O Pioneers!
ISBN: 9780140187755 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The first of Cather's renowned prairie novels, O Pioneers established a new voice in American literature--turning the stories of ordinary Midwesterners and immigrants into authentic literary characters. O Pioneers was Willa Cather's first great novel, and to many it remains her unchallenged masterpiece. No other work of fiction so faithfully conveys both the sharp physical realities and the mythic sweep of the transformation of the American frontier--and the transformation of the people who settled it. Cather's heroine is Alexandra Bergson, who arrives on the...

Cross-Cultural Reckonings: A Triptych of Russian, American and Canadian Texts
ISBN: 9780521440387 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This far-reaching collection of essays offers a serious and thought-provoking account of the complexities spawned by cross-cultural interpretation. The essays hold broad implications for issues spanning the range of literary criticism: the relations of text and context; the usefulness of genre as a defining term; the consequences of binary thinking; the links between practical criticism and literary theory; and--perhaps most explosively--from the visions and revisions invoked by shifting notions of nationality to the unpredictable attitudes toward gender and sexual difference entertained by...

Hungry Hearts
ISBN: 9780141180052 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In stories that draw heavily on her own life, Anzia Yezierska portrays the immigrant's struggle to become a "real" American, in such stories as "Yekl," "Hunger," "The Fat of the Land," and "How I Found America." Set mostly in New York's Lower East Side, the stories brilliantly evoke the oppressive atmosphere of crowded streets and shabby tenements and lay bare the despair of families trapped in unspeakable poverty, working at demeaning jobs, and coping with the barely hidden prejudices of their new land.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic... In stories that draw heavily on her own life, Anzia Yezierska portrays the immigrant's struggle to become a "real" American, in such stories as "Yekl,...

ISBN: 9780816632527 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. North Star Country explores country stores and county fairs, labor unions and dusty roads traveled by peddlers and truck drivers, and farms where families toil. Written in 1945 by acclaimed activist and writer Meridel Le Sueur, this unconventional history shines an uncommon light on the lives of ordinary people in the Upper Midwest.
In the tradition of James Agee and John Dos Passos, Le Sueur creates a mosaic from the fabric of everyday life, including newspapers clippings, private letters, diaries, and lyrics from popular songs. Each quotation and brief vignette opens a window to an entire...
