Novel Practices: Classic Modern Fiction
ISBN: 9780765802088 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An important debate in modern literary criticism concerns the exact relationship between the ancient epic and the novel. Both the epic and the most ambitious modern novels are large-scale attempts to present a comprehensive view of the world through the experience of a representative hero.

ISBN: 9780521020183 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Naipaul: writers he believes share a particular sensitivity to literary and cultural ideologies that distort and diminish our understanding of the world. Goodheart's book is...
