Kleopatra
"Premda joj je bilo jedva sedamnaest godina, za Kleopatru se nije moglo reci da je dete. U petnaestoj se udala za brata, koga joj je naturio zakon njene porodice nakon očeve smrti. Ali taj neveran čovek ju je odbacio i ona je morala u progonstvo u kojem je puno toga naučila. Stoga je raspolagala iskustvom kakvim se njene vrsnjakinje obično ne mogu pohvaliti. Kakve je utiske stekla cerka Ptolemeja Auleta u svom detinjstvu na dvoru koji nije skrivao svoje opačine? Njen otac je bio čudan kralj, koji je usred velikih nemira i provala stranaca samo spokojno i tvrdokorno svirao frulu. Bilo kako bilo, proizasla iz rase istančane kulture, sva prozeta samom sobom, knjizevnoscu i umetnostima, mlada Kleopatra je neobično rano upoznala zivot. U uzrastu kad ostale devojke provode svoje dane u gineceju i neguju čednost sanjajuci o kojekakvim sitnicama, ona je vec bila osetila slast zavođenja i vladanja, i oslobođena svih predrasuda nije se libila da stvarima pogleda pravo u lice. Ona je znala vrednost ljudi..."
Still Life
How adequate are our theories of globalisation for analysing the worlds we share with others? In this provocative new book, Henrietta Moore asks us to step back and re-examine in a fresh way the interconnections normally labeled 'globalisation'. Rather than beginning with abstract processes and flows, Moore starts by analyzing the hopes, desires and satisfactions of individuals in their day-to-day lives. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from African initiation rituals to Japanese anime, from sex in virtual worlds to Schubert songs, Moore develops a theory of the ethical imagination, exploring how ideas about the human subject, and its capacities for self-making and social transformation, form a basis for reconceptualizing the role and significance of culture in a global age. She shows how the ideas of social analysts and ordinary people intertwine and diverge, and argues for an ethics of engagement based on an understanding of the human need to engage with cultural problems and seek social change. This innovative and challenging book is essential reading for anyone interested in the key debates about culture and globalization in the contemporary world.
Farewell, Revolution
Steven Laurence Kaplan reconstructs and analyzes the loud and bitter arguments over the meaning of the French Revolution which have consumed French intellectuals in recent years.

He considers the roles played in those arguments by three of France's most influential historians: François Furet, Pierre Chaunu, and Michel Vovelle.

Farewell, Revolution
How the Revolution should be remembered has been the focus of debates concerned as much with France's future as with its past. Kaplan both reviews these debates and reconstructs - in sometimes hilarious detail - events leading up to the official commemoration. Bringing to bear the skills of the archival historian and the ethnographer, he masterfully explains how a particular political culture attempts to come to terms with its past.
Farewell, Fred Voodoo
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography, this is a brilliant writer’s account of a long, painful, ecstatic—and unreciprocated—affair with a country that has long fascinated the world.

Farewell, Fred Voodoo is a journey into the depths of the human soul as well as a vivid portrayal of the nation’s extraordinary people and their uncanny resilience. Haiti has found in Amy Wilentz an author of astonishing wit, sympathy, and eloquence.
A Farewell to Arms?
This comprehensive and original study is the first to explain in detail how the Good Friday Agreement ran into trouble, why we are still some way from a final settlement, but why a return to war is most unlikely--even in an age where global terror now threatens world order more seriously than at any time in the past. This new edition of an established, authoritative text will be essential reading for students, researchers and academics of Irish politics, conflict and peace studies, and international relations.
