Two of the iconic novels of the twentieth century, Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita (1928-40) and Thomas Mann's Joseph and His Brothers (1933-43), each engage with religious themes in the face of militant, sometimes violent, cultural opposition: Soviet communism and Nazi anti-Semitism.
Two of the iconic novels of the twentieth century, Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita (1928-40) and Thomas Mann's Joseph and His Brothers (1933-43), each engage with religious themes in the face of militant, sometimes violent, cultural opposition: Soviet communism and Nazi anti-Semitism. They have divine characters, Jesus and Yahweh, and draw upon modern developments in biblical study, emphasising scripture as texts subject to literary criticism. Yet, as Voronina shows, Mann and Bulgakov employ a deliberately contradictory narrative strategy, de-mystifying and de-sacralising their divine protagonists but leaving the existence of the transcendent open. In this way, doubt becomes both a dramatisation of faith and a strategy for approaching the divine.Olga G. Voronina received her PhD in Comparative Literature from University College London. She has taught at the Universities of Leeds, Nottingham, St Andrews, the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London and University College Oxford.

A compelling story of how ordinary Ukrainians saved their nation. With Russian shells raining on Kyiv and tanks closing in, American forces prepared to evacuate Ukraine’s leader. Just three years earlier, his apparent main qualification had been playing a president on TV. But Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly retorted, ‘I need ammunition, not a ride.’ Ukrainian forces won the battle for Kyiv, ensuring their country’s independence even as a longer war began for the southeast. You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine’s national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country’s first ‘independence generation’. Interweaving social and political background with compelling episodes from Zelensky’s life and career, this is the story of Ukraine told through the journey of one man who has come to symbolise his country.

pokkari
In this updated edition, Olga Bogdashina provides a theoretical foundation for understanding communication and language impairments specific to autism. She explores the effects of different perceptual and cognitive styles on the communication and language development of autistic children. She also stresses the importance of identifying each individual's nonverbal language - which can be visual, tactile, kinaesthetic, auditory, olfactory or gustatory - to establish verbal communication. Reflecting recent research and changes in terminology, the book explains why some approaches may work for some autistic children but not for others, and the 'What They Say' sections allow the reader to see through the eyes of autistic individuals and understand their language differences first-hand. 'What We Can Do to Help' sections throughout the book give practical recommendations for helping autistic individuals use their natural mechanisms to learn and develop social and communicative skills. The final chapters are devoted to assessment and intervention issues with recommendations for selecting appropriate methods and techniques to enhance communication, based on the specific mode of communication a person uses.

This book offers the first comprehensive study of Czech funerary practices to be published in English. It provides an in-depth account of the historical development of funeral traditions and customs in the Czech Lands from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. Czech funerary practice is today characterised by a very high cremation rate, the predominance of secular funerals and the increasing popularity of cremation with no funeral ceremony. Combining investigation of both long-term developments and recent changes, this book places these contemporary practices in their wider historical context, highlighting the complicated religious, political and cultural factors that have influenced funeral traditions over time. Nešporová draws attention to the extent to which the turbulent political background of the 20th century shaped funerary culture, focusing particularly on the cremation movement and the increase in popularity of civil funerals during the Communist era. The book explores the contemporary legal framework of Czech funerary practices, the typical funeral, burial sites and commemorative practices and recent developments in Czech funerary practice. The book will appeal to a multi-disciplinary audience, including those working in the fields of cultural anthropology, history, sociology and architecture.

Comprender que no eres un bicho raro por ello, y que efectivamente no es f cil llevar a cabo un contacto cero o alejarse del narcisista es necesario para no sentirse "de menos". No solo te cuesta a ti. Nos pasa a todas.En la separaci n del narcisista no solo influyen factores emocionales, si no que la qu mica juega un gran papel como vas a poder ver. Adem s, vas a poder ver en el libro que el abuso que has vivido te modifica el cerebro. Neurocient ficos han descubierto que el abuso narcisista a largo plazo puede llevar a un da o cerebral f sico real.

