Different Speeds, Same Furies: Powell, Proust and Other Literary Forms
ISBN: 9781804290798 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. There are few writers about whom opinions diverge so widely as Anthony Powell, whose Dance to the Music of Time sequence is one of the most ambitious literary constructions in the English language. In Different Speeds, Same Furies, Perry Anderson measures Powell's achievement against Marcel Proust's celebrated In Search of Lost Time. The literature on Dance is a drop in the ocean compared to that on Proust. Yet in construction of plot and depiction of character, Anderson ranks Powell above him. How much do particular advantages of this kind matter, and why is Powell an odd man out in...

Arguments Within English Marxism
ISBN: 9780860917274 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The characteristic form taken by English Marxism since the war has been the study of history. No writer exemplifies its achievements better than Edward Thompson, whose Making of the English Working Class is probably the most influential single work of historical scholarship by a socialist today. An editor of The New Reasoner in 1957-59, a founder of the New Left in 1960, now an eloquent champion of civil rights, Thompson has most recently aroused widespread interest with the appearance of his Poverty of Theory, which combines philosophical and political polemic with Louis...

Organized as a series of tightly linked, comparative assessments, Mapping the West European Left provides a guide to the state of the left in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Spain. While all the essays are detailed historical compositions--setting recent crises and dilemmas in a longer perspective reaching back into the postwar settlement--they articulate original insights into the contemporary political conjuncture.

Die Entstehung des absolutistischen Staates
ISBN: 9783518109502 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 1984 / 561 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Der im Gefolge der langen ökonomischen Krise des Feudalismus (14. Bis 15. Jahrhundert) einsetzende qualitative Wandel der Gesellschaften Europas war gekennzeichnet vom Streben nach einer konsequenzenreichen Umstrukturierung politischer Herrschaft, die dann im Rahmen einheitlicher Nationalstaaten und gestützt auf die Effektivität und Autorität zentral gelenkter Institutionen durchgesetzt wurde.

American Foreign Policy and Its Thinkers
ISBN: 9781786630483 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Magisterial account of the ideas and the figures who have forged the American Empire Since the birth of the nation, impulses of empire have been close to the heart of the United States. How these urges interact with the way the country understands itself, and the nature of the divergent interests at work in the unfolding of American foreign policy, is a subject much debated and still obscure. In a fresh look at the topic, Anderson charts the intertwined historical development of America's imperial reach and its role as the general guarantor of capital. The internal tensions...

The Indian Ideology
ISBN: 9781781682593 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Today, the Indian state claims to embody the values of a stable political democracy, a harmonious territorial unity, and a steadfast religious impartiality. Even many of those critical of the inequalities of Indian society underwrite such claims.
The Indian Ideology suggests that the roots of the current ills of the Republic go much deeper, historically. They lie, in the way the struggle for independence culminated in the transfer of power from British rule to Congress in a divided subcontinent, not least in the roles played by Gandhi as the great architect of the movement, and...

In the Tracks of Historical Materialism
ISBN: 9780860917762 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What have been the major changes in the intellectual landscape of the left since the mid seventies? Have they on balance represented an emancipation or a retreat for socialist culture as a whole? In the Tracks of Historical Materialism looks at some of the paradoxes in the evolution of Marxist thought in this period. It starts by considering the remarkable and variegated growth of historical materialism in the Anglo-American world, spreading across a broad field from history to economics, politics to literature, sociology to philosophy. By contrast, the same years have seen a drastic...

A set of reflections on British society and culture, this volume falls into two principal parts. The first consists of a pair of essays published in new Left Review in the 1960s.

Lineages of the Absolutist State
ISBN: 9781781680100 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 573 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Forty years after its original publication, Lineages of the Absolutist State remains an exemplary achievement in comparative history. Picking up from where its companion volume, Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism, left off, Lineages traces the development of Absolutist states in the early modern period from their roots in European feudalism, and assesses their various trajectories. Why didn't Italy develop into an Absolutist state in the same, indigenous way as the other dominant Western countries, namely Spain, France and England? On the other hand, how did Eastern...
