“A strange and surprisingly touching novel about how people find good and evil where they look for them” (Booklist). In 1930s Russia, an eight-year-old boy named Vladimir is suddenly stricken with a chronic case of the hiccups. He soon finds himself spirited away to a Moscow hospital by the famous physician Sergei Namestikov, who puts him through a series of extraordinary—and often bizarre—treatments in an effort to find a cure. Then Sergei’s chief medical rival, the brilliant Alexander Afiniganov, determines that beneath Vladimir’s blank eyes lurks a pure, unbridled evil—and takes steps to remove the child from polite society. Abandoned by everyone but his hiccups, Vladimir is about to embark on a journey that is funny, poignant, and surreal—and that takes a close look at the nature of good and evil—in this novel, a winner of the Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction from the author of Hanna Who Fell From the Sky. “A beautifully written novel, part folk tale, part parable.” —Will Ferguson, author of Happiness

Download Debt Slavery Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Isn't debt ultimately more of a philosophical concept than a financial one? Indeed, it is seen as a moral fault whose unbridled demands cannot be met. It is repaid by a submission that has become infinite and a vision of work that has been totally deregulated. We are no longer in the age of masters and slaves. We need, as this insightful book shows, to identify new protagonists—no longer bourgeois or proletarians, but new players operating through computerized exchange networks, virtual transaction robots. Such is the fate of speculation, with its dematerialized share-price, worsening debt while evading the scrutiny of the law. Jean-Clet Martin, former program director at the Collège international de philosophie, is the author of numerous books on contemporary thought, including Derrida: un démantèlement de l’Occident and Comprendre Foucault, published by Max Milo.
