Little Zaches is a grotesquely ugly child, abandoned by his repulsed mother. The mysterious fairy tries to make him beautiful but cannot; instead, the spirit provides Zaches with magic hairs that make others perceive him as handsome, intelligent, and charming. Zaches grows to be conceited and filled with self-importance, though his false transformation is only superficial... This book is a condensed and simplified version of Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann’s work «Little Zaches called Zinnober» (ger. «Klein Zaches, genannt Zinnober»). The text of the fairy tale is adapted for easier perception by young children and is intended to become an early acquaintance with classics of world literature.

Is it possible to cultivate fundamental human values if you live in a totalitarian state? A teacher who instigates the school theatre sets out to prove that it is. But while the pupils rehearse Shakespeare’s tragedies and comedies under her ever-vigilant eye, Soviet life makes its brutal adjustments. This can be called a book about love, the tough kind of love that gets you through life, and death. Little Zinnobers is especially fascinating for British readers as we see Shakespeare’s famous sonnets and plays are touchingly brought to life by the Russian children and their gifted teacher, the novel’s heroine. The teacher applies some of the playwright’s satire to the socio-political situation of the USSR, using her English lessons to teach her students life’s broader lessons, too. Echoes of the Soviet Union can be felt in our own society today: the people find themselves increasingly at odds with the politicians’ hypocrisy, ‘big brother’ is watching us through thousands of CCTVs, and political correctness determines what we can and cannot say. It is these subtle undercurrents which help make Chizhova’s novel particularly pertinent to today’s readership. Apart from being a magnificently written, first-rate story, Little Zinnobers is unique in that it goes beyond the realm of politics or fiction to shed a new light on the relevance of British literary heritage today. Published with the support of the Institute for Literary Translation, Russia.

The essays in this collection exemplify the relevance of bonds and borders in literature and contribute each in their own individual ways to the discourse between literary studies and Border studies. The scope of contributions ranges from revisiting older works from colonial times to discovering current narratives in post-9/11 literature; from the search for a national identity in Welsh poetry to self-transformation and the trans-cultural journeys of individuals in the literature of migration; and from the cosmopolitanism of Black Britain to gendered readings of Arab-American war narratives. Although not conceived and/or constructed as a whole, this collection gains particularly through disunity: topics cross over where one would least expect them to; borders are trespassed in order to give rise to new ideas and points of study. These essays by young researchers from a variety of disciplines and geographical backgrounds effectively work as a unit to dissect, subvert, challenge, or perhaps validate pre-conceived understandings of identity in an international society. They present a polydialectic approach to Literature and the supposedly borderless society of the Western world and its profound impact on individual identity.

Black Banners, written in 1904, is August Strindberg's last major novel of social criticism. It embodies an attack on the decadence and immorality he perceived in the literary circles and cultural life of Stockholm at the turn of twentieth century and led to the so-called «Strindberg Feud». It is considered by many to be the most notorious roman à clef in Swedish literature and it occasioned the greatest scandal of a career marked by controversy.

A German author of fantasy and Gothic horror, E. T. A. Hoffmann wrote original and spine-chilling tales that highly influenced nineteenth-century literature, confirming his status as one of the major authors of the Romantic movement. His story ‘Das Fräulein von Scuder’ is often cited as the first detective story and his novella ‘The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’ went on to inspire Tchaikovsky's celebrated ballet. Hoffmann was a pioneer of the fantasy genre, with a taste for the macabre combined with realism that influenced such authors as Poe, Gogol, Dickens, Baudelaire, Dostoevsky and Kafka.

Hoffmann's stories highly influenced 19th-century literature, and he is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement. Hoffmann is one of the best-known representatives of German Romanticism, and a pioneer of the fantasy genre, with a taste for the macabre combined with realism that influenced such authors as Edgar Allan Poe, Nikolai Gogol, Charles Dickens, Charles Baudelaire, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Franz Kafka and Alfred Hitchcock. Hoffmann's work makes a considerable contribution to our understanding of the emergence of scientific knowledge in the early years of the nineteenth century and to the conflict between science and magic, centred mainly on the 'truths' available to the advocates of either practice. The Novels: 1. The Devil’s Elixirs 2. Little Zaches 3. Master Flea The Tales: 4. The Serapion Brethren 5. Weird Tales 6. Miscellaneous Tales
