ISBN: 9780060837068 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this unique biography of Thomas Jefferson, leading journalist and social critic Christopher Hitchens offers a startlingly new and provocative interpretation of our Founding Father--a man conflicted by power who wrote the Declaration of Independence and acted as ambassador to France yet yearned for a quieter career in the Virginia legislature. A masterly writer, Jefferson was an awkward public speaker.

Why Orwell Matters
ISBN: 9780465030507 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this widely acclaimed biographical essay, Christopher Hitchens assesses the life, the achievements, and the myth of the great political writer and participant George Orwell. In true emulative and contrarian style, Hitchens is both admiring and aggressive, sympathetic yet critical, taking true measure of his subject as hero and problem. Answering both the detractors and the false claimants, Hitchens tears down the facade of sainthood erected by the hagiographers and rebuts the critics point by point. He examines Orwell and his perspectives on fascism, empire, feminism, and Englishness, as...

ISBN: 9781560255925 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since the end of the Cold War so-called experts have been predicting the eclipse of America's "special relationship" with Britain. But as events have shown, especially in the wake of 9/11, the political and cultural ties between America and Britain have grown stronger. Blood, Class and Empire examines the dynamics of this relationship, its many cultural manifestations--the James Bond series, PBS "brit Kitsch," Rudyard Kipling--and explains why it still persists. Contrarian, essayist and polemicist Christopher Hitchens notes that while the relationship is usually presented as a matter of...

Blaming the Victims: Spurious Scholarship and the Palestinian Question
ISBN: 9781859843406 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the 1948 war which drove them from their heartland, the Palestinian people have consistently been denied the most basic democratic rights. "Blaming the Victims"shows how the historical fate of the Palestinians has been justified by spurious academic attempts to dismiss their claim to a home within the boundaries of historical Palestine and even to deny their very existence.
Beginning with a thorough expose of the fraudulent assertions of Joan Peters concerning the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine prior to 1948, the book then turns to similar instances in Middle East research...
