ISBN: 9781904744672 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What made a young Sardinian woman in the nineteenth century think that she could become a famous writer, especially considering the time and her position, her gender and lack of education? Yet Grazia Deledda achieved such status in the literary world that publishers in Italy vied for her fiction. Nearly seventy years after her death, her novels continue to be reprinted and translated, and critical appreciation of her work continues to grow. This - the first full length biography of Deledda in English for an adult audience - is the story of a woman who overcame obstacles that would discourage...

Her Husband
ISBN: 9780822326007 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. One of the twentieth century's greatest literary artists and winner of the Nobel prize in 1934, Luigi Pirandello wrote the novel "Her Husband" in 1911, before he produced any of the well-known plays with which his name is most often associated today. "Her Husband"--translated here for the first time into English--is a profoundly entertaining work, by turns funny, bitingly satirical, and tinged with anguish. As important as any of the other works in Pirandello's oeuvre, it portrays the complexities of male/female relations in the context of a newly emerging, small but vocal Italian feminist...

Cosima
ISBN: 9780934977067 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Cosima" tells the story of an aspiring writer growing up in Nuoro, Sardinia during the last decades of the nineteenth century when formal education for women was rare and literary careers unheard-of. Based on Deleddas own life, the work describes a young womans struggle against the dismay and disapproval of her family and friends at her creative ambitions. Yet it also reads like a charming fable with details of family life, rural traditions and wild bandits, and it is as much a novel of memory as of character or action.
Deleddas characters are poor country folk driven by some predetermined... "Cosima" tells the story of an aspiring writer growing up in Nuoro, Sardinia during the last decades of the nineteenth century when formal education f...
