The Cossacks Love, Duty, and Traditional Values in the Caucasus: A Tale of the Cossacks【電子書籍】[ Leo Tolstoy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Cossacks," Leo Tolstoy explores the complexities of identity and the clash between civilization and nature through the eyes of Olenin, a disillusioned young nobleman who ventures into the wild landscapes of the Caucasus. The narrative is infused with lyrical descriptions and vivid portrayals of Cossack life, artfully weaving together themes of freedom, honor, and cultural divergence. Tolstoy'??s early foray into realism is marked by a keen sociopolitical awareness and a philosophical undercurrent, revealing the tensions inherent in personal aspiration against the backdrop of communal existence. Tolstoy, deeply influenced by his own existential struggles and a yearning for authenticity, drew upon his experiences in the Russian military and his encounters with Cossack communities. The novel reveals his fascination with the simplicity and stark beauty of Cossack life, as well as a critique of aristocratic society. Through Olenin'??s journey, Tolstoy grapples with the search for meaning and belonging in a rapidly changing world, a theme that would resonate throughout his literary oeuvre. "The Cossacks" is a profound exploration of the human condition that invites readers to reflect on their own lives against the dichotomies of civilization and wilderness. Tolstoy'??s rich narrative and philosophical insights make this work a compelling read for anyone interested in the roots of his later masterpieces, as well as the timeless questions of self-discovery and cultural identity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

Our Little Cossack Cousin【電子書籍】[ F. A. Postnikov ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The name Cossacks is given to a large part of the Russian population. These people are endowed with special privileges in return for specific military service. They are of different racial origin. There are ten separate voiskos, settled along the frontiers, those of the Don, Kuban, Terek, Astrakan, Ural, Orenburg, Siberian, Semir-yechensk, Amur, and Ussuri. These differ in many respects, though with a similar military organization, the primary unit of which is the stanitsa or administrative village. The historical Cossacks are those of the Don and of the Dnieper Rivers in Russia, of whom it has been said that they were "originally passionate lovers of freedom who went forth to find it in the wilderness." The other Cossack divisions have been patterned after these by the Government. In the later sections the military spirit and the old Cossack traditions are carefully fostered. Our book deals with the Ussuri Cossacks of Siberia, among whom Colonel Postnikov lived for many years, both as an officer and as a civil engineer. Although the story is written in the first person, it is in no sense an autobiography of the author, who was born in western Russia. Besides the country around Ussuri River, other sections of Siberia and other classes of people than the Cossacks are described incidentally. In the spelling of Russian names, an endeavor has been made to give some idea of the actual pronunciation.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 640円

Destroyer Cossack Detailed in the Original Builders' Plans【電子書籍】[ John Roberts ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The technical details of British warships were recorded in a set of plans produced by the builders on completion of every ship. Known as the ‘as fitted’ general arrangements, these drawings represented the exact appearance and fitting of the ship as it entered service. Intended to provide a permanent reference for the Admiralty and the dockyards, these highly detailed plans were drawn with exquisite skill in multi-coloured inks and washes that represent the acme of the draughtsman’s art.</p> <p>Today they form part of the incomparable collection of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, which is using the latest scanning technology to make digital copies of the highest quality. This book is one of a series based entirely on these draughts which depict famous warships in an unprecedented degree of detail ? complete sets in full colour, with many close-ups and enlargements that make every aspect clear and comprehensible. Extensive captions point the reader to important features to be found in the plans, and an introduction covers the background to the design.</p> <p>The subject of this volume is one of the famous ‘Tribal’ class, large destroyers intended to substitute for cruisers in many roles. Their complicated evolution is fully covered for the first time, with plans of the different proposals and alternatives considered, along with an outstanding collection of detail drawings ranging from magazine arrangements to a view of the variations in upper deck fittings across the whole class. Wartime modifications are also included. <em>Cossack</em> was the obvious choice to represent the class, not just because of her well-known exploits like boarding the German supply ship <em>Altmark</em> in 1940, but also because the technical documentation of the ship is particularly rich, much of which is reproduced in this volume.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,494円

These stories, notable for their blend of realism and fantasy, delve into themes of identity, spirituality, and the harsh realities of life in the Ukrainian steppe.

