The novel is an intertwined recount of the past and present times, different life stories, personalities and the ways they perceive life. It is not about good or bad guys, but rather about people who are living their lives to the best of their abilities. And thinking of the past, each and every one of them has his or her own regrets. It is hard to lie to oneself all the time, trying to forget those who you loved and betrayed. The Universe lives by its own rules: all good and bad things that we did will come back to us. And no one - by any stretch of imagination - can foresee what life may have in store for us.

Long Conversations in Anticipation of a Joyous Death

Tseytlin, Yevsey

The book gives a popular description of the cosmogenesis as viewed by the modern science, but with a teleological twist putting homo sapiens into a cosmic perspective. The appearance of human species is considered as a final step in a long succession of events from the Big Bang to present times. Starting from a structureless state of the newborn Universe the cosmogenesis then goes through the succession of aeons ("days") characterized by increased complexity of the emergent structures culminating in the appearance of the most complex physical objects presently known-human brains. Each "day" prepares a ground for the next breakthrough in complexity. It is demonstrated that appearance of ever more complex structures cannot be taken for granted, but is highly conditional on a very special structure of the laws of physics. The book begins with a discussion of ontological status of the laws with an emphasis on their atemporality and universality. The reader is lead to conclusion that the laws of nature as they are understood by physics, constitute an intelligible logical structure on which the material world is built. This is tantamount to the statement that the Universe is ruled by Reason (Logos). Moreover, the atemporality and universality of the laws make them not just life-, but knowledge-friendly opening the possibility for human mind, formed and trained in the restricted environment of our small planet to generalize our knowledge on objects and situations laying far outside of this environment. This knowledge-friendliness of the Universe transforms human beings from local to cosmic actors.

Well into his third decade as a poet Gari Light uses his mature voice in Confluences to translate multicultural images and locales... These English poems by Gari have the same energy and elegance as his Russian poems, and they are enriched by his multilayered, polyphonic use of the English language to express thoughts and feelings with sophistication and humor... These poems are like seascapes, or better yet dreamscapes, sweeping the reader into a swirl... So evocative is the poet's language, so affecting are his deeply felt emotions, that the reader feels invited to take a piece of each place as a keepsake or talisman; so as to forget neither the beauty nor the horror of it all...Had Gari Light been born some three decades earlier, he would feel right at home in the literary tradition of the '60s. It seems that the notions of his soul, as well as his moral stands, are much more in line with those times.

This book by the Russian-language American journalist Alexei Orlov refers to events of the 1830s and the following century of American history. Between 1840 and 1960, all American presidents elected in years that are multiples of 20 have been cursed by the Indian Chief Tecumseh and died in office, either by natural death or assassination. Orlov's book discusses the tragic lives of these presidents. The first of them, William Henry Harrison, was elected in 1940, and the last, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in 1960. Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980, was severely wounded. George W. Bush, elected in 2000, narrowly avoided the fate of his bi-decennial predecessors. Has the Tecumseh curse lost its power in the 21-st century? No one knows. Let's not jump to conclusions before the forthcoming 2020 election.

My Personal Collection is the fifth book by renowned author, Tatiana Sheremeteva. Published under an intriguing and provocative title, the book is by no means a series of stories about love and passion or romance. On the contrary, it is a reflection of the author's experiences, portraying her memorable punch lines, aphorisms, cute posts on Facebook, and phrases from her already published stories and novels that are widely quoted by readers, having assumed a life of their own. Of particular relevance is the section that contains Tatiana's critique of works by her fellow authors. The last part of the book is Tatiana's interview, or rather a transcript of the freehearted talk, with Vera Sukhinina, author of the Lady 40 Plus Project. My Personal Collection is a "digest" of the best writing by author Tatiana Sheremeteva. That's why it has a subtitle - Magnum Opus.
