Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Samuel the Seeker is, to put it bluntly, a pro-socialist (dare I say Communist ) morality play against the evils of Capitalism with a capital C. If this brief description already has you gritting your teeth in ideological rage, then it's safe to say you aren't going to enjoy this - or indeed, possibly any - Upton Sinclair novel.Sinclair's novel follows the journey of Samuel Prescott, an idealistic young farm boy who strikes out on his own to strike it rich when his father dies shortly after losing all of his savings in a bad stock market investment. What would typically be a rags-to-riches story becomes a rags-to-rags exercise in futility, as Samuel is confronted with every form of social injustice and societal ill that you can imagine. Upton introduces Samuel to the reader as a virtual blank slate with little more than farming and bible verses to inform his world view. Through the novel, Samuel eagerly adopts every world philosophy introduced to him, only to watch every ideology he accepts under the weight of his experiences when taken to their logical conclusion. .

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Boris Pasternak was a Nobel Prize and gret modern russian poet and writer. Pasternak's first book of poems, My Sister, Life (1917), is one of the most influential collections ever published in the Russian language. When it finally was published in 1921, the book revolutionised Russian poetry. It made Pasternak the model for younger poets, and decisively changed the poetry of Osip Mandelshtam, Marina Tsvetayeva and others. He continued to change his poetry, simplifying his style and language through the years, as expressed in his next book, Early Trains (1943). Pasternak's post-Zhivago poetry probes the universal questions of love, immortality, and reconciliation with God. Boris Pasternak wrote his last complete book, When the Weather Clears, in 1959. Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958, an event which both humiliated and enraged the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which forced him to decline the prize, though his descendants were later to accept it in his name in 1988.…
