ISBN: 9781850439677 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Bringing together specialists from the fields of international relations, history and politics, this work attempts to answer three main questions regarding the 20th century. It considers what the century's salient characteristics have been, what else is ending as the century ends, and whether Churchill was right in calling it a ""disappointing century.""
As the contributors address these issues, they also discuss whether it has been an American century or a ""nuclear"" century, and whether it marks the ""end of history,"" the triumph of Western liberalism, or merely the end of the Cold...

The Letters of Paul Cezanne
ISBN: 9780500295175 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. A singular thinker and an uncompromising seeker after artistic truth, Cezanne channelled a large part of his wide-ranging intellect and ferocious wit into his letters. This translation by Alex Danchev is based on a thorough re-examination of Cezanne's correspondence with family, friends and major figures from the literary and art worlds. Danchev's great achievement is to allow readers in English to hear Cezanne's voice for the first time in his own idiomatic, idiosyncratic style. And he sounds rather different from the Cezanne we thought we knew - richer, wittier, wiser, more philosophical,...
