Nineteen Eighty-Four (also published as 1984) is a dystopian novel by the English writer George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwells ninth and final completed book. Thematically, it centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society. Orwell, a democratic socialist and an anti-Stalinist, modelled an authoritarian socialist Britain on the Soviet Union in the era of Stalinism and the practices of state censorship and state propaganda in Nazi Germany. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within societies and the ways in which they can be manipulated.The story takes place in an imagined future. The current year is uncertain, but believed to be 1984. Much of the world is in perpetual war. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, has become a province of the totalitarian superstate Oceania, which is led by Big Brother, a dictatorial leader supported by an intense cult of personality manufactured by the Partys Thought Police.

Animal Farm (originally Animal Farm: A Fairy Story) is a satirical allegorical dystopian novella, in the form of a beast fable, by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945. It follows the anthropomorphic farm animals of the fictional Manor Farm as they rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where all animals can be equal, free, and happy away from human interventions. However, by the end of the novella, the rebellion is betrayed, and under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon, the farm ends up in a far worse state than it was before.According to Orwell, Animal Farm reflects events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union, a period when Russia lived under the MarxistLeninist ideology of Joseph Stalin. Orwell, a democratic socialist, was a critic of Stalin and hostile to Moscow-directed Stalinism, an attitude that was critically shaped by his experiences during the Barcelona May Days conflicts between the POUM and Stalinist forces, during the Spanish Civil War.

From the acclaimed critic and award-winning author of Anno Dracula comes a bitingly satirical story of superheroism, soap opera and alternative reality -- for readers of Austin Grossmans Soon I Will Be Invincible and George R.R. Martins Wild Cards.When Chrissie Chambers (model actress whatever) discovers her soap opera character is about to be killed off, she finally stops dieting and discovers hitherto untapped supernatural abilities. Meanwhile, Chrissies aunt - former national heroine Lady Shade - goes missing. Afraid for Jasmines safety and itching to costume-up, Chrissie and her ghost-possessed best friend Loulee break into Devils Dyke, the asylum where Jasmine works as a therapist with the most dangerous cutthroats (supervillains) in Britain only to find the inmates have taken over Chrissie debuts successfully as a cloak (superheroine), but who will become the arch-nemesis of Lady Shade II?In Chrissies timeline, the Beatles didnt split up and recorded a hallucinodelic album in 1972 Never Mind (strictly, Never Mind the Beatles) which literally changed the world. Set in an alternative 2020s London, this hugely entertaining, darkly humorous superhero tale is packed with Newmans trademark wit, and comes with wickedly sharp edges.

A New Perspective for Biblical Justice in International Relations Practicing a Christian vision of justice as a citizen in ones own country is difficult enough. Add on the challenge of establishing and living out a Christian ethic among states, where there may be few established norms and shared values, and you have the gargantuan task of doing international relations. Does Christianity have anything to say about global justice for modern nation-states? Canwe look to the biblical vision for help with the complex problems of a globalized world? Robert Joustra answers with a resounding yes. Christ and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustines understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics. In Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Joustra introduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens; demonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics; equips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and moves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states. Christ and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics. Joustra providesa systematic treatment of introductory political theology of world politics, then applies that foundation to key issues in the international system: diplomacy, war, political economy, and climate. Ideal for the undergraduate level, this book is a gift to those who to want to learn to love their neighbor on the global stage.

A janela sobre a ditadura brasileira que os documentos norte-americanos nos oferecem continua essencialmente inexplorada, com uma quantidade expressiva de material documental inédito, sobretudo em temas de politica domestica. A partir dos arquivos ianques, este estudo de folego nos oferece um acesso privilegiado a realidade contemporanea da ditadura.Se e conhecida a influencia dos Estados Unidos sobre o golpe de 1964, de que forma a interlocuço ocorria ao longo do regime? Sob uma perspectiva privilegiada, os diplomatas ianques tinham acesso livre aqueles que participavam do processo decisorio da ditadura brasileira. Isso envolve de empresarios a membros da classe politica, de intelectuais a jornalistas e ativistas sociais. E, claro, os proprios militares.Felipe Loureiro, por mais de uma decada, dedicou-se a analisar documentos diplomaticos do periodo, entre telegramas, memorandos, relatorios e cartas. Sem desconsiderar as limitaçes dos arquivos, o historiador revela as entranhas do processo de construço e declinio do periodo mais longo de exceço politica da historia brasileira.Olhares ianques reconstroi as contradiçes, complexidades e incertezas vivenciadas por atores centrais do regime. Ao passo que joga luz a informaçes ineditas, Loureiro nos alerta para a profuso de informaçes que ainda segue intocada: "Em meio a tantos trechos cobertos por frias tarjas pretas, persiste a sensaço de que a ditadura se projetava continuamente sobre a atmosfera da redemocratizaço, como um sujeito oculto invisivel, mas palpavel."

The story of the Saab 9-3 is full of twists and turns, from its origins before the 9-3 name even existed to its unexpected rebirth as an electric vehicle decades later. Bizarrely, the first-generation 9-3 was in essence the same car as the Saab 900 built between 1994 and 1998. Equally as bizarre, the second-generation 9-3 lived on well beyond the General Motors era, reappearing in 201314 and again from 2019 to 2022. In these later years its familiar Gen2 silhouette concealed an all-electric powertrain, now wearing the badge of new owner NEVS (National Electric Vehicle Sweden) in place of the hallowed Saab Griffin. From 1998 to 2011, the Saab 9-3 was manufactured at the Trollhattan factory in Sweden, carrying the brands distinctive character into a new era. This book charts the 9-3s evolution under General Motors stewardship, from the outgoing Saab 900 to the fundamentally similar first-generation 9-3, and on to the redesigned Gen2 model of 2002, this new model being built on GMs Epsilon platform and featuring far more GM-supplied componentry. The Gen1 9-3 came in three guises: four-door Saloon (sedan), two-door Cabriolet convertible and five-door Hatchback. Its Gen2 successor offered Saloon, Cabriolet and SportCombi estate car formats, powered by engines ranging from the 2.0-litre petrol Turbo and 1.9 TiD diesel to the 2.6-litre petrol V6 and the 1.9 TTiD twin-turbo diesel. Stunningly illustrated with over 250 images many previously unseen Saab 9-3 includes specially commissioned photography of the high-performance Viggen model, factory archive images, an interview with heroic rallycross legend Per Eklund and a Foreword by Saab insider and photojournalist Kenneth Olausson. It recounts Saabs final decade as a car manufacturer through the development of the 9-3 until its abandonment in 2011 by General Motors, and its brief rebirth as an electric vehicle under NEVS (National Electric Vehicle Sweden), which lingered intermittently until 2022.
