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. ...

Sita Ram`s Painted Views Of India: Lord Hastings`s Journey From
Calcutta To The Punjab, 1814 15

Lord Hastings`s journal of his travels from Calcutta to the Punjab in 1814-1815 records the events and views of this journey accompanied by 200 large watercolour illustrations by Sita Ram. This book includes an edited version of the journal charting his passage through the India of the early nineteenth century. Though Sita Ram`s picturesque paintings were a sharp departure from the accurate `Company` views of Indian monuments, they nonetheless revealed his eye for architectural detail. Taking the readers along as part of Lord Hastings`s party, J. P. Losty brings alive the seventeen - month long expedition in a flotilla of 220 boats from Barrackpore past Patna, Benares, Allahabad and Cawnpore, and then overland to Lucknow, Delhi and the Punjab, through Sita Ram`s
never-before-published paintings of Colonial India.
