ISBN: 9780739111130 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Casablanca is perhaps the most widely viewed motion picture ever made, often finishing on critics' lists second only to Citizen Kane. What accounts for its continuing popularity? What chord does it strike with audiences? What lesson does Casablanca teach Americans about themselves? What influence does popular culture have on public mores? The contributors to...

Assault on Ideology: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Political Thought
ISBN: 9780739105948 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is almost a forgotten man, a relic of the Cold War, like some broken and discarded bit of the Berlin Wall. He is also one of the most important writers of the 20th century, and has had more direct influence on politics than any author since Jean Jacques Rousseau. At a critical time after America's loss in Vietnam, Solzhenitsyn stood as a towering moral force against a policy of appeasement towards an evil adversary.

ISBN: 9781587315572 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Virtue is not what it used to be. It has lost its good name. If virtue were a television show, it would garner low ratings and promptly be cancelled. If virtue were running for president, it would fare poorly in the Iowa caucuses and would drop out of the race after a weak showing in the New Hampshire primary. Virtue has a bad name, both because people no longer use the term and because it is associated with repression of desires. Today, it not considered healthy to keep inner urges at bay for very long. Virtue comes off looking like a relic of a quaint, narrow-minded, uptight age. Virtue...

More than any other public figure, VOclav Havel has reflected on the opportunities and dilemmas facing humankind as a result of the collapse of Communism.
