The Forger's Echo
Isabelle “Izzy” Dufresne sees the world in a symphony of color and sound—not as others do, but through the whispers of creation emanating from the canvases she restores. Her synesthesia, a rare neurological phenomenon, allows her to perceive the phantom pressure of an artist's hand, the ghostly scratch of charcoal, the very murmur of their intentions. But when Izzy begins restoring a luminous Vermeer portrait, she detects a discordant echo—the insidious mimicry of a forger. A chilling note, discovered beneath a layer of cracked varnish, confirms her suspicions: "Some echoes are best left unheard." Suddenly, the hushed halls of London's prestigious Galerie Aubert become a stage for de...

Food & Everyday Life in the Postsocialist World
Across the Soviet Union and eastern Europe during the socialist period, food emerged as a symbol of both the successes and failures of socialist ideals of progress, equality, and modernity. By the late 1980s, the arrival of McDonald's behind the Iron Curtain epitomized the changes that swept across the socialist world. Not quite two decades later, the effects of these arrivals were evident in the spread of foreign food corporations and their integration into local communities. This book explores the role played by food--as commodity, symbol, and sustenance--in the transformation of life in Russia and eastern Europe since the end of socialism. Changes in food production systems, consumption patterns, food safety, and ideas about health, well-being, nationalism, and history provide useful perspectives on the meaning of the postsocialist transition for those who lived through it.
