The Balkans in World History
ISBN: 9780195158496 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the historical and literary imagination, the Balkans loom large as a somewhat frightening and ill-defined space, often seen negatively as a region of small and spiteful peoples, racked by racial and ethnic hatred, always ready to burst into violent conflict. The Balkans in World History re-defines this space in positive terms, taking as a starting point the cultural, historical, and social threads that allow us to see this region as a coherent if complex whole. Eminent historian Andrew Wachtel here depicts the Balkans as that borderland geographical space in which four of the...

Po komunismu stále důležití?
ISBN: 9788020027788 / Czeski / 2018 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Autor vychází ze své akademicky teoretické i vydavatelsky praktické zkušenosti dvou desetiletí, kdy se profesně věnoval literatuře východní Evropy jako překladatel, literární kritik i vydavatel. Studie rekapituluje literární život a roli spisovatelů ve východní Evropě v posledním půlstoletí. Wachtel zkoumá politické, sociologické i literární podmínky spisovatelů za komunismu a po jeho pádu. Podle něj po roce 1989 skončila „spisovatelská utopie“ vytvořená komunistickými režimy (spolu s nespornou politickou represí zažívali jak oficiální, tak i...

Take Me to Stavanger: Poems
ISBN: 9780822967163 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Amid the din of Russia’s patriotic sentiments and Instagram instants, is there any room left for the voice of a poet? Despite the many entertainments and distractions of modern life, Anzhelina Polonskaya’s spare but cutting poems in Take Me to Stavanger declare a wholehearted “Yes.” This bilingual Russian-English volume makes a refuge for the poet and her readers, plumbing the depths of contemporary melancholy and ennui. Beautifully crafted idiosyncratic dissections of a strong individual who refuses to go along with the currents of popular culture or political jingoism invite readers...

Plays of Expectations: Intertextual Relations in Russian Twentieth-Century Drama
ISBN: 9780295986470 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Expectation is an integral part of the reading experience. As we read a text, we begin to classify it and compare it to others with which it seems to share a family resemblance. Drama is a particularly rich and rewarding field for studying the complex ways in which such expectations are created. Theatre audiences and readers of plays are encouraged in a variety of ways to guess at what might unfold on the stage and on the page, and much of the pleasure of the theatrical experience revolves around this guessing game. Plays of Expectations explores these expectations through the lens... Expectation is an integral part of the reading experience.

Making a Nation, Breaking a Nation: Literature and Cultural Politics in Yugoslavia
ISBN: 9780804731805 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the cultural processes by which the idea of a Yugoslav nation was developed and on the reasons that this idea ultimately failed to bind the South Slavs into a viable nation and state. The author argues that the collapse of multinational Yugoslavia and the establishment of separate uninational states did not result from the breakdown of the political or economic fabric of the Yugoslav state; rather, that breakdown itself sprang from the destruction of the concept of a Yugoslav nation. Had such a concept been retained, a collapse of political authority would have been...

Remaining Relevant After Communism: The Role of the Writer in Eastern Europe
ISBN: 9780226867663 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. More than any other art form, literature defined Eastern Europe as a cultural and political entity in the second half of the twentieth century. Although often persecuted by the state, East European writers formed what was frequently recognized to be a "second government," and their voices were heard and revered inside and outside the borders of their countries. This study by one of our most influential specialists on Eastern Europe considers the effects of the end of communism on such writers.

ISBN: 9780804725941 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The author traces the role of Russian literature over two hundred years in creating and sustaining the notion of the singularity of their own history and of its relationship to the history of the outside world.The author describes the development of this tradition through an analysis of major works including Karamzin's History of the Russian State, Tolstoy's War and Peace, and Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. His analysis of this tradition has a dual purpose: to provide a window on the peculiarly Russian attitude toward history and to allow us to read some major works of Russian...

Russian Literature
ISBN: 9780745636856 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For most English-speaking readers, Russian literature consists of a small number of individual writers - nineteenth-century masters such as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Turgenev - or a few well-known works - Chekhov's plays, Brodsky's poems, and perhaps Master and Margarita and Doctor Zhivago from the twentieth century. The medieval period, as well as the brilliant tradition of Russian lyric poetry from the eighteenth century to the present, are almost completely terra incognita, as are the complex prose experiments of Nikolai Gogol, Nikolai Leskov, Andrei Belyi, and Andrei Platonov. Furthermore,...
