¥90.03
Life is not easy in the Soviet Union at mid-20 th century, especially for a factory worker who becomes an unwed mother. But Antonina is lucky to get a room in a communal apartment that she and her little girl share with three elderly women. Glikeria is a daughter of former serfs. Ariadna comes from a wealthy family and speaks French. Yevdokia is illiterate and bitter. All have lost their families, all are deeply traditional, and all become “grannies” to little Suzanna. Only they secretly name her Sofia. And just as secretly they impart to her the history of her country as they experienced it: the Revolution, the early days of the Soviet Union, the blockade and starvation of World War II. The little girl responds by drawing beautiful pictures, but she is mute. If the authorities find out she will be taken from her home and sent to an institution. When Antonina falls desperately ill, the grannies are faced with the reality of losing the little girl they love – a stepfather can be found before it is too late. And for that, they need a miracle.

The Ancestors

The Ancestors is the story of three generations of first daughters who were born after the abolition of slavery and possessed egos that were not compliant with the expected and largely accepted subservient role of women within the humble but chauvinistic environment in which they lived. The spirit of the era is captured as the biopic depicts simple sub-cultural lifestyles with fixed superstitions, parallel belief in God and the occult and unique language. Life experiences are stmpathetically and humorously echoed during separate journeys of survival and eventual triumph.

新教伦理与资本主义精神(新版)
¥48.30
《新教伦理与资本主义精神》是马克斯•韦伯的代表作之一。 近代以来在世界范围具有支配性力量的资本主义,何以独独从西方文明中孕生出来?韦伯从文化宗教对社会经济发展的制约这一角度提出,近代资本主义以其理性化的持续经营和组织劳动为特征,而资本主义精神中的核心要素,即“天职”思想、为职业劳动献身的工作伦理,与基督新教的禁欲性格具有天然的内在亲和性。新教,尤其是加尔文教派将工作奉为天职,有系统且理性地追求合法利得的人生观,正是资本主义发展*适合的精神动力。新教的人生观促了基于职业理念上的理性化的生活倾向,如今,这已成为现代市民普遍的生活样式。虽然禁欲精神助长了近代经济秩序的诞生,但资本主义在建立起决定一切的秩序后,将自己的根基盘踞在机械文明之上,新教的世禁欲精神,则解体为纯粹的功利主义。褪除了宗教伦理意涵的资本主义,*终走向“无灵魂的专家,无心的享乐人,这空无者竟自负已登上人类前所未达的境界”。
