The Story of Siegfried
ISBN: 9781478338086 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When the world was in its childhood, men looked upon the works of Nature with a strange kind of awe. They fancied that every thing upon the earth, in the air, or in the water, had a life like their own, and that every sight which they saw, and every sound which they heard, was caused by some intelligent being. All men were poets, so far as their ideas and their modes of expression were concerned, although it is not likely that any of them wrote poetry. This was true in regard to the Saxon in his chilly northern home, as well as to the Greek in the sunny southland. But, while the balmy air and...

The Fire Next Time
ISBN: 9780679744726 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A national bestseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation and gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described by The New York Times Book...

The Devil Finds Work
ISBN: 9780307275950 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Baldwin's personal reflections on movies gathered here in a book-length essay are also a probing appraisal of American racial politics. Offering an incisive look at racism in American movies and a vision of America's self-delusions and deceptions, Baldwin challenges the underlying assumptions in such films as In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and The Exorcist. Here are our loves and hates, biases and cruelties, fears and ignorance reflected by the films that have entertained us and shaped our consciousness. And here too is the stunning prose of a...

In this tender, impassioned fourth novel, James Baldwin created one of his most striking characters: a man struggling to become himself.

As he hovers between life and death, we see the choices that have made him enviably famous and terrifyingly vulnerable.

Old Greek Stories
ISBN: 9781514195758 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Perhaps no other stories have ever been told so often or listened to with so much pleasure as the classic tales of ancient Greece. For many ages they have been a source of delight to young people and old, to the ignorant and the learned, to all who love to hear about and contemplate things mysterious, beautiful, and grand. They have become so incorporated into our language and thought, and so interwoven with our literature, that we could not do away with them now if we would. They are a portion of our heritage from the distant past, and they form perhaps as important a part of our...

Four Great Americans: Washington, Franklin, Webster, Lincoln
ISBN: 9781515369615 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When George Washington was a boy there was no United States. The land was here, just as it is now, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific; but nearly all of it was wild and unknown. Between the Atlantic Ocean and the Alleghany Mountains there were thirteen colonies, or great settlements. The most of the people who lived in these colonies were English people, or the children of English people; and so the King of England made their laws and appointed their governors.

The Wonder-Book of Horses
ISBN: 9786253870065 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. SINCE the publication of my larger book, "The Horse Fair," many letters have been received from teachers and their scholars telling of the pleasure derived from the reading of it, and incidentally suggesting that much of its contents is directly in line with the courses of literary instruction pursued in our elementary schools. This suggestion has led me to col-lect certain of the stories into a smaller volume especially adapted for use as a school reading-book. The eighteen stories in this volume have been chosen with a thought to their educative value as well as for the intrinsic charm of...

His father, Siegmund, was king of the rich country through which the lazy Rhine winds its way just before reaching the great North Sea; and he was known, both far and near, for his good deeds and his prudent thrift. And Siegfried's mother, the gentle Sigelind, was loved by all for her goodness of heart and her kindly charity to the poor. Neither king nor queen left aught undone that might make the young prince happy, or fit him for life's usefulness. Wise men were brought from far-off lands to be his teachers; and...
