Goodbye to All That: Introduction by Miranda Seymour
ISBN: 9781101907986 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On the hundredth anniversary of the end of World War I: a hardcover edition of one of the best and most famous memoirs of the conflict. Good-bye to All That was published a decade after the end of the first World War, as the poet and novelist Robert Graves was preparing to leave England for good. The memoir documents not only his own personal experience, as a patriotic young officer, of the horrors and disillusionment of battle, but also the wider loss of innocence the Great War brought about. By the time of his writing, a way of life had ended, and England and the modern...

Biała Bogini
ISBN: 9788362858279 / Polski / Miękka / 2011 / 598 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Robert Graves (1895-1985) był poetą z przekonania, powieściopisarzem dla zarobku i badaczem tradycji z namiętności. "Biała Bogini" (1948, wydanie rozszerzone: 1961) powstała między dwoma najbardziej znanymi u nas dziełami tego angielskiego twórcy: powieścią "Ja, Klaudiusz" (1934) i "Mitami greckimi"(1955). Graves wysuwa kontrowersyjne hipotezy, które nadają jego dziełu wprost sensacyjny charakter. Czytelnik wraz z autorem tropi ślady domniemanej tytułowej bogini w obrzędach i mitach starożytnej Irlandii i Brytanii. Te kruchy tradycji zawierają, zdaniem Gravesa, przekaz o...

King Jesus
ISBN: 9780141197654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Robert Graves's controversial historical novel is a bold reworking of the story of Christ. Here Jesus is not the son of God, but the result of a secret marriage - the descendant of Herod and true King of the Jews. Written from the perspective of a lowly official at the end of the first century AD, King Jesus recounts Jesus's birth, youth, life as a charismatic 'wonder worker' and the unorthodox, bitter nature of his death and resurrection. Portraying Jesus not as divine but as a flawed human bent upon his own doom, this retelling of the gospels is a compelling blend of research, imagination...

Goodbye to All That
ISBN: 9780141184593 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. An autobiographical work that describes firsthand the great tectonic shifts in English society following the First World War, Robert Graves's Goodbye to All That is a matchless evocation of the Great War's haunting legacy, published in Penguin Modern Classics. In 1929 Robert Graves went to live abroad permanently, vowing 'never to make England my home again'. This is his superb account of his life up until that 'bitter leave-taking': from his childhood and desperately unhappy school days at Charterhouse, to his time serving as a young officer in the First World War that was to haunt him...

The Siege And Fall Of Troy
ISBN: 9781609807429 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The ancient city of Troy really existed. The Trojan War that figures in Homer's two great epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, really happened. But there is much more to it. Leave it to one of the English language's greatest practitioners, Robert Graves, to flesh out the story in a very short book for children, first published in 1962, and out of print for more than three decades. According to Graves, "English literature, to be properly understood, calls for as close a knowledge of the Trojan War as of the Bible: Helen's beauty, Odysseus's cunning, Hector's noble courage,...

Homer's Daughter
ISBN: 9781609807733 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Homer's Daughter is Robert Graves' novel of the girl, Nausicaa, a character in the Odyssey, who Graves believed was a its true author (not the blind and bearded Homer, whose Iliad was composed at least 150 years before.... ). That Homer did not write the Odyssey continues to be a bold historical and literary claim. Add to it Graves's protofeminist heroine, and a radical modern classic is born. In his Historical Note, Graves says the novel "re-creates, from internal and external evidence, the circumstances which induced Nausicaa to write the Odyssey, and suggest how,...

Sergeant Lamb of the Ninth
ISBN: 9780141197685 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Robert Graves first came across the name of Roger Lamb in 1914, when Graves was an English officer instructing his platoon in regimental history. Lamb was a British soldier who had served his king during the American War of Independence, and whose claim to a footnote in history is that he managed to escape twice from American prison camps. When Graves went to America in the 1930s, he remembered Sergeant Lamb, investigated his story and created this fictionalized memoir telling Lamb's story from his Irish childhood to war and revolution, weaving a mesmerizing tale of courage and adventure.

Tytułowy bohater miał już 51 lat, gdy po zamordowaniu Kaliguli w 41 roku n.e. niespodziewanie został wyniesiony do godności cesarza Rzymu. Ułomności fizyczne - to, że się jąkał, utykał na nogę, ślinił i miał tiki nerwowe - sprawiły, iż przetrwał liczne spiski i morderstwa, które przerzedziły ród cesarski. Jego żoną była Messalina, kobieta obdarzona nienasyconym temperamentem seksualnym i skłonnością do intryg. Klaudiusz długo tolerował jej wybryki, ale nadszedł czas, gdy musiał...
