The Complete Tales of Nikolai Gogol, Volume 2
by Nikolai GogolVolume 2 of The Complete Tales includes Gogol's Mirgorod stories—among them that masterpiece of grotesque comedy, "The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich," the wonderfully satiric "Old World Landowners," and the Cossak epic "Taras Bulba." Here also is "The Nose," Gogol's final effort in the realm of the fantastic, as well as "The Coach," "The Portrait" (in its final version), and the most influential of his Petersburg stories, "The Overcoat."
The Complete Tales of Nikolai Gogol, Volume 1
by Nikolai GogolNikolai Gogol was an artist who, like Rabelais, Cervantes, Swift, and Sterne, "knew how to walk upside down in our valley of sorrows so as to make it to a merry place." This two-volume edition at last brings all of Gogol's fiction (except his novel Dead Souls) together in paperback. Volume 1 includes Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka, the early Ukrainian folktales that first brought Gogol fame, as well as "Nevsky Prospekt" and "Diary of a Madman." "It is good to have a complete collection of Gogol's tales in paperback. . . . Professor Kent has thoroughly revised Mrs. Garnett's conscientious and skillful translation, eliminating the Victorianisms of her style, correcting mistakes and pruderies of diction, and making the whole translation sound much more contemporary and alive. But he has avoided the whimsicality and 'curliness' in which some recent translators indulged, and he has not changed or suppressed anything material. He has also supplied helpful notes which are often the first annotation in English, and he has written an introduction which steers the correct middle course between making Gogol an irresponsible artist of the grotesque and proving him a documentary historian of backward Russia."—René Wellek, Yale University

The Collapse: The Accidental Opening Of The Berlin Wall
by Mary Elise SarotteOn the night of November 9, 1989, massive crowds surged toward the Berlin Wall, drawn by an announcement that caught the world by surprise: East Germans could now move freely to the West. The Wall,infamous symbol of divided Cold War Europe,seemed to be falling. But the opening of the gates that night was not planned by the East German ruling regime,nor was it the result of a bargain between either Ronald Reagan or George H.W. Bush and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.It was an accident.In The Collapse , Prize-winning historian Mary Elise Sarotte reveals how a perfect storm of decisions made by daring underground revolutionaries, disgruntled Stasi officers, and dictatorial party bosses sparked an unexpected series of events culminating in the chaotic fall of the Wall. With a novelist's eye for character and detail, she brings to vivid life a story that sweeps across Budapest, Prague, Dresden, and Leipzig and up to the armed checkpoints in Berlin.We meet the revolutionaries Roland Jahn, Aram Radomski, and Siggi Schefke, risking it all to smuggle the truth across the Iron Curtain the hapless Politburo member Günter Schabowski, mistakenly suggesting that the Wall is open to a press conference full of foreign journalists, including NBC's Tom Brokaw and Stasi officer Harald Jäger, holding the fort at the crucial border crossing that night. Soon, Brokaw starts broadcasting live from Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, where the crowds are exulting in the euphoria of newfound freedom,and the dictators are plotting to restore control.Drawing on new archival sources and dozens of interviews, The Collapse offers the definitive account of the night that brought down the Berlin Wall.

Монгол: Isländernes Lovbog I Fristatens Tid. Text I, Volume 1...
by Uuganaa RamsayСүү нь асгаравч хүү нь үгүй болсон эхийнМонгол угсаа гарал, өв соёлоо өмөөрсөн өчил.Монгол 1. Төв Азийн эртний нэгэн угсаатан: Монгол үндэстэнЭнэхүү ном нь Их Британид амьдардаг Ууганаа хэмээх монгол бүсгүйн тухай өгүүлэх намтар зохиол (дурдатгал) юм. Түүний төрж өссөн орчин нь монгол гэр, нүүдэлчин ахуй. Эгэл жирийн монгол гэр бүлд өсч хүмүүжсэн охины дурдатгалаар социалист хэв загвараас ардчилалд шилжих нийгмийн шилжилт, өөрчлөлтийн тухай улс орны нэгэн цаг үеийн түүх ч бас өгүүлэгдэнэ Ууганаагийн нялх үр Буузанхүүг мэндлэхэд эмч нар түүнийг Дауны хам шинжтэйг оношилно. Энэхүү онош нь нэг талаас Дауны хам шинжийг нэршил болон нөгөө талаас монголчуудыг гутаан доромжлох хэллэгийг давхар агуулж байсан нь зохиогчийн гайхашралыг төрүүлнэ. Үрээ алдаж хагацал эмгэнэлтэй учирсан монгол эмэгтэй эх орон, эх хэл, соёл түүхээ өмгөөлөн байж өөрийн амьдралын түүхийг илэн далангүй хүүрнэжээ. Зохиогч бурхан болсон хүүгийнхээ дурсгалыг мөнхжүүлэхийн сацуу “мунхаг, мангар, усан тэнэгрэл” гэсэн нэр томьёоллоор толбологдсон Монгол угсаатны нэр төрийг үнэн зөвөөр тодорхойлон хамгаалах үйлсэд бие сэтгэлээ зориулан яваа монгол эмэгтэйн эгэл жирийн түүхийг өгүүлэхийг зорьсон юм.
