Horrible Prettiness: Burlesque and American Culture
ISBN: 9780807843161 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Robert Allen's compelling book examines burlesque not only as popular entertainment but also as a complex and transforming cultural phenomenon. When Lydia Thompson and her controversial female troupe of "British Blondes" brought modern burlesque to the United States in 1868, the result was electric. Their impertinent humor, streetwise manner, and provocative parodies of masculinity brought them enormous popular success--and the condemnation of critics, cultural commentators, and even women's rights campaigners.
Burlesque was a cultural threat, Allen argues, because it inverted the... Robert Allen's compelling book examines burlesque not only as popular entertainment but also as a complex and transforming cultural phenomenon. When L...

Captain Gardiner of the International Police
ISBN: 9781544076416 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) It was on one of the hottest nights of that unusually hot September that Mrs. Thornton gave a dance. The moist, lifeless air enveloped the earth like a heavy cloak and even the carefully shaded lights failed to conceal the lines of heat-weariness in the jaded faces of the guests. To Evelyn Thornton, in whose honour the affair was ostensibly held, the feverish rooms presently became unbearable, and abandoning the arduous duties of hostess to her mother and her younger and more energetic sister Mabel, she took refuge in the darkness of the small easterly veranda overlooking the beach.

Farm to Factory: A Reinterpretation of the Soviet Industrial Revolution
ISBN: 9780691144313 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. To say that history's greatest economic experiment--Soviet communism--was also its greatest economic failure is to say what many consider obvious. Here, in a startling reinterpretation, Robert Allen argues that the USSR was one of the most successful developing economies of the twentieth century. He reaches this provocative conclusion by recalculating national consumption and using economic, demographic, and computer simulation models to address the "what if" questions central to Soviet history. Moreover, by comparing Soviet performance not only with advanced but with less developed...
