The Theatre of Naturalism: Disappearing ACT
ISBN: 9781433112973 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 139 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The impact of naturalism, a literary approach invented by Zola and especially significant in the field of the novel through his American -disciples- Crane, Norris, and Dreiser, is well acknowledged and recognized. Not so well recognized, but equally important, is naturalistic theatre; this was a style that also originated with Zola, but its progeny was more international and its significance more radical and insurrectionary than in the less -spectacular- genre of fiction. The Theatre of Naturalism: Disappearing Act establishes the incipiently revolutionary context (between the Paris...

The Magical Life of Berber Women in Kabylia: Translated from the French by Elizabeth Corp
ISBN: 9780820488691 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

Makilam rejects these preconceived ideas and demonstrates that women s magic was expressed in every domain of their daily lives: pottery making, food provision/preparation, and weaving. In fact, the traditional Kabyle society was incapable of functioning without...
