslim lands. Cathrine Thorleifsson uses the dynamics at play along this border to develop wider conclusions about the nature of nationalism, identity, ethnicity and xenophobia in Israel, and the ways in which these shift over time and are manipulated in different ways for various ends. She explores the idea of being on the 'periphery' of nationhood: examining the identity-forming and negotiating processes of these Mizrahim who do not neatly dove-tail with the predominantly Ashkenazi concept of what it means to be 'Israeli'. Through in-depth ethnographic observation and analysis, Thorleifsson highlights the daily negotiation of Moroccan and Persian Jewish families who define themselves in opposition to Ashkenazi Jews from Russia and Central and Eastern Europe and the Druze, Christian and Muslim Arab populations which surround them. But this is not just an examination of differences and stereotypes which are continually perpetuated.

Instead, Thorleifsson highlights the instances of inter-marriage between Mizrahi and Ashkenazi Jews, and what this means for the high politics of nationalist narratives as well as the everyday aspect of family dynamics. But having done so, she does also acknowledge that many of Israel's laws which deal with ethnic identity do result in discrimination and daily exclusion against a large number of its citizens, something which reflects the ethnocratic character of the state. By including all of these different aspects of the daily negotiation of identity in a northern town in Israel, Thorleifsson offers a frank and balanced account of the nature of state nationalism and the people who are affected by it. Covering an interesting aspect of Israeli society which is often overlooked, this account of relations between both Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews and those between Mizrahi Jews and Palestinians is an important contribution to the study of Israeli and Middle Eastern societies.

Nature at Night: Discover the Hidden World That Comes Alive after Dark by Charles Hood
English | April 29, 2025 | ISBN: 1643263137 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 75.8 MB
A new world awakens in the dark, filled with spectacular bioluminescence, moon-kissed flora, and diverse wildlife-all captured in this spectacular photography book.

While old tales warn us that danger lies waiting in the dark, there is actually an abundance of thriving, colorful life. Solar winds brighten the sky with Northern and Southern Lights. In the desert, elegant datura blooms at night, enticing moths to help with pollination, while in the Rockies grizzly bears make a meal of the insects to sustain them during hibernation.In the ocean, night-feeding dolphins chase nocturnal squid which have made a vertical migration to the surface. In the jungles, jaguars hunt by moonlight while night monkeys swing safely through the trees.
Experienced naturalist and photographer Charles Hood captures it all, sharing his nocturnal adventures all over the world, with insight, wit, and over 240 stunning photographs. Open your senses to this darkened world, which is strange yet familiar-and more beautiful than you ever imagined.

Nuala C. Johnson, "Nature Displaced, Nature Displayed: Order and Beauty in Botanical Gardens "
English | ISBN: 1848857128 | 2011 | 288 pages | PDF | 19 MB
Botanical gardens brought together in a single space the great diversity of the earth's flora. They displaced nature from forest and foothill and re-arranged it to reveal something of the scientific principles underpinning the apparent chaos of the wild. Nature Displaced, Nature Displayed shows how the design and display of such gardens was not determined by scientific principles alone. Through a study of three botanical gardens - belonging to the University of Cambridge, the Royal Dublin Society, and the Belfast Natural History Society - the author shows how the final outcome involved a complex interplay of ideas about place, identity, empire, botanical science, and especially aesthetics, creating spaces that would educate the mind as well as please the senses. This highly engaging book offers a wealth of fresh insights into both the history and development of botanical gardens as well as connections between science and aesthetics.

Fikret Adaman, "Neoliberal Turkey and its Discontents: Economic Policy and the Environment under Erdogan "
English | ISBN: 1784538728 | 2017 | 288 pages | PDF | 5 MB
The 'neoliberal' economic policy of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's AKP Party, which has delivered extraordinary growth in Turkish GDP over the last decade, has been one of the foundations of the party's popular appeal. Here, a group of experts on Turkish political economy show how these policies have also had a detrimental impact on the environment, sustainability and the long-term health of the Turkish economy. Taking the two main sectors of growth during the past decade-energy and construction-as its primary focus, the book engages broadly with the political economy of inequality and sustainability in contemporary Turkey. Ultimately, the authors argue that 'environmental conflicts' in Turkey are not merely about the environment but intersect with contemporary politics of religion, ethnicity, gender, and class within the context of top-down, modernising economic development. Neoliberal Turkey and its Discontents marks an important contribution to debates around the economic growth of Turkey and the future of the AKP's long-term economic plan.
