Richard Rojcewicz’s Heidegger, Plato, Philosophy, Death: An Atmosphere of Mortality offers an original perspective on the bond between philosophy and death in the thought of Martin Heidegger and Plato. For Heidegger, authentic being-toward-death is not preoccupation with death as such, nor resoluteness in the face of one's demise, but preoccupation with the meaning of the beings—ourselves—who comport themselves understandingly toward death and who breathe an atmosphere of mortality. Authentic dying is then nothing other than the practice of philosophy. For Plato, philosophy is the practice of dying, the separating of the soul to its own autonomous existence. This separation, however, is not that of the soul from the body. Instead, it is separation from common understanding, hearsay, everydayness, and mediocrity. Accordingly, both Heidegger and Plato see an intimate connection between philosophy and death. Rather than a morbid focus on negativity and dissolution, however, this connection leads to a call to being authentic, thinking for oneself, and repudiating the superficiality of the crowd. For both Heidegger and Plato, philosophizing and dying are, most concretely, a matter of heeding the Delphic oracle: Know thyself. Rojcewicz pursues this theme of philosophy and death through the topics of signs, anxiety, conscience, music, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

A tale of adventure, a coming-of-age novel and a biography of immigrant experience—THE WIDE WORLD is all of the above in one exciting, action-packed volume. Written for both young and old readers back in 1895, the Russian master, Vladimir Korolenko, traces the life’s journey of his strong, broad-shouldered hero, Matvei Lozinsky, from a remote village I n Ukraine to the churning existence of Gilded Age New York. Mystifying, intimidating, sometimes even threatening, immigrant trials and tribulations test the mettle of this upright young man with a luxuriant beard who doesn’t know a single word of English. His troubles begin in the great German immigrant port of Hamburg when he and his lively sidekick, Puff, miss the right boat and find themselves on one that almost collides with an iceberg. All turns out well: the young travelers dance on deck, and Matvei meets and falls in love with beautiful Anna. Freedom is the magnet; the friends know too little of it back in their homeland. Is it just because the great statue in New York harbor greets new immigrants, or something more? Matvei, Puff, and Anna disembark and think they’ve come not so much to a new country as to a new planet. The streets are filled with rushing crowds doing incomprehensible things. Incessant noise assaults the newcomers—steamship whistles, clanking trolleys, trains thundering along the famous Elevated—all so unlike the peaceful village sounds they knew. Church steeples are the highest points of the 19th century landscape, but the other structures—the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the El—all newly built—bear down upon them. Fortunately, they have some help—good advice and even better examples of the new life—from a kindly Jewish family that runs a boarding house where they settle. There’s worse to come though. Puff succumbs to Tammany Hall corruption, and Anna and Matvei tie in with a nasty, expatriate Russian noblewoman. Intrepid Matvei even stares down a wolf in Central Park—that after becoming a homeless wanderer in the teeming melting pot of immigrant New York. He blunders upon and disrupts a rally of the city’s unemployed led by the famed 19th century labor leader Samuel Gompers. Matvei is cursed with notoriety because of the episode and pictures of the mysterious “giant” which had appeared on the front pages of all the newspapers. He clashes with the police and is rescued by a band of intrepid Italian compatriots. Placed in a train headed west, the city left behind, replaced by an American countryside that seems familiar, Matvei’s view of the new land begins to change. Judge Dick Dickinson gives him a new understanding of American law, and he comes to know Nilov, an idealistic Russian immigrant. His hopes of immigration and his experience of freedom come to be realized. AUTHOR: In Russia, Vladimir Galaktinovich Korolenko has an honored place in the great pantheon of 19th century Russian literature. Born in Zhitomir, Ukraine, the son of a judge, he was never a member of a political party but always had the worldview of a populist. He was exiled to Siberia three times, the first as a student at the Moscow Forestry Institute. A fearless Publicist and prolific literary figure, he became known as a champion of the oppressed. During the Beili’s Case, Tsarist Russia’s version of the Dreyfus Affair, he served as the successful advocate for exoneration. The translator Stanley Harrison taught Russian at Cornell University during the Cold War. He is retired.

Lyric poetry as a temporal art-form makes pervasive use of narrative elements in organizing the progressive course of the poetic text. This observation justifies the application of the advanced methodology of narratology to the systematic analysis of lyric poems. After a concise presentation of this transgeneric approach to poetry, the study sets out to demonstrate its practical fruitfulness in detailed analyses of a large number of English (and some American) poems from the early modern period to the present. The narratological approach proves particularly suited to focus on the hitherto widely neglected dimension of sequentiality, the dynamic progression of the poetic utterance and its eventful turns, which largely constitute the raison d'être of the poem. To facilitate comparisons, the examples chosen share one special thematic complex, the traumatic experience of severe loss: the death of a beloved person, the imminence of one’s own death, the death of a revered fellow-poet and the loss of a fundamental stabilizing order. The function of the poems can be described as facing the traumatic experience in the poetic medium and employing various coping strategies. The poems thus possess a therapeutic impetus.

Winner of both the Arthur C. Clarke and Philip K. Dick Awards, Paul McAuley has emerged as one of the most thrilling new talents in science fiction, acclaimed for his richly imagined future worlds as well as for his engrossing stories and vivid, all-too- human characters. Now he gives us a gripping and unforgettable thriller of the day after tomorrow--when the world and the Web are one. London, in the aftermath of the Infowar. Surveillance cameras on every street corner, their tireless gaze linked to a cutting-edge artificial intelligence system. Censors zealously patrolling the Internet. A talented, young woman murdered before the cybernetic gaze of eager voyeurs. A policeman sidelined to a backwater computer-crimes unit seizes on the chance to contribute to this high-profile murder case, but soon finds himself entangled in a web of high-tech intrigue. Why was Sophie Booth's murder broadcast over the Internet? What is the link between her brutal killing and London's new surveillance system? Who is the self-styled Avenger, and why does he communicate only by e-mail?
