Tajemství a mravy, soubor přednášek a esejů věhlasné jižanské prozaičky Flannery O’Connorové, který po její smrti sestavili její přátelé Robert a Sally Fitzgeraldovi, působí i dnes jako pronikavá sonda odhalující nešvary spisovatelů, čtenářů i učitelů literatury. O’Connorová se sžíravou ironií kritizuje čtenářský vkus, který se od přelomu 50. a 60. let 20. století, kdy její texty vznikaly, nijak nepozvedl, vtipně vysvětluje začínajícím autorům, čeho se mají při psaní povídek a románů vyvarovat, a na příkladech ukazuje, že se...

Všechno, co se povznáší, se musí setkat
ISBN: 9788025708699 / Czeski / 2013 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Může Kristus vytetovaný na zádech obrátit svého nositele na pravou víru? Ani v druhé povídkové sbírce Flannery O’Connorové nechybí její oblíbená témata: víra či nevíra a důsledky z toho plynoucí, rodinné rozbroje, rasové postoje, mezilidská nepochopení a nedorozumění, otázky vykoupení či poznání světa – to vše autorka opět podává v dokonalém absurdním tvaru. Flannery O’Connorová sbírku dokončila těsně před smrtí v roce 1964 a jejího vydání se nedočkala.
Název úvodní povídky i celé sbírky pochází z citátu francouzského... Může Kristus vytetovaný na zádech obrátit svého nositele na pravou víru? Ani v druhé povídkové sbírce Flannery O’Connorové nechybí jej...

The Emperor's New Clothes: Literature, Literacy and the Ideology of Style (Pittsburgh Series in Composition, Literacy and Culture)
ISBN: 9780822937999 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the Renaissance, what has been considered the "best" style of writing has always been connected with the dominant cultural agenda of the time. In "The Emperor's New Clothes", Kathryn Flannery offers a demystifying perspective on theorists who have argued for an essential distinction between "content" and "style", and focuses on the importance of understanding written prose style as a cultural asset. Flannery makes a strong case for the social significance of content and style and their relevance to a culture's practice of literacy. She tackles assumptions about authorship, the dangers...

The Square Root of 2: A Dialogue Concerning a Number and a Sequence
ISBN: 9780387202204 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The square root of 2 is a fascinating number - if a little less famous than such mathematical stars as pi, the number e, the golden ratio, or the square root of -1. (Each of these has been honored by at least one recent book.) Here, in an imaginary dialogue between teacher and student, readers will learn why v2 is an important number in its own right, and how, in puzzling out its special qualities, mathematicians gained insights into the illusive nature of irrational numbers. Using no more than basic high school algebra and geometry, David Flannery manages to convey not just why v2 is...

A Good Man is Hard to Find: Faber Stories
ISBN: 9780571351817 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. A family sets out on a road trip in the American South.

But when their car turns over in a ditch, who should they flag down for help but the very man whose picture they recognise from the paper . . .
