Thanks to cheap travel and easy communication, immigrants everywhere stay in intimate contact with their native countries, creating powerful cross-border networks. In Borderless Economics, Robert Guest, The Economist`s Business Editor, travels through dozens of countries and 44 American states, observing how these networks create wealth, spread ideas and foster innovation.

A tale of intrigue, deception, murder and retribution, "Boris Godunov" charts the rise and fall of an ambitious prince who cannot avoid facing the consequences of his dark past. Based on the historical figure of the nobleman Boris Godunov, who seized power from Ivan the Terrible`s successor in sixteenth-century Russia, and partly inspired by Shakespeare`s "Macbeth", Alexander Pushkin`s 1825 play showcases the author`s mastery of verse and dramatic form. Also included in this volume are Pushkin`s celebrated four Little Tragedies: "Mozart and Salieri", "The Miserly Knight", "The Stone Guest" and "A Feast During the Plague".

``The people are silent`` So ends Pushkin`s great historical drama Boris Godunov, in which Boris`s reign as Tsar witnesses civil strife and intrigue, brutality and misery. Its legacy is an uncertain future for the new Tsar whose inauguration is met with devastating silence by the people. Pushkin`s dramatic work displays a scintillating variety of forms, from the historical to the metaphysical and folkloric. After Boris Godunov, they evolved into Pushkin`s own unique, condensed transformations of Western European themes and traditions. The fearful amorality of A Scene from Faust is followed by the four Little Tragedies which confront greed, envy, lust, and blasphemy, while Rusalka is a tragedy of a different kind - a lyric fairytale of...
