Words of Others: From Quotations to Culture
ISBN: 9780300167474 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this lively gambol through the history of quotations and quotation books, Gary Saul Morson traces our enduring fascination with the words of others. Ranging from the remote past to the present, he explores the formation, development, and significance of quotations, while exploring the "verbal museums" in which they have been collected and displayed--commonplace books, treasuries, and anthologies. In his trademark clear, witty, and provocative style, Morson invites readers to share his delight in the shortest literary genre. The author defines what makes a quote quotable, as well...

ISBN: 9780691176680 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A provocative and inspiring case for a more humanistic economics Economists often act as if their methods explain all human behavior. But in Cents and Sensibility, an eminent literary critic and a leading economist make the case that the humanities, especially the study of literature, offer economists ways to make their models more realistic, their predictions more accurate, and their policies more effective and just. Gary Saul Morson and Morton Schapiro trace the connection between Adam Smith's great classic, The Wealth of Nations, and his less celebrated...

Mikhail Bakhtin: Creation of a Prosaics
ISBN: 9780804718226 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Books about thinkers require a kind of unity that their thought may not possess. This cautionary statement is especially applicable to Mikhail Bakhtin, whose intellectual development displays a diversity of insights that cannot be easily integrated or accurately described in terms of a single overriding concern. Indeed, in a career spanning some sixty years, he experienced both dramatic and gradual changes in his thinking, returned to abandoned insights that he then developed in unexpected ways, and worked through new ideas only loosely related to his earlier concerns Small wonder, then, that...

Prosaics and Other Provocations: Empathy, Open Time, and the Novel
ISBN: 9781618111616 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This far-ranging study develops Morson's concept of "prosaics," which stresses the importance of ordinary events and the novel's unique ability to portray them. Arguing that time is open and contingency real, Morson develops a "prosaics of process" showing how some masterpieces have found an alternative to structure. His well-known pseudonym Alicia Chudo, the inventor of "misanthropology," explores the disturbing philosophical content of laughter, disgust, and even empathy. Northwestern University's most popular professor, Morson attributes declining student interest in literature to current...

Hidden in Plain View: Narrative and Creative Potentials in Awar and Peacea
ISBN: 9780804717182 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For decades, the formal peculiarities of War and Peace disturbed Russian and Western critics, who attributed both the anomalous structure and the literary power of the book to Tolstoy's "primitive," unruly genius. Using that critical history as a starting point, this volume recaptures the overwhelming sense of strangeness felt by the work's first readers and thereby illuminates Tolstoy's theoretical and narratological concerns. The author demonstrates that the formal peculiarities of War and Peace were deliberate, designed to elude what Tolstoy regarded as the falsifying...

Anna Karenina
ISBN: 9780300216820 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 792 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Publication of this exacting new translation of Tolstoy's great Anna signifies a literary event of the first magnitude
Tolstoy produced many drafts of Anna Karenina. Crafting and recrafting each sentence with careful intent, he was anything but casual in his use of language. His project, translator Marian Schwartz observes, "was to bend language to his will, as an instrument of his aesthetic and moral convictions." In her magnificent new translation, Schwartz embraces Tolstoy's unusual style--she is the first English language translator ever to do so. Previous...

The essential entries from Dostoevsky's complete "Diary," called his boldest experiment in literary form, are now available in this abridged edition; it is a uniquely encyclopedic forum of fictional and nonfictional genres. "A Writer's Diary" began as a column in a literary journal, but by 1876 Dostoevsky was able to bring it out as a complete monthly publication with himself as an editor, publisher, and sole contributor, suspending work on "The Brothers Karamazov" to do so.The "Diary"'s radical format was matched by the extreme range of its contents. In a single frame it incorporated an...
