The Riddles of the Hobbit
ISBN: 9781137373632 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Riddles have lost none of their power over us: we are as fascinated by mysteries, from sudoko to whodunnits, from jokes to philosophical conundrums. The Hobbit is a book threaded through with riddles; most obviously in its central 'Riddles in the Dark' chapter, but everywhere else too-what does 'Good Morning' mean? What is a burrahobbit? How many versions of the Hobbit are there? What is the buried secret in the nine riddles Bilbo and Gollum swap between one another? What are Ents? Dragons? Wizards? What is the magic of the magic ring? All these questions, and more, are answered in The...

Civil Resistance and Power Politics: The Experience of Non-Violent Action from Gandhi to the Present
ISBN: 9780199552016 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This widely-praised book identified peaceful struggle as a key phenomenon in international politics a year before the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt confirmed its central argument. Civil resistance--non-violent action against such challenges as dictatorial rule, racial discrimination and foreign military occupation--is a significant but inadequately understood feature of world politics. Especially through the peaceful revolutions of 1989, and the developments in the Arab world since December 2010, it has helped to shape the world we live in.

Landor's Cleanness: A Study of Walter Savage Landor
ISBN: 9780198723271 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cleanness, both in the sense of a neoclassical stylistic purity and of an individual moral and political probity, was centrally important to Walter Savage Landor's writing, both in his prose and poetry. At the same time, this commitment to purity was contaminated in a variety of eloquent and complicating uncleannesses: his own fiery temper and frequent rages; his sometimes scurrilous and sexually explicit Latin poems; and the innovative, compacted, proto-Modernist verse style of works such as his epic Gebir, as stylistically-tangled and potent a poem ever produced in the Romantic era.
