A brilliant collection of essays from one of the most highly acclaimed young writers in the US Against Everything is a thought-provoking study and essential guide to the vicissitudes of everyday life under twenty-first-century capitalism. Mark Greif is one of the most exciting writers of his generation. In this invigorating collection, he challenges us to rethink the ordinary world and take life seriously – in short, to stay honest in dishonest times. In a series of coruscating set pieces he asks why we put ourselves through the pains of exercise, what our concerns about diet or sex does for our fundamental worth, what political identity the hipster might possess, and what happens to us when we listen to Radiohead or hip-hop. Counter-intuitive and revelatory in his insights, Greif revels in the contradictions arising between our desires and the excuses we make to console ourselves. His work demands we have the courage to be ‘against everything’, to change our vantage on everyday life, find it wanting and demand something better. Получить ссылку |

Who set Hitler against Stalin?
Автор: Николай Стариков
Год издания:
This book will tell you who stirred Hitler into his suicidal decision to attack Stalin. It will tell you who were the real godfathers of the worst catastrophe in the history of Russia that went off on June 22, 1941. You will learn who gave money to Hitler and his party, helping the Nazi to power. Revealed in this book is the real reason behind the Nazi regime – aggression against the USSR to correct a previous blunder of Western intelligence that had led to Bolshevism in Russia. Instead of quietly disappearing with their loot, Lenin and his crew remained in the country and pieced it together into a global superpower, refusing to give it over to the West. Abundant evidence cited in this book helps trace the whole logic of events starting from September 1919 up to June 1941. The reader will emerge enlightened about who were the true preachers and masterminds of World War II, and who must share responsibility with the Nazi for their hideous crimes.

Gerd Kanter. Everything is possible!
Автор: Gerd Kanter
Год издания:
Olumpiavoitja Gerd Kanteri raamat inglise keeles. Minu kodukandis Vigalas oeldakse: ule madala aia oskab astuda igauks. Mulle pole madalad aiad kunagi sobinud. Mul on alati olnud nii, et kui on eesmark, siis ikka suur. Olen kogu aeg tahtnud kaugemale ja kaugemale, rohkem ja rohkem. Voib-olla on see korvaltvaatajatele isegi naljakas tundunud, aga ma pole sellest eriti hoolinud. Gerd Kanter
