Book excerpt: Odświeżone, drugie wydanie kultowej powieści Glukhovsky’ego - teraz z jego Ewangelią według Artema! Czy kiedykolwiek przyszło ci do głowy, że ostatni epizod historii cywilizacji człowieka rozegra się w przejmującej atmosferze moskiewskiego metra? Czy człowiek, który w marzeniach sięgał gwiazd, godzien jest skończyć jak szczur, sto metrów pod ziemią? Mało prawdopodobne? Po przeczytaniu Metra 2033 - rosyjskiego, kultowego już bestsellera, który zawładnął wyobraźnią ponad dwuipółmilionowej rzeszy czytelników - na pewno zmienisz zdanie. Ten thriller SF, którego wartka akcja i niezwykle sugestywnie przedstawiony świat nie pozwolą ci się od niego oderwać aż do ostatniej strony, to nie tylko wspaniała rozrywka i uczta dla czytelnika. To także portret człowieka u schyłku cywilizacji, to przejmująca analiza jego niezmiennej natury. To obraz świata po końcu świata. Rok 2033. W wyniku konfliktu atomowego świat uległ zagładzie. Ocaleli tylko nieliczni, chroniący się w moskiewskim metrze, które dzięki unikalnej konstrukcji stało się najprawdopodobniej ostatnim przyczółkiem ludzkości. Na mrocznych stacjach, rozświetlanych światłami awaryjnymi i blaskiem ognisk, ludzie ci próbują wieść życie zbliżone do tego sprzed katastrofy. Tworzą mikropaństwa spajane ideologią, religią czy po prostu ochroną filtrów wodnych... Zawierają sojusze, toczą wojny. WOGN to wysunięta najbardziej na północ zamieszkała stacja metra. Kiedyś była jedną z najpiękniejszych, a po zagładzie przez długi czas pozostawała bezpieczna. Teraz pojawiło się na niej śmiertelne niebezpieczeństwo. Artem, młody mężczyzna z WOGN-u, otrzymuje zadanie: musi przedostać się do legendarnej stacji Polis, serca moskiewskiego metra, aby przekazać ostrzeżenie o nowym niebezpieczeństwie. Od powodzenia jego misji zależy przyszłość nie tylko peryferyjnej stacji, ale być może całej ocalałej w metrze ludzkości. KSIĄŻKA ZAWIERA PLAN MOSKIEWSKIEGO METRA A.D. 2033 W WYSOKIEJ ROZDZIELCZOŚCI.

Download New Media in New Europe-Asia PDF Format Full by Jeremy Morris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an in-depth investigation of the role of new media in the political, social and cultural life in the region of Europe-Asia. By focusing on new media, which is understood primarily as internet-enabled networked social practice, the book puts forward a political and cultural redefinition of the region which is determined by the recognition of the diversity of new media uses in the countries included in the study. This book focuses on the period prior to the advent of ‘world internet revolutions’, and it registers the region at its pivotal moment—at the time of its entry into the post-broadcast era. Does the Internet aid democratisation or it conditioned by socio-political norms? Has the Internet changed politics or has it had to fit existing political structures? Has the use of digital technologies revolutionized election campaigns? How is hyperlinked society different from society prior to the advent of the web? How do ordinary people actually use the Internet. These and other pressing questions – crucial to understanding the post-socialist world – are investigated in the current volume. This book was published as a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies.

This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written from a feminist perspective, uses the focus of duelling to discuss the nature of masculinity in Russia. It traces the development of duelling and masculinity historically from the time of Peter the Great onwards, considers how duelling and masculinity have been represented in both literature and film and assesses the high emphasis given in Soviet times to gender equality, arguing that this was a failed experiment that ran counter to Russian tradition. It examines how duelling continues to be a feature of life in contemporary Russia and relates the situation in Russia to wider scholarship on the nature of masculinity more generally. Overall, the book contends that Russia’s valuing of a strong, militaristic form of masculinity is a major problem.

Download Images of the Anthropocene in Speculative Fiction PDF Format Full by Tereza Dědinová and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to demonstrate that speculative fiction provides a valuable contribution to the discussion about the challenges of the Anthropocene, Images of the Anthropocene in Speculative Fiction investigates a range of novels whose subject matter pertains to various aspects of the Anthropocene. These include the destruction and protection of the natural environment, the relationship between human and non-human inhabitants of the planet, the role of myth in the shaping of and combat against the Anthropocene, the political dimensions of the Anthropocene, the ensuing threat of the Apocalypse, and the role of post-apocalyptic narratives. To explore these topics our authors examine the works of Patricia Briggs, M.R. Carey, Dmitry Glukhovsky, Ursula K. Le Guin, N.K. Jemisin, Stephenie Meyer, China Miéville, James Patterson, Maggie Stiefvater, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Scott Westfield. Their essays demonstrate that speculative fiction, given its ability to pursue scenarios of alternative history and present familiar things in an unfamiliar way, can alter the readers’ perception of their duties and responsibilities towards their communities and the world, so that the threat of human-wrought destruction might ultimately be averted.

Book excerpt: THE OUTPOST THE METRO 2033 SAGA COMES TO AMERICA From the mastermind of the world-famous post-apocalyptic METRO saga Dmitry Glukhovsky - now a new story set in America! It's been decades since the Last War ravaged the entire Earth, devastating cities, wiping out entire nations and decimating the mankind. While on the other end of the planet the few survivors are hiding in the tunnels of subway, back in America it's the age of Frontier again. Those who made it from nuclear flames of enemies' bombs and survived pandemics that followed have found their only refuge in the Outposts - fortresses constructed on America's only remaining road - the railway. The Outpost of Plattsburgh sits on the frontier of great wastelands, on the very edge of darkness. And out of this darkness, anything can come, lured by the light and the human warmth... Janis is just seventeen. All she dreams about is to hop onboard of an ironclad train and run away to the flourishing South - and start a new life there. She's free to go - and yet she's tied to the Outpost forever...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First English U.S. PREMIUM HARDCOVER Edition of the cult dystopia "METRO 2033". * * * Metro 2033 tells the story of a young man named Artyom who goes a long way to save his world from mortal danger. The book describes the consequences of an atomic war. Its only survivors strive for existence in the mazes of the Moscow subway (Metro) some two decades after the nuclear Holocaust. Formally a sci-fi novel, Metro 2033 describes a dystopia, in which Russia's present-day society is superficially analyzed and described. It also critically examines communism in the former Soviet Union and the rise of fascism in modern Russia. Over 2,000,000 copies of Metro 2033 have been sold worldwide. Foreign book rights have been sold to more than 37 countries. The franchise gave birth to two cult video games, Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light. Film rights were optioned by MGM Studios in Hollywood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for their visibility and tendency to generate controversy, first-person shooter (FPS) games are cultural icons and powder-kegs in American society. Contributors will examine a range of FPS games such as the Doom, Half-Life, System Shock, Deus Ex, Halo, Medal of Honor and Call of Duty franchises. By applying and enriching a broad range of perspectives, this volume will address the cultural relevance and place of the genre in game studies, game theory and the cultures of game players. Guns, Grenades, and Grunts gathers scholars from all disciplines to bring the weight of contemporary social theory and media criticism to bear on the public controversy and intellectual investigation of first-person shooter games. As a genre, FPS games have helped shepherd the game industry from the early days of shareware distribution and underground gaming clans to contemporary multimillion dollar production budgets, Hollywood-style launches, downloadable content and worldwide professional gaming leagues. The FPS has been and will continue to be a staple of the game market.
