Sommario/riassunto

Die Tagebücher, Band II, setzen nach dem Tod von Marina Cvetaeva fort, Georgij Sergeevič Ėfron kommt vorerst in das Kinderheim in Čistopol', kehrt aber bald nach Moskau zurück, wo er bei einer Tante väterlicherseits unterkommt. Er lebt vom Erbe seiner Mutter und beschreibt, was sich in Moskau abspielt, wo die Belagerung durch den Feind bevorstehen könnte, er muss damit rechnen, eingezogen zu werden und schließt sich einem Evakuierungstransport des Schriftstellerverbandes an, der Taškent, Uzbekische SSR, zum Zielort hat. Die Tagebücher von Georgij Sergeevič Ėfron sind nicht nur von erstaunlicher literarischer Qualität, sondern auch ein singuläres historisches Zeugnis, niemand sonst wagte es zur damaligen Zeit in der Sowjetunion, so frei und unbekümmert seine Überlegungen und Gedanken zu den gesellschaftlichen Gegebenheiten niederzuschreiben.

Sommario/riassunto

Gambling for Profit is unique among studies of gambling's twentieth-century growth thanks to Kerry G.E. Chambers's strong analytical framework - investigating not only the political aspects of legalization, but also the sociocultural factors that influence popular adoption. Chambers provides a useful chronological examination of the electronic gambling phenomenon, as well as comparative data on dates of introduction and revenues across twenty-three countries. Gambling for Profit provides a dynamic model to explore the legalization of gambling and stresses the inadequacy of seeking universal explanations for gambling's entrenchment within particular cultures."--Pub. desc.



"Over the past forty years, Western governments have increasingly liberalized and deregulated gambling, which is now used to deliver state revenues and commercial profit in many jurisdictions. Gambling for Profit is a cross-national history of the emergence of legal gambling, including lotteries, gaming machines, and casinos.
