Book Description
"Polly!" Mother called, walking into Polina's room early the following morning. Polina had fallen asleep on her bedroom floor next to her science project. "Wake up, Polina," Mother said as she gently tugged on Polina's shoulder. "Polina, you fell asleep on the floor." "Hmmm...I'm getting up, Mama." Polina, like most school girls, would always like to do things in the last minute. One night, she stayed up too late making her science project, which was due in the morning. The next day, her Mama left for work after waking her up, but Polina who was very tired, stayed on the floor and slept again. When she woke up because of the noise of other children going to school, she realized that she was going to be late. She ran after her school bus, but she didn't catch it. She felt really upset and was teary eyed. On her way to school, she faced a lot of problems. When she arrived at her classroom, an unexpected thing happened. She would never forget that day and biggest lesson that she has learned.

Living Pictures
Author: Polina Barskova
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681376601
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
A poignant collection of short pieces about the author's hometown, St. Petersburg, Russia, and the siege of Leningrad that combines memoir, history, and fiction. Living Pictures refers to the parlor game of tableaux vivants, in which people dress up in costume to bring scenes from history back to life. It’s a game about survival, in a sense, and what it means to be a survivor is the question that Polina Barskova explores in the scintillating literary amalgam of Living Pictures. Barskova, one of the most admired and controversial figures in a new generation of Russian writers, first made her name as a poet; she is also known as a scholar of the catastrophic siege of Leningrad in World War II. In Living Pictures, Barskova writes with caustic humor and wild invention about traumas past and present, historical and autobiographical, exploring how we cope with experiences that defy comprehension. She writes about her relationships with her adoptive father and her birth father; about sex, wanted and unwanted; about the death of a lover; about Turner and Picasso; and, in the final piece, she mines the historical record in a chamber drama about two lovers sheltering in the Hermitage Museum during the siege of Leningrad who slowly, operatically, hopelessly, stage their own deaths. Living Pictures introduces a startlingly daring and original new voice from world literature.

The Battle of the Sexes Russian Style
Author: Nadezhda Ptushkina
Publisher: Glagoslav Publications
ISBN: 1782670831
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Ptushkina's plays reflect her keen interest in constructing multidimensional characters that reflect the myriad ways people are affected by today's turbulent world. Often writing strong female roles, she does not shy away from exploring the sometimes tragic implications that lie behind her comical, almost farcical scenes. Ptushkina questions the nature of love, and explores the boundaries between the spiritual and the base, the constructive and the destructive, that lie within every human being. Her writing questions the relationship between ideals and reality, and between truth and deception. In this new translation, western readers have a chance to discover why Ptushkina's work holds such a wide appeal in the Russian theatre. “The universal themes of love, the need for human closeness, and multifaceted complex female characters make Nadezhda Ptushkina’s plays desirable material for any professional theatre,” says Slava Yastremski in the preface to this edition. Current edition contains such famous Ptushkina’s plays as I Pay Up Front, Somebody Else’s Candlelight, Momma’s Dying Again, My Goldfish and Rachel’s Flute. Translated from the Russian by Slava Yastremsky and Michael M. Naydan.

Saturn's Daughters
Author: Jim Pinnells

ISBN: 1780883439
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Sometimes terrorism works..... In the 1880s terrorism, as we understand it today, became a reality when a group of Russian idealists, the People’s Will, decided to sacrifice everything for a single goal: a fair and free society. Their plan, driven by Sonya Perovskaya, was to assassinate the Tsar. Once he was gone, they believed, some form of democracy must follow. And the plan succeeded – despite legions of secret police protecting the Tsar’s every movement, Sonya and her little band hounded him to death. But in every other respect they failed. Repression – not freedom – followed the assassination. In destroying the Tsar they destroyed themselves, their lives, their integrity, their very ideals. Saturn’s Daughters is the story of this failure. The birth of a movement, the death of dictator and the self-destruction of the women and men who were first to call themselves terrorists. They began as idealists, they ended as psychopaths. Sometimes terrorism works. Mostly it leads to disaster.
