The Work and the Gift
ISBN: 9780226752570 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The Work and the Gift" considers how working and giving are taken for opposites and revealed as each other's ghostly shadow. We ask ourselves, for instance, to work for a wage and a living, dooming ourselves forever to the curse of daily toil; and yet we imagine the magnum opus or the oeuvre as a labor of love. We ask ourselves to give with no thought of return; yet we still tell ourselves to give only to the deserving and only where our giving will do some good.
Ranging from Marx and Derrida to Friedrich Hayek and Alvin Toffler, Scott Cutler Shershow here explores the predictions of... "The Work and the Gift" considers how working and giving are taken for opposites and revealed as each other's ghostly shadow. We ask ourselves, for in...

The Love of Ruins: Letters on Lovecraft
ISBN: 9781438465111 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Today, H. P. Lovecraft is both more popular and controversial than ever: the influence of his "Cthulhu mythos" is everywhere in popular culture, his cosmic pessimism has reemerged as a major theme in contemporary philosophy, and his racism continues to spark controversy in the media. The Love of Ruins takes a fresh look at a figure widely acknowledged as the father of modern horror or "weird" fiction. In these pages, Lovecraft emerges not as the atheist and nihilist he is often claimed to be, but as a kind of "psychonaut" and mystic whose stories, through their own imaginative rigor,...

Bread
ISBN: 9781501307447 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Bread is an object that is always in process of becoming something else: flower to grain, grain to dough, dough to loaf, loaf to crumb. Bread is also often a figure or vehicle of social cohesion: from the homely image of "breaking bread together" to the mysteries of the Eucharist. But bread also commonly figures in social conflict - sometimes literally, in the "bread riots" that punctuate European history, and sometimes figuratively, in the ways bread operates as ethnic,...
