Book excerpt: Presented as a series of letters between the humble copying clerk Devushkin and a distant relative of his, the young Varenka, Poor People brings to the fore the underclass of St Petersburg, who live at the margins of society in the most appalling conditions and abject poverty. As Devushkin tries to help Varenka improve her plight by selling anything he can, he is reduced to even more desperate circumstances and seeks refuge in alcohol, looking on helplessly as the object of his impossible love is taken away from him. Introducing the first in a long line of underground characters, Poor People, Dostoevsky’s first full-length work of fiction, is a poignant, tragi-comic tale which foreshadows the greatness of his later novels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man does not reach his own nature automatically. He bears within himself the possibility of barbarity, the eventuality of humanity, and must therefore choose between the madness of his instincts and the ethereal heights of his intelligence. This is the aim of life. Fleeing his monstrous childhood without forgetting it, he can build a civilized society with other people who have also attained a firmament of compassionate reason. Jean Valjean, the main character of this novel, follows the chaotic path of this human nature. Inhumane creature at the beginning of the book, he slowly turns into a righteous man who understands that his free will can open the gates of wisdom and help other people to become human beings. Ever since the time of Victor Hugo the world has chosen to ignore Jean Valjean's advice. Every day, individual barbarity gains ground, which creates a social hell that will not last forever. I hope the new translation and adaptation of this chef-d'oeuvre will help the readers to change their mind. Literature is the consciousness of nations; the sublime truth of words enlightens the beast: the looking glass sheds light on his cruelty. Reader, you are about to look in the mirror; soon, it is reason, yours, that will prevent you from breaking the truth into pieces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts often assume that the poor, hungry, rural, and/or precarious need external interventions. They frequently fail to recognize how the same people create politics and knowledge by living and honing their own dynamic visions. How might scholars and teachers working in the Global North ethically participate in producing knowledge in ways that connect across different meanings of struggle, hunger, hope, and the good life?Informed by over twenty years of experiences in India and the United States, Hungry Translations bridges these divides with a fresh approach to academic theorizing. Through in-depth reflections on her collaborations with activists, theatre artists, writers, and students, Richa Nagar discusses the ongoing work of building embodied alliances among those who occupy different locations in predominant hierarchies. She argues that such alliances can sensitively engage difference through a kind of full-bodied immersion and translation that refuses comfortable closures or transparent renderings of meanings. While the shared and unending labor of politics makes perfect translation--or retelling--impossible, hungry translations strive to make our knowledges more humble, more tentative, and more alive to the creativity of struggle.
