The Austrian playwright, novelist, and poet Thomas Bernhard (1931-89) is acknowledged as among the major writers of our times.

A series of parable-like anecdotes some drawn from newspaper reports, some from conversation, some from hearsay this satire is both subtle and acerbic. What initially appear to be...

The Early History of the Ancient Near East, 9000-2000 B.C.
ISBN: 9780226586588 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Hans J. Nissen here provides a much-needed overview of 7000 years of development in the ancient Near East from the beginning of settled life to the formation of the first regional states.

But after the fall of the Berlin Wall, these writers were abandoned by their readers and stripped of the professional structures that had supported them. Their literary culture destroyed, they were rebuked for compliant service to the discredited state; and some were reviled for collaborating with the East German secret police, the Stasi.
What drove leading thinkers,... For two generations, writers in the German Democratic Republic enjoyed a massive audience in their own country, a readership dependent on their works ...
