  • A New Fantasy Series Created by Kate Madison And
    A NEW FANTASY SERIES CREATED BY KATE MADISON AND CHRISTOPHER DANE REN is a new exciting fantasy drama series, with high-end TV production values, created for the ever growing online audience. It tells the story of a young woman who, after an otherworldly encoun- ter in the woods, is marked by an ancient spirit. Cast out from her small village, she is forced to leave behind the family she has spent her whole life protecting and journey across the country to find the real meaning behind the mark she now bears. The aim for the now completed Season One is to create the basis for a long lasting new fantasy franchise. As a made-for-the-internet feature my first project Born of Hope has been a major success story. Over 35 million views on platforms like YouTube and Daily Motion has made it the most watched Lord of the Rings tribute film. The entire team honed their skills attempting to create a world that could easily sit next to Peter Jackson’s trilogy... and succeeded. With Ren it was important for me to create a NEW world, where nobody has ever been before, to make it exciting for both our loyal Born of Hope fans and a whole new group of fantasy fans. It was also very important that we did not compromise on the quality of what we were creating, so every member of the team aimed for high-end TV production values... and succeeded. Bringing out the first season is obviously the big test, but I’m in no doubt that this is only the start of an amazing journey! Kate Madison These are some of the reactions to Season One from the fans It is indeed.

These are called Elves: and often they come to town and by day they are much in the woods: by night up on the high downs. Indeed, the languages were the first thing Tolkien ever created for his mythos, starting with what he originally called "Elfin" or "Qenya" [sic]. The Valar would have closed the mountains entirely but, realizing that the Elves, even the Vanyar, needed to be able to breathe the outside air, they kept Calacirya open.

  • Workers and Intelligentsia in Late Imperial Russia: Realities, Representations, Reflections
    Workers and Intelligentsia in Late Imperial Russia: Realities, Representations, Reflections Edited by Reginald E. Zelnik Description: The collapse of the Soviet Union opened previously unimagined possibilities for insight into Russian social, intellectual, and political history. This volume, a collaboration of American, Russian, and West European scholars, illuminates the creation and complex dynamics of the Russian industrial working class from its peasant origins in the mid-nineteenth century to the collapse of the imperial system in 1917. The authors focus on the shifting attitudes, cultural norms, self-representations, and increasing self-consciousness of workers as they interacted with the new social movements, student groups, the Church, and most dramatically, the political (mainly radical and liberal) intelligentsia. But the authors also examine the obverse: the contending representations of workers by the intelligentsia as they interacted with each other ever more intensely during this turbulent period leading up to the Russian Revolution. The result is a fascinating and detailed account of social and cultural transformation in a key period of Russian — and world — history.
