      • Victorina Press

        Victorina Press was created by  Consuelo Rivera-Fuentes, a Chilean-British writer and academic. We are therefore rooted strongly in Chilean and British cultures. Our mission is to publish inspirational, quality books in the spirit of bibliodiversity, a concept developed by a group of Chilean independent publishers — Editores independientes de Chile. It encourages the celebration of a variety of voices from all over the world and prevents our publishing world from being a monolithic culture. Everyone has a story to tell. We want to be the ones to tell it. Consuelo’s Latin American roots play a huge role in our publishing today, with many of our books being translated into Spanish as stand alone or bilingual publications. Publishing everything from hard-hitting, inspirational memoirs, thrilling YA dystopias, gripping historical fiction, fun early learning, colourful, exciting children's books, literature for the classic shelf, and poetry to entice you, there is one book for every genre!

        The early Spenser, 1554–80

        'Minde on honour fixed'

        by Jean R. Brink, Joshua Samuel Reid

        Brink's provocative biography shows that Spenser was not the would-be court poet whom Karl Marx's described as 'Elizabeth's arse-kissing poet'. In this readable and informative account, Spenser is depicted as the protégé of a circle of London clergymen, who expected him to take holy orders. Brink shows that the young Spenser was known to Alexander Nowell, author of Nowell's Catechism and Dean of St. Paul's. Significantly revising the received biography, Brink argues that that it was Harvey alone who orchestrated Familiar Letters (1580). He used this correspondence to further his career and invented the portrait of Spenser as his admiring disciple. Contextualising Spenser's life by comparisons with Shakespeare and Sir Walter Ralegh, Brink shows that Spenser shared with Sir Philip Sidney an allegiance to the early modern chivalric code. His departure for Ireland was a high point, not an exile.

        Spenser and Donne

        Thinking poets

        by Yulia Ryzhik

        The names Edmund Spenser and John Donne are typically associated with different ages in English poetry, the former with the sixteenth century and the Elizabethan Golden Age, the latter with the 'metaphysical' poets of the seventeenth century. This collection of essays, part of The Manchester Spenser series, brings together leading Spenser and Donne scholars to challenge this dichotomous view and to engage critically with both poets, not only at the sites of direct allusion, imitation, or parody, but also in terms of common preoccupations and continuities of thought, informed by the literary and historical contexts of the politically and intellectually turbulent turn of the century. Juxtaposing these two poets, so apparently unlike one another, for comparison rather than contrast changes our understanding of each poet individually and moves towards a more holistic, relational view of their poetics.

        Workers and politics in occupied Austria, 1945–55

        Workers and politics in occupied Austria, 1945–55

        by Jill Lewis

        In March 1946 Winston Churchill warned the world about the 'Iron Curtain' that had descended across Europe and behind which now lay, he said, the eight capitals of the ancient states of central and Eastern Europe. In fact, one of these eight, Vienna, escaped absorption into the Soviet bloc. Between 1945 and 1955, Austria and its capital were occupied by the Four (increasingly mutually antagonistic) Allied Powers. During this decade of confusion, insecurity, suspicion and fear, and confronted by poverty and the threat of famine, Austria's political and economic elites joined forces to promote a culture of political unity and harmony from which eventually emerged the Austrian model of corporatism, commonly referred to as the Social Partnership. This book sets the social and economic difficulties that Austria encountered in this crucial decade in their international context and examines how they were contained. The author also discusses the long-term implications of the Austrian culture of consensus, not only for the way in which the country dealt with its recent past, but also for present-day political developments. A remarkable study that will be essential reading for students and scholars of twentieth-century European history. ;

        British civilians in the front line

        Air Raids, Productivity and Wartime Culture, 1939–1945

        by Helen Jones

        This is the first full-length study of the behaviour of British civilians and their reactions to air raids during the Second World War. It unravels the multiple day-to-day, concrete and local influences on people's behaviour at these times of great danger, risk and uncertainty, and challenges the traditional image of civilians as passive shelterers under attack. It uncovers Churchill and his government's desperate attempts to persuade key workers to continue with their work once the air raid siren had sounded, and reveals the complex reasons why so many workers were willing to run such risks. By drawing on a range of sources, including secret government documents, newspapers, national and local records, feature films, as well as interviews with those who worked during air raids, this book provides a fascinating analysis of private meanings and public media representations of civilians 'in the front line'. ;

        Eine Debatte

        by Alain Badiou, Daniel Bensaïd, Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancière, Jean-Luc Nancy, Kristin Ross, Slavoj Zizek, Wendy Brown

        Zu Beginn des dritten Jahrtausends ist die Situation der Demokratie paradox: Einerseits sind mehr Staaten denn jemals zuvor demokratisch verfaßt, andererseits nehmen die Krisensymptome in den Staaten, die einstmals so etwas wie eine demokratische Avantgarde bildeten, zu: Die Wahlbeteiligung sinkt, schillernde Persönlichkeiten wie Silvio Berlusconi oder Nicolas Sarkozy gewinnen an Bedeutung, Wahlkämpfe geraten zu schalen Marketingkampagnen. Colin Crouch hat all diese Trends in dem Band "Postdemokratie" präzise auf den Punkt gebracht. In diesem Band setzen sich nun acht herausragende politische Denkerinnen und Denker mit dem Zustand und den Perspektiven der am wenigsten schlechten aller Regierungsformen (Winston Churchill) auseinander, die tageszeitung sprach von einem 'Who's who der internationalen linken Theorie'. Der Diskussionsband enthält Beiträge von Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Daniel Bensaïd, Wendy Brown, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Rancière, Kristin Ross und Slavoj iek.

