This year is no exception.Readers have contributed 88 recordings in Dutch, English, French, German, Japanese, Polish and Yiddish, and this feast of fiction, poetry, essays, articles and musical items ranges from lectures to love letters, science to songs, travel to taxes, and politics to pirates, spiced with a dash of humour.It has, as always, been enormous fun for the readers and singers, and we hope that you, the listener, will gain just as much enjoyment as we have had producing it.

Евреи и Россия (Jews and Russia)

Rate this audiobook

Collection of articles 1903-1912 that became seminal to the organized Zionist movement in Russian Empire and the world. In Russian. 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of the restoration of historic justice—transfer of the remains of Vladimir Jabotinsky to the land of Israel by the decision of the Israeli Government, as Jabotinsky demanded in his will. Vladimir (Ze’ev) Jabotinsky (1880-1940), founder and inspirational leader of Russian Zionism, founder of the Jewish Legion, “Irgun”, and “Beitar”, writer, poet, essayist, journalist, translator, and perhaps the most underrated writer of the 20-th century. For 16 years (1948-1964), the Government of Israel did not take the initiative in acting upon his last will. The controversy is still boiling: in 2008, the Israeli Minister of Education announced plans for withdrawal of the Jabotinsky name from the school programs (plans not implemented). Собрание статей 1903-1912 гг., которые заложили идейную основу сионистскому движению в Российской Империи и во всем мире. В 2014 году исполняется 50 лет восстановлению исторической справедливости — перенесению останков Владимира Жаботинского в землю Израиля по решению правительства Государства Израиль — как это требовал сам Жаботинский в своём завещании. Владимир (Зеэв) Жаботинский (1880-1940) — основатель и идеолог Российского сионизма, создатель Еврейского легиона и организаций «Иргун» и «Бейтар»; писатель, поэт, публицист, журналист, переводчик и, возможно, самый недооцененный литератор 20-го века. Правительство Израиля в течение 16 лет (1948-1964) не проявляло инициативы в исполнении его последней воли. Страсти не утихают до сих пор — в 2008 г. израильской министр образования объявил о планах изъятия имени Жаботинского из школьных программ […]

Selected Poems of Yone Noguchi

Rate this audiobook

“Yone Noguchi was an influential Japanese writer of poetry, fiction, essays, and literary criticism in both English and Japanese. Critical evaluations of Noguchi, while varying drastically, have frequently stressed the enigmatic character of his work. Arthur Symons referred to him as a “scarcely to be apprehended personality.” Arthur Ransome called him “a poet whose poems are so separate that a hundred of them do not suffice for his expression.” Ezra Pound, on first reading The Pilgrimage in 1911 wrote that “His poems seem to be rather beautiful. I don’t quite know what to think about them.” Nishiwaki Junzaburō wrote, “Most of his earlier poems have always seemed to me so terrific, so bewildering, as to startle me out of reason or system.” – Summary by Wikipedia     [chương_files]
