SOCIALISM Quan Yanchi 
Sedewa apa pun anggapan orang Cina, Mao tetap manusia biasa. Sepenting apapun perannya dalam revolusi kebudayaan Mao tetaplah manusia yang tidak sempurna. Dia bukanlah seorang kaisar, hanya pelayan rakyat. Seorang suami dan ayah tapi juga komandan perang. Kesederhanaan, kejujuran, kegigihan, dan kekerasan hati wujud simbol kepribadiannya. Mao bukanlah Tuhan.

Gagasan-Gagasan Politik Gramsci 
Antonio Gransci (1891-1937) lahir di Sardinia, Italia, dari keluarga sangat miskin. Sumbangannya yang khas dan orisinal dalam ilmu sosial adalah teorinya mengenai politik dalam negara modern. Karyanya yang termashur, Prison Notebooks, mengelaborasi dua pertanyaan pokok: Mengapa dan bagaimana negara modern bisa mendapatkan konsensus atas kekuasaannya terhadap mayoritas masyarakat? Mengapa dan bagaimana seorang sosialis bisa memastikan bahwa konsensus ini dapat diubah menjadi konsensus baru yang mendukung nilai-nilai sosialisme? ISBN 979-9289-17-3 INSIST - Pustaka Pelajar Perjuangan Kelas Di Tengah Krisis Ekonomi 
Kalau tulisan-tulisan tentang perburuhan yang selama ini terbit membahas bagaimana malangnya nasib buruh menjadi korban pembangunan dengan orientasi kapitalisme, buku ini memberikan alternatif cara pandang yang berbeda pada masalah yang sama. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan Marxis, penulis membawa kembali optimisme semangat terwujudnya masyarakat sosialis. Terutama setelah bukti kegagalan kapitalisme dalam krisis ekonomi global akhir tahun 1990-an ini. Dengan membahas potensi kekuatan-kekuatan aktual dan kekuatan material kelas buruh di Thailand penulis membuktikan bahwa buruh bukanlah korban, melainkan agen perubahan menuju masyarakat yang lebih adil. Dengan semangat solidaritas internasional buruh sedunia, buku ini diharapkan bisa menjadi pelajaran dan inspirasi perjuangan kawan-kawan buruh di Indonesia.*** 
Pada hakekatnya yang membuat manusia menjadi homo humanis adalah kerja. Dengan bekerja manusia mencapai kenyataan sepenuh-penuhnya dan dalam aktivitas bekerja pula manusia mengadakan diri tidak seperti dalam keadaan kesadaran secara intelektual, melainkan secara berkarya nyata, sehingga ia memandang dirinya sendiri dalam dunia yang diciptakan sendiri. Marx mencitrakan manusia ke dalam posisi emansipatoris, hal demikian berarti ia menghilangkan segala sesuatu yang menghalang-halangi manusia secara positif menghumanisasikan manusia. Untuk mencapai kodratnya sebagai makhluk tertinggi maka kondisi objektif dari keadaan materi manusia harus tetap menjadi faktor dominan berhadapan dengan kesadaran.

No One Here Gets Out Alive 
Here is Jim Morrison in all his complexity--singer, philosopher, poet, dilinquent--the brilliant, charismatic and obsessed disipline of darkness who rejected authority in any form, the explorer who probed "the bounds of reality to see what would happen..." Seven years in the writing, this definitive biography is the work of two men whose empathy and experience with Jim Morrison uniquely prepare them to recount this modern tragedy: Jerry Hopkins, whose famous Presley biography, ELVIS, was inspired by Morrison's suggestion, and Danny Sugerman, confidant of and aide to the Doors. Together they tell the story of a genious who shot like a rocket across the musical horizon, then fell in burning fragments as his life went out of control. Cover Design by Gene Light Rocking The State 
"This lively collection enlarges our view of East-Central European and Russian-Soviet popular culture by its comprehensive sweep and its clever interweave of music, youth, emotion, and political power. Definitely recommended for scholars, students, and other readers interested in 'serious fun.'" --Richard Stites, Georgetown University Of the many avenues for expressing disident viewpoints in communist societies, rock music--with its broad appeal among young people--was one of the most effective. Although there were rock groups that sang the praises of communism, other groups struck the pose of "rock rebels," assailing the system through their ribald lyrics and raucous music. Communist regimes generally had a difficult time adjusting to rock music, and some, such as those in Czechoslovakia and Romania, never did accept the new genre. Others, such as the East German government, tried to control and monitor rock by requiring musicians and DJs alike to pass tests on Marxist ideology. Other strategy included censoring lyrics, record covers, and attire; insisting on haircuts for band members; and fussing about jewelry and other adornments worn by rockers. The authorities knew that although these bands could not overthrow the state, they could sing up a storm, and, indeed, rock the state. Bringing together some of the world's leading authorities on rock music under communism, this book analyzes the rise of specific rock groups throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, examining the broader social culture in which the operated and evaluating the political ramifications of their popularity.

