Olga the Snowplow lives in Rattletown. She's not like the other snowplows. Her old driver rebuilt her so she could be controlled remotely. Olga understands what humans are saying, but no one knows. She often feels lonely because she's so different. Olga befriends Laura, an old lady who lives right outside Rattletown. But one day, Laura disappears. Where could she be? Did something happen to her? Can Olga the Snowplow find her? A story of friendship and courage for children aged 6-9 and adults who are young at heart.
The sweeping, epic story of Olga de Lebedeff immerses the reader in a rarely seen multicultural world in the late Imperial period, when many Russian intellectuals were more integrated into European society. Olga's activities as scholar and activist shed light on the intersection between the Russian sphere of influence rooted in Orthodoxy and the Islamic world. Goddaughter to Tsar Alexander II, Olga was born in St Petersburg in 1852. She married the Mayor of Kazan, a Chamberlain of the Tsar, and for many years studied languages in Kazan with Jadid scholars, in Constantinople with high-ranking Ottomans and in Cairo with a sheikh at the al Azhar university. With access to both men and women intellectuals in Europe as well as in those cities, she reflected on cultural differences and commonality, promoting cultural exchange and progressive education. As well as being a scholar of Turkic and Arabic languages, Olga was an advocate for women. Her inspiration led her to found the Society of Oriental Studies in St Petersburg in 1900.Divided into two main sections, Book One describes Olga's family background in St Petersburg, her early marriage and family life followed by her life's work. Book Two contains first-time translations into English of several of her works including The Emancipation of Muslim Women from the French, and her account of the life and works of the famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, entitled The Poet Pushkin originally written in Ottoman Turkish.This account preserves the memory and legacy of a tenacious and engaging personality, whose curiosity and interest in other cultures opened many previously closed doors.

Sylvia Brinkmeier alias "Olga Ordentlich" packt mit ihrem Buch das Thema Ordnung bei der Wurzel. Bei ihr erfahren Sie, dass Ordnung vor allem eine Frage der Haltung ist und nur wenig mit Flei , Disziplin und angeborenem Ordnungssinn zu tun hat. Lesen Sie ausf hrlich ber die Haltung zu sich selbst, zu Mitmenschen, zur eigenen Zeit, zu Pflichten, Dingen und Besitz. Wer diese Themen genau betrachtet, wird bald verstehen, warum Putzen, Aufr umen und Verstauen nicht die alleinige L sung unserer Ordnungsprobleme sein k nnen. Trotzdem geh rt Praxis nat rlich mit dazu. Im Praxisteil gibt es daf r Pl ne, Pl ne, Pl ne: Ein f nfw chiger Startplan hilft dabei, sich berhaupt erstmal Haushaltsroutinen anzueignen. Wer damit kein Problem (mehr) hat, kann mit dem Wochenplan weiterarbeiten. F r jeden Tage gibt es eine spezifische Aufgabe, damit man am Ende der Woche einmal die ganze Wohnung flott gemacht hat. Und f r die Spezialisten unter uns gibt es im Jahresplan 365 Aufgaben, die sicherstellen, dass jeder Raum und jeder Winkel, jeder Gegenstand im Haus mindestens einmal im Jahr die Zuwendung erf hrt, die er braucht und verdient. Sylvia Brinkmeier wurde 1956 in Wuppertal geboren und lebt seit ihrer Kindheit in Duisburg. Sie ist gelernte Krankenschwester, Lehrerin f r Pflegeberufe und Pflegeberaterin. Das Thema Ordnung war ihr schon immer sehr nah, sowohl beruflich als auch privat. Zu ihrem Lieblingsthema wurde es, als sie feststellte, dass Ordnung nichts mit Disziplin und Flei zu tun hat. F r Sylvia Brinkmeier ist Ordnung eine Frage der eigenen Haltung zu sich, den Menschen und den Dingen. Mit ihrem Blog "Olga Ordentlich - Haushalt im Griff" zeigt sie seit 2011, dass ein harmonischer und gut organisierter Haushalt f r alle machbar ist, wie viele ihrer Leserinnen und Leser begeistert best tigen. Und jetzt liegt endlich das Buch vor, das viele Dinge wesentlich ausf hrlicher und genauer beschreibt, als das in einem Blog m glich ist. Mit diesem Buch als Ihrem t glichen Begleiter und Rund-ums-Jahr-Plan liegen Sie richtig, weil sie Tag f r Tag mit Motivation und Pl nen versorgt werden.
In march 1936, Brazil's Fascist government seized twenty-eight-year-old Olga Benario and her lover, the legendary Communist guerrilla leader Luis Carlos Prestes. After six months in prison, and heavily pregnant, Olga, a German Jew, is classified 'extremely dangerous' and exported to her native Germany. Olga, Revolutionary and Martyr tells the extraordinary tale of this heroic life. From Olga's communist activist roots in Germany as a young woman to Moscow where she flees after persecution from the German Police. It traces her astounding political acumen as she is put in charge of escorting Luis Carlos Prestes to Brazil to lead the Communist Revolution of 1935, and follows her discovery of both political and personal harmony with Prestes when on the journey the two fall in love. When the revolution fails and Olga is deported she is quickly imprisoned by the Gestapo who miraculously allow her to keep her daughter, Anita, with her until she is 14 months old, when she is rescued by her grandmother, now desperate for the release of both mother and child. Olga, however, remains imprisoned, and is transferred from the Gestapo's women's prison to Ravensbruck concentration camp, where, in February 1942 she is executed in the gas chambers at Bernburg. Award-winning Brazilian journalist Fernando Morais creates a stunning historical portrait of this great revolutionary genius and her short, turbulent, and passionate life.
Olga - A Daughter's Tale, written in the form of diaries and letters, is based on the true story of a kind, naive and gentle girl who was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. One of eleven children from a close-knit coloured Catholic family, Olga came to London in 1939 to live with a malevolent alcoholic aunt intending to study dance and stay for only six months. But world events, personal tragedy and malicious intent all combined to prevent her from returning home to her beloved family in Kingston, Jamaica. It is a story of the cruelty, revenge and jealousy inflicted on an innocent young woman and how she demonstrated moral courage, dignity, resilience and love. It is the story of a remarkable woman who made a choice which resulted in her losing contact with her beloved family in Jamaica until nearly half a century later, when her past finally caught up with her.
‘The only way not to be a heroine, a martyr, a victim, is to make myself an accomplice, a collaborator.’Communist. Jew. Revolutionary. Lover. Mother. Olga Benario’s story is a searing tale of survival as alongside her fellow prisoners she struggles to hold onto her disintegrating sense of self. Based on real events of the 1930s-40s focusing on Benario’s time in Brazil and Germany, this gripping play was the first work by one of Europe’s foremost contemporary dramatists, Dea Loher, and was originally performed in 1992.After their highly successful run in Luxembourg City, Speaking in Tongues bring the English-language world premiere to London.

