A Second Coming: [birth of the poet] a memoir
ISBN: 9780595378555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A terrifying descent into madness, the first fearful steps on the path to recovery, this uncompromising memoir captures all the urgent and hypnotic tension of a commercial thriller. "A Second Coming"-the companion volume to Swartz's great long-poem 'The Will to Christ"-is a probing investigation of the unconscious and metaphysical wellsprings of a singular poetic gift.
And yet it is more. This story is without question the most accurate portrayal to date of the largely uncharted regions of schizophrenia, a compelling and solitary journey into yogic meditation and a massive abuse of...

Fragments in Search of Him: [deconstructing Megraw]
ISBN: 9780595408467 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "FRAGments" is a book-length poem addressing, albeit obliquely, the fate of a glittering young man who departed the poet's world, first, from college in 1960, and then, later, by death, from a strangely prescient Vietnam, in 1967.
Megraw, beyond just memory, haunts five hard decades. The "hazel eyes, the perfect teeth, the preppy suits, the ease, the careless conversation, the impossible glitter" survive as simply "FRAGments." The search is unending. "[Here. Oh. Sorry. No. Sorry. I am very sorry.] Deceased." A Friday morning phone call in 1982 and the concluding ["There. JUST . . .... "FRAGments" is a book-length poem addressing, albeit obliquely, the fate of a glittering young man who departed the poet's world, first, from college ...

Pieta`: Song of the Blessed Virgin
ISBN: 9780595511235 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Pieta: Song of the Blessed Virgin " is the culminating volume of a master poet, who has charted his own truth and passage through the thicket of lesser work, of a host of contemporaries with limited pith and vision, venal ambition, a dogged tendency to measure themselves against peers and seldom the truly great. Witness here some sample rejections:
"Your work has great power and mounting intensity but takes us further than we care to follow." "We can't publish this, but I'd like to meet you." "Your poem 'The Hitler Sonata'] would seep through the adjacent pages of our magazine and...

The Old Man and the Bird and Other Fictions: [pleasant and unpleasant]
ISBN: 9780595416295 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Six dark fictions with a cosmic scope and a delirious immediacy, these shorter pieces (2 novellas and 4 one-acts) are an aspect of Swartz's gift many will find welcome, others hugely unsettling.
"The Old Man and the Bird, " the concluding sequence of a befuddled Harry Ricci, could be taken as a "neo-conservatively-grotesque" parable. From there it is a short stroll to Burt Spew in "Snappers," a madcap Armageddon of its own and parody of "Jaws." We have as well such oddities as "The Damnation of Winston Pollock," the saga of a disgruntled software wizard; "The Gift Horse and the Gift,"...

ISBN: 9780595368518 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The author studied at Penn State, where he played no football, and Iowa, where he skirted the Workshop. He found God, lysergic acid, and despair in the Sixties, survived by getting that era into his art-some nineteen novels, twelve verse plays and more poetry than Browning.
"The Will to Christ" contains ambition, a paean to bipolar disorder, four dramatic monologues by major players in the genesis and termination of the only messiah he's known, poetry on a sustained level that is often frightening. While the author has two other books and over a hundred poems in print, another ninety... The author studied at Penn State, where he played no football, and Iowa, where he skirted the Workshop.

Pierre Bourdieu is one of the world's most important social theorists and is also one of the great empirical researchers in contemporary sociology.

David Swartz focuses on a central theme in Bourdieu's work the complex relationship between culture and power and explains that sociology for Bourdieu is a mode of political intervention. Swartz clarifies Bourdieu's difficult concepts, noting where they have...

ISBN: 9780226925011 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Power is the central organizing principle of all social life, from culture and education to stratification and taste. And there is no more prominent name in the analysis of power than that of noted sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Throughout his career, Bourdieu challenged the commonly held view that symbolic power-the power to dominate-is solely symbolic. He emphasized that symbolic power helps create and maintain social hierarchies, which form the very bedrock of political life. By the time of his death in 2002, Bourdieu had become a leading public intellectual, and his argument about the more...
