Reform Before the Reformation: Vincenzo Querini and the Religious Renaissance in Italy
ISBN: 9789004123793 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. An important aspect of the Italian Renaissance was church reform. This book examines the nature of that reform - especially in Venice, Florence and Rome - as viewed through the unpublished manuscripts of a Venetian nobleman who became a Camaldolese hermit: Vincenzo Querini (1478-1514). This book sets Querini's personal journey to reform in the context of Venetian society, as well as against the backdrop of political crisis, cultural revival, and monastic renaissance in Italy generally. Querini's attempt to reform himself, the Roman Catholic Church, and the whole of Christendom are of interest...

The Possibility of an Island
ISBN: 9780307275219 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A worldwide phenomenon and the most important French novelist since Camus, Michel Houellebecq now delivers his magnum opus-a tale of our present circumstances told from the future, when humanity as we know it has vanished.
Surprisingly poignant, philosophically compelling, and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, The Possibility of an Island is at once an indictment, an elegy, and a celebration of everything we have and are at risk of losing. It is a masterpiece from one of the world's most innovative writers. A worldwide phenomenon and the most important French novelist since Camus, Michel Houellebecq now delivers his magnum opus-a tale of our present circu...

Venice's Most Loyal City: Civic Identity in Renaissance Brescia
ISBN: 9780674051201 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By the second decade of the fifteenth century Venice had established an empire in Italy extending from its lagoon base to the lakes, mountains, and valleys of the northwestern part of the peninsula. The wealthiest and most populous part of this empire was the city of Brescia which, together with its surrounding territory, lay in a key frontier zone between the politically powerful Milanese and the economically important Germans. Venetian governance there involved political compromise and some sensitivity to local concerns, and Brescians forged their distinctive civic identity alongside a...

Impure and Worldly Geography: Pierre Gourou and Tropicality
ISBN: 9781409439493 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. By re-examining French geographer Pierre Gourou's work, this book highlights the significant (yet only partially understood) role he played in shaping how the tropical world was viewed during the 20th century. It does so by connecting Gourou to the idea of 'tropicality' - a discourse which constructs 'the tropics' as the West's environmental Other (in both positive and negative terms - as exotic, Edenic and bounteous, but also as backward, debilitating and pestilential). While Gourou had a towering influence over French geography, this is the first book-length study of him, as well as being...

Renaissance? Perceptions of Continuity and Discontinuity in Europe, c.1300- c.1550
ISBN: 9789004183346 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At least since the publication of Burckhardt's seminal study, the Renaissance has commonly been understood in terms of discontinuities. Seen as a radical departure from the intellectual and cultural norms of the 'Middle Ages', it has often been associated with the revival of classical Antiquity and the transformation of the arts, and has been viewed primarily as an Italian phenomenon. In keeping with recent revisionist trends, however, the essays in this volume explore moments of profound intellectual, artistic, and geographical continuity which challenge preconceptions of the Renaissance....