The tales are imbued with a sense of the supernatural, revealing the deep-seated beliefs and customs of a community often caught between tradition and modernity. Gogol, a pivotal figure in Russian literature, was born to a Ukrainian family, which profoundly influenced his understanding and portrayal of Cossack life. His experiences in the region, coupled with his deep appreciation for Ukrainian folklore, provided him with a diverse tapestry of characters and themes. Trained in law and immersed in literary circles, Gogol brought a multifaceted perspective to his work, often highlighting the absurdities of bureaucracy and social norms within his stories.

Anton Chekhov - The Cossack & Other Short Stories (Volume 1)【電子書籍】[ Anton Chekhov ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
The short story is often viewed as an inferior relation to the Novel. But it is an art in itself. To take a story and distil its essence into fewer pages while keeping character and plot rounded and driven is not an easy task. Many try and many fail. A widespread favourite of scholars, critics and causal readers alike, Anton Chekhov is one of the most challenging and enjoyable authors to read. Both a doctor and writer, Chekhov initially had little interest in literature, writing predominantly as a source of income. As recognition of his talents spread so his ambition grew he began to assert itself and history now acknowledges him as the greatest short story writer of all time.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 301円

Imperial Boundaries Cossack Communities and Empire-Building in the Age of Peter the Great【電子書籍】[ Brian J. Boeck ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Imperial Boundaries is a study of imperial expansion and local transformation on Russia's Don Steppe frontier during the age of Peter the Great. Brian Boeck connects the rivalry of the Russian and Ottoman empires in the northern Black Sea basin to the social history of the Don Cossacks, who were transformed from an open, democratic, multiethnic, male fraternity dedicated to frontier raiding into a closed, ethnic community devoted to defending and advancing the boundaries of the Russian state. He shows how by promoting border patrol, migration control, bureaucratic regulation of cross-border contacts and deportation of dissidents, Peter I destroyed the world of the old steppe and created a new imperial Cossack order in its place. In examining this transformation, Imperial Boundaries addresses key historical issues of imperial expansion, the delegitimization of non-state violence, the construction of borders, and the encroaching boundaries of state authority in the lives of local communities.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 6,065円

The Cossack Myth History and Nationhood in the Age of Empires【電子書籍】[ Serhii Plokhy ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the years following the Napoleonic Wars, a mysterious manuscript began to circulate among the dissatisfied noble elite of the Russian Empire. Entitled The History of the Rus', it became one of the most influential historical texts of the modern era. Attributed to an eighteenth-century Orthodox archbishop, it described the heroic struggles of the Ukrainian Cossacks. Alexander Pushkin read the book as a manifestation of Russian national spirit, but Taras Shevchenko interpreted it as a quest for Ukrainian national liberation, and it would inspire thousands of Ukrainians to fight for the freedom of their homeland. Serhii Plokhy tells the fascinating story of the text's discovery and dissemination, unravelling the mystery of its authorship and tracing its subsequent impact on Russian and Ukrainian historical and literary imagination. In so doing he brilliantly illuminates the relationship between history, myth, empire and nationhood from Napoleonic times to the fall of the Soviet Union.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,313円

National awakening and nationalism of the Ukrainian nation from Cossack time to the beginning of the 20th century【電子書籍】[ Nico Rausch ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - Political Systems - History, grade: 1,3, Vilnius University, 7 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: To describe the Ukrainian nationalism I will also use the famous concept from the Czech historian Hroch who is dividing the national movements into three phases. Phase 1) cultural awakening- a small group of educated people develops an interest in language, history and folklore of an ethnic group. Phase 2) national agitation- the implementation of national consciousness into a wider circle of the population in order to mobilize them and to integrate them into a national community which will lead to Phase 3) mass movement with its goal of political autonomy (Hroch in Kappeler 2001/ Weeks 1996). The case of Ukraine is in this sense not very easy to look at because of several events, in form of national policies of two influential Empires. Another interesting theoretical point of view is the distinction between 'ancient' and 'young' nations and their prospects to form a successful national movement. The former having a tradition of a national elite, and high culture, and the latter not. Young nations also have an incomplete social structure and almost no urban middle class. They also are fighting first primarily against the foreign elite and less against the state. The main aim is to create firstly a high culture of their own. Ukraine is seen as such a 'small' or 'young' nation (Kappeler 2001). I will describe Ukrainian nationalism in the context of modernization and mobilization through social, economic and political changes as well as on special events that might had a greater impact on the Ukrainian nationalism. The time period covered in this paper will be from the starting point of pre-historical Ukrainian 'nation' to the reenactment of the above described third phase of national mass movement.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,628円

