ISBN: 9780786423439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Erskine Caldwell has been compared to literary giants like Faulkner and Hemingway, yet he has also been reviled as peddler of pop trash. Was he a genius, or just a shooting star whose brilliance faded long before he stopped writing? Caldwell began his career in the late 1920s and gained fame for revealing the gritty backwoods South in novels such as his seminal Tobacco Road. He wrote prolifically, sometimes as much as a book a year. As the editor of this book maintains, perhaps anyone who wrote so much would inevitably stumble. These 12 essays explore a variety of issues. They discuss...

ISBN: 9780813938967 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Of all the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson stood out as the most controversial and confounding. Loved and hated, revered and reviled, during his lifetime he served as a lightning rod for dispute. Few major figures in American history provoked such a polarization of public opinion. One supporter described him as the possessor of -an enlightened mind and superior wisdom; the adorer of our God; the patriot of his country; and the friend and benefactor of the whole human race.- Martha Washington, however, considered Jefferson -one of the most detestable of mankind---and she was not...

Light and Liberty: Thomas Jefferson and the Power of Knowledge
ISBN: 9780813932361 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although Thomas Jefferson's status as a champion of education is widely known, the essays in Light and Liberty make clear that his efforts to enlighten fellow citizens reflected not only a love of learning but also a love of freedom. Using as a starting point Jefferson's conviction that knowledge is the basis of republican self-government, the contributors examine his educational projects not as disparate attempts to advance knowledge for its own sake but instead as a result of his unyielding, almost obsessive desire to bolster Americans' republican virtues and values. Whether... Although Thomas Jefferson's status as a champion of education is widely known, the essays in Light and Liberty make clear that his efforts t... |
