Sinopsis

This anthology explores the rich tapestry of themes that define the Russian literary canon: existential angst, the quest for social justice, the complexities of human relationships, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. The diversity of literary styles—ranging from the psychological depth of Dostoevsky to Chekhov's subtle realism and Tolstoy's epic narratives—illustrates the breadth and depth of Russian storytelling. This collection stands as a testament to the enduring power of these narratives in understanding the human condition. The contributing authors and editors of this anthology are not only central figures in the Russian literary tradition but also pivotal players in the historical, cultural, and social movements of their time.Drawing from personal experiences shaped by the socio-political landscapes of their respective eras, their collective works presented in this anthology provide a panoramic view of Russian society through its various stages of evolution. The convergence of such disparate voices around common themes not only highlights the universality of these concerns but also provides a rich multidisciplinary context for exploring the intersections of literature, history, and philosophy.Reserving a space on one's bookshelf for 'The Best Russian Plays and Short Stories' promises an unparalleled journey through the heart and soul of Russia, as seen through the eyes of its most celebrated writers. It invites readers not only to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of its writings but also to engage with the intellectual rigor and emotional depth that these works demand. This anthology serves as a crucial bridge connecting the reader to the vast landscape of Russian thought and emotion, offering a unique opportunity to explore the confluence of history, culture, and individual psyche that continues to resonate with the universal themes of humanity.

    Forgiveness Redefined is Candice Mama's honest and healing story. It tells how she found ways to deal with the death of her father, Glenack Masilo Mama, and to forgive the notorious apartheid assassin Eugene de Kock, the man responsible for his brutal murder.
    We follow Candice's journey of discovering how her father died, how this affected her and how she battled the demons of depression before the age of sixteen. But most importantly, we follow her journey towards beating the odds and rising above her heartbreaks.
    Candice Mama is today still under the age of 30, but has been named as one of Vogue Paris' most inspiring women alongside glittering names such as Michelle Obama. She has taken backstage selfies with music crooner Seal and travels all over the world to talk about her journey. This bubbly, inspiring young author tells how she shed some of the worst layers of grief and became an inspiration for others.
    We learn about her perplexing, unconventional childhood, her search for identity, and the beautiful bond she formed, posthumously, with a father she never had the opportunity to get to know in person.
    She also tells, in her own words, about the life-changing encounter between her family and her father's killer.
    Candice tenderly opens up about the result of the trauma of her father's death on her entire family, and meeting her mother for the first time at the age of four. She tells about the confusing, yet fascinating, dynamics that later unfolded as she discovered pieces of herself, rediscovered relationships with her own family and came to forgiveness and understanding.
    This book serves as inspiration for other young – and older – people to look at their own stories through different lenses. Candice's experiences are not unique, and she offers healing thoughts to others who suffered similar trauma by sharing the details of her own story.
    Forgiveness Redefined is a touching, personal story by a young woman who learned too early about pain, loss and rejection – but who also learned how to overcome those burdens and live joyfully.
