Gertrude Stein and the Making of an American Celebrity
ISBN: 9780415994729 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is a cultural history of Stein's rise to fame and the function of literary celebrity in America from 1910 to 1935. By examining not the ways that Stein portrayed the popular in her work, but the ways the popular portrayed her, this study shows that there was an intimate relationship between literary modernism and mainstream culture and that modernist writers and texts were much more well-known than has been previously acknowledged. Specifically, Leick reveals through the case study of Stein that the relationship between mass culture and modernism in America was less antagonistic,...

The Babylonians: An Introduction
ISBN: 9780415253147 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For centuries, Babylon has been a symbol of the decadent city par excellence, signifying a deep mistrust of urbanization in general. In the Bible, the city has only negative connotations; and while later classical writers admired the city's size and splendour, they deplored some of its more unusual customs. Whatever the perspective taken, it was usual to take Babylon as standing for the whole of Mesopotamian civilization. The history of the Babylonians spans some 1800 years, from the time of Hammurabi, famous for his Law-Code, to the time when Alexander's heirs ruled the Near East....
