Paris-Edinburgh: Cultural Connections in the Belle Epoque
ISBN: 9781138264304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. By the end of the nineteenth century, Paris was widely acknowledged as the cultural capital of the world, the home of avant-garde music and art, symbolist literature and bohemian culture. Edinburgh, by contrast, may still be thought of as a rather staid city of lawyers and Presbyterian ministers, academics and doctors. While its great days as a centre for the European Enlightenment may have been behind it, however, late Victorian Edinburgh was becoming the location for a new set of cultural institutions, with its own avant-garde, that corresponded with a renewed Scottish national...

France Between the Wars: Gender and Politics
ISBN: 9780415127370 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text challenges a prevailing assumption that women had little influence or power in France during the interwar period. Sian Reynolds shows how women in fact had both autonomy and authority within the political arena through their activities in social work, peace movements and strikes, and in other areas less directly linked with conventional politics. Sian Reynolds brings together two kinds of history: the political history of France between the wars as it appears in general textbooks, and the work carried out in women's history covering the same period. In doing so she creates a history...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) "Virginie Despentes's Apocalypse Baby kept me up several nights in a row--in part because it's a terrific page-turner, and in part because I was anxious to see how Despentes would sustain her narrative ride.
