Edited by Yevgeny Pasternak, Yelena Pasternak, and Konstantin M. Azadovsky The summer of 1926 was a time of trouble and uncertainty for each of the three poets whose correspondence is collected in this moving volume. Marina Tsvetayeva was living in exile in France and struggling to get by. Boris Pasternak was in Moscow, trying to come to terms with the new Bolshevik regime. Rainer Maria Rilke, in Switzerland, was dying. Though hardly known to each other, they began to correspond, exchanging a series of searching letters in which every aspect of life and work is discussed with extraordinary intensity and passion. Letters: Summer 1926 takes the reader into the hearts and minds of three of the twentieth century's greatest poets at a moment of maximum emotional and creative pressure.
Autumn in Peking takes place in an imaginary desert called Exopotamie, where a train station and a railway line are under construction. Homes are destroyed to lay the lines, which turn out to lead nowhere. In part a satire on the reconstruction of postwar Paris, Vian’s novel also conjures a darker version of Alice in Wonderland.
First published in French in 1948, To Hell with the Ugly saw Boris Vian's noir-novelist pseudonym Vernon Sullivan take on Vian's own burlesque pop sensibilities. An erotic crime novel with science fiction tendencies, Sullivan's third outing is described by its translator as "a pornographic Hardy Boys novel set on the Island of Dr. Moreau to a be-bop soundtrack." To Hell with the Ugly recounts the tale of Rock Bailey, a dashing 19-year-old lad determined to hold onto his virginity amidst the postwar jazz-club nightlife of Los Angeles-a resolution challenged by the machinations of the demented Doctor Markus Schutz, who has decided to breed beautiful human beings and found a colony in which ugliness is a genetic crime. Vian's brutal depictions of American race relations in his previous Sullivan novels here give way to a frenetic fantasy of eugenics and uniformity-a parodic anticipation of the cosmetic surgery that was to rule Hollywood over the coming decades, as well as a comic-book reflection on Nazi Germany's visions of a master race. With the novel's breathless domino tumble of fist fights, car chases, kidnappings, and murders, Vian here set out to out-Hollywood Hollywood, serving up a narrative cocktail of Raymond Chandler, H.G.Wells, Brave New World and Barbarella.

Protecting corporate assets from security breaches is a compelling concern an organization's productivity, brand reputation and consumer confidence can all depend on it. Implementing proper information security measures is also the first step towards minimizing production down time due to system failure - one of the primary goals of every organization.During the author's extensive experience as a system and security administrator for numerous large and medium-size companies, it was not unusual for operation and production management to prohibit the installation of any third-party applications - "unsupported" freeware and open-source applications for hardening security, especially on production machines. This was partially due to strict policies from vendors providing operating system support. It was also because of company security policies prohibiting downloading from the Internet and installing any applications that have not been thoroughly tested, regardless of how well these applications can secure the production box. Therefore, in many cases you will not be able to use any third-party tools.This book was written to help system and security administrators set up a secure UNIX operating system environment by using the native capabilities of the "pure" operating system. As you read this book, you will learn that with your knowledge of the operating system and information security, it is possible to do a great deal to create a "hard" operating environment by using only the tools and utilities that come bundled with UNIX.This book not only discusses security measures, but actually shows you how particular measures can be implemented. Use it when you need a practical solution for a security problem.
Dolmens are mysterious stone structures scattered around previously inaccessible parts of Russia. Built by an ancient megalithic culture, these structures have been both revered and looted for centuries. Very little is known about these stone creations, though one thing is for sure: their power is undeniable. Join Boris Loza as he travels to his ancestral homeland, to uncover and explore dolmens first-hand. Throughout this journey, you will discover the often hidden, and surprisingly forbidden perspective about the mysterious dolmens: their ancient powers of fertility, healing and spiritual connection. Discover the long-lost technology which was likely used to build these structures, raising megatonne slabs of stone into perfect placements, aligned with the stars. Go on a brave journey, filled with the ups and downs of travelling across this remote Russian terrain, as you join Boris in unraveling the politically incorrect theories and forbidden explanations, usually overlooked by mainstream academics. This is something which you will never find in standard textbooks

Boris Sokoloff, a doctor in Russia during the tumultuous years of the Russian Revolution and a survivor of the infamous Butyrki prison, has a remarkable story to tell. During his fascinating life he encountered nearly every major political and cultural figure in Russia between 1917 and 1920 and was an eyewitness of or participant in most of the major events of the period--the October Revolution, the Constituent Assembly, an assassination attempt on Lenin's life, and the final collapse of the Northern Front. The White Nights is his story.While The White Nights will engage the historically minded, it is as much a work of literature as it is history. Sokoloff consciously imitates a generation of great Russian authors, such as Anton Chekhov, the master of the Russian short story. Sokoloff gives his readers not a single narrative, but fifteen short stories, some of them murder mysteries, others romances or political thrillers. Each of these dramas has its own vivid cast of characters, its own play-like set, and its own heroes and villains. And all are depicted upon a vast stage: the anarchic, disintegrating Russian Empire.The White Nights reads as a work of literary impressionism, with Sokoloff's colorful, pointillist strokes filling in the canvas of the Russian revolutionary era. Most dramatically, Sokoloff challenges his readers with the moral problems inherent in a failed assassination attempt on Lenin in which he participated in the spring of 1918. In each instance, those in positions to do something failed. As the West finds its democratic values increasingly contested at home and abroad, it is a timely lesson to remember what happens when those who believe in freedom fail to act.IAN ONA JOHNSON is associate director of the Brady-Johnson Program in Grand Strategy and lecturer in the Department of History at Yale University.

This book presents specific methods for the physical rehabilitation, mental health restoration, and academic remediation of post-institutionalized international adoptees. The focus of the book is on the neurological, psychological, and educational consequences of complex childhood trauma in the context of a fundamental change in the social situation of development of former orphanage residents. A discussion of after-adoption traumatic experiences includes a critique of certain “conventional” approaches to the treatment of mental health issues and different disabilities in international adoptees. Using his 30-year background in research and clinical practice, the author expertly describes and analyses a range of methodologies in order to provide an integrated and practical system of “scaffolding” and “compensation” for the successful rehabilitation and remediation of children with ongoing traumatic experiences. This is essential reading for researchers and practicing clinicians concerned with childhood trauma, remedial education, and issues of international adoption.
