Ian Buruma examines the seven months (in Europe) and four months (in Asia) that followed surrender of the Axis powers, from the fate of Holocaust survivors liberated from the concentration camps, and the formation of the state of Israel, to the incipient civil war in China, and the allied occupation of Japan.

Jednoho listopadového dne zavraždil mladý rozhněvaný muslim výstřelem z pistole holandského filmového režiséra Theo van Gogha za to, že se spolu s černou imigrantkou a političkou Aján Hirsi Aliovou odvážil natočit ostrý prtiislámský snímek promítnutý v nizozemské televizi.

Taming the Gods: Religion and Democracy on Three Continents
ISBN: 9780691156057 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For eight years the president of the United States was a born-again Christian, backed by well-organized evangelicals who often seemed intent on erasing the church-state divide. In Europe, the increasing number of radicalized Muslims is creating widespread fear that Islam is undermining Western-style liberal democracy. And even in polytheistic Asia, the development of democracy has been hindered in some countries, particularly China, by a long history in which religion was tightly linked to the state. Ian Buruma is the first writer to provide a sharp-eyed look at the tensions...

Playing the Game
ISBN: 9780374526337 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Buruma's prismatic, fascinating first novel is a portrait of Ranji, the cricket player who was "not simply the greatest cricketer of all time, but a fairy tale prince . . . so famous that children sang songs about him, and grown men wept when they saw him play." Buruma weaves the adventures of an unnamed narrator together with a (fictional) undiscovered memoir of Ranji to create a witty and reverbatory meditation on England, India and the post-colonial sense of self.

From Naipaul's India to the last days of Hong Kong, and from the ghosts of Pearl Harbor to Benazir Bhutto, Buruma delivers an engaging and incisive look at the ways East and West understand-and misunderstand-each other.

Inventing Japan: 1853-1964
ISBN: 9780812972863 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In a single short book as elegant as it is wise, Ian Buruma makes sense of the most fateful span of Japan's history, the period that saw as dramatic a transformation as any country has ever known. In the course of little more than a hundred years from the day Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in his black ships, this insular, preindustrial realm mutated into an expansive military dictatorship that essentially supplanted the British, French, Dutch, and American empires in Asia before plunging to utter ruin, eventually emerging under American tutelage as a pseudo-Western-style democracy and...

A Tokyo Romance
ISBN: 9781782398028 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 'The whole thing sparks astonishingly to life' Observer When Ian Buruma arrived in Tokyo as a young film student in 1975, he found a feverish and surreal metropolis in the midst of an economic boom, where everything seemed new and history only remained in fragments. Through his adventures in the world of avant-garde theatre, his encounters with carnival acts, fashion photographers and moments on-set with Akira Kurosawa, Buruma came of age. For an outsider, unattached to the cultural burdens placed on the Japanese, this was a place to be truly free. A Tokyo Romance is a portrait of...

"I love freedom and I will long for the freedom of the soul and the dignity of being a human being for the rest of my life.

Occidentalism: The West in the Eyes of Its Enemies
ISBN: 9780143034872 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Twenty-five years ago, Edward Said's Orientalism spawned a generation of scholarship on the denigrating and dangerous mirage of "the East" in the Western colonial mind. But "the West" is the more dangerous mirage of our own time, Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit argue, and the idea of "the West" in the minds of its self-proclaimed enemies remains largely unexamined and woefully misunderstood. Occidentalism is their groundbreaking investigation of the demonizing fantasies and stereotypes about the Western world that fuel such hatred in the hearts of others. We generally understand...
