Russian Notions of Power and State in a European Perspective, 1462-1725
This book highlights the main features and trends of Russian
\"political\" thought in an era when sovereignty, state, and
politics, as understood in Western Christendom, were non-existent
in Russia, or were only beginning to be articulated. It
concentrates on enigmatic authors and sources that shaped official
perception of rulership, or marked certain changes of importance of
this perception. Special emphasis is given to those written and
visual sources that point towards depersonalization and
secularization of rulership in Russia. A comparison with Western
Christendom frames the argument throughout the book, both in terms
of ideas and the practical aspects of state-building, allowing the
reader to ponder Russia's differentia specifica .

The collected Peter Pan
'To die will be an awfully big adventure.' Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up, is one of the immortals of children's literature. J. M. Barrie first created Peter Pan as a baby, living in secret with the birds and fairies in the middle of London, but as the children for whom he invented the stories grew older, so too did Peter, reappearing in Neverland, where he was aided in his epic battles with Red Indians and pirates by the motherly and resourceful Wendy Darling. Peter Pan has become a cultural icon and symbol for escapism and innocence, remaining popular with both children and adults. In this collected edition, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst brings together five of the main versions of the Peter Pan story, from Peter Pan's first appearance in The Little White Bird, to his novelisation of the story, the stage version, and unrealised silent film script. This edition contains a lively introduction, detailed explanatory notes, original illustrations, and appendices that include Barrie's coda to the play that was only performed once.

The Image of Peter the Great in Russian History and Thought
The image of Peter the Great casts a long shadow in modern Russian thought and culture. As important to modern Russia as the French Revolution is to France and the Reformation is to Germany, the image of this militaristic ruler, founder of St Petersburg, and czar of all Russia from 1689-1725 has been central to Russian history, literature, and art since the early 1700s.Riasanovsky, one of the foremost historians of Russia, traces the development of this image from 1700 to the present. Drawing examples from Russian historical accounts, literature, folklore, and the arts, he shows how the use of the image of Peter has reflected the changing cultural and political values of the Russian people.
