The Fateful Year : England 1914
ISBN: 9780670919222 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Fateful Year by Mark Bostridge is the story of England in 1914. War with Germany, so often imagined and predicted, finally broke out when people were least prepared for it. Here, among a crowded cast of unforgettable characters, are suffragettes, armed with axes, destroying works of art, schoolchildren going on strike in support of their teachers, and celebrity aviators thrilling spectators by looping the loop. A theatrical diva prepares to shock her audience, while an English poet in the making sets out on a midsummer railway journey that will result in the creation of a poem that...

Witchcraft and Its Transformations, C. 1650 - C. 1750
ISBN: 9780198206538 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is an original and important study of the significance of witchcraft in English public life in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In his lively account, Bostridge explores contemporary beliefs about witchcraft and shows how it remained a serious concern across the spectrum of political opinion. He concludes that its gradual descent into polite ridicule had as much to do with political developments as with the birth of reason.

Vera Brittain and the First World War: The Story of Testament of Youth
ISBN: 9781472918574 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Vera Brittain and the First World War tells the remarkable story of the author behind Testament of Youth whilst charting the book's ascent to become one of the most loved memoirs of the First World War period. Such interest is set to expand even more in this centenary year of the war's outbreak. In the midst of her studies at Oxford when war broke out across Europe, Vera Brittain left university in 1915 to become a V.A.D (Voluntary Aid Detachment) nurse, treating soldiers in London, Malta and Etaples in France. The events of the First World War were to have an enormous impact on her life....

Testament of Youth
ISBN: 9780143039235 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 688 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Now a major motion picture starring Alicia Vikander and Kit Harington
Much of what we know and feel about the First World War we owe to Vera Brittain's elegiac yet unsparing book, which set a standard for memoirists from Martha Gellhorn to Lillian Hellman. Abandoning her studies at Oxford in 1915 to enlist as a nurse in the armed services, Brittain served in London, in Malta, and on the Western Front. By war's end she had lost virtually everyone she loved. Testament of Youth is both a record of what she lived through and an elegy for a vanished generation. Hailed by the...
