From the Uncollected Edmund Wilson
ISBN: 9780821411278 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many of Wilson's writings have been anthologized. But there is another body of work over fifty fine essays on aspects of contemporary literature and ideas that have been scattered in a variety of magazines, including "The New Yorker," "The New Republic," "Vanity Fair," and "The Nation." The editors, who recognize Wilson (1895-1972) as one of America's greatest men of letters of the twentieth century, also view his writing as a powerful antidote to late twentieth-century trends and fads and have collected his pieces here in the conviction that Wilson's writing is a permanently important model....

American Earthquake
ISBN: 9780374515072 / Angielski / Miękka / 1979 / 580 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. During a twelve-month period in 1930 and 1931, Edmund Wilson wrote a series of lengthy articles which he then collected in a book called American Jitters: A Year of the Slump. The resulting chronicle was hailed by the New York Times as "the best reporting that the period of depression has brought forth in the United States," and forms the heart of the present volume. In prose that is by turns dramatic and naturalistic, inflammatory and evocative, satirical and droll, Wilson painted an unforgettable portrait of a time when "the whole structure of American society seemed actually...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) The Dead Sea Scrolls, a collection of 972 documents discovered between 1946 and 1956, are of immeasurable religious and historical significance. They include the oldest known surviving copies of Biblical-era documents. The manuscripts shed considerable light on forms of Judaism never known before. These forms contain hints of Christianity, or as put elsewhere, it was the Judaism amid which Christ and his first followers lived, thought, and wrote. Edmund Wilson's book is a record of this great scholarly find. Wilson was a prolific literary critic and social commentator, not an...

ISBN: 9780374526689 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The truth is that the people of the United States are at the present time dominated and driven by two kinds of officially propagated fear: fear of the Soviet Union and fear of the income tax. These two terrors have been adjusted so as to complement one another and thus to keep the citizen of our free society under the strain of a double pressure from which he finds himself unable to escape -- like the man in the old Western story, who, chased into a narrow ravine by a buffalo, is confronted with a grizzly bear. If we fail to accept the tax, the Russian buffalo will butt and trample us, and...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) There are more than ten thousand particle accelerators in the world from the linear accelerators used for cancer therapy in modern hospitals to the giant 'atom-smashers' at international particle physics laboratories used to unlock the secrets of creation.