NOVEL Wuthering Heights University of Sussex 
Wuthering Heights is the wild, passionate story of intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death. Heathcliff is bullied and humilliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and, wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.Cover Design by Robert Mathias, Publishing Workshop Three Sketches From A Hunter's Album

Upon its publication in 1528, Castiglione's handbook was considered something of an instant classic and went on to influence upper-class life and manners for centuries to come, as well as much of the Italian literature that followed it. Using a discussion among courtiers--'soldier-scholars'--as a framing device, these excerpts from Castiglione's landmark volume touch upon such wide-ranging topics as love, war, women, politics, art and religion, providing us with a fascinating glimpse into Renaissance thought. The Book of the Courtier is published in Pinguin Classics. The cover shows a detail from Portrait of Francesco Maria della Rovere, c. 1504, by Raphael di Sanzio, from the Uffizi, Florence. A Visitation of The Plague 
The tears and lamentations of a city under siege. In the months leading up to the outbreak of the Great Plague of 1665 panic spread over the city of London. Trapped by poverty, a gullible populace became prey to an army of astrologers, charlatans and quack doctors who offered false promises of hope in the face of the impending horror. A Jounal of the Plague Year, from which this extract is taken, is Daniel Defoe's vivid, imaginative reconstruction of the Great Plague of London. Regarded as one of the first great English novels, it is published in Penguin Classics. ISBN 0-14-600159-1 Etiquette For Renaissance Gentlemen 'A Man Of Singular Desert' Milton 
Andrew Marvell, poet, tutor, civil servant, satirist and politician, lived through the turbulent years of the English Civil War. Somewhat enigmatic, detached, he saw both sides of fundamental and difficult issues and sought to reconcile opposite - Royalism and Republicanism, spiritualism and sensuality, outer and inner worlds. In his poems he balances opposing principles and explores public and private spheres of life with witty delicacy, passionate paradox and a truly 'metaphysical' use of language.
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall 
With a specially commissioned Introduction and Notes by Kathryn White, Assistant Curator/Librarian of the Bronte Parsonage Museum, Haworth, Yorkshire. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a powerful and sometimes violent novel of expectation, love, oppression, sin, religion and betrayal. It portrays the disintegration of the marriage of Helen Huntingdon, the mysterious 'tenant' of the title, and her dissolute, alcoholic husband. Defying convention, Helen leaves her husband to protect their young son from his father's influence, and earns her own living as an artist. Whilst in hiding at Wildfell Hall, she encounters Gilbert Markham, who falls in love with her.On its first publication in 1848, Anne Bront&s second novel was criticised for being 'coarse' and 'brutal'. The Tenant of Wildfell Hall challenges the social conventions of the early nineteenth century in a strong defence of women's rights in the face of psychological abuse from their husbands. Anne Bronte's style is bold, naturalistic and passionate, and this novel, which her sister Charlotte considered 'an entire mistake', has earned Anne a position in English literature in her own right, not just as the youngest member of the Bronte family. This newly reset text is taken from a copy of the 1848 second edition in the Library of the Bronte Parsonage Museum and has been edited to correct known errors in that edition. ISBN 1-85326-488-1 Student Hijo 
Student Hijo terbit pertama kali tahun 1918 melalui Harian Sinar Hindia, dan muncul sebagai buku tahun 1919. Merupakan salah satu perintis lahirnya sastra perlawanan: sebuah fenomena dalam sastra Indonesia sebelum perang. Novel ini mencoba berkisah tentang awal mula kelahiran para intelektual pribumi, yang lahir dari kalangan borjuis kecil, dan secara berani mengkontraskan kehidupan di Nederland dan Hindia Belanda. Hingga menjadi masuk akal jika novel ini kemudian dipinggirkan oleh dominasi dan hegemoni Balai Pustaka, bahkan sampai saat ini. Penerbitan kembali karya ini, merupakan suatu usaha untuk memberi alternatif sastra Indonesia klasik, setelah sekian lama terlupakan.Marco Kartodikromo (Mas Marco, 1890-1935) merupakan seorang wartawan yang juga seorang aktivis revolusioner di masanya. Aktivitas gerakannya telah membuat dia ditangkap dan dipenjara beberapa kali. Sebagian besar karya sastranya lahir di dalam penjara, antara lain syair Sama Rata dan Sama Rasa yang sempat menjadi idiom populer, serta novel Student Hijo ini. Di akhir hidupnya, ia kembali ditahan pemerintah kolonial dan dibuang ke Boven Digoel, serta meninggal di sama. Penerbit Aksara Indonesia, Maret 2000 Larasati 
LARASATI--sebuah roman revolusi semasa perjuangan bersenjata 1945-1950. Kisah tentang pemuda-pemuda Indonesia yang rela membaktikan jiwa raga demi proklamasi kemerdekaan, kisah-kisah tentang para pahlawan sejati dan pahlawan munafik, pertarungan di daerah republik dan daerah pendudukan Belanda--antara yang setia dan yang menyeberang, antara uang ORI dan uang Nica, dengan wanita sebagai tokoh utama--bintang film tenar yang dengan caranya sendiri memberikan diri dan segalanya untuk kemenangan revolusi. Potret revolusi semasa yang menghidupkan kembali sepenggal sejarah di tahun-tahun awal proklamasi kemerdekaan, sebuah potret jujur gaya Pramodya tentang kebesaran dan kekerdilan, kekuatan dan kelemahan revolusi. Sebuah fiksi yang menghanyutkan kita seakan menghayati kembali suatu dokumentasi non fiksi Indonesia semasa romantika pertempuran berkecamuk di "jaman bersiap!" Hasta Mitra Hikayat Kadiroen

