ISBN: 9780299180003 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this remarkable biographical essay, Colm Toibin examines the contradictions that defined Lady Gregory, an essential figure in Irish cultural history.

Lady Gregory's...

A Guest at the Feast uncovers the places where politics and poetics meet, where life and fiction overlap, where one can be inside writing and also outside of it. From the melancholy and amusement within the work of the writer John McGahern to an extraordinary essay on his own cancer diagnosis, Toibin delineates the bleakness and strangeness of life and also its richness and its complexity. As he reveals the shades of light and dark in a Venice without tourists and the streets of Buenos Aires riddled with disappearances, we find ourselves considering law and religion in Ireland as well as...
