This series of talks was given at Osho's first meditation camp in Rajasthan. This is a provocative introduction to an extraordinarily ordinary man's vision for humanity - a vision that continues to inspire people the world over who are searching for meditation, transformation and relaxation in the midst of the everyday challenges of their lives. In the Perfect Way, Osho answers fundamental questions about what meditation is, and how we can begin and sustain it in our lives. He does this with precision, thoroughness, humor, and compassion. Here is someone who knows, but who also knows how to convey what he knows. His genius in full flight, he points us as far as one with words toward the inner world of the self, toward the zone of silence. "When there are no thoughts, it is then that we come to know the one hidden by our thoughts. When there are no clouds the blue sky is revealed. My friends, there is a sky within you as well."

An examination of Russia's largest nineteenth century trade fair, one of the major centres of her internal commerce and trade with the East. Different aspects of the fair, such as the exchange of goods, the types of traders present and the social and cultural life of the fair, bring to light Russia's social and economic evolution. The impact of railroad construction, the development of a national market, the evolving role of the Russian state in commerce and the slowly emerging sophistication of the merchant "soslovie" are themes which contribute to the author's examination of trade at Nizhnii.

Excerpt from The Russian Story Book: Containing Tales From the Song-Cycles of Kiev and Novgorod and Other Early SourcesThis book might have been written by a Russian who thoroughly understands our language, or by an English author who has Spent the best part Of a lifetime in studying Russia and the Russians, illustrated by a native artist, and decorated by a Russian designer. When such a volume does appear, it will have a great interest for me. Meanwhile, I submit that there is some artistic unity, also, in a volume Of Russian stories, written by an Englishman, illustrated by an English artist, and decorated by an English designer, the whole production being for an English child.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

His incendiary stories melded sexual themes with his doubts about the Soviet Union; his frank portrayal of mother-son incest in "The Nizhni Novgorod" -- taken as a comment on the revolution of February 1917 -- became the catalyst for his persecution. This collection serves as a valuable introduction to the author's greatest stories. The acclaimed translation by Vera T. Reck and Michael Green makes Pilnyak's prose accessible to contemporary audiences while maintaining his evocative voice.

The battle of Lake Peipus took place in 1242 between the Teutonic Knights and the Russian city-state of Novgorod, led by its inspirational leader Alexandre Nevskii. The Teutonic Knights were a powerful military order, backed with the crusading zeal of Europe, the blessing of the Pope and the support of the Holy Roman Emperor. This battle, although little-known in the west, was important in the history of the medieval eastern crusades, the Teutonic defeat having a serious effect on future events. David Nicolle's excellent text examines the Crusade against Novgorod and the fierce fighting around the frozen shores of Lake Peipus.The battle of Lake Peipus took place in 1242 between the Teutonic Knights and the Russian city-state of Novgorod, led by its inspirational leader Alexandre Nevskii. The Teutonic Knights were a powerful military order, backed with the crusading zeal of Europe, the blessing of the Pope, and the support of the Holy Roman Emperor. The clash of arms around the frozen shores of Lake Peipus was immortalised in Eisenstein's epic film 'Alexandre Nevskii'. This battle, although little-known in the west, was important in the history of the medieval eastern crusades. As a result of the Teutonic defeat at the battle not only were the Crusaders forced to give back all the lands they had conquered in their Crusade against Novgorod, but also their defeat led to a new relationship between Catholics and Orthodox in the Baltic, with a new Pope, Innocent IV, trying to win over the Russians diplomatically rather than by military means. Finally, the battle also convinced a chastened Bishop Hermann of Tartu to accept the Teutonic Knight's priorities, which were to crush the pagan Lithuanians and to Christianise all the Baltic lands, rather than interfering in Russian affairs. David Nicolle's excellent book looks at the battle in detail and examines the Crusade against Novgorod of which it was a part.

, . . Historia de la Rusia y Ucrania fundacional. en la edad Media. Kiev Novgorod. ilustrado, idioma inglés. 386 p., tapa blanda

In the centuries following the first expeditions down the great rivers of northern Russia by Viking traders and adventurers, the foundations for a new state were laid. Many influences combined in this colourful culture which grew up first around the great cities of Kiev and Novgorod – Scandinavian, Finnish, Slav, steppe Turkish, Byzantine. By the time of the Mongol invasions of the 12th century the small enclaves of the old pagan Rus', tolerated by the Khazar Khans for their commercial usefulness, had evolved into a Christian nation. Its story is told here in fascinating detail, and illustrated with striking colour reconstructions of the warriors themselves.

In the spring of 1185, Prince Igor Sviatoslavich, with his brother, nephew, and son, set forth from Novgorod at the head of a Russian army to fight the tribes of Polovetsian barbarians that were ravaging border towns near the Black Sea. Igor led his men into battle with the tribes of Polovetsian barbarians, disregarding the bad omen of a solar eclipse, he led his men to victory in their first battle but was overconfident and pushed his advantage too far. The Polovetsians surrounded and wiped out his army, and took him captive.

An important stylistic force in twentieth-century Russian literature, Boris Pilnyak never shied from controversy. His incendiary stories melded sexual themes with his doubts about the Soviet Union; his frank portrayal of mother-son incest in "The Nizhni Novgorod" -- taken as a comment on the revolution of February 1917 -- became the catalyst for his persecution. This collection serves as a valuable introduction to the author's greatest stories. The acclaimed translation by Vera T.
