Brendan Doyle, odborník na dílo básníka raného devatenáctého století Williama Ashblesse, neochotně přijme pozvání od výstředního milionáře, aby skupině cestovatelů v čase posloužil jako odborný průvodce. Ovšem poté, co se v roce 1810 zúčastní vytoužené přednášky Samuela Taylora Coleridge, je unesen do špinavých uliček Londýna, kde temné a nebezpečné síly dobře znají tajemství bran v čase.

The poets of the Northern Song dynasty (960-1126) were writing after what was then and still is acknowledged to be the Golden Age of Chinese poetry, the Tang dynasty (618-907).

ISBN: 9780804734448 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 516 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book argues that the invention of Asian American identities serves as an index to the historical formation of modern America. By tracing constructions of -Asian American- to an interpenetrating dynamic between Asia and America, the author obtains a deeper understanding of key issues in American culture, history, and society. The formation of America in the twentieth century has had everything to do with -westward expansion- across the -Pacific frontier- and the movement of Asians onto American soil.

"The Deliverance of Others" is a compelling reappraisal of the idea that narrative literature can expand readers' empathy. What happens if, amid the voluminous influx of otherness facilitated by globalization, we continue the tradition of valorizing literature for bringing the lives of others to us, admitting them into our world and valuing the difference that they introduce into our lives? In this new historical situation, are we not forced to determine how much otherness is acceptable, as opposed to how much is excessive, disruptive, and disturbing?
The influential literary critic David... "The Deliverance of Others" is a compelling reappraisal of the idea that narrative literature can expand readers' empathy. What happens if, amid the v...
