Julie Kavanagh
Rudolf Nureyev: The Life

2007 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: Born on a train in Stalin`s Russia, Rudolf Nureyev was ballet`s first pop icon. No other dancer of our time has generated the same excitement - both on and off stage. Nureyev`s achievements and conquests became legendary: he ruse out of Tatar peasant poverty to become the Kirov`s thrilling maverick star: slept with his beloved mentor`s wife, defected to the West in 1961, sparked Rudimania across the globe, gave his rabid sexuality full rein, established the most rhapsodic partnership in dance history with the middle-aged Margot Fonteyn, reinvented male technique, gatecrashed modern dance, moulded new stars, and staged Russia`s unknown ballet masterpieces in the West. Julie Kavanagh`s uncompromising and magnificent biography, ten years in the making, is a brilliant tribute to a superstar the world can never forget. [detailed...]

Rudy Burckhardt

2004 y.
Publisher: Harry N. Abrams
Description: One of the great New York street photographers, Rudolph (Rudy) Burckhardt was an astonishingly versatile artist, working not only as a photographer but also as a filmmaker and a painter. Yet his work has remained largely unknown outside a small circle of enthusiasts. Now, with this comprehensive monograph, the full range and brilliance of Burckhardt`s photography is revealed: not only his telling street scenes, which capture the energy and chaotic beauty of the city, and his penetrating portraits of artists in their studios, but also his views of European cities, studies of children and the female nude, and views of the natural world. With a thoughtful text by the well-known essayist and novelist Phillip Lopate, this volume dedicated to the multitalented Burckhardt, whom poet John Ashbery hailed as `a subterranean monument,` will be a revelation to anyone with a serious interest in contemporary culture-and a feast for the eyes of anyone who loves great photography. … [detailed...]

Rudyard Kipling. The Best Short Stories

2005 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: This is a fascinating selection of Kipling`s most famous short stories, bringing together the very best of his work. `Life`s Handicap` reflects his experiences of India, and contains two horror stories which permeate the collection with an air of haunted destinies. Delusions and obsessions, past lives and the slums of London in 1890 are the fascinatingly diverse topics featured in `Many Inventions`. While `Traffics and Discoveries` contains three tales in which the subject matter ranges from unexplained mystery and the supernatural to an other-worldly house full of elusive but charming children. `The Maltese Cat` is Kipling`s well-loved story about a polo pony. These stories remind us once again that Kipling is an undisputed master of story-telling. [detailed...]

Rue du Regard

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionTodd Swift is one of Canada?s leading younger expatriate writers. Elegant, moving, and masterful, Rue du Regard forms the final part of a trilogy, following the acclaimed Budavox and Cafe Alibi. Written in Paris and London between 2001 and 2004, Rue du Regard crosses the channel between these two great cities and between two kinds of poetry: experimental and mainstream. The book deals with looking: in, out, back, and ahead. In almost whiplash motion, certain moods, themes, and images from Swift?s earlier collections here snap forward, double-back. The universal accidents of travel and memory, love and desire, violence and innocence, are central. [detailed...]

Eiko Maruko Siniawer
Ruffians, Yakuza, Nationalists: The Violent Politics of Modern Japan, 1860-1960

2008 y.
Publisher: Cornell University Press
Description: Violence and democracy may seem fundamentally incompatible, but the two have often been intimately and inextricably linked. In Ruffians, Yakuza, Nationalists, Eiko Maruko Siniawer argues that violence has been embedded in the practice of modern Japanese politics from the very inception of the country`s experiment with democracy. As soon as the parliament opened its doors in 1890, brawls, fistfights, vandalism, threats, and intimidation quickly became a fixture in Japanese politics, from campaigns and elections to legislative debates. Most of this physical force was wielded by what Siniawer calls `violence specialists`: ruffians and yakuza. Their systemic and enduring political violence-in the streets, in the halls of parliament, during popular protests, and amid labor strife-ultimately compromised party politics in Japan and contributed to the rise of militarism in the 1930s. For the post-World War II years, Siniawer illustrates how the Japanese developed a preference for money… [detailed...]

The plot rests on the schemes of its weary, obsessive, dreamy hero--a character so brilliantly drawn that he can`t be dismissed or forgotten. A tender and wildly accurate portrait, in a gem of a novel.` --Joan Silber, author of The Size of the World `Obejas evinces a new, focused lyricism as she penetrates to the very heart of the Cuban paradox in a story as pared down and intense as its narrator`s life.` --Booklist (*starred review*) `Compassionate and intriguing . . .

The metamorphosis of the ruin motif in art explains not only the separations but the continuities between the perception of past and present that characterize the different art movements. Drawing from all media of Western art including garden design, photography, and fine art, Makarius explores the rich and diverse iconography of ruins from da Vinci to Van Gogh, from Botticelli to Roy Lichtenstein.Ruins is a reminder of history at a time when few art motifs still have the power to demand attention for our immense collective past-and at a moment when a reminder is sorely needed.

Rule #1: The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Before I became “Phil Town, teacher of investing principles to more than 500,000 people a year,” I was a lot like you: someone who viewed individual stock investing as way too hard to do successfully. As a guy who barely made a living as a river guide, I considered the whole process pretty impenetrable, and I was convinced that to do it right you had to make it a full-time job. Me, I was more interested in having full-time fun. So I was tempted to do what you’re probably doing right now: letting some mutual fund manager worry about growing your nest egg. Let me tell you why that decision could one day make you absolutely miserable. The fact is, because of natural market cycles, the mutual fund industry is likely to soon be facing twenty years of flat returns. That means that if you’ve got your nest egg tucked away in funds—especially the type found in most 401ks—your egg won’t get much bigger than it is now. Translation: Get… [detailed...]

Heidi Squier Kraft
Rule Number Two: Lessons I Learned in a Combat Hospital

2007 y.
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
Description: When Lieutenant Commander Heidi Kraft`s twin son and daughter were fifteen months old, she was deployed to Iraq. A clinical psychologist in the US Navy, Kraft`s job was to uncover the wounds of war that a surgeon would never see. She put away thoughts of her children back home, acclimated to the sound of incoming rockets, and learned how to listen to the most traumatic stories a war zone has to offer. One of the toughest lessons of her deployment was perfectly articulated by the TV show M*A*S*H: `There are two rules of war. Rule number one is that young men die. Rule number two is that doctors can`t change rule number one.` Some Marines, Kraft realized, and even some of their doctors, would be damaged by war in ways she could not repair. And sometimes, people were repaired in ways she never expected. Rule number two is a powerful firsthand account of providing comfort admidst the chaos of war, and of what it takes to endure.