Stories of Khmelnytsky Competing Literary Legacies of the 1648 Ukrainian Cossack Uprising【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the middle of the seventeenth century, Bohdan Khmelnytsky was the legendary Cossack general who organized a rebellion that liberated the Eastern Ukraine from Polish rule. Consequently, he has been memorialized in the Ukraine as a God-given nation builder, cut in the model of George Washington. But in this campaign, the massacre of thousands of Jews perceived as Polish intermediaries was the collateral damage, and in order to secure the tentative independence, Khmelnytsky signed a treaty with Moscow, ultimately ceding the territory to the Russian tsar. So, was he a liberator or a villain? This volume examines drastically different narratives, from Ukrainian, Jewish, Russian, and Polish literature, that have sought to animate, deify, and vilify the seventeenth-century Cossack. Khmelnytsky's legacy, either as nation builder or as antagonist, has inhibited inter-ethnic and political rapprochement at key moments throughout history and, as we see in recent conflicts, continues to affect Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish, and Russian national identity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 11,458円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Cossacks: A Tale of 1852," Leo Tolstoy invites readers into a richly drawn narrative that captures the complexities of Cossack society amidst the backdrop of the Russian Empire. Through the eyes of Olenin, a disillusioned aristocrat, Tolstoy masterfully juxtaposes the simplicity of Cossack life with the moral and existential dilemmas faced by modern man. The novel'??s lyrical prose, interspersed with vivid descriptions of the Russian landscape, reflects Tolstoy'??s deep engagement with themes of identity, cultural conflict, and the search for authenticity. Written during a tumultuous period in Russian history, it underscores the tension between civilization and nature, revealing Tolstoy'??s fascination with the Cossacks as a symbol of untamed freedom. Leo Tolstoy, one of the most influential authors in world literature, penned "The Cossacks" after experiencing life among the Cossacks in the Caucasus region. This immersion fueled his exploration of grief and belonging, echoing his own internal struggles with status and meaning. The book marks an essential transition in Tolstoy'??s artistic journey, as he began to prioritize themes of human morality and existential purpose over social critique. This novel is recommended for readers interested in exploring the complexities of human existence and the search for meaning against societal constraints. Tolstoy's nuanced portrayal of the Cossacks not only enriches our understanding of Russian culture but also speaks to universal dilemmas of love, duty, and the longing for a life authentic to one'??s principles.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

The Khotyn Campaign of 1621 Polish, Lithuanian and Cossack Armies versus might of the Ottoman Empire【電子書籍】[ Micha? Paradowski ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In autumn 1621, at a fortified camp near Khotyn (Chocim), in the Principality of Moldavia, allied Polish, Lithuanian and Cossack armies faced a large Ottoman army led by Sultan Osman II. It was the concluding act of a war that had started with the defeat of a Polish army at Cecora one year earlier. As such it was actually part of the longer conflict, waged over the Commonwealth’s and the Ottoman’s influence over Moldavia. Throughout the whole of September and the first half of October 1621, the allied army managed to defend their camps against Turks, with both sides taking heavy losses from the hardship of the siege operations and worsening weather conditions. The conflict ended with the Treaty of Khotyn (9 October 1621) which did not particularly favor either of the sides. All the same, stopping the Ottoman was seen as a huge success for the Commonwealth, while attitudes on the Ottoman sides were far from victorious. The aftershock of the war led to the rebellion of janissaries in 1622, resulting in the overthrow and murder of Sultan Osman II.</p> <p>The book focuses on the Khotyn campaign of 1621, describing the day-by-day actions of the combatant armies ? assaults, sallies and raids ? during the whole of the siege. Additional theaters of war, such as Cossack operations from the summer of 1621 and Tatars raids against the Polish interior, are described as well. The reader will also find here details of the organization and strength of the fighting armies, information about the battle dispositions of the troops at Khotyn and commanders leading the troops. Actions leading to the outbreak of the open conflict between the Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire are explained in a separate chapter, providing a good historical background of the war. Another chapter covers the outcome of the war and the ways that influenced the internal and external situation of both the Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire.</p> <p>As with his previous works, the author has utilized a large number of primary sources: from the diaries of soldiers taking part in the campaign, through chronicles, official letters and documents from the period to army musters. Among the documents used are not only those written by Poles and Lithuanians, but also documents from Cossacks, Germans and Ottomans. Modern works, especially from Polish and Ukrainian historians, have also been used, in order to provide the most up-to-date and in-depth research. As this topic has previously not had much coverage in English, this book will be a valuable addition to the library of anyone interested in the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in Zaporozhian Cossacks and in the Ottoman Empire in the early seventeenth century.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,170円

