“…Гэты раман, назва якога запазычаная ў вядомай карціны Пітэра Брэйгеля-старэйшага, — гіпнатычная гісторыя жыцьця дзяўчыны Веранікі, німфаманкі-нарцысісткі, што жыве ў краіне, чымсьці падобнай да Беларусі, працуе ва ўправе канцэнтрацыйных лягераў… …Сьвет, які стварае Бахарэвіч, нагадвае хутчэй мроі з прозы Кафкі або Набокава, але структурна “Сарока на шыбеніцы” — гэта мазаіка ў духу Картасара....
Книжку відомої письменниці склали вибрані есе, виступи й доповіді, присвячені різним аспектам глобальної культурної кризи сьогодення. У центрі авторської уваги — культура українського суспільства "на переломі": пост-тоталітарного, пост-комуністичного, пост-колоніального і, за словами О. Забужко, ""пост-трагічного"", тобто такого, що втратило здатність переживати дійсність як трагедію. Поєднання гл...
From the author of On Tyranny comes a stunning new chronicle of the rise of authoritarianism from Russia to Europe and America. With the end of the Cold War, the victory of liberal democracy seemed final. Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. This faith was misplaced. Authoritarianism returned to Russia, as Putin found fascist ideas that could be use...
We have entered an age of forgetting. Our world, we insist, is unprecedented, wholly new. The past has nothing to teach us. Drawing provocative connections between a dazzling range of subjects, from Jewish intellectuals and the challenge of evil in the recent European past to the interpretation of the Cold War and the displacement of history by heritage, the late historian Tony Judt takes us beyon...

“I am enthusiastically European; no informed person could seriously wish to return to the embattled, mutually antagonistic circle of suspicious and introverted nations that was the European continent in the quite recent past. But it is one thing to think an outcome desirable, quite another to suppose it is possible. It is my contention that a truly united Europe is sufficiently unlikely for it to...
What makes a work of literature good or bad? How freely can the reader interpret it? Could a nursery rhyme like Baa Baa Black Sheep be full of concealed loathing, resentment and aggression? In this accessible, delightfully entertaining book, Terry Eagleton addresses these intriguing questions and a host of others. How to Read Literature is the book of choice for students new to the study of litera...
A gift to the next generation of engaged citizens, from one of our most celebrated intellectuals. As the economic collapse of 2008 made clear, the social contract that defined postwar life in Europe and America-the guarantee of security, stability, and fairness-is no longer guaranteed; in fact, it's no longer part of the common discourse. Tony Judt, one of our leading historians and think...
"When the facts change, I change my mind--what do you do, sir?" A great thinker’s final testament: a characteristically wise and forthright collection of essays spanning a career of extraordinary intellectual engagement In an age in which there has been an erosion of fact-based journalism and the lack of independent public intellectuals has often been sorely lamented, Tony Judt played a rar...
