"Olga Sedakova is a writer of global significance. . .the publishing of this collection is a welcome stage in the reception of her exceptional genius in the West." So writes Rowan Williams in his foreword to this translation of Old Songs. Born in Moscow in 1949, Olga Sedakova emerged as a leading writer of the late Soviet period. Since 2014, she has been an outspoken critic of Russia's war on Ukraine. Her writing bears witness to the values of generosity, attention, and non-violence. The poems in Old Songs construct a world shaped by these values, forming a lyric sequence infused with folk wisdom and anchored in moral courage. It is a world brought into being by song, the kind passed down over cradles and on walks through the garden. These poems find their way into your memory and accompany you on your way. Sedakova is not only one of Russia's most revered contemporary poets but also a scholar and essayist. Often compared to figures such as Czeslaw Milosz, she has, with this volume (according to Rowan Williams), succeeded in "conveying the sense of a forgotten directness of perception and relation-not a lost simplicity, exactly, but a larger and more human world. . . ."

Harlen Haughn (rhymes with Vaughn) is charged with driving a herd of cattle to a sale barn across the border some forty miles away. This eighteen year old is spunky enough to deal with the man who waves a pistol at him, accuses him of cattle rustling, calls him a young boy and refuses to honor the sale contract. All of that was before Harlen drew his pistol.BASED ON REAL LIFE EVENTS
Although former archeology student Rebecca O'Conner-Smith is somewhat content, she secretly longs for a more fascinating life. Her dead-end office job bores her, and her husband Jason, while sweet, is more interested in settling down in Toronto than going on adventures with her. So, when an opportunity to be a part of an archeological dig in Kyriat Adar in Israel arises, she takes it. Despite the current hostilities of the country, Rebecca is passionate about the culture, history, language and even the music of Israel. Getting the chance to use her skills and knowledge obtained while studying in a place she loves is a dream come true.Spending three weeks digging in the treasure trove of the Israeli desert makes her feel fulfilled like never before. However, the dig inspires her to consider furthering her archeological degree, despite the financial toll it will have on her marriage--and finds herself attracted to another volunteer who intellectually challenges her in ways her husband does not.Torn between a secure, comfortable life with a man she loves, or a challenging, exciting academic career with no guarantees about her future, Rebecca must choose what kind of life she wants to live for herself.
The only book in English for readers of all ages by Nobel Prize-winning novelist Olga Tokarczuk is a beautifully illustrated meditation on the fullness of life. Bologna Ragazzi Award, Special Mention 2018Prix de l'Union Internationale pour les Livres de Jeunesse (IBBY)The White Raven (IJB Munich)L dź Design Festival Award "Once upon a time there was a man who worked very hard and very quickly, and who had left his soul far behind him long ago. In fact his life was all right without his soul--he slept, ate, worked, drove a car and even played tennis. But sometimes he felt as if the world around him were flat, as if he were moving across a smooth page in a math book that was covered in evenly spaced squares... " --from The Lost Soul The Lost Soul is a deeply moving reflection on our capacity to live in peace with ourselves, to remain patient, attentive to the world. It is a story that beautifully weaves together the voice of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish novelist Olga Tokarczuk and the finely detailed pen-and-ink drawings of illustrator Joanna Concejo, who together create a parallel narrative universe full of secrets, evocative of another time. Here a man has forgotten what makes his heart feel full. He moves to a house away from all that is familiar to him to wait for his soul to return. The Lost Soul is a sublime album, a rare delicacy that will delight readers young and old. "You must find a place of your own, sit there quietly and wait for your soul."
A gorgeously illustrated picture book for adults--with two gatefold pages inside--by Nobelist Olga Tokarczuk and illustrator Joanna Concejo, creators of The Lost Soul A devastating putdown of our self-obsessed, superficial social media culture. Mr. Distinctive has a memorable, attractive face. He only has to walk down the street, and everyone turns to smile at him. Once he starred in a TV commercial and was praised and congratulated for having a face that sold the product well. Mr. Distinctive is very pleased with himself and loves to take selfies with his cellphone. He posts countless images of himself that are shared all over the internet. One day Mr. Distinctive looks in the mirror and sees that his features have begun to fade, his face has changed into a blur. With every new photo he posts, his distinctiveness dwindles. Determined to regain his flawlessly beautiful face and the adoration it brought him, Mr. Distinctive seeks out an extreme solution. But are the lengths he goes in order to restore his sense of being unique and exceptional worth it? In their new story, the creators of The Lost Soul--Nobel prize in literature winner Olga Tokarczuk and illustrator Joanna Concejo--show us a world of obsession with personal appearance and self-promotion, where happiness is an imperative, and the cult of youth rules.
The iconic masks of the Italian commedia dell’arte—Harlequin, Pierrot, Colombina, Pulcinella, and others—have been vagabonding the roads of Russian cultural history for more than three centuries. This book explores how these masks, and the artistic principles of the commedia dell’arte that they embody, have profoundly affected the Russian artistic imagination, providing a source of inspiration for leading Russian artists as diverse as nineteenth-century writer Nikolai Gogol, modernist theater director Evgenii Vakhtangov, Vladimir Nabokov, and the empress of Russian popular culture Alla Pugacheva. The author presents a new perspective on this topic, showing how the commedia dell’arte has nourished a rich cultural tradition in Russia.