        Ireland during the Second World War

        Farewell to Plato’s Cave

        by Bryce Evans

        In the first book detailing the social and economic history of Ireland during the Second World War, Bryce Evans reveals the real story of the Irish emergency. Revealing just how precarious the Irish state's economic position was at the time, the book examines the consequences of Winston Churchill's economic war against neutral Ireland. It explores how the Irish government coped with the crisis and how ordinary Irish people reacted to emergency state control of the domestic marketplace. A hidden history of black markets, smugglers, rogues and rebels emerges, providing a fascinating slice of real life in Ireland during a crucial period in world history. As the first comparison of economic and social conditions in Ireland with those of the other European neutral states - Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Portugal - the book will make essential reading for the informed general reader, students and academics alike. ;

        Britain’s Korean War

        Cold War diplomacy, strategy and security 1950–53

        by Thomas Hennessey

        The book assesses the strains within the 'Special Relationship' between London and Washington and offers a new perspective on the limits and successes of British influence. The interaction between the main personalities on the British side - Attlee, Bevan, Morrison, Churchill and Eden - and their American counterparts - Truman, Acheson, Eisenhower and Dulles - are chronicled. By the end of the war the British were concerned that it was the Americans, rather than the Soviets, who were the greater threat to world peace. British fears concerning the Korean War were not limited to the diplomatic and military fronts - these extended to the 'Manchurian Candidate' threat posed by returning prisoners of war who had been exposed to communist indoctrination. The book is essential reading for those interested in British and US foreign policy and military strategy during the Cold War. ;

        Geschichte einer Leidenschaft in Malerei und Fotografie

        by Claudia Lanfranconi

        Coco Chanels Riviera

        Vom Lieben, Leben und Überleben an der Cote d'Azur

        by Anne de Courcy, Elke Link

        Reichtum, Weltpolitik, Genie, Macht, Lebenshunger und Stil: An der französischen Riviera der 30er Jahre vereinen sie sich. Glamouröser Mittelpunkt ist Gabrielle Chanel, ursprünglich aus ärmsten Verhältnissen stammend. Ihre Zielstrebigkeit hat sie reich und berühmt gemacht, in ihrem Landhaus La Pausa empfängt sie Politiker wie Winston Churchill, Schriftsteller wie Bertolt Brecht, Filmmagnaten, Maharadschas, Prinzen, Künstler, Stars. Und alle feiern sich und das Leben. Für den 1. September 1939 ist die Eröffnung der ersten Filmfestspiele von Cannes angesetzt; Marlene Dietrich ist extra mit Ehemann und Liebhaber angereist. Doch dann marschiert die deutsche Wehrmacht in Polen ein. Selbst den vergnügungssüchtigsten Sommergästen wird klar, was das bedeutet. Und nach Jahrzehnten des Triumphes wird Gabrielle Chanel plötzlich nicht mehr die allerrühmlichste Rolle in der Geschichte spielen. . . Auch wenn die Daten, Schauplätze und Begegnungen sorgfältig recherchiert und belegt sind, ist Coco Chanels Riviera so anekdotenreich erzählt, werden die Schicksale so raffiniert miteinander verknüpft, dass man das Buch wie einen spannenden Gesellschaftsroman liest, der noch einmal die Höhepunkte einer Ära beschwört, ehe es zur Katastrophe kommt.

        The Age of Upheaval
        Humanities & Social Sciences

        The Age of Upheaval

        by David Brooks

        A study of one of the most intense and formative periods of modern political history. The years 1899-1914 witnessed a fundamental challenge to many Victorian values and institutions: Free Trade, the new Poor Law, the House of Lords, the Irish Union - all were under attack, while organized labour and the feminist movement displayed an unprecedented assertiveness and aggression. Drawing on a variety of sources, this work examines what made these years the most politically turbulent between the Chartist era and today. It emphasizes the long shadow cast by the South African War, and the challenges to national identity posed by imperialism and by the Irish nationalist movement. Consideration is also given to the 1906 Liberal landslide victory and the way in which this aroused expectations that could not always be fulfilled. The author offers his own perspectives on the leading figures of the day - Chamberlain, Balfour, Lloyd George, Asquith and Churchill. While the emphasis of the book is on political thought, the author also sets his discussion within the broader context of social and economic change. This study is designed for A' level and undergraduate students of Edwardian history. ;
