This concise yet comprehensive textbook examines political, social, and cultural developments in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet period. It begins by identifying the social tensions and political inconsistencies that spurred radical change in Russia's government, from the turn of the century to the revolution of 1917. Peter Kenez presents this revolution as a crisis of authority that the creation of the Soviet Union resolved. The text traces the progress of the Soviet Union through the 1920s, the years of the New Economic Policies, and into the Stalinist order. It illustrates how post-Stalin Soviet leaders struggled to find ways to rule the country without using Stalin's methods - but also without openly repudiating the past - and to negotiate a peaceful but antipathetic coexistence with the capitalist West. This updated third edition includes substantial new material, discussing the challenges Russia currently faces in the era of Putin.

Themes within the stories include the disappointments of childhood, the frustrations of adolescence, and the importance of sexual awakening. Joyce was twenty-five years old when he wrote this collection of short stories, among which 'The Dead' is probably the most famous.Considered at the time as a literary experiment, Dubliners contains moments of joy, fear, grief, love and loss, which combine to form one of the most complete depictions of a city ever written, and the stories remain as refreshingly original and surprising in this century as they did in the last. With an afterword by Peter Harness. Designed to appeal to the booklover, Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound hardback gift editions of much loved classic titles.

★ 普普藝術大師Andy Warhol未公開作品首度問世★ 一條蛇的「名流上位記」，幽默諷刺60年代時尚圈★ 收錄22幅彩色插畫，重現經典普普藝術色彩魅力在成為藝術傳奇之前，Andy Warhol曾用一條蛇，說了一個關於名利與慾望的故事。本書首度公開這段塵封作品，以一條努力擠進上流社會的蛇為主角，幽默描繪1960年代紐約時尚圈的浮華與虛榮。牠遊走於名人之間，從裝點Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis的靴子，到點綴Coco Chanel的襯衫，語氣機智又帶點自嘲。畫面則展現Warhol標誌性的輕盈線條與鮮明配色，充滿普普藝術的趣味與張力。這不只是一則寓言，更是一面映照Warhol內心與時代風景的鏡子。In this visual complement to The Andy Warhol Diaries―a snake who might be Warhol himself chronicles his attempts to scale the social ladderThis is the never-before-published story of a snake trying to make it in the world of sixties high society, strongly suggested to be a stand-in for Warhol himself. The snake’s tongue-in-cheek observations as he slithers from adorning Jackie Kennedy’s boots to embellishing Coco Chanel’s shirt will delight the sophisticated fashion crowd. But the stars of the show are Warhol’s whimsical illustrations, revivified with a color scheme inspired by his iconic Pop Art.Before he achieved his dream of making it big in New York, Andy Warhol worked in adve

First written in response to a JACT survey of over 100 schools, this textbook has become a standard resource for students throughout the UK and for readers across the world who are looking for a clear and thorough introduction to the language of the ancient Greeks.

Jack might be the only kid in the world who's dreading summer. But he's got a good reason: summer is when his single mom takes a second job and leaves him at home to watch his autistic kid sister, Maddy. It's a lot of responsibility, and it's boring, too, because Maddy doesn't talk. Ever. But then, one day at the flea market, Maddy does talk—to tell Jack to trade their mom's car for a box of mysterious seeds. It's the best mistake Jack has ever made.What starts as a normal little garden out back behind the house quickly grows up into a wild, magical jungle with tiny onion babies running amok, huge, pink pumpkins that bite, and, on one moonlit night that changes everything…a dragon.

本書收錄拉岡晚期圍繞 James Joyce 所展開的重要思想成果，透過「結」、「洞」與「實在界」等概念，重新思考主體如何得以支撐自身而不致崩解。拉岡不將 Joyce 視為單純的文學案例，而是將其寫作視為一種獨特的「症狀」，一種以語言與形式取代傳統精神結構的創造性發明。書中討論精神分析如何從無意識走向實在界，也直面「瘋狂」與創作之間的緊張關係。文本艱深卻充滿啟發性，是理解拉岡後期理論、精神分析與現代文學交會的重要著作。"Ten times, an elderly grey-haired man gets up on the stage. Ten times puffing and sighing. Ten times slowly tracing out strange multi-coloured arabesques that interweave, curling with the meanders of his speech, by turns fluid and uneasy. A whole crowd looks on, transfixed by this enigma-made-man, absorbing the ipse dixit and anticipating some illumination that is taking its time to appear.Non lucet. It’s shady in here, and the Théodores go hunting for their matches. Still, they say, cuicumque in sua arte perito credendum est, whosoever is expert in his art is to be lent credence.

Beneath the original Venetian glass and rosewood case at La Specola in Florence lies Clemente Susini’s Anatomical Venus (c. 1790), a perfect object whose luxuriously bizarre existence challenges belief. It – or, better, she – was conceived of as a means to teach human anatomy without need for constant dissection, which was messy, ethically fraught and subject to quick decay.This life-sized wax woman is adorned with glass eyes and human hair and can be dismembered into dozens of parts revealing, at the final remove, a beatific foetus curled in her womb. Sister models soon appeared throughout Europe, where they not only instructed the specialist students, but also delighted the general public. Deftly crafted dissectable female wax models and slashed beauties of the world’s anatomy museums and fairgrounds of the 18th and 19th centuries take centre stage in this disquieting volume.Since their creation in late 18th-century Florence, these wax women have seduced, intrigued and amazed. Today,
