ISBN: 9780271037837 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The current cultural climate in France is often described as one of "declinisme" or "sinistrose," a mixture of pessimism about the national future, nostalgia for the past, and a sinister sense of irreversible decline concerning the present. The notion of "democratic melancholia" has become widely popular, cropping up time and again in academic papers and newspaper articles. In Melancholy Politics, Jean-Philippe Mathy examines the development of this disenchanted mood in the works of prominent French philosophers, historians, and sociologists since the beginning of the 1980s.

French Resistance: The French-American Culture Wars
ISBN: 9780816634422 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Vive la difference? Almost as soon as Foucault, Derrida, and Lacan began to captivate American academics, naysayers began to bemoan the effects of French theory on American thought. French critics, on the other hand, have made short shrift of what passes for intellectual life in America. French Resistance gets to the heart -- and the history -- of these vexed French-American relations. Consistently illuminating and often polemical, the book focuses on recent transatlantic debates over critical theory, national identity, and multiculturalism.
Starting from well-publicized controversies such... Vive la difference? Almost as soon as Foucault, Derrida, and Lacan began to captivate American academics, naysayers began to bemoan the effects of Fre...

750 French Verbs and Their Uses
ISBN: 9780471545897 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Essential grammar taught simply and directly. 750 French Verbs and Their Uses gives you the backbone of language study -- correct verb usage -- by showing verb conjugations in their contexts. To understand the value of such an approach, consider the English verb "to hold," the meaning of which can change dramatically when used in expressions such as "hold on," "hold up," "hold off," and "hold down"; in French, as students of the language have perennially learned to their frustration, the changes are far broader and apply to many more verbs. Now you won't have to guess how a verb is used in a...
