Translated by Vladislav Zhukov. xii + 168pp, paperback. "Nguyen Du was a Vietnamese official displaced in a dynastic shift and sent into provincial exile in the service of his new overlord. The epic poem, Kim Vân Kieu, was his most notable work during this period. This saga of a rich, sophisticated and multifaceted culture - derivative in its special way from the classical traditions of China - launches a romantic girl of good family, Kieu, into an epic of dissolution, intrigues and refined cruelty. As one picaresque episode follows another, it becomes clear that the saga of Kieu's wanderings and travails is also Nguyen Du's lament of the overthrow of the ruling house of his youth and the loss of his former state. While dedicated to its portrayal of bygone Sino-Vietnamese times, the incisive intellectual, moral and social commentary of the Kim Van Kieu still speaks to the reader across these cultural and historical distances."

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What makes these stories arresting? They are ripping yarns, in which volunteers work unarmed on a tropical island where civil war has recently been suspended. They offer a contrast to Australia's glamorous Timor intervention. They present a different way of projecting Australian interest. They turn colonial stereotypes upside down. Bougainvilleans invited these volunteers and constantly determined the conditions in which they worked. They were required not to act but to bear witness. Month after month they held the ring and provided facilities and services while peace negotiations dragged on to their conclusion in 2001. What is unique is not just the monitors' achievements, but the impact on them of working in a multinational force of men and women, soldiers and civilians. 203 pages.

Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. PAPUA NEW GUINEA -At the beginning of the new century, twenty-five years since independence, many changes have occurred in Papua New Guinea, from the Bougainville civil war and internal political crises, to the many challenges posed by globalization and socio-political changes. This collection of essays, written by the post-independence generation of Papua New Guinea, articulates a vision for the future. It provides an overview of the history of the past twenty-five years, frankly assesses the state-of-the-nation, and addresses its future development. The essays within this volume offer divergent perspectives on the nation-building process across a wide variety of areas. Common to all, however, is the theme of nation building. All contributors see themselves as being part of a process that will ultimately answer the question: Where to from here?"#240222X Qxv, 373 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm.
