R.K Narayan
ISBN: 9780746309544 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A detailed critical study of the leading Indian novelist in English and a key figure in the development of a distinctive postcolonial literature. This study covers all of Narayan's work, offering an accessible introduction to his life and fiction with detailed analyses of the major novels.

The Politics of Irish Drama: Plays in Context from Boucicault to Friel
ISBN: 9780521665360 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Politics of Irish Drama analyzes some twenty-five of the best-known Irish plays from those of Dion Boucicault to Sebastian Barry, including works by Shaw, Yeats, Lady Gregory and Beckett. The book looks at political contexts for these plays and, in arguing for the outward-directed nature of dramatic representation of Ireland, shows Irish drama to be an international as much as national phenomenon.

Work and Days
ISBN: 9781617207204 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Work and days is a didactic poem of some 800 verses written by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod around 700 BC. At its center, the Works and Days is a farmers almanac in which Hesiod instructs his brother Perses in the agricultural arts. Scholars have seen this work against a background of agrarian crisis in mainland Greece, which inspired a wave of colonial expeditions in search of new land. In the poem Hesiod also offers his brother extensive moralizing advice on how he should live his life.

Shakespeare's Tragic Imagination
ISBN: 9780333668641 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The world of Macbeth, with its absolutes of good and evil, seems very remote from the shifting perspectives of Antony and Cleopatra, or the psychological and political realities of Coriolanus . Yet all three plays share similar thematic concerns and preoccupations: the relations of power to legitimating authority, for instance, or of male and female roles in the imagination of (male) heoric endeavour. In this acclaimed study, Nicholas Grene shows how all nine plays written in Shakespeare's main tragic period display this combination of strikingly different milieu balanced by thematic...

Topics in the Philosophy of Biology
ISBN: 9789027705969 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The philosophy of biology should move to the center of the philosophy of science - a place it has not been accorded since the time of Mach. Physics was the paradigm of science, and its shadow falls across con- temporary philosophy of biology as well, in a variety of contexts: reduction, organization and system, biochemical mechanism, and the models of law and explanation which derive from the Duhem-Popper- Hempel tradition. This volume, we think, offers ample evidence of how good contempo- rary work in the philosophical understanding of biology has become. Marjorie Grene and Everett...
