The Irish Short Story at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century

The Irish Short Story at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century
Madalina Armie, "The Irish Short Story at the Turn of the Twenty-First Century "
English | ISBN: 1032308249 | 2022 | 252 pages | PDF | 16 MB
In the mid-1990s, Ireland was experiencing the "best of times". The Celtic Tiger seemed to instil in the national consciousness that poverty was a problem of the past. The impressive economic performance ensured that the Republic occupied one of the top positions among the world's economic powers. During the boom, dissident voices continuously criticised what they considered to be a mirage, identifying the precariousness of its structures and foretelling its eventual crash. The 2008 recession proved them right. Throughout this time, the Irish contemporary short story expressed distrust. Enabled by its capacity to reflect change with immediacy and dexterity, the short story saw through the smokescreen created by the Celtic Tiger discourse of well-being. It reinterpreted and captured the worst and the best of the country and became a bridge connecting tradition and modernity. The major objective of this book is to analyse the interactions between fiction and reality during this period in Ireland by studying the short stories written by old and emergent voices published between the birth of the Celtic Tiger in 1995 up to its immediate aftermath in 2013.

Alexander Orakhelashvili, "The Interpretation of Acts and Rules in Public International Law"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0199546223 | PDF | pages: 624 | 4.6 mb
There are frequent claims that the international legal regulation of international law is uncertain, vague, ambiguous, or indeterminate, which does not support the stability, transparency, or predictability of international legal relations. This monograph examines the framework of interpretation in international law based on the premise of the effectiveness and determinacy of international legal regulation, which is a necessary pre-requisite for international law to be viewed as law.

As Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted an American flag, an unmanned Soviet spacecraft, Luna 15, was in the Moon's orbit, preparing to land as well. The Moon missions were a competition between the two nations, part of a "Space Race" spanning two decades. But as images of Apollo 11 beamed across millions of television screens on the night of July 20, it was clear that Apollo 11 also represented a human accomplishment.
