This is a landmark in American literature, presented in its complete & unexpurgated version. Dreiser`s unsparing story of a country girl`s rise to riches as the mistress of a wealthy man marked the beginning of the naturalist movement in America. Both its subject matter & Dreiser`s objective, nonmoralizing approach made it highly controversial, & only a heavily edited version could be published in 1900. In this restored version, the truly revolutionary nature of Sister Carrie is made fully evident. ...

Thirty-year-old Piotr Alekseevich Marakulin lives a contented, if humdrum life as a financial clerk in a Petersburg trading company. He is jolted out of his daily routine when, quite unexpectedly, he is accused of embezzlement & loses his job. This change of status brings him into contact with a number of women-the titular ”sisters of the cross”-whose sufferings will lead him to question the ultimate meaning of the universe. The first English translation of this remarkable 1910 novel by Alexei Remizov, one of the most influential members of the Russian Symbolist movement, Sisters of the Cross is a masterpiece of early modernist fiction. In the tradition of Gogol`s Petersburg Tales & Dostoyevsky`s Crime & Punishment, it deploys densely packed psychological prose & fluctuating narrative perspective to tell the story of a ”poor clerk” who rebels against the suffering & humiliation afflicting both his own life & the lives of the remarkable women whom he encounters in the tenement building where he lives in Petersburg. The novel reaches its haunting climax at the beginning of the Whitsuntide festival, when Marakulin thinks he glimpses the coming of salvation both for himself & for the ”fallen” actress Verochka, the unacknowledged love of his life, in one of the most powerfully drawn scenes in Symbolist literature. Remizov is best known as a writer of short stories & fairy tales, but this early novel, masterfully translated by Roger Keys & Brian Murphy, is perhaps his most significant work of sustained artistic prose. ...

Jay Winter's powerful 1998 study of the 'collective remembrance' of the Great War offers a major reassessment of one of the critical episodes in the cultural history of the twentieth century. Dr Winter looks anew at the culture of commemoration & the ways in which communities endeavoured to find collective solace after 1918. Taking issue with the prevailing 'modernist' interpretation of the European reaction to the appalling events of 1914-18, Dr Winter instead argues that what characterised that reaction was, rather, the attempt to interpret the Great War within traditional frames of reference. Tensions arose inevitably. Sites of Memory, Sites of Mourning is a profound & moving book of seminal importance for the attempt to understand the course of European history during the first half of the twentieth century. ...