Pramoedya Ananta Toer Dan Sastra Realisme Sosialis 
... humanisme dan humanitas, unviversal, proletaris, individual atau modern, marxisme atau realisme sosialis, semuanya merupakan label-label yang melekat pada diri Pramoedya pada masa yang berbeda-beda dalam konteks sosial yang berlainan, yang dikenakan padanya atau dipergunakan olehnya sendiri. Paling banter semua itu merupakan terjemahan dari konsep: benar, adil, dan baik (indah) (A. Teeuw, Citra Manusia Indonesia dalam Karya Sastra Pramoedya Ananta Toer).

Discipline and Punish 
"Imaginative, illuminating [and] innovative... Must be reckoned with by humanist, social scientists and political activists." --The New York Time Book Review Barely two hundred and fifty years ago a man condemned of attempting to assassinate the King of France was drawn and quartered in a grisly spectacle that suggested an unmediated duel between the violence of the criminal and the violence of the state. This groundbreaking book by the most influential philosopher since Sartre compels us to reevaluate our assumption about all the ensuing reforms in the penal institutions of the West. For as he examines innovations that range from the aboliton of torture to the institution of forced labor and the appearance of the modern penitentiary, Michel Foucault suggests that punishment has shifted its locus from the prisoner's body to his soul--and that our very concern with rehabilitation encourages and refines criminal activity. Lucidly reasond and deftly marshalling a vast body of research, Discipline and Punish is a genuinely revolutionary book, whose implications extend beyond the prison to the minute power relations of our society. "Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are.... [He] is carrying out, in the noblest way, the promiscuous aim of true culture." --Richard Howard, The Nation "{Foucault] has an alert and sensitive mind which can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual codes and ask new questions.... [He] gives a dramatic quality to the movement of culture." --New York Review of Book Cover Illustration by Gene Greif The Order of Things 
"An alert and sensitive mind which can ignore the familiar surfaces of established intellectual codes and ask new question... Foucault gives a dramatic quality to the movement of intelectual culture.... [His] book must be judged as a contribution to the history and philosophy of scientific thought." -- The New York Review of Book In the work that established him as the most important French thinker since Sartre, Michel Foucault offers startling evidence that "man"--man as a subject of scientific knowledge--is at best a recent invention, the result of a fundamental mutation in our culture. With vast erudition Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into the seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and saw analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern science of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of mening and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths. "The Order of Things display an extraordinary range of information and imagination, and its these ought to be taken note of and learned from." --New Republic "Foucault is quite central to our sense of where we are.... [He] is carrying out, in the noblest way, the promiscuous aim of true culture." --Richard Howard, The Nation Cover Illustration by Gene Greif GENDER The Second Sex 
One day I wanted to explain myself to myself... And it struck me with a sort of surprise that the first thing I had to say was 'I am a woman.' -- Simone de Beavoir. This triumphat and genuinely revolutionary book began as an exceptional woman's attempt to find out who and what she was. It ended up shocking, infuriating, and galvanizing millions of readers and dramatically revising the way women talk and think about themselves. Drawing on extensive interviews with women of every age and station of life, masterfully synthesizing research about women's bodies and psyches as well as their historic and economic roles, The Second Sex is an encyclopedic and brilliantly argue document of inequality and enforced "otherness." Forty years later, it retains all of its vitality and passion, while confirming Simone de Beauvoir's stature as one of the most significant thinkers of the twentieth century. "To take on this glorious and fantastic book is not like reading at all--from the first sentence to the last, one has the sensation of playing some dreadfully exciting ... game ... What is so unbearably whirling is that the author too goes through this mad effort to include nearly every woman and attitude that has ever existed." Elizabeth Hardwick ISBN 0-679-72451-6 Matinya Gender 
Para feminis menuntut "kesetaraan", padahal kesetaraan adalah mitos karangan masyarakat industrial yang seksis. Agar seksisme berkurang, pertumbuhan ekonomi harus negatif.
