Almut M. Amberg, "The Embodiment of Evil in Children's Literature. How Villainy and Adulthood are Interconnected in Children's Stories " English | ISBN: 3961468028 | 2021 | 80 pages | PDF | 1 MB Villains and antagonists are often the memorable and central characters of a children's story and characters like Captain Hook or the White Witch of Narnia remain more present in our memory than the Description or protagonists. This book offers an overview of the portrayal of villainy in children's literature and follows the research question of whether there is an interrelation of being adult and being a villain. Based on an exemplary analysis of five works of classical and contemporary children's literature, tendencies and conventions in the portrayal of villains and the embodiment of evil are explored. This study includes a definition of children's literature, discusses villainy as a literary and narrative category and draws on concepts like e.g. ageism, childism and C.G. Jung's shadow. It also discusses the questions of how and why villainy in general is attractive to readers and what its specific function is in children's narratives.  The Disappearance of Literature: Blanchot, Agamben, and the Writers of the No By Aaron Hillyer 2015 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 1501306804 | PDF | 10 MB In this book Aaron Hillyer considers the implications of Maurice Blanchot's strange formulation: "Literature is heading to its essence, which is its disappearance." This quest leads Hillyer to stage a dialogue between the works of Blanchot and Giorgio Agamben. Despite being primary points of reference for literary theory, no significant critical work has examined their "literary" writings together. The Disappearance of Literature initiates this new trajectory through readings of Blanchot's The Unavowable Community and Agamben's The Open, two short books that harbor their most enigmatic writings. A series of related concepts-study, community, mysticism, and friendship-emerges from this pairing, and, Hillyer argues, forms the basis of a new vein of contemporary literature found in the novels and hybrid fictions of Enrique Vila-Matas, Anne Carson, and Cesar Aira.  Helen Azar, "The Diary of Olga Romanov: Royal Witness to the Russian Revolution" English | 2015 | ISBN: 1594162298, 1594161771 | EPUB | pages: 212 | 6.8 mb The First English Translation of the Wartime Diaries of the Eldest Daughter of Nicholas II, the Last Tsar of Russia, with Additional Documents of the PeriodIn August 1914, Russia entered World War I, and with it, the imperial family of Tsar Nicholas II was thrust into a conflict they would not survive. His eldest child, Olga Nikolaevna, great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria, had begun a diary in 1905 when she was ten years old and kept writing her thoughts and impressions of day-to-day life as a grand duchess until abruptly ending her entries when her father abdicated his throne in March 1917. Held at the State Archives of the Russian Federation in Moscow, Olga's diaries during the wartime period have never been translated into English until this volume. At the outset of the war, Olga and her sister Tatiana worked as nurses in a military hospital along with their mother, Tsarina Alexandra. Olga's younger sisters, Maria and Anastasia, visited the infirmaries to help raise the morale of the wounded and sick soldiers. The strain was indeed great, as Olga records her impressions of tending to the officers who had been injured and maimed in the fighting on the Russian front. Concerns about her sickly brother, Aleksei, abound, as well those for her father, who is seen attempting to manage the ongoing war. Gregori Rasputin appears in entries, too, in an affectionate manner as one would expect of a family friend. While the diaries reflect the interests of a young woman, her tone grows increasingly serious as the Russian army suffers setbacks, Rasputin is ultimately murdered, and a popular movement against her family begins to grow. At the point Olga ends her writing in 1917, the author continues the story by translating letters and impressions from family intimates, such as Anna Vyrubova, as well as the diary kept by Nicholas II himself. Finally, once the imperial family has been put under house arrest by the revolutionaries, we follow events through observations by Alexander Kerensky, head of the initial Provisional Government, these too in English translation for the first time. Olga would offer no further personal writings, as she and the rest of her family were crowded into the basement of a house in the Urals and shot to death in July 1918.The Diary of Olga Romanov: Royal Witness to the Russian Revolution, translated and introduced by scientist and librarian Helen Azar, and supplemented with additional primary source material, is a remarkable document of a young woman who did not choose to be part of a royal family and never exploited her own position, but lost her life simply because of what her family represented.
