Italian Repatriation from the United States, 1900-1914
ISBN: 9780595484478 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Betty Boyd Caroli traveled to Italy on a Fulbright in 1970, she had a purpose: to find Italians who had journeyed to America to work between 1900 and 1914 and then returned to live in Italy. Sometimes she found clubs of "repatriates," sitting under American flags and pictures of JFK. Individuals told her their stories-why they left for "bread" but returned for "family." Caroli puts these workers in context, giving statistics from both countries and citing accounts written by their contemporaries, to help us understand the price paid by these "birds of passage."

The First Testament
ISBN: 9781845490478 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 2005 marks the centenary anniversary of the birth in Prague of Vladimir Holan (1905-1980). He was one of the great poets of his time, yet is almost unknown to the English-speaking literary world. In the darkest part of the history of his country, he created such graphic poetry, with expressions and imagery so deep and rich, that the two apocalyptic poems in this book seem to be a precursor to the angst of the whole world today, as it struggles with the turmoil of terrorism and aggression. Never before published in English, the very title of this book must surely intrigue prospective readers....

Dolour
ISBN: 9781845494735 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Reading Dolour is like looking into the most private depths of Holan's soul. Some of his poems are so simple that they are almost child-like; some are cruel and harsh, while others border on pornography. One can easily call him a wordsmith - he uses words as thoughts to convey his every written nuance. Sometimes, he purposefully chooses archaic and totally obsolete Czech words, which are virtually untranslatable. He was obsessed with women and sex, as well as his belief in God, Satan, Hell and Heaven. Both his sensuality and spirituality appear in most of his works and his intensity of...
