Hanna Pustuła-Lewicka Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

W tej aktualnej i przenikliwej książce Sergej Medwediew argumentuje, że wojna Rosji w Ukrainie nie była jedynie kaprysem Putina, lecz wynikiem dwóch dekad autorytarnej degradacji i postimperialnego ressentimentu, kulminacją reżimu Putina oraz całej imperialnej historii Rosji. Medwediew, opierając się na swojej nagradzanej książce "Powrót rosyjskiego Lewiatana", twierdzi, że to nie tylko Putin rozpoczął tę wojnę, ale sama Rosja, która w dużej mierze wyobrażała sobie i entuzjastycznie przyjęła ten konflikt, pragnąc na nowo przeżyć swoją militarną chwałę i kolonialną przeszłość.

These seven stories were the last that Carver wrote. Among them is one of his longest, 'Errand', in which he imagines the death of Chekhov, a writer Carver hugely admired and to whose work his own was often compared. This fine story suggests that the greatest of modern short-story writers may, in the year before his untimely death, have been flexing his muscles for a longer work.

The book that offers a cure for affluenza, 'No Logo' is one of those rare books that defines a generation, the most significant one since Douglas Coupland's 'Generation X'. By the time you're twenty-one, you'll have seen or heard a million advertisements. But you won't be happier for it. This is a book about that much-maligned, much-misunderstood generation coming up behind the slackers, who are being intelligent and active about the world in which they find themselves. It is a world in which all that is 'alternative' is sold, where any innovation or subversion is immediately adopted by un-radical, faceless corporations. But, gradually, tentatively, a new generation is beginning to fight consumerism with its own best weapons; and it is the first skirmishes in this war that this abrasively intelligent book documents brilliantly.
