ISBN: 9780192807083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cities, at their best, are cradles of diversity, opportunity, and citizenship. Why, then, do so many cities today seem scarred by divisions separating the powerful and privileged from the victims of deprivation and injustice? What is it like to live on the wrong side of the divide in Paris, London, New York, Sao Paolo, and other cities all over the world?

Montaigne and the Art of Free-Thinking
ISBN: 9781906165208 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Why read Montaigne today? Richard Scholar argues that Montaigne, whose essays were read by Shakespeare and remain a landmark of European culture, is above all a masterful exponent of the art of free-thinking. Montaigne invites his readers to follow the twists and turns of his mind, and challenges them to embark on an inner adventure of their own. Free-thinking is an art every bit as difficult to practice today as it was in sixteenth-century France, but it remains equally crucial to a fulfilled life and to a healthy body politic, and Montaigne offers his readers a master-class in that art.

The Je-Ne-Sais-Quoi in Early Modern Europe: Encounters with a Certain Something
ISBN: 9780199274406 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is the je-ne-sais-quoi, if it is indeed something at all, and how can it be put into words? In addressing these questions, Richard Scholar offers the first full-length study of the je-ne-sais-quoi and its fortunes in early modern Europe. He examines the expression's rise and fall as a noun and as a topic of philosophical and literary debate, its cluster of meanings, and the scattered traces of its "pre-history." Placing major writers of the period such as Montaigne, Shakespeare, Descartes, Corneille, and Pascal alongside some of their lesser-known contemporaries, Scholar argues that the...

Montaigne and the Art of Free-Thinking
ISBN: 9781906165215 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. We know a great deal of what Michel de Montaigne (1533-92), Shakespeare s near-contemporary and fellow literary mastermind, thinks. We know, because he tells us on page after page of his Essais, which have marked literature and thought since the European Renaissance and remain to this day compelling reading. It might seem surprising, with this wealth of evidence at hand, that Montaigne could prove so elusive in his thinking. Yet elusive he proves, as volatile as he is voluble. What, we are left wondering, does all that thinking amount to? How is it to be understood? And what value...

Caribbean Globalizations, 1492 to the Present Day
ISBN: 9781781381519 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Caribbean Globalizations explores the relations between globalization and the Caribbean since 1492, when Columbus first arrived in the region, to the present day. It aims to help change prevalent ways of thinking, not only about the Caribbean archipelago as a complex field of historical enquiry and cultural production, but also about the nature of globalization. It argues that the region has long been - and remains - a theatre of conflict between, as well as a site of emergence for, different forms of globalization. It thereby offers the opportunity to focus research and debate across the...

ISBN: 9781409408659 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The uses of fiction in early modern Europe are far more varied than is often assumed by those who consider fiction to be synonymous with the novel. The contributors to this volume demonstrate the significant role that fiction plays in early modern European culture, not only in a variety of its literary genres, but also in its formation of philosophical ideas, political theories, and the law. The volume explores these uses of fiction in a series of interrelated case studies, ranging from the Italian Renaissance to the French Revolution and examining the work of, among others, Montaigne,...
