But then, one night, he falls asleep and awakes . . . to the beginning of a nightmare he just can't seem to wake up from. . . . Ishmael, the book I'm best known for, was the product of a twelve-year struggle. The book right here, Dreamer, was written during the ninth year of that struggle -- more or less to prove to myself that I really WAS a writer. Dreamer's not Ishmael, of course (nothing will ever...

The Teachings: That Came Before and After Ishmael
ISBN: 9781502356154 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. My novel Ishmael was a slow starter. In its early years it had only a few thousand readers. But those thousands told tens of thousands, the tens of thousands told hundreds of thousands, and the hundreds of thousands told millions. Ishmael was just the first course, however. The rest of the meal was still to come -- in Providence, The Story of B, My Ishmael, and Beyond Civilization. But, though I didn't stop with Ishmael, most of my readers did. Very few of them went on to sample any of the later courses. That's why I decided to put this book together. It's a collection of appetizers, generous...

Less than twenty years after asserting global dominance in the Seven Years' War, Britain suffered a devastating defeat when it lost the American colonies. Daniel O'Quinn explores how the theaters and the newspapers worked in concert to mediate the events of the American war for British audiences and how these convergent media attempted to articulate a post-American future for British imperial society. Building on the methodological innovations of his 2005 publication Staging Governance: Theatrical Imperialism in London, 1770-1800, O'Quinn demonstrates how the reconstitution of...

Staging Governance: Theatrical Imperialism in London, 1770-1800
ISBN: 9780801879616 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Between 1770 and 1800, transformations in the relationship between metropolitan British society and its colonial holdings, and in the concept of the nation itself, left Britons with a new sense of themselves. Over the same period, the consolidation of the middle classes was accompanied by growing social constraints on sexuality and family life. Staging Governance locates the intersection of these two trends in the representation of British India on the London stage. Theatrical productions, especially those representing colonial life, pushed the limits of public discourse on...
