Evergreen Review No. 30 May-June 1963
Evergreen, 1963. First Edition. Softcover (perfect bound). Original illustrated wrappers. With corrugated subscription leaf bound in. With b/w illustrations and adverstisments. Slight wear to spine covers and corners. ; Evergreen Review; Vol. 30; 20.5 x 13.5 x 1.5 cms; 127 pages; In the May–June 1963 issue of Evergreen Review (Vol. 7, No. 30) , Fyodor Abramov’s novella The New Life: A Day on a Collective Farm, translated by George Reavey, presents a vivid and realistic portrayal of Soviet rural life during the Khrushchev era. The narrative focuses on a single day in the life of a northern Russian kolkhoz (collective farm) , offering insight into the routines, interpersonal tensions, and ideological struggles of its workers. Abramov, known for his commitment to truthfully depicting Soviet peasantry, uses this day-in-the-life structure to explore broader themes such as collectivism, the clash between tradition and progress, and the human consequences of political change. His story does not idealise the Soviet system but instead offers a critical yet compassionate look at the lives of ordinary villagers navigating its realities. The New Life stands as both a literary and sociological document—an empathetic, grounded exploration of the impact of agricultural policy on rural communities, and a powerful example of Abramov’s literary dedication to rural truth-telling.. Very Good .

Hessel, a French diplomat, resistance fighter, and concentration camp survivor, draws on his experiences in the French Resistance during World War II and his involvement in drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He emphasizes moral outrage as a vital force for peaceful resistance and social change. The essay highlights the importance of standing up against issues such as poverty, the unchecked power of financial markets, environmental destruction, and the inhumane treatment of undocumented immigrants. Hessel warns against apathy and cynicism, which he sees as threats to democratic societies, and advocates for nonviolent protest and civic engagement as essential tools to uphold human rights and justice..

'from Solidarity to Geopolitics' : Support for Democracy Among Postcommunist States
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014. First Edition; First Edition. Original Boards. Hardcover; Octavo; This book theorizes a mechanism underlying regime-change waves, the deliberate efforts of diffusion entrepreneurs to spread a particular regime and regime-change model across state borders. Why do only certain states and non-state actors emerge as such entrepreneurs? Why, how, and how effectively do they support regime change abroad? To answer these questions, the book studies the entrepreneurs behind the third wave of democratization, with a focus on the new eastern European democracies - members of the European Union. The study finds that it is not the strongest democracies nor the democracies trying to ensure their survival in a neighborhood of non-democracies that become the most active diffusion entrepreneurs. It is, instead, the countries where the organizers of the domestic democratic transitions build strong solidarity movements supporting the spread of democracy abroad that do. The book also draws parallels between their activism abroad and their experiences with democratization and democracy assistance at home.. As New with no dust jacket .
