Following a man she barely knows to a hostile country where she has no friends, Sunja will be forced to make some difficult choices. Her decisions will echo through the decades.Spanning nearly 100 years of history, Pachinko is an unforgettable story of love, sacrifice, ambition and loyalty told through four generations of one family.
Crime and punishment
Seul l'être capable d'indépendance spirituelle est digne des grandes entreprises. Tel Napoléon qui n'hésita pas à ouvrir le feu sur une foule désarmée, Raskolnikov, qui admire le grand homme, se place au-dessus du commun des mortels. Les considérations théoriques qui le poussent à tuer une vieille usurière cohabitent en s'opposant dans l'esprit du héros et constituent l'essence même du roman. Pour Raskolnikov, le crime qu'il va commettre n'est que justice envers les hommes en général et les pauvres qui se sont fait abusés en particulier. « Nous acceptons d'être criminels pour que la terre se couvre enfin d'innocents », écrira Albert Camus. Mais cet idéal d'humanité s'accorde mal avec la conscience de supériorité qui anime le héros, en qualité de « surhomme », il se situe au-delà du bien et du mal. Fomenté avec un sang-froid mêlé de mysticisme, le meurtre tourne pourtant à l'échec. Le maigre butin ne peut satisfaire son idéal de justice, tandis que le crime loin de l'élever de la masse, l'abaisse parmi les hommes. Raskolnikov finira par se rendre et accepter la condamnation, par-là même, il accèdera à la purification. Crime et Châtiment est le roman de la déchéance humaine, l’œuvre essentielle du maître de la littérature russe. — Lenaïc Gravis et Jocelyn Blériot

History of Modern India
The SAGE Series in Modern Indian History consists of well-researched volumes with a wider scope and is intended to bring together the growing volume of historical studies that share a broad common historiographic focus. The approach that the authors have tried to evolve looks sympathetically, though critically, at the Indian national liberation struggle and other popular movements such as those of labour, peasants, lower castes, tribal peoples and women. The series also looks at colonialism as a structure and a system, and analyzes changes in economy, society and culture in the colonial context as also in the context of independent India. It focuses on communalism and casteism as major features of modern Indian development. The volumes in the series will tend to reflect this approach as also its changing and developing features. At the broadest plane this approach is committed to the Enlightenment values of rationalism, humanism, democracy and secularism. This set includes: Volume 1: Independence and Partition: The Erosion of Colonial Power in India by Sucheta Mahajan Volume 2: A Narrative of Communal Politics: Uttar Pradesh, 1937–39 by Salil Misra Volume 3: Imperialism, Nationalism and the Making of the Indian Capitalist Class, 1920–1947 by Aditya Mukherjee Volume 4: From Movement to Government: The Congress in the United Provinces, 1937–42 by Visalakshi Menon Volume 5: Peasants in India’s Non-Violent Revolution: Practice and Theory by Mridula Mukherjee Volume 6: Communalism in Bengal: From Famine to Noakhali, 1943–47 by Rakesh Batabyal Volume 7: Political Mobilization and Identity in Western India, 1934–47 by Shri Krishan Volume 8: The Garrison State: Military, Government and Society in Colonial Punjab, 1849–1947 by Tan Tai Yong Volume 9: Colonializing Agriculture: The Myth of Punjab Exceptionalism by Mridula Mukherjee Volume 10: Region, Nation, “Heartland”: Uttar Pradesh in India’s Body-Politic by Gyanesh Kudaisya Volume 11: National Movement and Politics in Orissa, 1920–29 by Pritish Acharya Volume 12: Commun
