Арундати Рой - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

Первый за двадцать лет роман Арундати Рой приглашает нас в далекое путешествие – в тесноту Старого Дели и сияющие торговые ряды нового центра метрополии, к снежным вершинам и долинам Кашмира и лесам Центральной Индии, где война – это мир, а мир – это война, и где время от времени «объявляют», что наступила «нормальная жизнь». «Министерство наивысшего счастья» – это разом история мучительной любви и решительного протеста. Она рассказывается то шепотом, то во весь голос, то сквозь слезы, а то порой и со смехом. Герои ее – сломленные миром люди, которые были спасены и излечены любовью и надеждой. И потому они столь же тверды, сколь и…

In late 2014, Arundhati Roy, John Cusack, and Daniel Ellsberg travelled to Moscow to meet with NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The result was a series of essays and dialogues in which Roy and Cusack reflect on their conversations with Snowden.

In these provocative and penetrating discussions, Roy and Cusack discuss the nature of the state, empire, and surveillance in an era of perpetual war, the meaning of flags and patriotism, the role of foundations and NGOs in limiting dissent, and the ways in which capital but not people can freely cross borders.

"?lima ?nnelikkuse kogudus" on k?rgelt premeeritud "V?ikeste Asjade Jumala" autori teine romaan, kahe teose vahele j??b peaaegu t?pselt 20 aastat ja selle raamatu ilmumist peetakse ?heks k?esoleva aasta olulisematest kirjanduss?ndmustest maailmas.
See on kriipiv armastuslugu, lugu v?itlusest ja eluj??misest, jutustatud kord sosinal, kord karjudes, tihti l?bi ausate pisarate ja vahel kibedalt naerdes. Pea k?ik selle romaani arvukad kangelased on inimesed, kelle nende koduks olev maailm on murdnud, aga kellel on ?nnestunud p??seda, armastuse ja lootuse l?bi terveks saada. Lugu liigub peamiselt Delhi t?navatel ja Kašmiri vabadusv?itlejate seas, ning on jutustatud harukordse tundlikkusega, nagu Roylt oodata v?ikski.

Bookended by her two award-winning novels, The God of Small Things (1997) and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017), My Seditious Heart collects the work of a two-decade period when Arundhati Roy devoted herself to the political essay as a way of opening up space for justice, rights, and freedoms in an increasingly hostile world. Taken together, the essays speak in a voice of unique spirit, marked by compassion, clarity, and courage. Radical and superbly readable, they speak always in defense of the collective, of the individual and of the land, in the face of the destructive logic of financial, social, religious, military, and…

'What happens once democracy has been used up? When it has been hollowed out and emptied of meaning?'
Combining brilliant insight and razor-sharp prose, Listening to Grasshoppers is Arundhati Roy's essential exploration of the political picture in India today. In these essays she takes a hard look at the underbelly of the world's largest democracy and shows how the journey that Hindu nationalism and neo-liberal economic reforms began together in the early 19

An impassioned manifesto from the author of Booker-winner God of Small Things, one of the most vocal campaigners in the world. India is a nation of 1.2 billion, but the country’s 100 richest people own assets equivalent to one-fourth of India’s gross domestic product. The rest of the population are ghosts within a system beyond their control. This includes the millions that live on less than $2 a day; or the hundreds of thousands of farmers who commit suicide, unable to escape ruinous debts; where dalits are driven from their villages because the owners want to turn the land to agribusiness. These are examples of a ‘gush up’ economy that has corrupted contemporary India. Capitalism: A Ghost Story examines the dark side of democracy, and shows how the demands of globalized capitalism has subjugated billions of people to racism and exploitation. It is a ferocious attack on the mega corporations that treat India’s natural resources like robber barons, and how they have been able to influence every part of the nation from the government to the army in the rush for profit. But, as Arundhati Roy passionately argues, capitalism is in crisis. The cracks are starting to show in its fa?ade.

The chant of 'Azadi!' - Urdu for 'Freedom!' - is the slogan of the freedom struggle in Kashmir against what Kashmiris see as the Indian Occupation. Ironically, it also became the chant of millions on the streets of India against the project of Hindu Nationalism. Even as Arundhati Roy began to ask what lay between these two calls for Freedom - a chasm or a bridge? - the streets fell silent. Not only in India, but all over the world. The Coronavirus brought with it another, more terrible understanding of Azadi, making a nonsense of international borders, incarcerating whole populations, and bringing the modern world to a halt like nothing…
