The Book of God: A Response to the Bible
ISBN: 9780300048650 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 365 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Is the Bible one book or a collection of writings? If it is a book, does it stand as a coherent piece of literature? Building on the recently renewed interest in biblical narrative associated with Erich Auerbach, Northrop Frye, and Robert Alter, Gabriel Josipovici here sets out to answer these and other equally fascinating questions. Developing his argument through close textual analysis, Josipovici draws on his deep knowledge and appreciation of medieval and modern art and literature and on his personal understanding of the possibilities of narrative. His beautifully written book not only...

Goldberg: Variations
ISBN: 9780060897239 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At the turn of the eighteenth century, a writer--a Jew--enters an English country manor, where he has been invited to read through the night to his host until the gentleman falls asleep. What unfolds then are seemingly unconnected stories covering a vast array of topics--from incest to madness to a poetic competition in the court of George III. And what emerges by the end is a breathtaking tapestry in which past and present, imagination and truth, are intricately woven together into one remarkable whole.

Hamlet: Fold on Fold
ISBN: 9780300218329 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. William Shakespeare's Hamlet is probably the best-known and most commented upon work of literature in Western culture. The paradox is that it is at once utterly familiar and strangely elusive--very like our own selves, argues Gabriel Josipovici in this stimulating and original study. Moreover, our desire to master this elusiveness, to "pluck the heart out of its mystery," as Hamlet himself says, precisely mirrors what is going on in the play; and what Shakespeare's play demonstrates is that to conceive human character (and works of art) in this way is profoundly misguided.
Rather... William Shakespeare's Hamlet is probably the best-known and most commented upon work of literature in Western culture. The paradox is that it i...

In a Hotel Garden
ISBN: 9780811212915 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In a Hotel Garden is a provocative work by the English novelist once described by Sir Frank Kermode as “an admirable and rare example of the writer-critic.” It is a captivating novella, written almost entirely in dialogue. In a Hotel Garden unfolds character and meaning with a lovely, meditative tension. The narrator Ben relates to his friends his enthralling encounter with a Jewish woman in the Dolomite Alps. The tale of her compulsive visit to a hotel garden in Siena––where her grandmother fell in love with a man soon to be a victim of the Holocaust––illuminates Ben’s...

What is the place of modern art, with its underlying principles of fragmentation, dislocation and parody in the culture and education of today?

These are some of the questions raised by Gabriel Josipovici in this collections of essays, now in its second edition. To the first edition, which won the South East Arts Literature Prize for 1978, the author has added a new preface, explaining the continuing relevance of the argument of the book to a new...

Touch
ISBN: 9780300181067 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this brilliant book, a preeminent literary thinker muses over the central question of how we can feel at home in the world, given that the world is independent of and indifferent to our wishes. Drawing on books and films, cultural history and his own experiences, Gabriel Josipovici argues that it is possible to feel comfortable in the world and in our relationships with others only if we value touch over sight, if we respect distance but also work to overcome it. Josipovici moves from a Charlie Chaplin film to passages from Proust, from the world of sport to the world of addiction, from...

The Cemetery in Barnes: A Novel
ISBN: 9781784105464 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Gabriel Josipovici's The Cemetery in Barnes is a short, intense novel that opens in elegiac mode, advances quietly towards something dark and disturbing, before ending with an eerie calm. Its three plots, relationships and time-scales are tightly woven into a single story; three voices - as in an opera by Monteverdi - provide the soundtrack, enhanced by a chorus of friends and acquaintances. The main voice is that of a translator who moves from London to Paris and then to Wales, the setting for an unexpected conflagration. The ending at once confirms and suspends the reader's darkest...

What Ever Happened to Modernism?
ISBN: 9780300178005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The quality of today's literary writing arouses the strongest opinions. For novelist and critic Gabriel Josipovici, the contemporary novel in English is profoundly disappointing--a poor relation of its groundbreaking Modernist forebears. This agile and passionate book asks why. Modernism, Josipovici suggests, is only superficially a reaction to industrialization or a revolution in diction and form; essentially, it is art coming to consciousness of its own limits and responsibilities. And its origins are to be sought not in 1850 or 1800, but in the early 1500s, with the crisis of society... The quality of today's literary writing arouses the strongest opinions.
