Cow People
ISBN: 9780292710603 / Angielski / Miękka / 1981 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Cow People records the fading memories of a bygone Texas, the reminiscences of the cow people themselves. These are the Texans of the don't-fence-me-in era, their faces pinched by years of squinting into the desert glare, tanned by the sun and coarsened by the dust of the Chisholm Trail. Their stories are often raucous but just as often quiet as hot plains under a pale Texan sky. A native Texan, J. Frank Dobie had an inborn knowledge of the men and customs of the trail camps. Cattlemen were as various as the country was big. Ab Blocker was a tall, quiet man who belonged...

Logos & Revelation: Ibn 'Arabi, Meister Eckhart, and Mystical Hermeneutics
ISBN: 9780813216775 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is 'mysticism' and, most importantly, how do the great mystical writers understand it? "Logos and Revelation" seeks to answer this question by looking closely at the writings of two of the most prominent medieval mystical writers: the Muslim, Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) and the Christian, Meister Eckhart (1260-1328). Through his careful examination of the writings of these men, Robert J. Dobie discovers that mystical reflection and experience are intrinsically and essentially tied to the 'mystical' or 'hidden sense' of the sacred text. Mystical reflection and experience are, therefore, at...

The Longhorns
ISBN: 9780292746275 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Texas Longhorn made more history than any other breed of cattle the world has known. These wiry, intractable beasts were themselves pioneers in a harsh land, moving elementally with drouth, grass, Arctic blizzards, and burning winds. Their story is the bedrock on which the history of the cow country of America is founded. J. Frank Dobie was a tale spinner who appreciated the proper place of legend and folklore in history. In The Longhorns, he tells of the Spanish conquistadors, who brought their cattle with them; of ranching in the turbulent colonial times; of the...

The Voice of the Coyote, Second Edition
ISBN: 9780803266599 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In The Voice of the Coyote, J. Frank Dobie melds natural history with tales and lore in articulating the complex and often contentious relationship between coyotes and humans. Based on his own life experiences in Texas and twenty-five years of research, Dobie forges a sympathetic and nuanced picture of the coyote prefiguring later environmental and conservation movements. He recognizes the impact of human action on the coyote while also examining the prominent role of the coyote in the myths and legends of the West.

Puro Mexicano
ISBN: 9781574410969 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The cream of a large collection of Mexican lore has been accumulated over many years, partly through contributions by lovers of the "gente" all over the Southwest and partly through editor J. Frank Dobie's ramblings in northern Mexico. Tales make up the largest category; however, more realistic are the accounts of Mexican customs and sayings. Another type of popular expression is the "corrido," or ballad, and the tall tale is well represented, too, especially in connection with two mighty folk-heroes, Juan Oso and Catorce.
