Black Wind, White Snow
A powerful strain of Russian nationalism now lies at the heart of the Kremlin's political thinking: "Eurasianism". But how did this dangerous ideology, once a fringe theory, come to dominate Moscow's elite?
Promoted most notably in recent years by Alexander Dugin, this theory has become the driving force behind the invasion of Ukraine and the perplexing manoeuvrings of Putin's Russia. In this fascinating investigation, Charles Clover, an award-winning journalist, traces Eurasianism's origins in the writings of White Russian exiles in 1920s Europe, through Siberia's Gulag archipelago in the 1950s, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, and up to its steady infiltration of the governing elite.
Based on extensive research and dozens of interviews with Putin's close advisers, this eye-opening account is essential reading to understand Russia's past century - and the dangers of our present political moment.
Konečná stanica Osvienčim
Hans myslel na Friedel, stratil jej rad z dohľadu. Pomyslel si na matku, brata a na všetkých tých, ktorých videl odchádzať do Osvienčimu. Myslel na štúdium, na svoju prax a na svoje ideály. Znova si vybavil Friedel a ich plány do budúcnosti. Takto premýšľa niekto, kto je presvedčený, že zomrie.
Atmosféra bola dusná, zmrákalo sa a za oknami sa črtali ženské postavy ako siluety v starom rozprávkovom divadle. Bol sparný večer babieho leta a vo vzduchu sa vznášalo tajomstvo. Ako v príbehu z Tisíc a jednej noci stáli mladíci pri tomto veľkom háreme, plní túžby po svojich milovaných. A tu sa ozýval jej hlas tak, ako pieseň z ďalekého minaretu, nesúca sa tichou nocou Orientu. Ako sen plný melanchólie a túžby. Tichý ako šepot milencov v ústraní a melancholický ako spev imáma, ktorý sklonený k zemi spieva k Prorokovi.
Veda znamená robiť výskum a z neho vyvodzovať závery. V Nemecku je záver stanovený už vopred. Musí byť v súlade s dogmami štátu. Pokiaľ ide o čisto technické objavy, napríklad pre vojnový priemysel alebo medicínu, výsledky výskumu sa ochotne prijímajú, no len čo sa nemecký vedec pustí do oblasti histórie alebo fi lozofi e, vopred vie, k akému záveru bude musieť jeho výskum viesť. A ak by bol natoľko hlúpy, že by dospel k výsledku, ktorý je v rozpore s národno-socialistickou náukou, potom by to pre neho znamenalo rýchly koniec.

North and South
North and South is a novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, first published in book form in 1855 originally appeared as a twenty-two-part weekly serial from September 1854 through January 1855 in the magazine Household Words, edited by Charles Dickens. The title indicates a major theme of the book: the contrast between the way of life in the industrial north of England and the wealthier south, although it was only under pressure from her publishers that Gaskell changed the title from its original, Margaret Hale.The book is a social novel that tries to show the industrial North and its conflicts in the mid-19th century as seen by an outsider, a socially sensitive lady from the South. The heroine of the story, Margaret Hale, is the daughter of a Nonconformist minister who moves to the fictional industrial town of Milton after leaving the Church of England. The town is modeled after Manchester, where Gaskell lived as the wife of a Unitarian minister. Gaskell herself worked among the poor and knew at first hand the misery of the industrial areas.The change of lifestyle shocks Margaret, who sympathizes deeply with the poverty of the workers and comes into conflict with John Thornton, the owner of a local mill, also a friend of her father. After an encounter with a group of strikers, in which Margaret attempts to protect Thornton from the violence, he proposes to her, telling her that he is in love with her; she rejects his proposal of marriage, mainly because she sees it as if it were out of obligation for what she had done. Later, he sees her with her fugitive brother, whom he mistakes for another suitor, and this creates further unresolved conflict. Margaret, once she believes she has lost his affection, begins to see him in another light, and eventually they are reunited.

Despite difficulties in finding the garden, the reader is closely introduced to the construction processes of the monastery as well as the geological and biological processes of the surrounding area, making this an unforgettable meditation on nature, life, history, and being.
