Vendetta: Essays on Honor and Revenge
ISBN: 9781443820806 / Twarda / 2010 / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In spite of our clever and urban modern logic, our sharp common sense of destruction and reaction versus the more gratifying construction and proactive action, we still weave talionic plots that go beyond staged tragedies and past eras. Revenge continues to be popular in fiction as in non-fictional realms. As an audience, we enjoy films and books that hail the ‘getting even’ philosophy; even our most renowned children’s stories are seeded in vindication and retribution (Hansel and Gretel, Red Riding Hood, and Snow White, just to name a few), as our television programs, targeted to a...

New Perspectives on the European Bildungsroman
ISBN: 9781441108531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. New Perspectives on the European Bildungsroman reflects the change in direction of research on the Bildungsroman, focusing on more psychological, authorial and feminist contents. Departing from the father of the prototype of the genre, Goethe, the authors trace imperative pathways to its French, British, and Italian counterparts, examining spiritual and female Bildungsromane. A wide-ranging analysis provides fresh insights into the genre through comparative analyses of Bildungsromane both diatopically and diachronically, while critical analysis of novels such as Voltaire's Candide,...

Patois and Linguistic Pastiche in Modern Literature
ISBN: 9781847182111 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In an era of globalization and European standardization, dialect, patois, and linguistic pastiche are marks of identity, of individual and regional nature. Paraphrasing the words of Luigi Pirandello, one tends to use the standard national language to express the concept, while one opts to use one's regional dialect to express the feeling. The literary tradition has always accepted language mixing. Linguists and literary critics have studied this phenomenon from different perspectives. No in-depth treatment, however, has been offered so far as to the causes, conditions, consequences, and...

The Politics of Poetics: Poetry and Social Activism in Early-Modern Through Contemporary Italy
ISBN: 9781443846233 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Through a series of original analyses of poetic works belonging to the Italian canon or purposely posing themselves at the margins of it, this book seeks to highlight poetry as an art form which has the capacity to show the incongruities of society, not just semantically, but especially through the use it makes of signifiers, which allow meaning to come through notwithstanding linear communication. Specifically, this volume identifies and analyzes a line of diverse early modern to contemporary Italian poetic works in which the goal is not only to imitate or represent the world, but to enact a...
