ISBN: 9780393313963 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Girl with Curious Hair is replete with David Foster Wallace's remarkable and unsettling reimaginations of reality. From the eerily "real," almost holographic evocations of historical figures like Lyndon Johnson and overtelevised game-show hosts and late-night comedians to the title story, where terminal punk nihilism meets Young Republicanism, Wallace renders the incredible comprehensible, the bizarre normal, the absurd hilarious, the familiar strange.

John Paul's choice to yoke faith and reason together in an encyclical on the two sources of knowledge caught the world's By stressing the two wings of Catholic thought, the pope captures in the lively image of a soaring bird the same point that theologians like von Balthasar communicate by calling truth symphonic. This work aims to deepen the appreciation for the stereophonic approach to truth that the Holy Father recommends.

Zapomnění
ISBN: 9788087705865 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 508 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Svůj poslední soubor povídek Zapomnění psal David Foster Wallace paralelně s již nedokončeným románem Bledý král. Kniha vyšla roku 2004. Témata osobní identity a možností porozumění i sebeporozumění se ve Wallaceových textech prolínají s nejsoučasnějšími technikami ovlivňování a vnější prezentace a kladou – nevyslovenou, snad i nevyslovitelnou? – otázku, na co jsme vlastně zapomněli.
David Foster Wallace (1962–2008) patřil k nejoriginálnějším anglicky píšícím autorům přelomu tisíciletí. Proslul především románem Nekonečný... Svůj poslední soubor povídek Zapomnění psal David Foster Wallace paralelně s již nedokončeným románem Bledý král. Kniha vyšla roku 2004. ...

Mexico City in Contemporary Mexican Cinema
ISBN: 9780292725423 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Through close readings of fourteen recent critically acclaimed films, this book watches Mexican cinema in this process of producing cultural meaning through its creation, enaction, and interpretation of the idea of Mexico City. David... Just as Mexican national life has come to center on the sprawling, dynamic, almost indefinable metropolis of Mexico City, so recent Mexican cinema ... |
