Contemporary Spanish Short Stories: Viajeros Perdidos
ISBN: 9781853994609 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A collection of short stories by 12 contemporary Spanish writers including Javier Cercas and Paloma Diaz-Mas. The settings vary from the exotic (Salome at the court of King Herod, the palace of a Moorish king with a half-mermaid daughter) to the historical (a little boy's experience of life in rural Spain under Franco), the fantastic (travelling the world through a labyrinth of built-in wardrobes) and the Chandleresque "film noir." Each of the stories follows a traveller or travellers, who, in the course of the tale, become lost to reality in some way, or alienated from their expectations...

Si Orphans of the Plaintive Air
ISBN: 9781845495855 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The original poems in this collection give voice to familiar female figures from Irish mythology, Irish folk history and folklore. The Gaelic tradition is highly sympathetic to its women protagonists. It has plenty of them and they have plenty to say for themselves, not all of it genteel. This series of poems provides a continuum from the ancient tales of the Tuatha de Danaan and the Red Branch up to an instance of politicised defence of folklore at the cusp of the second millennium. It is followed by a translation of the Lament for Arthur O'Leary composed, as was the custom, over the course...

Mientras los hombres mueren: Carmen Conde
ISBN: 9780719077524 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Carmen Conde is a major figure in twentieth-century Spanish poetry.

The collection was written in 1938-39, in Valencia, then the seat of the Republican Government. In prose poetry densely...

ISBN: 9781855662841 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The fourteen essays of this volume engage in distinct ways with the matter of motion in early modern Spanish poetics, without limiting the dialectic of stasis and movement to any single sphere or manifestation. Interrogation of the interdependence of tradition and innovation, poetry, power and politics, shifting signifiers, the intersection of topography and deviant temporalities, the movement between the secular and the sacred, tensions between centres and peripheries, issues of manuscript circulation and reception, poetic calls and echoes across continents and centuries, and between...

While the Men Are Dying
ISBN: 9781845495862 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Carmen Conde (1907-1996) lived and worked in the Republican zone during the Spanish Civil War while her husband served at the front line. Her third collection of poetry, While the Men are Dying was written in Valencia as bombs fell, her city endured privation and her country was being torn apart. When the war ended, a known pro-Republican intellectual, she went into hiding and was forced to write under pseudonyms to make a living. These prose poems which describe the full horror of the impact of war on a civilian population and which empathise deeply with the sacrifice of the young men at the...
