PrizeAn exciting contemporary Russian writer explores terra incognita: the still-living margins of history.With the death of her aunt, the narrator is left to sift through an apartment full of faded photographs, old postcards, letters, diaries, and heaps of souvenirs: a withered repository of a century of life in Russia. Carefully reassembled with calm, steady hands, these shards tell the story of how a seemingly ordinary Jewish family somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century.In dialogue with writers like Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, and Osip Mandelstam, In Memory of Memory is imbued with rare intellectual curiosity and a wonderfully soft-spoken, poetic voice. Dipping into various forms—essay, fiction, memoir, travelogue, and historical documents—Stepanova assembles a vast panorama of ideas and personalities, offering an entirely new and bold exploration of cultural and personal memory.Praise for In Memory of Memory:"A luminous, rigorous, and mesmerizing interrogation of the relationship between personal history, family history, and capital-H History. I couldn't put it down; it felt sort of like watching a hypnotic YouTube unboxing-video of the gift-and-burden that is the twentieth century. In Memory of Memory has that trick of feeling both completely original and already classic, and I confidently expect this translation to bring Maria Stepanova a rabid American fan base on the order of the one she already enjoys in Russia." —Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot, finalist for the Pulizter Prize for Fiction"There is simply no book in contemporary Russian literature like In Memory of Memory. A microcosm all its own, it is an inimitable journey through a family history which, as the reader quickly realizes, becomes a much larger quest than yet another captivating family narrative. Why? Because it asks us if history can be examined at all, yes, but does so with incredible lyricism and fearlessness. Because Stepanova teaches us to find beauty where no one else sees it. Because Stepanova teaches us to show tenderness towards the tiny, awkward, missed details of our beautiful private lives. Because she shows us that in the end our hidden strangeness is what makes us human. This, I think, is what makes her a truly major European writer. I am especially grateful to Sasha Dugdale for her precise and flawless translation which makes this book such a joy to read in English. This is a voice to live with." —Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic"Dazzling erudition and deep empathy come together in Maria Stepanova's profound engagement with the power and potential of memory, the mother of all muses. An exploration of the vast field between reminiscence and remembrance, In Memory of Memory is a poetic appraisal of the ways the stories of others are the fabric of our history." —Esther Kinsky, author of Grove"A book to plunge into. 'Everyone else's ancestors had taken part in history' writes Stepanova; building itself via accumulation, these chapters become an important testimony to the cultural and political lives of the people held beneath the surface of the tides of history" —Andrew McMillan, author of Playtime

mereka belum lahir. Persoalan kutuk sudah lama diabaikan, dan kami merasa itu perlu diungkapkan di sini. Kita mulai dengan masuk ke dalam ayat-ayat Alkitab agar mengetahui apa yang sebenarnya difirmankan Tuhan tentang hal itu, cara kerjanya, dan cara kita agar benar-benar bebas darinya. Kutuk keturunan sangat penting sehingga Tuhan memasukkannya dalam tabel 10 Perintah Allah. Begitu banyak orang yang diikat oleh musuh dengan alat perbudakan yang tidak terlihat dan tidak bisa dikenali. Dalam pembahasan ini, kita akan diajari cara untuk meremukkan belenggu yang berasal dari musuh ini. Kita menelusuri lebih dalam ke area seperti penyembahan berhala (Termasuk Halloween), amoralitas, pengkhianatan, pencurian, pembunuhan, dll. Saya yakin ketika Anda membaca buku ini dan menyelidiki kebenarannya, akan ada dorongan dalam diri Anda untuk menguji diri sendiri serta melakukan upaya yang disengaja untuk hidup dalam kekudusan jika bukan untuk diri sendiri, setidaknya demi kepentingan anak-anak Anda dan generasi yang belum lahir.

Pedagang mainan seks mengumpulkan miliaran dolar setiap tahun. Produk mereka sangat beragam dan hari ini tersedia di setiap bagian dunia.…
Sekarang, ini mirip seperti bisnis yang secara artifisial atau teknologi merangsang dan memuaskan hasrat seksual sedang trendi. Orang lajang, sudah menikah, tua, muda, saat ini menjadi pelanggan setia toko-toko mainan seks dan produsennya, secara bijak juga, terus membuat alat-alat yang lebih menarik dan canggih. Sepertinya kecerdasan inovatif mereka tidak berhenti untuk menemukan alat-alat pemuas seksual baru ini. Saat ini beberapa alat ini bertindak dan berperilaku persis seperti pasangan lawan jenis dalam bertindak. Benar. Namun di sini, kita ingin melihat asal, niat, dan akibat dari alat ini bagi pemakai, terutama implikasi secara rohani serta psikologis. Mainan seks bukan barang baru. Mainan seks memiliki sejarah panjang yang dimulai dengan pemakaian benda-benda ukiran yang melambangkan penis. Bangsa Romawi, Yunani, Tionghoa, Asia, dan India kuno sudah memakai benda-benda ukiran yang terbuat dari batu, besi, emas, kayu, serta bahan lainnya untuk mendorong masturbasi. Beberapa di antaranya (seperti bangsa Yunani) menyembah dewa dan dewi seks; di situlah benda-benda inilah ditampilkan, dipakai, dan perbuatan amoral seksual juga dipromosikan secara luas, termasuk hubungan seks dengan iblis serta roh. Jadi, kita bisa sepantasnya mengatakan bahwa dasar dari mainan seks berasal dari hasrat untuk kesenangan ‘tanpa batas’ dan penyembahan para dewa iblis. Penemuan ini berubah menjadi benda lain dan pada abad ke-20 kita melihat vibrator listrik pertama ditemukan. Sejak saat itu, banyak sekali buku petunjuk tentang hal ini dan kemudian menjadi alat kesenangan seksual yang canggih. Beberapa di antaranya bisa berkedip dan berbicara! Wow! Sekarang, apakah mainan seks termasuk dalam rencana semula Tuhan? Dan karena hubungan seksual adalah pertalian secara jasmani, emosi, serta rohani, apakah ini memiliki efek samping sec

Когда обычный человек, любой из нас, вдруг оказывается на грани жизни и смерти, один, посреди непроходимых джунглей, он сможет выжить?…
Именно такая незамысловатая дилемма стоит перед героем нашей истории. Возвращаясь из отпуска, после заурядного сафари на джипах с фотоаппаратом в Намибии, он вдруг оказывается на грани выживания, после того, как их самолет был сбит какими-то повстанцами и упал в девственных джунглях Итури, в Республике Конго. Словом, наш герой нежданно-негаданно оказывается там, где дикая природа - отнюдь не единственный смертельный враг, и где просто выжить - далеко не единственная сверхзадача. Повествование, выдержанное в духе классической приключенческой литературы, переносит читателя из мира реального в мир, где всё пропитано тревогой и отчаянием главного героя от навалившихся на него несчастий. В этой книге естественным образом переплетаются между собой человеческие эмоции и нечеловеческое напряжение в борьбе за жизнь. По мере развития сюжета психологическая деградация героя гармонично вписывается в подробное описание окружающей его прир�
