Flann O'Brien: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Post-Modernist
ISBN: 9781859184875 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman, completed in 1940, was initially rejected by his publishers for being -too fantastic-, and only appeared posthumously in 1967. Since then O'Brien has achieved cult status, although critical appraisal of his work has focused almost exclusively on his first novel, At Swim Two Birds (1939).
This groundbreaking study, first published in 1995 and now substantially revised, reconfigures O'Brien as a highly subversive writer within a rich and fertile literary landscape: indisputably Irish yet distinctly post-modern. It identifies... Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman, completed in 1940, was initially rejected by his publishers for being -too fantastic-, and only appeared p...

The Collected Plays
ISBN: 9781564789303 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Although Dermot Healy (1947-2014) is probably best known as an award-winning novelist and poet, he was also a prolific playwright, screenwriter, and actor. Healy s interest in drama was long-standing, and was central to his development as a writer. Between 1985 and 2010 he wrote thirteen stage plays, including a critically-acclaimed adaptation of Garcia Lorca s Blood Wedding in 1989. All of these plays are published here for the first time. One of the most striking features of Healy s dramatic works is their spirit of community collaboration and their strong social conscience. His first...

* Liberally illustrated throughout with stills from the film under discussion * Collaboration between Cork University Press and the Film Institute of Ireland. -The Butcher Boy- is perhaps the finest film to have come out of Ireland. Although it breaks clearly with the banal canons of realism, it is nonetheless the most realistic of Irish films. It engages with the society and culture of modern Ireland with a wit and ferocity that denies the viewer any easy moral position. Cinema... * Lucid and accessible style makes the series appealing to the general reader

The Quiet Man
ISBN: 9781859182871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) John Ford's -The Quiet Man- (1952) is the most popular cinematic representation of Ireland, and one of Hollywood's classic romantic comedies. For some viewers and critics the film is a powerful evocation of romantic Ireland and the search for home; for others, it is a showcase for the worst stereotypes of stage-Irishry. Much of Irish cinema since the development of an indigenous film industry in the 1980s has set its face firmly against these mythic images of Ireland, but no film has yet attained the enduring appeal of -The Quiet Man-. In this radical reappraisal of Ford's Oscar-winning film,...
