Nadine Gordimer
ISBN: 9780521475495 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this study, which may be used as an introduction as well as by those already familiar with Gordimer's work, Dominic Head discusses each of Nadine Gordimer's novels in detail, examining the texts both as a reflection of events and situations in the real world, and as evidence of her constant rethinking of her craft. Head shows how Gordimer's typical concerns are developed through increasing stress on the politics of textuality; and he considers how her work as a whole contributes to the creation of a literature to challenge apartheid.

J. M. Coetzee
ISBN: 9780521482325 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. J. M. Coetzee's work addresses some of the key critical issues of our time: the relationship between postmodernism and postcolonialism, the role of history in the novel, and, repeatedly, how the author can combine a political consciousness with a commitment to the novel as a work of fiction.