This first ever monograph in English on Olga Jevric offers a unique opportunity to discover the work of a remarkable Serbian artist whose long and distinguished career established her as the most significant modernist sculptor from the former Yugoslavia. Despite gaining widespread acclaim from her contemporaries both in Europe and the USA, economic, social and geopolitical upheavals meant that her work has been little seen outside Serbia in the past four decades. As a witness to the Second World War and its aftermath, Jevric sought to give voice to the spiritual roots, cultural foundation and social conditions of the war-torn environment in which her work developed. Through her materials – primarily a mixture of cement, iron oxide, rods and nails – she created distinctive forms that communicate the relationship between matter and void; weight and weightlessness; containment and release. Though many of her works are modest in scale, they have an immensely powerful presence. This collection of texts and images provides a range of perspectives on, and a thorough contextual overview of, Jevric’s work from some of the UK’s most influential sculptors, alongside prominent art historians from the former Yugoslavia. It was produced in celebration of Jevric's exhibitions at London art platforms PEER (28 June–14 September 2019) and Handel Street Projects (28 June–13 December 2019), along with the acquisition of nine of her sculptures by Tate Modern.

In light of a large selection of previously unpublished personal archives - documents, photographs and films - this title explores Picasso's 'Olga period' by contextualising his work during this period and by questioning the contrast between the subject and its portrayal. A favourite model since their meeting in 1917, Olga Khokhlova, a Russian ballet dancer who married Picasso in July 1918, is the most represented female figure in the artist's work of the late 1910s and 1920s. Picasso renders the ambiguity of his first wife, her beauty, her Ingres-like contours, and her deep, pensive, melancholy, in many of his most famous portraits. The exhibition that this book accompanies brings to light materials conserved by Olga's family until recently, including memorabilia of her life as a dancer, photos of Picasso, their son Paul, and their daily life together, and their travels to Barcelona, Naples, and Monte Carlo.

Olga Lengyel, Auschwitz Survivor

This book arises out of a long series of conversations about one of the most intriguing, but still under-researched, aspects of testimony: how the remembering and telling of an individual Holocaust survivor changes through time, through shifting contexts and with increasing age. It comes at this issue from an interdisciplinary perspective, not with the intention to develop a synthetic method but to explore how different perspectives overlap, conflict with or complement each other. It sets its definition of 'testimony statement' very broadly, treating published texts, video testimonies, and fragmentary statements and publications as of equal interest, without a hierarchy of value. The book focuses on Olga Lengyel (1908-2001). She wrote a memoir about her imprisonment in Auschwitz, first published in French in 1946, which was translated into English with modifications in 1947, and, half a century later, in 1998, she gave video testimony for the USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive. Her testimony is well known enough to have gained a public profile and to have attracted some scholarly attention, but is not 'canonical'. Her work is internationally known, having been translated and received in a number of languages, and having been an inspiration for William Styron’s bestseller Sophie’s Choice. This book provides a condensed critical resource on Lengyel’s testimonies, addressing matters of historical veracity, of trauma, of gender, of memory, and of genre in the transmission and reception of Holocaust testimonies over time and across cultures.
