The Searchers: Essays and Reflections on John Ford's Classic Western
ISBN: 9780814330562 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In many ways a traditional western, The Searchers (1956) is considered by critics to be one of the greatest Hollywood films, made by the most influential of western directors. But John Ford's classic work, in its complexity and ambiguity, was a product of post-World War II American culture and sparked a deconstruction of the western film myth by looking unblinkingly at white racism and violence and suggesting its social and psychological origins. The film tells the story of the kidnapping of the niece of Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) by Comanche Indians and Edward's long search to find her -...

Moral Vision in the Histories of Polybius: Volume 16
ISBN: 9780520085206 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Arthur Eckstein's fresh and stimulating interpretation challenges the way Polybius' Histories have long been viewed. He argues that Polybius evaluates people and events as much from a moral viewpoint as from a pragmatic, utilitarian, or even "Machiavellian" one. Polybius particularly asks for "improvement" in his audience, hoping that those who study his writings will emerge with a firm determination to live their lives nobly. Teaching by the use of moral exemplars, Polybius also tries to prove that success is not the sole standard by which human action should be judged.

Mediterranean Anarchy, Interstate War, and the Rise of Rome: Volume 48
ISBN: 9780520259928 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This ground-breaking study is the first to employ modern international relations theory to place Roman militarism and expansion of power within the broader Mediterranean context of interstate anarchy. Arthur M. Eckstein challenges claims that Rome was an exceptionally warlike and aggressive state--not merely in modern but in ancient terms--by arguing that intense militarism and aggressiveness were common among all Mediterranean polities from ca 750 B.C. onwards. In his wide-ranging and masterful narrative, Eckstein explains that international politics in the ancient Mediterranean world...
