Night Song of the Last Tram - A Glasgow Childhood
ISBN: 9780340838617 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) A wonderfully colourful and deeply poignant memoir of growing up in a 'single end' - one room in a Glasgow tenement - during and immediately after the Second World War. Although young Robert Douglas's life was blighted by the cruel if sporadic presence of his father, it was equally blessed by the love of his mother, Janet. While the story of their life together is in some ways very sad, it is also filled with humorous and happy memories. NIGHT SONG OF THE LAST TRAM is a superb evocation of childhood and of a Glasgow of trams and tenements that has long since disappeared.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) We left Robert a long way from home, a sixteen-year-old recruit in the RAF. Now, we follow his escape from the Forces (until National Service a few years later ), his return to Glasgow and life down the pit. Once more, Robert's fantastic memory for people, places and anecdotes, combined with an ear for individual voices and the brilliant ability to evoke a bygone sense of community, will enchant his readers and sometimes appal them with the brutality of conditions he experienced.

Tennyson Among the Poets: Bicentenary Essays
ISBN: 9780199557134 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Published to mark the bicentenary of Alfred Tennyson's birth, these essays offer an important revaluation of his achievement and its lasting importance. After several years in which the temper of criticism has been largely political (and often hostile towards Tennyson in particular) a number of influential recent accounts of Victorian poetry have rediscovered the virtues of a closer style of reading and the benefits and pleasures of an approach that, without at all ignoring social and cultural contexts, approaches them through a primary alertness to textual detail and literary history. This...

Becoming Dickens: The Invention of a Novelist
ISBN: 9780674072237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 389 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Becoming Dickens tells the story of how an ambitious young Londoner became England's greatest novelist. In following the twists and turns of Charles Dickens's early career, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst examines a remarkable double transformation: in reinventing himself Dickens reinvented the form of the novel. It was a high-stakes gamble, and Dickens never forgot how differently things could have turned out. Like the hero of Dombey and Son, he remained haunted by "what might have been, and what was not." In his own lifetime, Dickens was without rivals. He styled himself... Becoming Dickens tells the story of how an ambitious young Londoner became England's greatest novelist.

Victorian Afterlives: The Shaping of Influence in Nineteenth-Century Literature
ISBN: 9780198187271 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Questions of survival were much discussed during the nineteenth century, ranging from debates over the likelihood of a personal immortality, to anxieties over the more dispersed and unpredictable aftermath of particular acts and utterances. Victorian Afterlives sets out to recover this atmosphere, and to explain why its pressures are still being exercised on and in our own ways of thinking. Moving freely between different fields of inquiry (including literary criticism, philosophy, and the history of science), and written in a lively and accessible style, this major new study redraws the map...

Lewis Carroll w Krainie Czarów Prawdziwa biografia
ISBN: 9788383911427 / Polski / twarda / 2026 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) To jedna z najlepszych książek, jakie kiedykolwiek napisano o autorze Alicji w Krainie Czarów. Robert Douglas-Fairhurst opowiada o zawiłych losach Lewisa Carrolla i Alice Liddell (później Alice Hargreaves) aż do jej śmierci w 1934 roku oraz - do dziś budzącym wiele kontrowersji - związku pisarza z kilkuletnią wówczas dziewczynką.Jednak znacznie łatwiej potępić Carrolla, niż stwierdzić z całkowitym przekonaniem, jak powinien brzmieć zarzut, historia tych dwojga jest bowiem równie zagmatwana i tajemnicza, jak świat Alicji w Krainie Czarów i Po drugiej stronie lustra. Nie...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) This is an utterly charming story about twelve families and their tightly knit street in 1950s Maryhill. Following the end of the war, the close rebuilds its ties and the strong sense of community and friendly neighbourhood bonds are soon back in place. There is young love for Rhea and Robert; a surprising new start for James; a change of direction for George; and all overseen by the matriarch of the street - Granny Thomson. And of course, all buoyed up by a big helping of Scottish humour and strength of spirit. Yet it is all not perfect in their world: the families have to deal with poverty,...
