Essay/Short nonfiction
Chapter: 20 | Listen: 1

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 […]

Chapter: 54 | Listen: 4

“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]

Chapter: 8 | Listen:

This Poem is the result of a sense of duty, which has taken the Author from quieter studies during a great public crisis. He obeyed the impulse with joy, because it took the shape of verse; but with more pain, on some accounts, than he chooses to express. However, he has done what he conceived himself bound to do; and if every zealous lover of his species were to express his feelings in like manner, to the best of his ability, individual opinions, little in themselves, would soon amount to an overwhelming authority, and hasten the day of reason and beneficence. – Summary by Advertisement [chương_files]
