Долгий '68
Книга озвучена искусственным интеллектом. Он был разработан специально для чтения текста, умеет учиться и постоянно становится лучше. 1968 год ознаменовался необычайным размахом протестов по всему западному миру. По охвату, накалу и последствиям все происходившее тогда можно уподобить мировой революции. Миллионные забастовки французских рабочих, радикализация университетской молодежи, протесты против войны во Вьетнаме, борьба за права меньшинств и социальную справедливость – эхо «долгого 68-го» продолжает резонировать с современностью даже пятьдесят лет спустя. Ричард Вайнен, историк и профессор Королевского колледжа в Лондоне, видит в этих событиях не обособленную веху, но целый исторический период, продлившийся с середины 1960-х до конца 1970-х годов. Это – первая попытка рассмотреть в транснациональной перспективе всю совокупность протестных движений и восстаний, разворачивавшихся в благополучных индустриальных странах – Соединенных Штатах Америки, Франции, Великобритании и Западной Германии. Автор пытается выяснить, почему развитые демократии Запада вдруг оказались на грани нервного срыва и как протесты повлияли на различные социальные группы – молодежь, женщин, рабочих, сексуальные меньшинства. Отдельное место отведено тому сочетанию революционного насилия и политического соглашательства, которое продемонстрировал 1968 год – время радикальных требований и несбывшихся надежд.

Сесил Рот – известный британский исследователь и крупнейший специалист по истории евреев, автор многих трудов по названной теме, представляет венецианскую жизнь еврейской общины XV—XVII вв. Основываясь на исторических исследованиях и документальных материалах, Рот создал яркую, интересную и драматичную картину повседневной жизни евреев в Венецианской республике на отведенной им территории, получившей название – гетто. Автор рассказывает о роли, которую играли евреи в жизни Венеции, описывает структуру общества, рисует портреты многих выдающихся людей, сыгравших важную роль в развитии науки и культуры. Удивительно, но в венецианском гетто возникла невероятно интересная и теплая общественная жизнь, которую автору удалось воссоздать в необычных подробностях.

Маля. Однажды в Гагаузии
Когда я приступила к работе над своей первой книгой, мне очень хотелось не просто поделиться повествованием, но вместе с тем совершить нечто более высокое и духовное. И потому главная миссия моего романа – сохранить память об обычном человеке, обычном месте и обычных человеческих буднях. Это самая малость, которую я могу сделать в знак благодарности и почитания к моим корням. В книге вы найдёте откровенные истории о любви и мудрости, вере в Бога и лучших человеческих качествах. Я открываю читателю драгоценную шкатулку дорогих воспоминаний и кладезь ценного опыта на моём духовном пути, главное влияние на который оказала моя бабушка – маля.
