DOWNLOAD EBOOKHelen Suzman was the voice of South Africa's conscience during the darkest days of apartheid. She stood alone in parliament, confronted by a legion of highly chauvinist male politicians. Armed with the relentless determination and biting wit for which she became renowned, Suzman battled the racist regime and earned her reputation as a legendary anti-apartheid campaigner. Despite constant antagonism and the threat of violence, she forced into the global spotlight the injustices of the country's minority rule. Access to Suzman's papers, including her unpublished correspondence with Nelson Mandela, was granted by her family to the author, former British ambassador to South Africa Robin Renwick, who has penned a book rich with examples of her humour and political brilliance. This first full biography goes beyond her famous struggle against apartheid into her criticisms of the post-apartheid government. It is a fascinating insight into the life of a truly great South African and her role in one of the most important struggles in modern history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRabindranath Tagore's 'The King of the Dark Chamber' is a play that delves into themes of love, power, and self-realization. Tagore's lyrical and poetic writing style, characteristic of his other works, adds a timeless quality to the play. Set in a mythical kingdom, the play follows the story of a princess who falls in love with a mysterious man hidden away in a dark chamber. As their love unfolds, the audience is taken on a journey of discovery and enlightenment. Tagore's use of symbolism and metaphor enriches the literary context of the play, making it a profound and thought-provoking read. As a Nobel laureate in Literature, Rabindranath Tagore's deep understanding of human emotions and relationships shines through in 'The King of the Dark Chamber'. His own experiences with love and spiritual awakening likely influenced the creation of this timeless piece. Tagore's unique perspective as a philosopher and poet adds depth to the characters and themes explored in the play. I highly recommend 'The King of the Dark Chamber' to readers who appreciate poetic and philosophical works that explore the complexities of love and self-discovery. Tagore's masterpiece offers a captivating narrative that will linger in the reader's mind long after the final act.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Literature. J. M. Coetzee presents a coherent, unorthodox analysis of censorship from the perspective of one who has lived and worked under its shadow. The essays collected here attempt to understand the passion that plays itself out in acts of silencing and censoring. He argues that a destructive dynamic of belligerence and escalation tends to overtake the rivals in any field ruled by censorship. From Osip Mandelstam commanded to compose an ode in praise of Stalin, to Breyten Breytenbach writing poems under and for the eyes of his prison guards, to Aleksander Solzhenitsyn engaging in a trial of wits with the organs of the Soviet state, Giving Offense focuses on the ways authors have historically responded to censorship. It also analyzes the arguments of Catharine MacKinnon for the suppression of pornography and traces the operations of the old South African censorship system. "The most impressive feature of Coetzee's essays, besides his ear for language, is his coolheadedness. He can dissect repugnant notions and analyze volatile emotions with enviable poise."—Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "Those looking for simple, ringing denunciations of censorship's evils will be disappointed. Coetzee explicitly rejects such noble tritenesses. Instead . . . he pursues censorship's deeper, more fickle meanings and unmeanings."—Kirkus Reviews "These erudite essays form a powerful, bracing criticism of censorship in its many guises."—Publishers Weekly "Giving Offense gets its incisive message across clearly, even when Coetzee is dealing with such murky theorists as Bakhtin, Lacan, Foucault, and René; Girard. Coetzee has a light, wry sense of humor."—Bill Marx, Hungry Mind Review "An extraordinary collection of essays."—Martha Bayles, New York Times Book Review "A disturbing and illuminating moral expedition."—Richard Eder, Los Angeles Times Book Review
