A Darkening Green: Notes on Harvard, the 1950s, and the End of Innocence
ISBN: 9781412810098 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a book about the end of childhood. Much of it is drawn directly from a diary the author kept while he was a bright but insecure freshman at Harvard in the 1950s. From these pages emerges a precise description of the raw, half-understood experience of late adolescence-the anguish and arguments, the rivalry and anxiety about sex, the facile cynicism and desperate fumblings for purpose, the bull sessions held late at night-just as Peter Prescott recorded them only hours after the event.

Encounters with American Culture: Volume 2, 1973-1985
ISBN: 9781412805896 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Peter S.

Never content merely to summarize or to pronounce quick judgments, Prescott's reviews are witty and delightful essays to be enjoyed for their own sake as examples of civilized discourse. Whether he is exploring a well-known novelist's outlook and methods, or the peculiar deficiencies of a work of nonfiction, Prescott's grace, elegance, and insights make each piece proof that real criticism need not be pedantic, obscure, or interminably long
