In the same period, the cross-fertilization of mathematics and philosophy resulted in a new sort of 'mathematical philosophy', associated most notably (but in different ways) with Bertrand Russell, W. V. Quine, and Gödel himself, and which remains at the focus of Anglo-Saxon philosophical discussion. The present collection brings together in a convenient form the seminal articles in the philosophy of mathematics by these and other major thinkers. It is a substantially revised version of the edition first published in 1964 and includes a revised bibliography. The volume will be welcomed as a major work of reference at this level in the field. ![]() Yuri Tynianov, Ainsley Morse, Philip Redko, Daria Khitrova, "Permanent Evolution: Selected Essays on Literature, Theory and Film" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1618118412, 1644690624 | 378 pages | PDF | 2.5 MB Yuri Tynianov was a key figure of Russian Formalism, an intellectual movement in early 20th century Russia that also included Viktor Shklovsky and Roman Jakobson. Tynianov developed a groundbreaking conceptualization of literature as a system within―and in constant interaction with―other cultural and social systems. His essays on Russian literary classics, like Pushkin's Eugene Onegin and works by Dostoevsky and Gogol, as well as on the emerging art form of filmmaking, provide insight into the ways art and literature evolve and adapt new forms of expression. Although Tynianov was first a scholar of Russian literature, his ideas transcend the boundaries of any one genre or national tradition. Permanent Evolution gathers together for the first time Tynianov's seminal articles on literary theory and film, including several articles never before translated into English. ![]() Peach Blossom Paradise by Ge Fei, translated by Canaan Morse English | December 8, 2020 | ISBN: 1681374706 | EPUB | 392 pages | 1 MB An enthralling story of revolution, idealism, and a savage struggle for utopia by one of China's greatest living novelists. ![]() Kelly Rippon, "Parent Up: Inspire Your Child to Be Their Best Self" English | ISBN: 1728222354 | 2020 | EPUB | 224 pages | 1 MB Raise your kids through positive parenting, understanding, and leadership...and be the ultimate influencer in their lives. ![]() Jeff Sparrow, "No Way But This: in search of Paul Robeson" English | ISBN: 1925321851 | 2018 | 304 pages | AZW3 | 464 KB Film star.

Neorealism is often associated with adjectives stressing its peculiarities in representing the real, its lack of antecedents, and its legacy in terms of film style. While this is useful when confronting auteurs such as De Sica, Rossellini or Visconti, it becomes problematic when examining a widespread cultural practice that realistic modes deeply affected. This cultural production included filmmaking, literature, visual culture and photography, as well as media discourses. It was internally contradictory but fruitful inasmuch as its legacy influenced national culture for many decades to come. The volume spotlights post-war Italian film culture by locating a series of crossroads, i.e. topics barely examined when discussing neorealism: nation, memory and trauma, visual culture, stardom, and performance. The aim is to deconstruct neorealism as a monument and to open up its cultural history. ![]() Leon Trotsky, "My Life: An Attempt at an Autobiography" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0486456099 | 624 pages | EPUB | 1.1 MB The only Bolshevik leader to write his memoirs, Leon Trotsky published this remarkable book in 1930, the first year of a perilous, decade-long exile that ended with his assassination in Mexico. Expelled from the Communist party and deported from the Soviet Union, the former People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs recalled his lifelong struggle in the world of revolutionary politics. In addition to his firsthand accounts of the early intrigues within the Communist government, Trotsky also delivered chilling glimpses into the rise of the new Soviet bureaucracy and prescient warnings of the Stalinist regime's horrors. ![]() Jan Swafford, "Mozart: The Reign of Love, US Edition" English | ISBN: 0062433571 | 2020 | EPUB | 832 pages | 28 MB From the acclaimed composer and biographer Jan Swafford comes the definitive biography of one of the most lauded musical geniuses in history, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. ![]() Moon Salt Lake, Park City & the Wasatch Range: Local Spots, Getaway Ideas, Hiking & Skiing (Travel Guide) by Maya Silver English | December 8th, 2020 | ISBN: 1640498354 | 328 pages | EPUB | 28.04 MB Discover brooding mountains, dense forests, and the "greatest snow on earth," just beyond the city limits. |
