We Can Take It!
ISBN: 9781138151666 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. `We Can Take It!' shows that the British remember the war in a peculiar way, thanks to a mix of particular images and evidence. Our memory has been shaped by material which is completely removed from historical reality. These images (including complete inventions) have combined to make a new history. The vision is mostly cosy and suits the way in which the Britons conceive of themselves: dogged, good humoured, occasionally bumbling, unified and enjoying diversity. In fact Britons load their memory towards the early part of the war (Dunkirk, Blitz, Battle of Britain) rather than when we... `We Can Take It!' shows that the British remember the war in a peculiar way, thanks to a mix of particular images and evidence.

Deadly Closets: The Fiction of Charles Jackson
ISBN: 9780761819127 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Charles Jackson (1903-1968) is best known for his novel, The Lost Weekend. Published less than a decade after the founding of AA, the novel's intense psychological portrait of an alcoholic captivated both the public and critics. But Jackson's success was short-lived.

In 1946 he published The Fall of Valor, a novel about a married professor's homosexual attachment to a young Marine captain. The critics who applauded his frank approach to alcoholism were disturbed that he would write about a subject many deemed...
