_______________ 'One of the most emotive accounts of life in Nazi Austria that I've ever read' - Guardian 'A moving portrait of a girl forced to come of age in a world at war' - Sunday Times 'Vividly depicted and shrewdly observed ... The world evoked here strikes me as fundamentally true' - Sydney Morning Herald _______________ An unforgettable, nightmarish coming-of-age story set in rural Austria towards the end of the Second World War. It is 1944, and war has taken the men in Nazi-controlled Austria to the front line. For thirteen-year-old Ursula Hildesheim, life in the village of Felddorf remains almost as it was: bullied by her schoolmates, idly thieving from the village shop, enlisted in endless chores by her mama and sister and running wild with her adored older brother Anton. But when Russian prisoners escape from the local concentration camp, her mama starts an affair with a married man, her friend goes missing and her brother's allegiance to the Hitler Youth emerges in shocking ways, Ursula finds herself alone, disturbed by dark memories, and surrounded by threat. In this new world of conflict, Ursula discovers a bravery she has never known before and is forced to recognise that danger comes not only from the enemy at the door but from the enemy within. My Own Dear Brother is a remarkable coming-of-age story and an unflinching study of both cruelty and courage. Rich in folklore, it introduces a daring young heroine and a powerful new literary voice. _______________ 'Intensely imagined' - Independent 'A powerful and absorbing novel ... Brilliantly done' - Esther Freud, author of Mr Mac and Me 'A touching chronicle of some of the lesser-known casualties of war and of the resilience of human spirit' - Washington Independent Review of Books 'Muller creates a flawed and vulnerable young heroine we believe in' - The Australian

Ukrainian Epic And Historical Song written by Natalie Kononenko and has been published by University of Toronto Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-03-06 with Literary Criticism categories.
Ukrainian epic, or dumy, were first recorded from blind mendicant minstrels in the nineteenth century, yet they reflect events dating back to as early as the 1300s. Ukrainian Epic and Historical Song provides new translations in contemporary English of these songs of family strife, war, and human dignity. It also explains the historical events celebrated in epic and other historical songs: fierce battles, rebellion against tyranny, the struggles of captivity, the joys of escape from slavery. Natalie Kononenko's expert translation and analysis of Ukrainian epics provides a sweeping social history of folklore that is vital to Ukrainian identity. A translation of at least one variant of every known epic is included. Whereas earlier trends in folklore scholarship emphasized genre purity and compartmentalization, Kononenko critically examines the events about which songs were sung. Her emphasis on the lives of ordinary people rather than on leaders reshapes our understanding of how epics were composed and performed. Kononenko's ground-breaking analysis also illuminates Ukrainian self-understanding and explains how songs preserve and perpetuate historical memory. Scholars interested in epic song, history, and general folklore will benefit from this work. Members of the Ukrainian diaspora will find new appreciation of Ukrainian folklore.
