A deeply researched biography of the prominent and divisive writer Ayn Rand, whose pro-capitalist novels and nonfiction have influenced three generations of Americans. Biographer Alexandra Popoff traces the life and creative achievement of Ayn Rand (1905-1982), one of America’s most provocative writers and whose best-selling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged have enjoyed impressive longevity. Born into a Jewish family in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Rand (then Alisa Rosenbaum) lived through the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, Civil War, and the onset of Soviet totalitarian dictatorships–experiences that made her profoundly anticommunist. When in 1926 Rand escaped from Stalinist Russia to realize her talent in America, she was also determined to expose the Communist system.

Free Download Die Awaren am Rand der byzantinischen Welt: Studien zu Diplomatie, Handel und Technologietransfer im Frühmittelalter. (Monographien zur Frühgeschichte und Mittelalterarchäologie) By Falko Daim (editor)
2000 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 3703003499 | PDF | 19 MB
Die mediterrane Welt, vor allem das Byzantinische Reich, war im 7. und 8. Jahrhundert Vorbild für die gesamte westliche Welt. Das zeigt sich nicht zuletzt im Kunsthandwerk, in Tracht und Technologie und damit im archäologischen Fundgut der Zeit. Einen besonderen Stellenwert nimmt hier das awarische Material des Karpatenbeckens und seiner Randbereiche ein, sowohl wegen des großen Umfangs – etwa 50.000 Grabinventare – als auch wegen seiner Vielfalt und Reichhaltigkeit. Im vorliegenden Band sind Arbeiten enthalten, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der byzantinischen Kultur und ihrer Auswirkungen auf die benachbarten Völkerschaften beschäftigen, wobei die Mehrzahl von der awarischen Materialbasis ausgeht.

English | ISBN: 1793634777 | 2021 | 182 pages | EPUB | 675 KB
Nikolai Chernyshevskii and Ayn Rand: Russian Nihilism Travels to America argues that the core commitments of the nihilist movement of the 1860’s made their way to 20th century America via the thought of Ayn Rand. While mid-nineteenth-century Russian nihilism has generally been seen as part of a radical tradition that culminated in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the author argues that nihilism’s intellectual trajectory was in fact quite different. Analysis of such sources as Nikolai Chernyshevskii’s What is to Be Done? (1863) and Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged (1957), archival research in Rand’s papers, and broad attention to late-nineteenth century Russian intellectual history all lead the author to conclude that nihilism’s legacy is deeply implicated in one of America’s most widely-read philosophers of capitalism and libertarian freedom.

Prekarisierung, Verelendung und Armut sind zu den Schlagwörtern der politischen Debatte des frühen 21. Jahrhunderts geworden. Während in den 1990er Jahren über die Feminisierung von Armut im Globalen Süden diskutiert wurde, ist die Armut zwischenzeitlich in den Ländern des Globalen Nordens angekommen. Ziel des Buches ist es, diese komplexen Wandlungsprozesse in den Bereichen Arbeit, Migration und Sicherheit aus einer Geschlechterperspektive zu untersuchen und dabei nach Möglichkeiten der politischen Teilhabe zu fragen.

Author: Wolfram Eilenberger, Shaun Whiteside
Narrator: Hannah Curtis
A soaring intellectual narrative starring the radical, brilliant, and provocative philosophers Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil, and Ayn Rand by the critically acclaimed author, Wolfram Eilenberger. The period from 1933 to 1943 was one of the darkest and most chaotic in human history, as the Second World War unfolded with unthinkable cruelty. It was also a crucial decade in the dramatic, intersecting lives of some of history’s greatest philosophers. There were four women, in particular, whose parallel ideas would come to dominate the twentieth century-at once in necessary dialogue and in striking contrast with one another. Simone de Beauvoir, already in a deep emotional and intellectual partnership with Jean-Paul Sartre, was laying the foundations for nothing less than the future of feminism. Born Alisa Rosenbaum in Saint Petersburg, Ayn Rand immigrated to the United States in 1926 and was honing one of the most politically influential voices of the twentieth century.
