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...

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.

The Mission of the Portuguese Augustinians to Persia and Beyond (1602-1747)
ISBN: 9789004243828 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Mission of the Portuguese Augustinians to Persia and Beyond (1602-1747), John M. Flannery describes the establishment and activities of the Portuguese Augustinian mission in Persia. Hopes of converting the Safavid ruler of the Shi'a Muslim state would come to naught, as would the attempts of Shah 'Abbas I to use the services of the missionaries, as representatives of the Spanish Habsburgs, to forge an anti-Ottoman alliance with the papacy and the Christian rulers of Europe. Prevented from converting Muslims, the Augustinians turned their attention to Armenian and Syriac Christians in...

New Taiwanese Cinema in Focus: Moving Within and Beyond the Frame
ISBN: 9781474405577 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the Taiwanese film industry, the dichotomy between 'art house' and commercially viable films is heavily emphasised. However, since the democratisation of the political landscape in Taiwan, Taiwanese cinema has become internationally fluid. As the case studies in this book demonstrate, film-makers such as Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, Tsai Ming-liang and Ang Lee each engage with international audience expectations. New Taiwanese Cinema in Focus therefore presents the Taiwanese New Wave and Second Wave movements with an emphasis on intertextuality, citation and transcultural dialogue....
