Sommario/riassunto

This book traces an explosive and dynamic pattern--generational interaction and conflict--in the last two centuries of Russian history. Reform, revolutions, terrorism and dictatorship, and their cultural artifacts they produced (E.g. Pushkin's poems, Dostoevsky's novels, and Eisenstein's films) are explored through this timeless prism.

Sommario/riassunto

This book looks at the banking and finance industries in Italy and how these industries contribute to the Italian economy. Could these industries be the solution to the contradiction in which the country's economy has been caught for several years: it is better governed than it has been in the past, but is not growing as much as it could. The book looks at how this solution might be achieved and what factors will govern the contribution of the banking and finance industries.

Examining the controversies that have accompanied the publication of novels representing the Holocaust, this compelling book explores such literature to analyze their violently mixed receptions and what this says about the ethics and practice of millennial Holocaust literature. The novels examined, including some for the first time, are: * Time's Arrow by Martin Amis* The White Hotel by D.M. Thomas* The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski* Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally* Sophie's Choice by William Styro

Sommario/riassunto

The author suggests that a major weakness of established usages is that they fail to take serious account of the local, cultural context of ethnic identity. Drawing on case studies, he shows the everyday social construction of national identity.
