Red Star Over Africa
Author: Anthony Harrigan
Publisher: Cape Town, Nasionale Boekhandel
ISBN:
Category : Africa
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Rabidly polemic and racist pamphlet written by a US journalist, who in the spirit of the Cold War attempts to depict all liberation movements as a Communist plot for world domination. From this standpoint, he defends apartheid and the Portuguese colonial regime as "outpost of Western civilisation on the African continent". He concludes: "The choice is clear-cut: either the West predominates in Africa or there will be a triumph of naked barbarism over Western civilization."

Black Sea
Author: Neal Ascherson
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 009952046X
Category : Black Sea
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
THE BLACK SEA is at once a homage to an ocean and its shores and an amazingly readable meditation on Eurasian history from the earliest times to the present. It evokes the culture, history and politics of the volatile region which surrounds the Black Sea. Ascherson recalls the world of Herodotus and Aeschylus; Ovid's place of exile on what is now the coast of Romania; the decline and fall of Byzantium; the mysterious fastness of the Chrisian Goths; the Tatar Khanates; the growth of Russian power across the grasslands, and the centuries of war between Ottoman and Russian Empires around the Black Sea; and in our own century the terrors of Stalinism and its fascist enemy, striving for mastery of these endlessly colourful and complex shores. This is a story of Greeks, Scythians, Samatians, Huns, Goths, Turks, Russian and Poles. This is the sea where Europe ended. It is the place where 'barbarism' was born.

Memories
Author: Teffi
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 159017951X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
WINNER OF THE 2018 READ RUSSIA PRIZE AND THE PUSHKIN HOUSE BEST BOOK IN TRANSLATION IN 2017 Considered Teffi’s single greatest work, Memories: From Moscow to the Black Sea is a deeply personal account of the author’s last months in Russia and Ukraine, suffused with her acute awareness of the political currents churning around her, many of which have now resurfaced. In 1918, in the immediate aftermath of the Russian Revolution, Teffi, whose stories and journalism had made her a celebrity in Moscow, was invited to read from her work in Ukraine. She accepted the invitation eagerly, though she had every intention of returning home. As it happened, her trip ended four years later in Paris, where she would spend the rest of her life in exile. None of this was foreseeable when she arrived in German-occupied Kiev to discover a hotbed of artistic energy and experimentation. When Kiev fell several months later to Ukrainian nationalists, Teffi fled south to Odessa, then on to the port of Novorossiysk, from which she embarked at last for Constantinople. Danger and death threaten throughout Memories, even as the book displays the brilliant style, keen eye, comic gift, and deep feeling that have made Teffi one of the most beloved of twentieth-century Russian writers.
