Awakened by Surprise
ISBN: 9781942956174 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While Bonazzi's poetry has been characterized by critic Paul Christensen as taking "poetry to its limits of subtlety, where sense nearly but does not quite give out into silence and awe," these fictional takes are entirely opposite. They ripple with sarcasm, satire, puns, and plays on cliches, pondering headlong into the paradoxical realities of society, philosophy and art, illuminated by his heroes-Kierkegaard, Kafka, Beckett, seditious commas, and a pianist who plays only the first nine notes of Fur Elise (but to perfection).

Commentary and Tradition: Aristotelianism, Platonism, and Post-Hellenistic Philosophy
ISBN: 9783110218725 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 466 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

On the assumption that debates among schools play a major role in the philosophy of the commentators, Donini...
