        Auntie Malva's Christmas Shop

        by Dermanskyi Oleksandr

        The townspeople do not crave a single holiday as zealously as Christmas, when the city is noisy and carefree. Everything around is filled with joyful laughter, carols, cheerful voices. And also with fabulous incense from the charming van shop of Auntie Malva. But this year, things may be different, because the creepy Ms. Mizzle and the insidious Mr. Raven have already begun to implement their sinister plan. And only little Tyshko and his faithful dog Kuchugurka can stop them. But will they be able to return the magic book to the grandfather storyteller and save Christmas? The book was created by two brilliant Ukrainian masters of pen and brush Sashko Dermanskiy and Rostyslav Popskiy.

From that moment on, everything tasted bitter for him! Mr. Syrnyk didn’t know what to do. How will he manage to prepare the most delicious pastries now? Who will help the baker? Maybe Doctor Apchih has some healing medicine for bitterness? And maybe a small miracle will happen on the eve of the glorious holiday of Christmas…   From 3 to 8 years, 3074 words.

        Christmas in nineteenth-century England

        by Neil Armstrong

        Whether for reasons of family, food, shopping or religion, it's hard to imagine a British winter without Christmas, or to think of a more traditional national festival. But how and when did Christmas cards, pantomimes and advertising become part of that tradition? This book looks at how people in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries experienced Christmas and how today's priorities and rituals began and endured. It explores the origins of our deeply held notions around Christmas traditions and demonstrates how those ideas were in fact shaped by the fast-paced modernisation of English life. A fascinating account of the development of many things we now take for granted, the book touches on the history of childhood and the family, philanthropy and work, and the beginnings of consumerism that shaped the Christmas we know today.

        Kapitalismus

        Ein Gespräch über kritische Theorie

        by Nancy Fraser, Rahel Jaeggi, Jürgen Schröder

        Worum handelt es sich eigentlich bei dieser eigenartigen Gesellschaftsform, die wir als »Kapitalismus« bezeichnen? Nancy Fraser und Rahel Jaeggi stellen uns im so intensiven wie kontroversen Gespräch seine verschiedenen historischen Formen vor, die stets auf der Trennung von Ökonomie und Politik, Produktion und Reproduktion, menschlicher Gesellschaft und Natur beruhten. Dabei verwerfen sie althergebrachte Vorstellungen vom Wesen des Kapitalismus und wie dieser zu kritisieren sei. Stattdessen liefern sie präzise Diagnosen der gegenwärtigen Krisen und Aufstände und analysieren die Handlungsspielräume linker Politik.

        Umverteilung oder Anerkennung?

        Eine politisch-philosophische Kontroverse

        by Axel Honneth, Nancy Fraser, Burkhardt Wolf

        In diesem Band wird jene heute breitgeführte Diskussion fortgesetzt, die sich im Rahmen der politischen Philosophie mit dem Begriff der Anerkennung und seinem Verhältnis zur Gerechtigkeitstheorie beschäftigt. Nancy Fraser vertritt die These, daß eine politisch-philosophische Konzentration auf die Anerkennungsbegrifflichkeit die Folge hat, die nach wie vor brisanten Umverteilungsfragen in den Hintergrund treten zu lassen; demgegenüber möchte Axel Honneth zeigen, daß sich Fragen der Verteilungsgerechtigkeit normativ besser klären lassen, wenn sie im Rahmen eines hinreichend ausdifferenzierten Anerkennungskonzeptes reformuliert werden. Die durch diese Entgegensetzung gekennzeichnete Fragestellung wirft eine Reihe von politischen, gesellschaftstheoretischen und normativen Fragen auf, die in diesem Band kontrovers behandelt werden.

        The Coward

        by Liang Xiaosheng

        This novel depicts the image of a controversial and dubious “coward”. The refined, gentle and frail-looking Wang Wenqi is in fact an enduring and staunch person. During the mop-up operation of the Japanese invaders in the village, in order to save the life of a rash villager, he exposes his true identity. He thus finds himself trapped between mixing with the Japanese invaders against his will and incurring the hatred of the local villagers … He shows submission and even ingratiation towards the Japanese, never daring to defy them openly, but in his inner world he is full of hatred towards the Japanese. He eventually beheads the local Japanese chief officer. Such an action of fighting against tyranny with submissiveness and such a show of power behind apparent weakness bear witness to an honest and truly kind “coward” who struggles for a living between the cruelty of the enemy and the indignation of the nation.

        Carol Reed

        by Peter William Evans

        Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.
