Summer has shed its kin by the time October comes to town. Frost is in the air, twilight lingers and the nights loom over the shortened days. Nature displays the dying of the year with a explosion of color. The nights are darker and the stars are clearer. Belief is, that the wall between the worlds is at it's thinnest during this season and on the 31st of October it's even possible to cross over in both directions. We simultaneously hope and dread that we will catch a glimpse of or come in contact with the dead, undead, those who never lived, and the undying. We all love Halloween. Of all nights of the year, Halloween is the one where we hope that the impossible can be made possible and unreal can become real. It's the day where our deepest fears and wishes take on flesh. On Halloween our souls cry out "Scare us! Show us Fear! Makes us BELIEVE!" We wear masks not to hide, for that is an illusion, but to reveal our true selves. It is the one day where we find the courage to laugh at Death.

Knjiga prikazuje življenje in delo slovenskih beguncev (ok. 20.000), ki so maja 1945 zapustili Slovenijo in se začasno umaknili v Avstrijo, kjer so jih zavezniške oblasti namestile v begunska taborišča za razseljene osebe. V teh »lesenih mestih« so v kratkem času nastale specifične begunske skupnosti, ki so se razmeroma dobro organizirale in razvile pestro dejavnost – vzgojno, izobraževalno in kulturno delo, versko življenje in politično delovanje. Ker jim razmere v Jugoslaviji niso dovoljevale vrnitve v domovino, so se konec štiridesetih let povečini preselili v prekomorske države (največ v Argentino).

Few relationships have been as misunderstood as the "strategic partnership" between Russia and China. Official rhetoric portrays it as the very model of international cooperation: Moscow and Beijing claim that ties are closer and warmer than at any time in history. In reality, however, the picture is highly ambiguous. While both sides are committed to multifaceted engagement, cooperation is complicated by historical suspicions, cultural prejudices, geopolitical rivalries, and competing priorities. For Russia, China is at once the focus of a genuine convergence of interests and the greatest long-term threat to its national security. For China, Russia is a key supplier of energy and weapons, b...
