Описание:
The dacha is a sometimes beloved, sometimes scorned Russian dwelling. Alexander Pushkin summered in one; Joseph Stalin lived in one for the last twenty years of his life; and contemporary Russian families still escape the city to spend time in them. Stephen Lovell's generously illustrated book is the first social and cultural history of the dacha. Lovell traces the dwelling's origins as a villa for the court elite in the early eighteenth century through its nineteenth-century role as the emblem of a middle-class lifestyle, its place under communist rule, and its post-Soviet incarnation.
A fascinating work rich in detail, Summerfolk explores the ways in which Russia's turbulent past has shaped the function of the dacha and attitudes toward it. The book also demonstrates the crucial role that the dacha has played in the development of Russia's two most important cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, by providing residents with a refuge from the squalid and crowded metropolis. Like the suburbs in other nations, the dacha form of settlement served to alleviate social anxieties about urban growth.
Lovell shows that the dacha is defined less by its physical location"usually one or two hours" distance from a large city yet apart from the rural hinterland—than by the routines, values, and ideologies of its inhabitants. Drawing on sources as diverse as architectural pattern books, memoirs, paintings, fiction, and newspapers, he examines how dachniki ("summerfolk") have freed themselves from the workplace, cultivated domestic space, and created informal yet intense intellectual communities. He also reflects on the disdain that many Russians have felt toward the dacha, and their association of its lifestyle with physical idleness, private property, and unproductive use of the land.
Russian attitudes toward the dacha are, Lovell asserts, constantly evolving. The word "dacha" has evoked both delight in and hostility to leisure. It has implied both the rejection of agricultural labor and, more recently, a return to the soil. In Summerfolk, the dacha is a unique vantage point from which to observe the Russian social landscape and Russian life in the private sphere.

Описание: How do organizations learn, change and adapt? The chapters in this book contribute to the development of organizational learning theory in three ways. They delineate its scope, differentiating it from organizational ecology, choice and individual learning; demonstrate the explanatory power of a learning perspective; and illustrate the application of research tools useful for the study of learning.

Описание: As Stalin lies dying, this novel records his last thoughts, which he renders as a movie about the people he believes envenomed his life, namely, Lenin and certain women. (A film devotee, Stalin so loved movies that some scholars have even suggested that he governed the Soviet empire by cinematocracy, rule by cinema.) He has suffered a stroke but will linger for three days before dying. As in a film, he revisits scenes and old arguments with Lenin, and then endures a trial over his charge that women have poisoned his life. At the conclusion of the trial, Stalin's mind screen returns to V.I. Lenin. What follows then is Stalin's concluding mockery and denunciation of Lenin; Lenin's final assessment of Stalin; and the end of the novel: Stalin's dying words.

Описание: Dacha Tales: Life in the Russian Hinterland is the author's first book in the travel genre. Readers of Zalesova's novels often asked whether she drew on her own and her family's experience to write them. The answer was 'yes and no.' In Dacha Tales, she says directly that the stories retold are autobiographical, recounting her adventures recreating as a pensioner the joyful life in the countryside that she enjoyed in her childhood and adolescence. The personalities presented are real flesh and blood people: neighbors, friends, acquaintances who embody the folk wisdom and the life experience of contemporary Russia.

Описание:
Sarah Rosenbaum was a typical rambunctious, inquisitive seven year old Jewish girl living in Straubing, Germany. Although she had heard elders at the Synagogue talking about Jewish deportations, she was sure nothing like that would ever happen in their small community.
However her innocent beliefs were shattered when the dreaded S.S. soldiers arrived on her birthday in 1939, to remove all the Jews from Straubing.
Sarah and her family were stunned at the sheer violence of the soldiers, as friends were shot in the town square before everyone else were loaded onto filthy cattle cars.
The trip to the concentration camp was interrupted when a wheel burned off the axle of the car Sarah's family was riding in. After being unloaded, Sarah attempts to convince her family to run, but they would not. Fearing for her life, Sarah ran for the near by forest where a boy named Isaac took her under his protection. They join up with a group of partisan Jews led by a man named Ishmael, that lived in the massive forest. All went well for a while until the soldiers came into the forest searching for Jewish survivors. After a heroing escape, Sarah and Isaac make their way to safety. After a difficult journey, they once more join a small Jewish clan surviving in the deep forest. However once again the persistent S.S. soldiers track them down.
Although wounded, Sarah escapes to be found by a young German couple that nurse her back to health. Although the people are against the plan, Sarah convinces them to purchase her train fare so she can travel to Vichy, France, where Jews are still free. Arriving in Paris, Sarah finds out the last part of her trip is not possible. As she contemplates what to do, she meets up with Ishmael once again that is working with a French underground unit. Sarah lives with them for a while, until her curiosity brings the Gestapo into the picture. After a massive Gestapo raid, Sarah is captured and delivered to headquarters in Paris where she is relentlessly tortured, as the Gestapo and S.S seek out the names of the men leading the partisan group. As she does not cooperate, she is finally sent to Dachau.
The horrors of the camp overwhelm Sarah. Although her stuborn streak still persists, it causes her problems with the guards and prisoners. After meeting an old woman that begins to influence her, Sarah takes on the role of surrogate mother to several little children. She defends them and steals food to nourish them as best she can, but this causes bigger problems with the guards. Sarah is brutally tortured by a camp Sergeant but continues to survive although her will to live begins to slip away.
Luckily the camp is liberated while Sarah is still healthy enough to recover from her injuries and starvation. Being still a child, Sarah is taken to a resettlement camp where she is given options for her future. After making tough decisions, Sarah is sent to Paris where she will await transport to the United States. However fortune shines on Sarah as she once again meets Ishmael. Being a conman, he has assembled enough money to fund transport to Israel where a job awaits him. He brings Sarah with him, where she finds a Jewish family to lover her and take care of her.
After graduationg from high school, Sarah joins the Israeli Defense force. In a short time she finds out that Ishmael has been operating a specialized team in Mossad searching for former Nazi war criminals. Joining the team and risking her life, Sarah is involved in many high profile captures.
Sarah's dreams of having a family and living a normal life become a reality, although medcal problems creep into her life. After returning to Dachau one more time to confront the ghosts that haunt her, Sarah's soul finally finds the peace and redemption that has eluded her for so long.
