Tilted Cup: The Cahier Series 22
ISBN: 9781909631021 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Paul Griffiths's The Tilted Cup effects a multilayered translation, taking a series of eleven Japanese Noh plays and turning them into stories in English.

The Sea on Fire: Jean Barraqué
ISBN: 9781580461412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Jean Barraque is increasingly being recognized as one of the great composers of the second half of the 20th century. Though he left only seven works, his voice in each of them is unmistakeable, and powerful. He had no doubt of his responsibility, as a creator, to take his listeners on challenging adventures that could not but leave them changed. After the collapse of morality he had witnessed as a child growing up during the Second World War, and having taken notice of so much disarray in the culture around him, he set himself to make music that would, out of chaos, speak. Three others were...

In this new work, Paul Griffiths surveys the attitudes and activities of young people, examining their reaction to authority and to society's concept of the ideal place' for them in the social order. He sheds new light on issues as diverse as juvenile delinquency, masculinity, sexual behavior and courtship, clothing, catechizing, office-holding, and church seating plans. His research reveals much about the nature of youth culture, religious commitment, and master/servant relations, and leads to the identification of a separate milieu of masterless' young people.

Decreation: The Last Things of All Creatures
ISBN: 9781481302302 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Death is not the end--either for humans or for all creatures. But while Christianity has obsessed over the future of humanity, it has neglected the ends for nonhuman animals, inanimate creatures, and angels. In Decreation, Paul J. Griffiths explores how orthodox Christian theology might be developed to include the last things of all creatures. Griffiths employs traditional and historical Christian theology of the last things to create both a grammar and a lexicon for a new eschatology. Griffiths imagines heaven as an endless, repetitively static, communal, and enfleshed... Death is not the end--either for humans or for all creatures.

Engaging, clear and informative, this is the story of western music - of its great composers and also of its performers and listeners, of changing ideas of what music is and what it is for.

Lying
ISBN: 9781608994915 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. ""This book is a fascinating journey--from Augustine's total ban on lying, through the compromises of philosophers like Plato and Aquinas, to the radical espousal of truth's impossibility in Nietzche. Griffiths takes us into the heart of Augustine's theology to show how the act of duplicity disfigures the image of God in us and exposes human sinfulness. From that perspective, all discussion of lying that is merely based on morality, justice, compassion, or humanism is shown to be inadequate, and truthfulness becomes a gift of God's grace."" -- Frances Young, University of Birmingham (England)...

Events such as the fire of London and the Plague, and locations like the Globe, are part of our 'national heritage' however until recently the history of London between 1500 and 1750 has been little studied.

An Apology for Apologetics
ISBN: 9781556357312 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Description: An Apology for Apologetics argues that a vigorous apologetics is a vital component of any sound effort at interreligious dialogue. Griffiths shows that a spirited defense of each religious tradition must be made by people who are both committed to their "truth" and open to serious criticisms by members of other faith traditions. He demonstrates why and how such a recognition of the necessity of interreligious apologetics (the "NOIA principle") runs counter to the underlying presuppositions of many proponents of interreligious dialogue. Griffiths raises the specter of an...

Igor Stravinsky, the Rake's Progress
ISBN: 9780521281997 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Rake's Progress is Stravinsky's biggest work and one of the few great operas written since the 1920s, rare too for the unusual quality of its libretto, by Auden and Kallman. Its importance is undisputed, but so too are the problems it raises: problems of both performance and understanding, caused by the irony with which it is so thoroughly permeated. In aspects of style and operatic convention it looks back to the eighteenth century, and in particular to the operas of Mozart and da Ponte, while making references also to other periods, to operas from Monteverdi to Verdi. Yet at the same...

Religious Reading: The Place of Reading in the Practice of Religion
ISBN: 9780195125771 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What social conditions and intellectual practices are necessary in order for religious cultures to flourish? Paul Griffiths finds the answer in "religious reading" --- the kind of reading in which a religious believer allows his mind to be furnished and his heart instructed by a sacred text, understood in the light of an authoritative tradition. He favorably contrasts the practices and pedagogies of traditional religious cultures with those of our own fragmented and secularized culture and insists that religious reading should be preserved.

Modern Music and After
ISBN: 9780199740505 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over three decades, Paul Griffiths's survey has remained the definitive study of music since the Second World War; this fully revised and updated edition re-establishes Modern Music and After as the preeminent introduction to the music of our time. The disruptions of the war, and the struggles of the ensuing peace, were reflected in the music of the time: in Pierre Boulez's radical reformation of compositional technique and in John Cage's development of zen music; in Milton Babbitt's settling of the serial system and in Dmitry Shostakovich's unsettling symphonies; in Karlheinz...
