‎Lydia Ginzburg's Prose: Reality in Search of Literature‎

‎8vo, 355 pages. The Russian writer Lydia Ginzburg (1902-90) is best known for her Notes from the Leningrad Blockade and for influential critical studies, such as On Psychological Prose, investigating the problem of literary character in French and Russian novels and memoirs. Yet she viewed her most vital work to be the extensive prose fragments, composed for the desk drawer, in which she analyzed herself and other members of the Russian intelligentsia through seven traumatic decades of Soviet history. In this book, the first full-length English-language study of the writer, Emily Van Buskirk presents Ginzburg as a figure of previously unrecognized innovation and importance in the literary landscape of the twentieth century. Based on a decade's work in Ginzburg's archives, the book discusses previously unknown manuscripts and uncovers a wealth of new information about the author's life, focusing on Ginzburg's quest for a new kind of writing adequate to her times. She writes of universal experiences--frustrated love, professional failures, remorse, aging--and explores the modern fragmentation of identity in the context of war, terror, and an oppressive state. Searching for a new concept of the self, and deeming the psychological novel (a beloved academic specialty) inadequate to express this concept, Ginzburg turned to fragmentary narratives that blur the lines between history, autobiography, and fiction. This full account of Ginzburg's writing career in many genres and emotional registers enables us not only to rethink the experience of Soviet intellectuals, but to arrive at a new understanding of writing and witnessing during a horrific century.‎

‎Crowns in a Changing World: British and European Monarchies 1901-36‎

‎At the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, almost every European nation was a monarchy, most linked by close family ties to her and Edward VII, the "uncle of Europe". Prior to the outbreak of World War I, the personal relationships of Edward, and of his successor and son, George V, flourished with the other royal families of Europe. The closeness of the European families was violently interrupted by the outbreak of war in 1914, and the armistice of 1918 brought three empires, namely Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia, crashing down. Some monarchies were strengthened, and others weakened beyond repair. In this well-researched study, John Van der Kiste has drawn upon previously unpublished material for the Royal Archives, Windsor, to show the realtionships between the crowned heads of Europe in the first part of the 20th century. His account sheds new light on foreign policy leading up to World War I. Book‎

‎The Political Thought of Joseph Stalin: A Study in Twentieth Century Revolutionary Patriotism‎

‎8vo, br, ed. 388pp. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the political thought of Joseph Stalin. Making full use of the documentation that has recently become available, including Stalin's private library with his handwritten margin notes, the book provides many insights on Stalin, and also on western and Russian Marxist intellectual traditions. Overall, the book argues that Stalin's political thought is not primarily indebted to the Russian autocratic tradition, but belongs to a tradition of revolutionary patriotism that stretches back through revolutionary Marxism to Jacobin thought in the French Revolution. It makes interesting comparisons between Stalin, Lenin, Bukharin and Trotsky, and explains a great deal about the mindset of those brought up in the Stalinist era, and about the era's many key problems, including the industrial revolution from above, socialist cultural policy, Soviet treatment of nationalities, pre-war and Cold War foreign policy, and the purges.‎

‎"Le livre s’ouvre à la mort du Grand Roi. Louis XIV, en disparaissant, laissait la politique extérieure de la France dans une passe difficile : nos alliées coutumières, la Suède, la Turquie, la Pologne, étaient lasses de combattre ou penchaient vers la décadence, tandis qu'une jeune puissance, la nation moscovite, grandissait auprès d'elles et s’accroissait à leurs dépens. Pour retrouver notre équilibre et faire contrepoids à l'Allemagne, fallait-il nous tourner résolument vers la Russie, sacrifier les vieilles amitiés aux ambitions de la nouvelle venue, ou bien resserrer, au contraire, les liens traditionnels, refouler la Russie du côté de l’Asie et « lui fermer l'accès du monde civilisé ? » La France, pendant tout le XVIIIe siècle, eut à choisir entre ces systèmes opposés. La Russie, disons-le, nous fit toutes les avances, Pierre le Grand le premier, et après lui sa fille Élisabeth, arrivée au pouvoir suprême grâce aux conseils, à la direction avisée de l’envoyé français, le marquis de la Chétardie, éprise d'ailleurs, sur la foi d'un portrait, de Louis le Bien-Aimé, et poussée vers l'alliance française par des raisons sentimentales. Louis XV, comme le prouve Vandal, ne comprit pas clairement l’importance de l’atout qui tombait ainsi dans son jeu. Il ne sut point prendre parti franchement, et chaque pas qu'il fit en avant fut suivi d’un pas en arrière. Sa politique, du début à la fin, n’est qu’une longue suite d'oscillations, rapprochemens passagers auxquels succèdent des refroidissements sans rupture..." (Marquis de Ségur, Revue des Deux Mondes)‎

‎Osnovnye voprosy ekonomiki i politiki imperializma (posle Vtoroi Mirovoi voiny)‎

‎Octavo in brown cloth ; 575 p. 23 cm. Errata slip at rear. In Russian. Uncommon. || "Eugen Samuilovich Varga (November 6, 1879, Budapest ñ October 7, 1964, Moscow) was a Marxist economist of Hungarian origin. He studied philosophy and economic geography at the University of Budapest. In 1906, he started writing in socialist and academic journals, mainly on economic subjects, but also on other topics. Before World War I he gained some fame by discussing with Otto Bauer about the origins of inflation in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In this period he belonged to the Marxist Centrists, of whom Karl Kautsky and Rudolf Hilferding were the most prominent spokesmen. He participated as minister of finance in the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919. After the overthrow of the Soviet Republic he fled to Vienna. In 1920 he went to the Soviet Union, where he started working for the Comintern, specializing in international economic problems and agrarian questions. In years 1922-1927 he was working at the department of trade in the Soviet embassy in Berlin. In the 1930s he became an economic adviser to Joseph Stalin. He survived the purges of the 1930s. During World War II he advised the Soviet Government in matters of post-war reparations. He attended the Potsdam Conference of 1945 as an expert. Like most of his compatriots living and working in Moscow, he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, but he also remained active in the Hungarian Communist Party. He authored the economic reports the congresses of the Comintern discussed between 1921 and 1935. A large number of his writings were studies of the international economic conjuncture, in which he made great effort to assess quantitative trends in output, investment and employment using official economic data from numerous countries. He also extensively studied German imperialism. In 1946 he published The Economic Transformation of Capitalism at the End of the Second World War, in which he argued that the capitalist system was more inherently stable than had been hitherto believed. This led to the closure of the Institute which he headed. (See: Paolo Spriano, Stalin and the European Communists. London: Verso, 1985). Finally, in 1949 he would make his self-criticism. Though he remained a leading academic economist, his prestige had diminished. In the second edition of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia he was qualified as a "bourgeois economist". After Stalin's death in 1953, he reappeared on the scene, but the new men in power in the Kremlin believing in the virtues of peaceful co-existence were not interested in Varga's predictions of the outbreak of a "necessary" economic crisis in the United States. In 1954 and 1959 he received the Lenin Orders, in 1954 he obtained a Stalin Prize and in 1963 a Lenin Prize. After his death, his selected works in three volumes were published in the Soviet Union, Hungary, and East Germany. Varga never returned to living in his native Hungary. Because he was very close to M·ty·s R·kosi, he was several times invited as an economic advisor to Hungary. In this period (1945-1950) he had specialized in economic planning, pricing and monetary reforms, i.e. reforms the Hungarian Communists now in power were carrying out. After the fall of R·kosi caused by the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the take-over by the K·d·r team, Varga's advisory work was not appreciated anymore." -- Wikipedia. || World politics -- 1945- Imperialism.
