Testimony from the literary memoirs of Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin (1911-2003): translated by Yvonne Green

Green, Yvonne
The Jewish, Odesa-born poet, Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin (1911-2003), was a central figure in modern Russian literature, although until recently, he was best known in the West for his role in preserving the manuscript of Vasily Grossman's Life and Fate from the KGB. As a Soviet journalist in WW2, he witnessed and wrote about the horrors of Stalingrad, which led the Nobel Laureate Josef Brodsky to refer to him as 'Russia's war poet'. Later, during the years of Stalin's deportation of ethnic groups, Lipkin translated and preserved the language and writings of Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Tatars and, in doing so, became a living repository of their culture for which he risked censure and arrest from the Soviet authorities. In this memoir, Lipkin's humanity, civic courage, and friendship with many important Russian writers - Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva, Andrei Platonov, and of course, Grossman himself - shine through the reports of terror and oppression that characterized this most turbulent period of Russian history.

Fiction Without Romance; Or, the Locket-Watch

Maria Polack
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Antignostikus Geist Des Tertullianus (1825)

August Neander
Das Buch ""Antignostikus Geist des Tertullianus"" von August Neander, das im Jahr 1825 ver������ffentlicht wurde, besch�����ftigt sich mit dem Werk des Kirchenvaters Tertullian. Neander untersucht Tertullians Haltung gegen�����ber der Gnosis, einer antiken philosophischen Bewegung, die sich mit dem Streben nach Erkenntnis und Wahrheit besch�����ftigte. Tertullian lehnte die Gnosis als unvereinbar mit dem christlichen Glauben ab und vertrat stattdessen eine strenge orthodoxe Position. Neander analysiert Tertullians Schriften und stellt die Bedeutung seiner Argumente f�����r die Entwicklung des fr�����hen Christentums dar. Das Buch bietet eine gr�����ndliche und detaillierte Untersuchung von Tertullians Gedanken und ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Erforschung der fr�����hchristlichen Theologie.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
