Капка Кассабова повертається до Болгарії, з якої емігрувала 25 років тому, щоб дослідити кордон, який її країна поділяє з Туреччиною та Грецією. Коли авторка була дитиною, ця прикордонна зона аж кишіла солдатами та шпигунами – вважалося, що на шляху до Заходу її подолати легше, ніж Берлінський мур. Письменниця згадує, як відпочивала з батьками на болгарській «Червоній Рив’єрі» та гралася на пляжі лише за кілька миль від електрифікованої огорожі, вістря якої було спрямовано всередину й чітко вказувало на справжнього ворога: громадян тоталітарного режиму. Авторка досліджує місцевість між кордонами, сформовану послідовними силами історії: Радянською та Османською імперіями, а ще раніше – міфами й легендами. На своєму шляху вона зустрічає мешканців напівпорожніх сіл, контрабандистів, шукачів скарбів, ботаніків і прикордонників, виснажених чоловіків і жінок, які пройшли до Болгарії через Туреччину з Сирії та Іраку. Вона фіксує історії живих і мертвих та помічає, як ця місцевість затягує і її.

Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, first printed just before the French revolution of 1848, is his most accessible and famous work. In his powerful call to arms, Marx expounds his famous theory that class struggle is the real determinant of historical change. Next in this volume comes his treatise, Wages, Price and Profit, written in 1865, which serves as an accessible introduction to the ideas which Marx went on to develop in Capital, his masterful, multi volume analysis of how the world was irreversibly changed by the industrial revolution. This Macmillan Collector's Library edition contains the most salient extracts from his great work, selected and introduced by Hugh Griffith. Whilst old-style Marxism is now dead and buried, today's conflicts within capitalism are as sharp as ever and Marx's brilliant, painstaking writings remain disturbingly relevant. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

Що таке політика? Що таке емансипація? Якої долі зазнають революції в історії? На що здатні народні рухи та колективні практики? Чи є сенс сьогодні говорити про лівих і правих? Як протистояти авторитарній владі, хай навіть вона перебирається в «ліберальні» та «демократичні» шати?.. На ці та багато інших запитань розмірковує відомий філософ у жвавих бесідах і часто загострено полемічних діалогах. Видання також споряджене кількома лекціями на тему минулої та сучасної ситуації в філософії та політиці, їхньої обопільної взаємодії. Ален Бадью: «Мак’явеллі розлого визначав політику як довершене мистецтво омани. Але для нас політика має бути дещо іншим: здатністю суспільства взяти в руки власну долю, винайти справедливий лад і діяти згідно з імперативом спільного блага». Нова книжка Бадью «Похвала політиці» перетинає часи і континенти. Це щільний компендіум знань про політику, історію, а отже, й майбутнє.
