"In 1998, Russian-born Paullina Simons returned with her father to her home country for the first time in twenty-five years to research her fourth novel, tentatively titled The Bronze Horseman. This brief trip became a remarkable walk through a land where time had stood still. Paullina found family, old friends and a landscape still scarred by World War II and seventy years of Communist rule. She also found extravegant hospitality, abundant food, and spectacular white nights. These six days in Leningrad changed Paullina's life forever."--

Die tiefgreifenden Veränderungen, welche die europäische Moderne prägten, hatten ihren Ort vor allem in den Städten. Diese wurden im Verlauf des 19.und20.Jahrhunderts zum Lebensumfeld der meisten Menschen. Welche Auswirkungen das hatte, wurde von den Zeitgenossen jedoch selten wirklich verstanden. Friedrich Lenger entfaltet in diesem Buch ein beeindruckendes Panorama der politischen, sozialen, kulturellen und ökonomischen Geschichte, welche die europäische Stadt seit der Mitte des 19.Jahrhunderts erlebt hat. Wie gingen die europäischen Gesellschaften mit den sozialen und ethnischen Konflikten um, die in den Städten besonders deutlich zutage tragen? Und wieso waren die Städte der Ort so vieler Gewalttaten, wie sie besonders das 20.Jahrhundert prägten? Friedrich Lenger sieht weit über die Metropolen Paris, London und Berlin hinaus und nimmt die europäische Landkarte von Lissabon bis St. Petersburg, von Dublin bis Konstantinopel in den Blick. Sein gesamteuropäisch angelegtes Opus magnum erzählt die Geschichte der Moderne aus einer neuen Perspektive.

Bloodlands written by Timothy Snyder and has been published by Basic Books this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-10-02 with History categories.
From the author of the international bestseller On Tyranny, the definitive history of Hitler’s and Stalin’s politics of mass killing, explaining why Ukraine has been at the center of Western history for the last century. Americans call the Second World War “the Good War.” But before it even began, America’s ally Stalin had killed millions of his own citizens—and kept killing them during and after the war. Before Hitler was defeated, he had murdered six million Jews and nearly as many other Europeans. At war’s end, German and Soviet killing sites fell behind the Iron Curtain, leaving the history of mass killing in darkness. Assiduously researched, deeply humane, and utterly definitive, Bloodlands is a new kind of European history, presenting the mass murders committed by the Nazi and Stalinist regimes as two aspects of a single story. With a new afterword addressing the relevance of these events to the contemporary decline of democracy, Bloodlands is required reading for anyone seeking to understand the central tragedy of modern history and its meaning today.

A Mountain of Crumbs is the moving story of a young Soviet girl's discovery of the hidden truths of adulthood and her country's profound political deception. Elena, born with a desire to explore the world beyond her borders, finds her passion in the complexity of the English language - but in the Soviet Union of the 1960s, such a passion verges on the subversive. Elena's home is no longer the majestic Russia of literature or the tsars. Instead, it is a nation humiliated by its first faltering steps after World War II, putting up appearances for the sake of its regime and fighting to retain its pride. In this deeply affecting memoir, Elena re-creates the world that both oppressed and inspired her. She recounts stories passed down to her about the horrors of the Bolshevik Revolution and probes the daily deprivations and small joys of her family's bunkerlike existence. Through Elena's captivating voice, we learn not only the personal story of Russia in the second half of the twentieth century, but also the story of one rebellious citizen whose love of a foreign language finally transports her to a new world.

Finalist for the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing From the bestselling author of A Mountain of Crumbs, a “brilliant and illuminating” (BookPage) portrait of mothers and daughters that reaches from Cold War Russia to modern-day New Jersey to show how the ties that hold you back can also teach you how to start over. Elena Gorokhova moves to the US in her twenties to join her American husband and to break away from her mother, a mirror image of her Soviet Motherland: overbearing, protective, and difficult to leave. Before the birth of Elena’s daughter, her mother comes to help care for the baby and stays for twenty-four years, ordering everyone to eat soup and wear a hat, just as she did in Leningrad. Russian Tattoo is the story of a unique balancing act and a family struggle: three generations of strong women with very different cultural values, all living under the same roof and battling for control. As Elena strives to bridge the gap between the cultures of her past and present and find her place in a new world, she comes to love the fierce resilience of her Soviet mother when she recognizes it in her American daughter. “Gorokhova writes about her life with a novelist’s gift,” says The New York Times, and her second memoir is filled with empathy, insight, and humor.
