Walking the Shadows Century

Powieści i opowiadania

His past was a lie - his present a mystery. There is a drowned village in the South of France called St Juste, a village where secrets were buried in the Second World War; a village swiftly coming back into the light of day as a summer drought empties the reservoir that hides it. Tom Chapel comes to St Juste to discover why a local man, Marcel Coultard, has left his 28 million dollar fortune to his daughter Romilly, and why shortly after his bequest, Romilly was abducted and attacked, and left in a life-threatening coma. The local police are not forthcoming: there is a code of silence about Romilly and another dead girl, a silence which suggests a deeper and abiding mystery that Tom must uncover. His search takes him back to when this part of France was ruled by the Vichy government, at odds with the Resistance fighters who tried to smuggle Jews away to safety: Tom included. Yet not all the women made it: some were betrayed: but by who? Who amongst the French people he meets could be harbouring a cold-blooded killer who forty years later is prepared to kill and kill again to preserve his secret?

Another World Was Possible Duke University Press

Inne 1

Another World Was Possible modifies the slogan of the World Social Forum?an annual meeting formed as an alternative to the more elite World Economic Forum?"Another world is possible!" The change from present to past tense in the phrase acknowledges the importance of social movements from the past century that have worked for alternative visions of justice and freedom leading up to and continuing to influence current movements. This special issue of Radical History Review highlights the global and transnational dimensions of radical history that are less visible in other historical accounts whose horizons are national or local or which are oriented toward either "centers" or "peripheries." By emphasizing social movements and political contention, this issue offers a globalized radical history that enriches the wider field of world history. The collection argues that radical movements offer an intriguing counter-narrative to the more familiar history of imperialism and globalization in the twentieth century. One essay illuminates the radical anti-colonial and diasporic South Asian Ghadar movement, which worked to free India from British rule. Another delves into the global politics of South African radicalism between anti-fascism and apartheid in the 1940s and ?50s. A third essay explores the encounter between U.S. black activists and Cuban revolutionaries in the 1960s. In an interview, a Latina activist illustrates the transnational scope of contemporary social movements by describing her organizing work among immigrants in Atlanta, Georgia.Contributors.

Another Day of Life Vintage Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Ryszard Kapuscinski, one of the twentieth century's preeminent journalists, is renowned for his narratives of the Third World, which transcend reportage and enter the realm of literature.Another Day of Life is Kapuscinski's dramatic account of the three months he spent in Angola in 1975 at the beginning of its decades-long civil war. The capital, Luanda, is occupied only by those not fortunate enough to flee. When even the dogs abandoned by the Europeans leave, Kapuscinski decides to go to the front, where the wrong salutation could cost your life and where young soldiers -- from Cuba, Russia, South Africa, Portugal -- are fighting a war with global repercussions. With harrowing detail, Kapuscinski shows us the peculiar brutality of a country divided by its newfound freedom.