White Terror Cossack Warlords of the Trans-Siberian【電子書籍】[ Jamie Bisher ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This is the gripping story of a forgotten Russia in turmoil, when the line between government and organized crime blurred into a chaotic continuum of kleptocracy, vengeance and sadism.</p> <p>It tells the tale of how, in the last days of 1917, a fugitive Cossack captain brashly led seven cohorts into a mutinous garrison at Manchuli, a squalid bordertown on Russia's frontier with Manchuria. The garrison had gone Red, revolted against its officers, and become a dangerous, ill-disciplined mob.</p> <p>Nevertheless, Cossack Captain Grigori Semionov cleverly harangued the garrison into laying down its arms and boarding a train that carried it back into the Bolsheviks' tenuous territory. Through such bold action, Semionov and a handful of young Cossack brethren established themselves as the warlords of Eastern Siberia and Russia's Pacific maritime provinces during the next bloody year. Like inland pirates, they menaced the Trans-Siberian Railroad with fleets of armoured trains, Cossack cavalry, mercenaries and pressgang cannon fodder. They undermined Admiral Kolchak's White armies, ruthlessly liquidated all Reds, terrorized the population, sold out to the Japanese, and antagonized the American Expeditionary Force and Czech Legion in a frenzied orchestration of the Russian Empire's gotterdammerung. Historians have long recognized that Ataman Semionov and Company were a nasty lot. This book details precisely how nasty they were.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 10,445円

Paul Sanderson, a thoroughgoing young Victorian gentleman, is having a high old time with a regiment of Don Cossacks, fighting, raping, pillaging and burning in the time-honored manner, when he is recalled to England to inherit a dukedom. Soon he is on his travels again, this time to the Territory of New Mexico where the old Duke had bought but never taken up the Three Barbs ranch.

About the Author: Lester Taube was born of Russian and Lithuanian immigrants in Trenton, New Jersey. He began soldiering in a horse artillery regiment while in his teens, where in four years he rose from the grade of private to the exalted rank of private first class. During World War II, he became an infantry platoon leader and participated in operations in the Bismarck Archipelago, was attached to the 3rd Marines for action on Iwo Jima, and finally combat on Okinawa, the last battle of the war. After leaving the army and recuperating from wounds and malaria, he became general manager of a 400 employee electronic company in California, manager of a 450 employee paper stock company in Pennsylvania, and finally opened a logging and pulpwood cutting operation in Canada. Called back to duty during the Korea Police Action, he served as an advisor to the Turkish army, then as an intelligence officer and company commander in Korea.

Prior to retirement as a full colonel, he moved to a small village in the mountains of North Tyrol, Austria, and kept a boat for five years on the C?te dAzur, France. He began writing novels while in France, and after producing four books, which were published in a number of countries, and selling two for motion pictures, he stopped - as there was heavy soldiering to do and children to raise. Returning to the U.S. after 13 years overseas, he worked as an economic development specialist for the State of New Jersey helping companies move to New Jersey or expand therein. He has four children, all born in different countries.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 301円
