Winner of the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Non-Fiction A New York Times Notable Book of 2015 A painstakingly researched, revelatory biography of Svetlana Stalin, a woman fated to live her life in the shadow of one of history's most monstrous dictators - her father, Josef Stalin. Born in the early years of the Soviet Union, Svetlana Stalin spent her youth inside the walls of the Kremlin. Communist Party privilege protected her from the mass starvation and purges that haunted Russia, but she did not escape tragedy - the loss of everyone she loved, including her mother, two brothers, aunts and uncles, and a lover twice her age, deliberately exiled to Siberia by her father. As she gradually learned about the extent of her father's brutality after his death, Svetlana could no longer keep quiet and in 1967 shocked the world by defecting to the United States - leaving her two children behind

Книга Майи Анджелу «Письмо к моей дочери» посвящено дочери, которой у писательницы и поэтессы не было, но незримое присутствие которой она ощущала на каждом шагу. В ней автор книги «Поэтому птица в неволе поёт» рассказывает, как прожить хорошую и осмысленную жизнь. Это произведение, написанное Анджелу в её уникальном стиле, не укладывается в наши ограниченные представления о жанрах и категориях. Оно представляет собой нечто среднее между наставлением, мемуарами и книгой стихов • Короткие эссе писательницы и поэтессы позволят читателям украдкой взглянуть на обстоятельства, не только научившие её стойкости и состраданию, но и позволившие ей занять достойное место в каноне американской литературы. Анджелу пишет то об утраченных друзьях, то о том, как важно быть честной и открытой, то о достоинствах красного риса… но вся эта книга – от первой и до последней страницы – представляет собой искреннее послание миллионам женщин

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.' Autobiographical in tone, Joyce's tale of Stephen Dedalus' journey into adulthood explores the intellectual and moral development of an artist as he struggles to overcome the ingrained Catholic consciousness of his childhood - a family life governed by Irish history, religion and politics. Realistic and innovative in its approach, the style of writing proved controversial upon publication in 1916 and the character of Stephen on a quest for his identity did not appeal to readers.However, Joyce expertly encapsulates the development of individual consciousness and the role of the artist in society in what is considered one of his greatest works