Lo que lleva a efectos devastadores .Con todo esto c mo no va a ser normal que incluso apartada del narcisista la vida te cueste.Es importante ver que no eres responsable del comportamiento del narcisista y que t has reaccionado de determinada manera para sobrevivir, no porque tengas ning n problema intr nseco.

Self-help book written by a survivor of narcissistic abuse.I have experienced the abuse of a narcissistic couple. I know what it feels like when the one you believed it was your great love leaves you broken and lost in this life. I've been empty, without direction. But I've been able not only to break the relationship, but to see the great value I carry inside me. This book revolves around you, the victim and not the narcissist or the abuser.It is important that you see that you have not been responsible for his behavior and that if you have been "trapped" into the relationship, it has not been because of his charm, but for the chemistry that his behavior has produced in you.You need to understand why you haven't been able to split up from him before, or why it is so difficult for you to do so. And if you have broken up, you need to know that the chemistry is responsible for sometimes "craving" to go back to him. You need to know that you are not a weirdo for it. It happens to us all. Don't diminish yourself for those feelings.In the break up from the narcissist emotional factors intervene. But the chemistry plays a great role as you will see in this book. In addition, the abuse you have experienced modifies your brain. Neuroscientists have discovered that long-term narcissistic abuse can lead to real physical brain damage. When we suffer constant emotional abuse, victims, we experience a reduction of the hippocampus, amygdala inflammation and inhibition of the prefrontal cortex. Which leads to devastating effects.It is important to see that you are not responsible for the behavior of the narcissist and that you have reacted in a certain way to survive, not because you have any intrinsic problem. It is necessary that you see and understand it in order to see your true value, that is independent of your achievements and is above of what others believe or say. It is very hard to see the true face of these demons, to digest that the person you have loved and to whom you have given your life to, does not exist. Opening one's eyes to the truth is very hard, but it is harder to live in an abusive relationship with mr. evil. In the book I give you the guidelines to carry out the zero contact, to get away from the toxic relationship. And if you can not do it because it is not your moment, I tell you how to apply the grey stone method that consists, basically, of refraining from any emotional reaction .But not only does the book show you how to get away from the narcissist, but it allows you to get rid of the limiting beliefs that the narcissist instilled in you.When we carry traumas and false beliefs that are not our True Self, that unconsciously keep us trapped, instead of taking care of ourselves, we continue to be the object of abuse and lack of esteem. But as you begin to be the source of your own life, you learn to live with healthy emotions, your true self comes to light. Your strength and your power come out, and the great woman inside you begins to live.Give yourself the opportunity now to take out that brave woman that lives inside and that has not been let out. Discover the great woman you are.I wish you all the best.
This book focuses on the generation of the sixties and seventies in Kharkiv, Soviet Ukraine, a milieu of writers who lived through the Thaw and the processes of de-Stalinization and re-Stalinization. Special attention is paid to KGB operations against what came to be known as the dissident milieu, and the interaction of Ukrainians, Jews, and Russians in the movement, their persona friendships, formal and informal interactions, and the ways they dealt with repression and arrests. This study demonstrates that the KGB unintentionally facilitated the transnational and intercultural links among the Kharkiv multi-ethnic community of writers and their mutual enrichment. Post-Khrushchev Kharkiv is analyzed as a political space and a place of state violence aimed at combating Ukrainian nationalism and Zionism, two major targets in the 1960s–1970s. Despite their various cultural and social backgrounds, the Kharkiv literati might be identified as a distinct bohemian group possessing shared aesthetic and political values that emerged as the result of de-Stalinization under Khrushchev. Archival documents, diaries, and memoirs suggest that the 1960s–1970s was a period of intense KGB operations, “active measures” designed to disrupt a community of intellectuals and to fragment friendships, bonds, and support among Ukrainians, Russians, and Jews along ethnic lines domestically and abroad.
