ISBN: 9780199555017 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Eminent Victorians is a groundbreaking work of biography that raised the genre to the level of high art.

His portraits of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Arnold, and General Gordon changed perceptions of the Victorians for a generation.
Lytton Strachey's biographical essays on four "eminent Victorians" dropped an explosive charge on Victorian England when the book was published in 1918.

Eminent Victorians
ISBN: 9781548112325 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. On Modern Library's list of 100 Best Non-Fiction books, "Eminent Victorians" marked an epoch in the art of biography; it also helped to crack the old myths of high Victorianism and to usher in a new spirit by which chauvinism, hypocrisy and the stiff upper lip were debunked. In it, Strachey cleverly exposes the self-seeking ambitions of Cardinal Manning and the manipulative, neurotic Florence Nightingale; and in his essays on Dr Arnold and General Gordon, his quarries are not only his subjects but also the public-school system and the whole structure of nineteenth-century liberal values.

Eminent Victorians
ISBN: 9781514229170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. THE history of the Victorian Age will never be written; we know too much about it. For ignorance is the first requisite of the historian-ignorance, which simplifies and clarifies, which selects and omits, with a placid perfection unattainable by the highest art. Concerning the Age which has just passed, our fathers and our grandfathers have poured forth and accumulated so vast a quantity of information that the industry of a Ranke would be submerged by it, and the perspicacity of a Gibbon would quail before it.

Elizabeth and Essex: A Tragic History
ISBN: 9780156027618 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of the most famous and baffling romances in history-between Elizabeth I, Queen of England and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex-began in May of 1587, when she was fifty-three and he was just shy of twenty. Their relationship continued until 1601, when the Earl of Essex was beheaded for treason. And, in a succession of brilliant scenes, Strachey portrays the Queen's and the Earl's compelling attraction for on another, their impassioned disagreements, and their mutual contest for power, which led to a final, tragic confrontation. Here we also have superb portraits of influential people of the...

Heiteres Wetter zur Hochzeit
ISBN: 9783038200949 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2021 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Heiteres Wetter zur Hochzeit erschien erstmals 1932 in der Hogarth Press bei Leonard und Virginia Woolf. Der kleine bitterböse britische Roman ist auch heute ebenso erheiternd und scharfsinnig wie vor siebzig Jahren: An ihrem Hochzeitstag wird einer jungen Braut bewusst, dass sie dabei ist, einen schwerwiegenden Fehler zu begehen. Ein frischer Märztag an der Küste von Dorset. Dolly ist im Begriff, den Ehrenwerten Owen Bingham zu heiraten. Die Begegnung mit ihrem enttäuschten Verehrer, der es nicht geschafft hat, sie für sich zu gewinnen, schreckt die Braut auf. Und Dolly wendet sich -...

Eminent Victorians: Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale, Dr. Arnold, General Gordon
ISBN: 9781463714833 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Now re-formatted and typeset for clarity. Nominated as one of the "All-time Top 100 Non-Fiction Books" by the UK Guardian newspaper in 2011. Lytton Strachey's biographical essays on four 'eminent Victorians' caused uproar when the book was published in 1918. Instead of being laudatory or jingoistic - like many biographies up to that time - Strachey pulled no punches in describing England's adored heroes; his wit, insight and engaging narratives thrilled as well as shocked his contemporaries. Debunking Church, Public School and Empire, his portraits of Cardinal Manning, Florence Nightingale,...
