Paris-Edinburgh: Cultural Connections in the Belle Epoque
ISBN: 9780754634645 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 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. Whilst 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: 9780415127363 / Angielski / Twarda / 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...

Apocalypse Baby
ISBN: 9781558618916 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "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. Apocalypse Baby is more than a compelling punk, queerish spin on the noir genre. It is a choral performance that tumbles its readers into the heart of violent spectacle, with all its attendant grief, unease, and unclarity."--Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts Apocalypse Baby is a smart, fast-paced mystery about a missing adolescent girl traveling...
