Georges Bortoli - Śmierć Stalina (1989).jpg

Przedmowa

Od 5 marca 1953 roku wiele rzeczy uległo zmianie, gdy umarł starzec w podmiej-
skiej okolicy Moskwy. W tydzień po złożeniu go do grobu świat odczuł że nie jest
ten sam.
Czy był, czy nie wytworem epoki, stał się sam epoką; Stalin i po Stalinie. Pano-
wanie ogromne, szef o rozgłosie, o władzy niezmiernej. Strach i miłość, które on in-
spirował, geniusz nadludzki, który mu przypisywano. Później, z dziś na jutro –
otchłań zapomnienia, ostrożne szepty. Najgorliwsi jego uczniowie udają, że nie znają
swego mistrza. I jednocześnie denuncjują jego zbrodnie. I znowu cisza. Jego rodacy
kluczą, by nie wymówić słowa Stalin, określają go wstydliwą parafrazą: „epoka kul-
tu jednostki”.
Nikt nie umiał się tak maskować, jak on. Zrobił ze swej osoby mit, ze swojego
królestwa jaskinię Platona – cienie na murze. Wybudował zamek z mgły, który szo-
kował świat.
Usiłowałem go odnaleźć. Przede wszystkim chciałem opisać to przejście z czasu
– z jego czasu – do innego, iść krok za krokiem przez ostatnie dni Stalina i pierwsze
dni ery następnej. Przeszukiwałem uważnie w pismach, słuchałem świadków,
wszystkich świadków. Tych, którzy go spotykali. I tych, którzy ścinali drzewa na
Syberii i tych, którzy z jego woli znaleźli się bardzo nisko.
To panowanie zakończyło się przed 20 laty, ale jest jednym z najgorzej znanych
w historii. Stalin chciał być tajemnicą.
Z całego serca dziękuję tym, którzy mi pomogli w zbliżeniu się do niego, którzy
żywili tę książkę ciałem i krwią swego własnego doświadczenia.
Musiałem zachować anonimowość niektórych osób. Zawsze aktualny regulamin
zabrania Sowietom „dostarczać informacji” przybyszowi z zagranicy – zwierzenie
się jest zbrodnią.
Może te przeżycia dawnego czasu znikną z wszystkim, co jeszcze istnieje. Może
nadejdzie dzień, kiedy nowe wydanie tej książki poda nazwiska bez strachu, że za-
szkodzi tym wszystkim, którzy podzielili się ze mną swymi wspomnieniami.

Thomas Lane - Ofiary Stalina i Hitlera (2007).jpg

Po wojnie wielu Polaków nie zdecydowało się na powrót do kraju, osiadając na Zachodzie.

Książka jest historią dramatycznych wędrówek, bolesnych doświadczeń w więzieniach i obozach pracy oraz prób zapuszczenia korzeni na obcej ziemi, opowiedzianą często ich własnymi słowami.

Autor rozmawiał z ponad 40 osobami, korzystał z taśm archiwalnych.

To losy Polaków, którzy uciekli przed Hitlerem i Stalinem na Zachód, historie ludzi żyjących z dala od totalitaryzmu, ale poza ojczyzną.

--------------------------------------

Autor opisuje głównie losy Polaków i Bałtów w okresie II wojny światowej i w późniejszym okresie. Szczególnie mogą utkwić opisy bohaterów tamtych wydarzeń. Tragizm wojny, głód, rozłąka z rodziną, śmierć i choroby - to obrazy tamtych dni. Lane ponadto opisuje losy wysiedleńców, ludzi którzy musieli żyć w różnych miejscach wbrew sobie, nie zapominając o tym z jakiego kraju pochodzą. Książka napisana łatwym językiem polecam nie tylko lubiącym historię, ale i czytelnikom którzy dopiero zaczynają swoją "podróż" w tragiczny świat okresu wojennego.

Max Eastman - Reflections on the Failure of Social ism (1955).jpg

This present book contains Eastman's principal conclusions, or the principal things he has learned politically, since making that decision. The step is shorter from hard-headed class-struggle socialism to a firm defense of the free-market economy than to the old wishful notion of a highminded slide into utopia.

