Contemporary critics seemed oblivious to Dracula's sexual undercurrents, so how did he disguise its eroticism? These and many other questions ...

The Virgin Whore and Other Chinese Characters: Tiananmen, Travels and Traumas
2012
EN
Priscilla Wong had had six boyfriends. Because she did not marry the first or second, her classmates called her a prostitute. Yet she was still a virgin. A virgin whore. Perhaps the contradiction could only exist in China. I grew fond of the idea, for it seemed a perfect caricature of China as a whole - rich history coexisting with drab modernity, corruption with innocence, membership of the nuclear club while burdened with poverty. Clive Leatherdale found himself caught up in the student ...

The dramatic rise in Aberdeens fortunes is due partly to a succession of dynamic managers and partly to the widened horizons provided by European competition. Aberdeen became formidable o...

If the world is to see a nuclear war, Korea is the likely flashpoint. The contrast between the two Koreas - the dynamism of the South confronting the oppression of the North - could not be more stark. Yet, as the author reveals, Koreans from both sides exhibit similarities of thought and perception....
