Ernst Bloch and His Contemporaries is a much needed concise yet comprehensive overview of Ernst Bloch's early and later thought. It fills an important gap in research on the history of German thought in the 20th century by reconstructing the contexts of Bloch's philosophy, while focusing on his contemporaries - Georg Lukács, Walter Benjamin, and Theodor Adorno. Ernst Bloch's influential ideas include his theory of utopian consciousness, his resolute inclination to merge aesthetics and politics, rehabilitation of hope, and atheistic conception of Christianity. Although Bloch's major early texts, Spirit of Utopia and Traces, have recently been translated into English, and there has been renewed interest in Bloch over the last 15 years, he is still relatively unknown compared to other left German-Jewish intellectuals. Ivan Boldyrev places Bloch's often enigmatic prose within contexts more familiar to English-speaking readers, and outlines the most important messages in Bloch's legacy still relevant today to European intellectual discourse, in particular aesthetics and philosophy of history.

As the sheltered princess of Sector One, Maricela's life is defined by duty: to her people and to her family. Her wealth and influence have allowed her to build a better world, but they come with a price---the responsibility to secure political stability with a practical marriage. Maricela cherishes the idea of marrying for love, but there's not much romance in the endless line of suitors interested only in prestige and power. And her handsome, brooding new bodyguard isn't helping the situation. Ivan is the perfect, deadly warrior, a man trained from childhood to be the ultimate protector to the Rios family. His focus on keeping her safe is intense--and a little intoxicating. When the threat of danger cracks his icy control, Maricela realizes she's not the only one fighting against temptation. Ivan knows that the blood on his hands makes him unworthy of the pure-hearted princess. But from the first kiss, their forbidden affair feels inevitable. He can give her a glimpse of life outside her gilded cage and a lover who wants the woman instead of the crown. The only thing he can never do is promise her forever. Because spurning her noble suitors to marry her bodyguard wouldn't just be a scandal. It could set off a political firestorm that would tear Sector One apart.

Kristian og Ivan møder hinanden i Sandholmlejren en decemberdag i 2015. Ivan er flygtet fra sit hjemland på grund af sin deltagelse i Majdanrevolutionen. Kristian befinder sig i lejren under dække af at være en iransk forfatter på flugt. Det bliver starten på et stærkt, men umage venskab. Ivan er Mixed Martial Arts-kæmper, finansanalytiker og revolutionær, og efter en lang og udmattende kamp mod det danske og grønlandske asylsystem, som udløser en diplomatisk krise imellem de to lande, bliver han den første asylmodtager i Grønland. Undervejs hører vi om Ivans opvækst i Kyiv i årene efter Sovjetunionens sammenbrud, frihedskampen på Majdan og flugten til Grønland, inden han til sidst drager hjem for at kæmpe imod den russiske invasion af Ukraine i 2022.Ivan er en hyldest til et menneskes kompromisløse kamp for frihed. Det er fortællingen om det ultimative offer midt i en af de vigtigste perioder i Europas nyere historie, men også historien om som ven at skrive sig ud af magtesløsheden og forstå drømmen om at kæmpe for noget, der er større end en selv.
