"Absurdihuumor. Kange irooniatommis. Tautoloogia. Terake nostlagiat. Ulevoimendatud kaasaegne kantseliit on labipoimitud rahvaparimuslike vemmalvarsside ja luiskekrutskitega. Keelekasutuses on teadlikult sonu, mis on hakanud argielust teenimatult kaibelt kaduma voi ununema. Ometi on sellised vaarisade varamust parit keelendid enamgi kui meeldejaavad. Teisalt pakub teos omaltpoolt uusi sonu ja valjendeid. Kirjaridadel lippab leidlik eesti keel oma huplike silpide ja pohjatute ivade segadikuga. Igal juhul peaks ullitis virgutama teisipidi motlemist ja rikastama eestikeelset huumorimaailma. Tukati voib tekst uheaegselt olla armas ja rove, pentsik ja muhe. Samas hoidub see uhemotteliselt roppustest, naidates et nabaaluseid, puksinoobitaguseid ja istmikuesiseid suunanaitamisi saab teha palju kruptilisemalt. Ohosonaga – kalambuur. Isemoodi.

Shortlisted for International Affairs Book of the Year in the Paddy Power Political Book Awards 2014 Angela Merkel was already unique when she became German chancellor: the first female leader of Europe’s biggest economy, the first from former communist East Germany and the first born after World War II. Since 2010, the debt crisis that spread from Greece to the euro region and the world economy has propelled her to center-stage, making Merkel the dominant politician in the struggle to preserve Europe’s economic model and its single currency. Yet the Protestant pastor’s daughter is often viewed as enigmatic and hard-to-predict, a misreading that took hold as she resisted global pressure for grand gestures to counter the crisis. Having turned the fall of the Berlin Wall to her advantage, Merkel is trying to get history on her side again after reaching the fundamental decision to save the euro, the crowning achievement of post-war European unity. Merkel has brought Europe to a crossroads. Germany’s economic might gives her unprecedented power to set the direction for the European Union’s 500 million people. What’s at stake is whether she will persuade them to follow the German lead. Angela Merkel: A Chancellorship Forged in Crisis is the definitive new biography of the world’s most powerful woman. Delving into Merkel’s past, the authors explain the motives behind her drive to remake Europe for the age of globalization, her economic role models and the experiences under communism that color her decisions. For the first time in English, Merkel is fully placed in her European context. Through exclusive interviews with leading policy makers and Merkel confidants, the book reveals the behind-the-scenes drama of the crisis that came to dominate her chancellorship, her prickly relationship with the U.S. and admiration for Eastern Europe. Written by two long-standing Merkel watchers, the book documents how her decisions and vision – both works in progress – are shaping a pivotal moment in European history.

Meie Aja Kangelane, mu armulised harrad, on toepoolest portree, kuid mitte uhest inimesest: see portree on koostatud kogu meie sugupolve pahedest, nii nagu nad on. Teie utlete mulle, et inimene ei voi olla nii halb, aga mina utlen teile, et kui te olete uskunud igasugu traagiliste ja romantiliste kurjategijate olemasolu, miks te siis ei usu Petsorini toelikkust? Kui te olete imetlenud hoopis hirmsamaid ja inetumaid valjamoeldisi, miks siis see iseloom ei leia isegi valjamoeldisena teie silmis armu? Kas selleparast, et temas on rohkem tode, kui teie seda sooviksite?Raamatu peategelane Petsorin on noor ja nagus ohvitser, kellel oleks elus justkui koik olemas. Ometi tunneb kuuniline ja kirglik mees pidevalt igavust ja seletamatut igatsust millegi kaugelasuva, suure, ulla ja kattesaamatu jarele. Seda puuab ta leevendada rohkete naisvallutustega, aga moistab peagi, et ei ole voimeline kellessegi jaagitult armuma. Otsides teravaid elamusi, ta riskib oma eluga duellidel ja Vene ruletis, aga saab aru, et ka see ei tekita temas mingeid emotsioone voi elujanu. Seiklushimuline hing ei luba tal uheski kohas paikseks jaada ega uheski suhtes toelist armastust leida. Nii hukutab ta igavusest enda umber suutuid inimesi, ise ometi rahu leidmata. See on raamat uhe noore mehe eneseotsingutest, keda keegi ei moista. Kuid kas Lermontovi aja kangelane erinebki palju meie aja inimesest? Maailmakirjanduse kuldvarasse kuuluv „Meie aja kangelane“ on Eesti koolides soovitusliku kirjanduse nimekirjas.