Eastman's book is written with verve, grace, and a certain amount of rueful humor. And, while its general conclusion will be familiar to readers of F. A. Hayek, Ludwig von Mises, Wilhelm Roepke, and other free market economists, the book derives high voltage effectiveness from the very fact that Eastman knows collectivism from the inside as Hayek and von Mises never could have known it.

Renate Holub - Antonio Gramsci, Beyond Marxism and Postmodernism (1992).jpg

In this study, Renate Holub attempts to reclaim Antonio Gramsci's theory from classical Marxism, instead placing him in a broader European critical context, alongside the Frankfurt School, phenomenology, and sociolinguistics. Holub emphasizes Gramsci's affinities with the cultural theories of the Frankfurt School (Horkheimer, Bloch, Brecht, Benjamin), and also points out the links between Gramsci's linguistic and phenomenological forms of knowledge. Holub conveys the conceptual and methodological complexity of his work, which is, the author claims, relevant to the construction of today's critical theory.

Terry Eagleton - Marxism and Literary Criticism (2 002).jpg

Is Marx relevant any more? Why should we care what he wrote? What difference could it make to our reading of literature? Terry Eagleton, one of the foremost critics of our generation, has some answers in this wonderfully clear and readable analysis. Sharp and concise, it is, without doubt, the most important work on literary criticism that has emerged out of the tradition of Marxist philosophy and social theory since the nineteenth century.

Terry Eagleton, Drew Milne - Marxist Literary Theo ry (1996).jpg

This text is designed to give both students and lecturers a sense of the historical formation of a marxist literary tradition. A compilation of principal texts in that tradition, it offers the reader new ways of reading marxism, literature, theory and the social possibilities of writing. The collection is introduced by both editors: Terry Eagleton, writing at the point of what he describes as "the most grievous crisis in marxism's fraught career", surveys the evolution of Marxist criticism, and addresses the profoundly problematic question of Marxism's future, especially as seen in the controversial light of postmodern theory; Drew Milne contributes a key essay on "Reading Marxist Literary Theory", exploring in the process the complex relations between Marx's writings and marxism. Represented in this reader are: Theodor W. Adorno, Louis Althusser, Aijaz Ahmad, Chida Amuta, Etienne Balibar and Pierre Macherey, Roland Barthes, Walter Benjamin, Ernest Bloch, Bertolt Brecht, Alex Callinicos, Christopher Caudwell, Terry Eagleton, Friedrich Engels, Lucien Goldmann, Fredric Jameson, V.I. Lenin, Georg Lukacs, Karl Marx, The Marxist-Feminist Collective, Jean-Paul Sartre, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Leon Trotsky, V.N. Volsinov, Galvano Della Volpe, Alick West and Raymond Williams.

Tony Bennet - Formalism and Marxism (2003).jpg

Russian Formalism and Marxist criticism had a seismic impact on twentieth-century literary theory and the shockwaves are still felt today. First published in 1979, Tony Bennett's Formalism and Marxism created its own reverberations by offering a ground-breaking new interpretation of the Formalists' achievements and demanding a new way forward in Marxist criticism.
Placing the work of key figures in context and addressing such issues as aesthetics, linguistics and the category of literature, form and function or literary evolution, Bennett argues that the Formalists' concerns provided the basis for a radically historical approach to the study of literature. Addressing such crucial questions as 'What is literature?' or 'How should it be studied and to what end?', Formalism and Marxism explores ideas which should be considered by any student or reader of literature and provides a particular challenge to those interested in Marxist criticism. Now with a new afterword, this classic text still offers the best available starting point for those new to the field, as well as representing a crucial intervention in twentieth-century literary theory.

About the Author
Tony Bennett is Professor of Sociology at the Open University, UK.

Danielle Fosler-Lussier - Music Divided, Bartók’s Legacy in Cold War Culture (2007).jpg

Music Divided explores how political pressures affected musical life on both sides of the iron curtain during the early years of the cold war. In this groundbreaking study, Danielle Fosler-Lussier illuminates the pervasive political anxieties of the day through particular attention to artistic, music-theoretical, and propagandistic responses to the music of Hungary's most renowned twentieth-century composer, Béla Bartók. She shows how a tense period of political transition plagued Bartók's music and imperiled those who took a stand on its aesthetic value in the emerging socialist state. Her fascinating investigation of Bartók's reception outside of Hungary demonstrates that Western composers, too, formulated their ideas about musical style under the influence of ever-escalating cold war tensions.

