ISBN: 9780674940987 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Can filmed history measure up to written history? What happens to history when it is recorded in images, rather than words? Can images convey ideas and information that lie beyond words?

In Revisioning History thirteen historians from around the world look at the historical film on its own terms, not as it compares to written history but as a unique way of recounting the past. How does film construct a historical world? What are the rules, codes, and strategies by which it brings the past to life? What does that historical construction mean to us?

Between 1936 and 1938, some 3,000 young Americans sailed to France and crossed the Pyrenees to take part in the brutal civil war raging in Spain. Virtually all joined the International Brigades, formed under the auspices of the Soviet-led Comintern and largely directed by Communists.

Mirror in the Shrine: American Encounters with Meiji Japan
ISBN: 9780674576421 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the last third of the nineteenth century, three Americans with diverse purposes sailed to Japan--the missionary William Elliot Griffis, the scientist Edward S. Morse, and the writer Lafcadio Hearn. They were to become part of the first generation of American experts on Japan, regularly quoted and widely read. More significantly, their own lives were vastly changed, broadened and enriched in unexpected ways, so that their thoughts dwelt as much on what Americans could learn from the pagan Japanese as on what Americans could teach them. In telling these stories, Robert Rosenstone... In the last third of the nineteenth century, three Americans with diverse purposes sailed to Japan--the missionary William Elliot Griffis, the scie... |

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The poems in this collection-with the exception of One Day, written for Nahid on our wedding day-poured into my consciousness during my mid-seventies when I was contemplating retirement.

The themes of the poems-laments for vanished times; critiques of my own life and the world, and the relation between the two, past and present; questions about what it is to be a historian in a culture that rushes so quickly to erase the past; celebrations of the unexpected love that has...
