Coming, Aphrodite!
ISBN: 9780141181561 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Best known for the distinctive portraits of the people and land of the American West in her prairie novels, Willa Cather is one of the greatest American writers of this century. The fourteen short stories in this richly diverse collection, along with an exemplary introduction by author Cynthia Griffin Wolff, allow for a more complex view of Cather. As a writer she was intrigued by nature's ruthlessness and mankind's limitless potential for brutality and had a passion for the beauty of art. Ranging from the simplicity of Cather's first published story, "Peter" (1892), to the extraordinary...

Countering the Culture: The Novels of Christiane Rochefort
ISBN: 9780859895859 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first full-length study in any language of the writings of a remarkable figure in French literary and cultural history, author of nine prose fiction works between 1958 and 1988.

Frances Burney: The Life in the Works
ISBN: 9780813513553 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Treating Frances Burney (1752-1840) with the seriousness usually reserved for later novelists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Margaret Anne Doody combines biographical narrative with informed literary criticism as she analyses not only Burney's published novels, but her plays, fragments of novels, poems, and other works never published.

Kant's Theory of Virtue: The Value of Autocracy
ISBN: 9781107491977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Anne Margaret Baxley offers a systematic interpretation of Kant's theory of virtue, whose most distinctive features have not been properly understood. She explores the rich moral psychology in Kant's later and less widely read works on ethics, and argues that the key to understanding his account of virtue is the concept of autocracy, a form of moral self-government in which reason rules over sensibility. Although certain aspects of Kant's theory bear comparison to more familiar Aristotelian claims about virtue, Baxley contends that its most important aspects combine to produce something...

ISBN: 9780754668695 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Beauty's Hour: A Phantasy
ISBN: 9781943910403 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "'Then something unforeseen happened: my reflected face grew blurred, and then faded out; and from the mist there grew a new face, of wonderful beauty; the face of my desire. It looked at me from the glass, and when I tried to speak, its lips moved too. Miss Whateley uttered a sound that was hardly a cry, and caught me by the shoulder. I got up then and faced her; she was white as death, and her eyes were almost vacant with terror.'"
Olivia Shakespear (1863-1938) is best known today as the mistress and longtime friend of the Irish poet William Butler Yeats, but she was also an important...

The True Story of the Novel
ISBN: 9780813524535 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 610 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Twentieth-century historians and critics defending the novel have emphasized its role as superseding something else, as a sort of legitimate usurper that deposed the Epic, a replacement of myth, or religious narrative. To say that the Age of Early Christianity was really also the Age of the Novel rumples such historical tidiness--but so it was. From the outset of her discussion, Doody rejects the conventional Anglo-Saxon distinction between Romance and Novel. This eighteenth-century distinction, she maintains, served both to keep the foreign--dark-skinned peoples, strange speakers,...
