George Sanders, Zsa Zsa, and Me
ISBN: 9780810126244 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Taking its inspiration from Sanders s own autobiography Memoirs of a Professional Cad (1960), this book is part witty, bawdy, and irreverent memoir, part moving meditation on the price of fame; like most of David Slavitt s work, it defies easy categorization. In George Sanders, Zsa Zsa, and Me, Slavitt looks back to his career as a film critic in the glamorousat least superficiallyworld of 1950s Hollywood, when he traveled in circles that included the talented British actor George Sanders (19061972) and his then-wife, Zsa Zsa Gabor, who was talented at, well,...

ISBN: 9781936196418 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Slavitt's] sentences are so unburdened by the trivial or any kind of distraction, so transparent, that it would be too gross even to say that they are like angels in the sky. Because they don't just hang around in the sky like angels; they are the sky. They are not merely fluent, though fluency is hard to come by and something to be treasured; they flow as unhaltingly as a creek or waterfall. If I compare Slavitt's sentences to natural phenomena, it may be because he himself is rather a natural phenomenon: a man who writes easily, copiously, and beautifully. Kelly cherry, author of A Kind of...

The Book of the Twelve Prophets
ISBN: 9780195132144 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) This is a glittering new translation of the portion of the Hebrew Bible known as the Book of the Twelve Prophets, or the Twelve "Minor" Prophets. In the Bible, the books of the prophets are arranged in rough order of length. The present group of writings thus appears after the so-called "major" prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel), and includes the much shorter texts of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. At the time when all biblical books were written on scrolls, these twelve brief prophetic texts were traditionally...

The Duke's Man
ISBN: 9780810127005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Historical fiction has long ranked somewhere just above romance novels and mysteries in the great chain of literary respectability, yet as David Slavitt points out in his humorous yet loving send-up of the genre, riches might be found in the most unlikely sources. "The Duke s Man" is, in a way, old and new a condensation and commentary and a literary mash-up. The eponymous character is Louis de Clermont, Comte de Bussy d Amboise, a gentleman of the court of King Henri III of France, and the hero of Dumas three-volume historical novel "La Dame de Monsoreau" (1846). Dumas novel serves here as...

Falling from Silence: Poems
ISBN: 9780807126738 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 87 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Falling from Silence is the seventy-third book by David Slavitt, the prolific poet, translator, and editor. His amazing rate of production has only amplified and refined the power of his art. This is the work of an accomplished veteran, a craftsman who laments the limitations of what his hard-earned talent can do in the face of age and loss. He turns to religion, reads the classics, and in moments of cheer that may not be mere mania, he horses around and fools with the words that have been his toys, but nothing helps - or, more accurately, nothing helps enough. It is nevertheless true that,...

Plautus: The Darker Comedies: Bacchides, Casina, and Truculentus
ISBN: 9780801829017 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The plays translated in this volume represent everything one would not expect either from the third-century B.C. playwright Plautus or from Roman comedy in general. A common theme in all three comedies is the triumph of women over men. In Truculentus, prostitutes snare all of the men in the play; in Bacchides, the victims include fathers and sons. In Casina, Plautus creates a fantasy that turns traditional social and sexual roles upside down. The plays' mordant, cynical treatment of the normal plots and casts of Roman comedy, their dark humor rooted in...

Epinician Odes and Dithyrambs

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Epinician Odes and Dithyrambs of Bacchylides Translated by David R. Slavitt "Slavitt has an astonishing knack for making classical poetry readable and, above all, experienceable. . . . He] seems to have a free and easy--and very personal--conversance with the ancient world, and this is refreshing indeed; it makes that whole world available to us in ways it has not been before. . . . He has such an easy, tolerant, believable relationship with the ancient world and its authors that making the changeover from that world to ours is less a leap than an enjoyable stroll."--James Dickey Until a...
