591929
For centuries, fame and fortune were to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of riches and adventure. Sweeping right across Central Asia and deep into China and India, a region that once took centre stage is again rising to dominate global politics, commerce and culture. A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is a dazzling exploration of the forces that have driven the rise and fall of empires, determined the flow of ideas and goods and are now heralding a new dawn in international affairs.

John Galsworthy was an English novelist and playwright. In this final volume of "The Forsyte Chronicles" Galsworthy writes about the lives and loves of the Cherrell family, cousins of the Forsytes. For centuries, the Cherrell sons have left their home of Condaford Grange to serve the state as soldiers, clergymen and administrators, but the 1930s bring uncertainty in a world of rapidly altering morals and unemployment. Galsworthy's portrayal of the effect of political change on individuals show him as a great social novelist as well as the author of one of the most gripping family sagas ever written.

Политические события последних лет привлекали внимание преимущественно к конфликту Западной и Восточной Украины, к трудной судьбе Крыма. Однако потенциал федерализации существенно шире. Статьи разных лет, вошедшие в сборник, написаны по преимуществу украинскими авторами. Они отнюдь не соотносятся прямо с новейшими событиями у нашего соседа, но помогают понять динамику развития идеи изменения административно-территориального устройства Украины. Здесь и полемика по проблемам двуязычия и культурных различий регионов страны, и критика несовершенства нарезки областей и районов на рубеже тысячелетий, и проекты переустройства государства, предложенные в наши дни. The political developments of the last years brought focus onto the conflict between the Western and the Eastern parts of Ukraine as well as the hard fate of Crimea. However, the federative potential is significantly wider. Articles included in this compilation were published at different times mostly by Ukrainian authors. They do not directly correlate with the recent events in our neighboring country but help to understand the dynamics of the idea of changing the administrative and territorial constitution of Ukraine. Here we find such issues as bilingualism and cultural differences between different parts of the country, critique of the presently imperfect province and regional division, projects of reforming the State that were proposed in our days.

There are stories within stories, whispered in the quiet of the night, shouted above the roar of the day, and played out between lovers and enemies, strangers and friends. But all, all are fragile things made of just 26 letters arranged and rearranged to form tales and imaginings which will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the very depths of your soul.