Sorin Antohi - Between Past and Future, The Revolu tion of 1989 and Their Aftermath (2000).jpg

The tenth anniversary of the collapse of communism in Central and Eastern Europe provides the starting point for this thought-provoking analysis. Between Past and Future reflects upon the past ten years and considers what lies ahead for the future.

At a crossroads between past and future, the contributors to this seminal volume address all the crucial issues - liberal democracy and its enemies, modernity and discontent, economic reforms and their social impact, ethnicity, nationalism and religion, geopolitics, electoral systems and political power, European integration and the tragic demise of Yugoslavia.
Based on the results of recent research on the ideologies behind one of the most dramatic systematic transformations in world history, and including contributions from some of the world's leading experts, Between Past and Future is an essential reference book for scholars and students of all levels, policy-makers, journalists and the general reader interested in the past and future prospects of Central & Eastern Europe.

Douglas W. Blum - National Identity and Globalizat ion, Youth, State, and Society in Post-Soviet Eura sia (2007).jpg

Communism - Books - Douglas W. Blum - National Identity and Globalizat...h, State, and Society in Post-Soviet Eurasia 2007.jpg

Is globalization in danger of diluting national identities and 'transnationalizing' cultures? How can societies attempt to manage globalization and become developed while maintaining a viable national identity? In a study of three globalizing states and cities in post-Soviet Eurasia - Russia (Astrakhan), Kazakhstan (Almaty), and Azerbaijan (Baku) - Douglas W. Blum provides an empirical examination of national identity formation, exploring how cultures, particularly youth cultures, have been affected by global forces. Blum argues that social discourse regarding youth cultural trends - coupled with official and non-official approaches to youth policy - complement patterns of state-society relations and modes of response to globalization. His findings show that the nations studied have embraced certain aspects of modernity and liberalism, while rejecting others, but have also reasserted the place of national traditions.

In the midsummer of the fateful year of 1917, as the Russian revolutionary volcano seethed and rumbled, an American named Major Raymond Robins arrived in Petrograd on a secret mission of the utmost importance. Officially, he traveled as Assistant Chief of the American Red Cross Division. Unofficially, he was in the service of the Intelligence Division of the United States Army. His secret mission was ...

Yitzhak M. Brudny - Reinventing Russia, Russian Na tionalism and the Soviet State, 1953-1991 (1999).jpg

What caused the emergence of nationalist movements in many post-communist states? What role did communist regimes play in fostering these movements? Why have some been more successful than others? To address these questions, Yitzhak Brudny traces the Russian nationalist movement from its origins within the Russian intellectual elite of the 1950s to its institutionalization in electoral alliances, parliamentary factions, and political movements of the early 1990s.
Brudny argues that the rise of the Russian nationalist movement was a combined result of the reinvention of Russian national identity by a group of intellectuals, and the Communist Party's active support of this reinvention in order to gain greater political legitimacy. The author meticulously reconstructs the development of the Russian nationalist thought from Khrushchev to Yeltsin, as well as the nature of the Communist Party response to Russian nationalist ideas. Through analysis of major Russian literary, political, and historical writings, the recently-published memoirs of the Russian nationalist intellectuals and Communist Party officials, and documents discovered in the Communist Party archives, Brudny sheds new light on social, intellectual, and political origins of Russian nationalism, and emphasizes the importance of ideas in explaining the fate of the Russian nationalist movement during late communist and early post-communist periods.

Communism - Books - The Cambridge History of China - Roderick MacFarqu...ons within the Chinese Revolution, 1966-1982 1991.jpg

Volume 15 of The Cambridge History of China is the second of two volumes dealing with the People's Republic of China since its birth in 1949. The harbingers of the Cultural Revolution were analyzed in Volume 14. Volume 15 traces a course of events still only partially understood by most Chinese. It begins by analyzing the development of Mao's thought since the Communist seizure of power, in an effort to understand why he launched the movement. The contributors grapple with the conflict of evidence between what was said favorably about the Cultural Revolution at the time and the often diametrically opposed retrospective accounts. Volume 15, together with Volume 14, provide the most comprehensive and clearest account of how revolutionary China has developed in response to the upheavals initiated by Mao and Teng Hsiao-p'ing.
