When a man`s favourite elephant vanishes, the balance of his whole life is subtly upset; a couple`s midnight hunger pangs drive them to hold up a McDonald`s; a woman finds she is irresistible to a small green monster that burrows through her front garden; an insomniac wife wakes up to a twilight world of semi-consciousness in which anything seems possible - even death. In every one of the stories that make up The Elephant Vanishes, Murakami makes a determined assault on the normal. He has a deadpan genius for dislocating realities to uncover the surreal in the everyday, the extraordinary in the ordinary. How does Murakami manage to make poetry while writing of contemporary life and emotions? I am weak-kneed with admiration Independent on...

The post-Cold War is drawing to a close. For the first time since 1945 Europe is about to experience the centrifugal forces of multipolarity. It does so after two decades of intense institution with a collective presence in the shape of the European Union. Asle Toje asks the question, what place will the EU take in a multipolar global order? In examining the historical forces that converged in the post-war integration project, the efforts to construct a common foreign and security policy and experiences from the field, he argues that due to the lack of a workable decision-making mechanism the EU is destined to play the limited but at the same time distinct role of a small power. Toje explains that only with the surge of integration in...
What made Germany keep fighting to the death, even when it was clear it would lose the Second World War? Why did its rulers not cut a deal to save their own skins? And why did ordinary people continue to obey the Fuhrer`s suicidal orders, with countless Germans executing their own countrymen for desertion or defeatism? Ian Kershaw`s searing account takes us into the heart of the Third Reich`s final months, laying bare the fear and fanaticism that drove a nation to destruction.
