THE GREAT OCTOBER SOCIALIST REVOLUTION:
|
Published by Badak Merah
The great Latin American revolutionary writer, Eduardo Galeano, once said toVltchek, “It is time to raise old flags. It is time to un-dust them and once again gather under them.” The Revolution is not over. Communism and socialism are far from being defeated. One of the leading left-wing thinkers today, Andre Vltchek, in this collection of philosophical, revolutionary essays, explains why revolutionary optimism is so feared in the nihilistic West and, by taking us to all corners of the world, proves that people everywhere are still capable of dreaming, hoping and fighting for a much better world and for eternal ideals!

AURORA
Published by Badak Merah
“AURORA is a tremendous work. Aurora is what a literary work should be: fully human. It is also what used to be known as a major literary work because it's rare to its time. It represents a leading edge of consciousness, courage, and social need. A major work! That's why it must be buried, as we know. I'm glad I can be part of it. Aurora is written at a consistently intense, dynamic level. I wish it could be 500 pages and dropped like a sonic boom on all the acclaimed literary centers of the world and be released like a climatic change for the good in the rest of the world.” ~ Tony Christini, Author of Homefront “Terrific! Andre Vltchek's marvelous novel, AURORA, is one of those small books whose impact far exceeds its length. It is a highly polemical book in some ways, but also a fantastic journey of the imagination. Comparisons could include Juan Rulfo's Pedro Paramo, and Rene Daumal’s Mount Analogue; but also Bulgakov and Leonov, Borges and Upton Sinclair. It is part Utopian vision, part nightmare, and part simply a vastly original inspiration. Like all works of true originality, it is, finally impossible to define, but it is possible to read it, and so you should, as quickly as possible.” ~ John Steppling, Playwright, screenwriter, and philosopher Please click here to order.
FIGHTING AGAINST WESTERN IMPERIALISM
Published by Badak Merah

He tried to grasp, and then to explain, how the Empire really works, how it selects its targets, which countries it decides to destroy and why? He studied the ‘opposition movements’ manufactured by Washington and London, and how they get implanted in so many different parts of the world; basically wherever people and their governments still dare to insist on defending their own national interests and choosing their own political as well as economic systems.

EXPOSING LIES OF THE EMPIRE
Published by Badak Merah
EXPOSING LIES OF THE EMPIRE is perhaps the most complete, and the most comprehensive account of the last several years, during which our planet has risen up and began its struggle against the Empire and its oppression. Vltchek takes us to all the continents, to slums and palaces, to the villages bombed into the ground, and to the front lines of the revolution. It alerts and provokes, clarifies and leads forward. It is a book of philosophy, a collection of exceptional investigative journalist reports, and a manifesto. It will inspire millions. It will be quoted for centuries to come. "In an age of formula media, Andre Vltchek's work is truly exceptional -- fiercely independent and bracing in its challenges to the echoes and lies of the great power." - John Pilger Please click here to order.

Published by Mainstay Press
POINT OF NO RETURN shows the world through the eyes of a war correspondent, working in conflict zones avoided by the mainstream media, unveiling the dire state of today’s world, its disparities and brutal post-colonial arrangement – including the imperialist push for Western hegemony. “Point of No Return is one of the great novels of the 21st century. It deserves a wide readership and serious critical appraisal. Over a half century ago, in his important book "American Moderns - From Rebellion to Conformity," the great literary critic Maxwell Geismar noted that "Our best literary work has come from writers who are outside [the dominant] intellectual orbit, where [capitalist] panic has slowly subsided into inertia." Geismar anticipates Vltchek. Point of No Return explodes from that vital realm far beyond hegemonic control.” – Tony Christini “Point of No Return is riveting.” - Paulin Cesari (Le Figaro) “André Vltchek is a writer, the real thing, of the same calibre and breed as Hemingway and Malraux.” - Catherine Merveilleux “Andre Vltchek tells us about a world that few know, even when they think they do. That is because he tells the truth, vividly, with a keen sense of history, and with a perceptive eye that sees past surfaces to reality…” – Noam Chomsky Please click here to order.
