But Margaret's master followed just hours behind and soon had the fugitives surrounded. Thinking all was lost, Margaret seized a butcher knife and nearly decapitated her two-year-old daughter, crying out that she would rather see her children dead than returned to slavery.

The Sins of the Father : A Romance of the South
ISBN: 9780813191171 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. " Today, Thomas Dixon is perhaps best known as the author of the best-selling early twentieth-century trilogy that included the novel The Clansman (1905), which provided the core narrative for D.W. Griffith's groundbreaking and still-controversial film The Birth of a Nation. It was The Sins of the Father, however, that Dixon regarded as the most aesthetically satisfying child of his Ku Klux Klan saga. In this novel he telescopes the trilogy's sprawling historical canvas into one tightly scripted narrative. A best-seller in 1912, the novel's themes of interracial sex and incest outraged...

Gravity's Rainbow, Domination, and Freedom
ISBN: 9780820335087 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When published in 1973, Gravity's Rainbow expanded our sense of what the novel could be. Pynchon's extensive references to modern science, history, and culture challenged any reader, while his prose bent the rules for narrative art and his satirical practices taunted U.S. obscenity and pornography statutes. His writing thus enacts freedom even as the book's great theme is domination: humanity's diminished "chances for freedom" in a global military-industrial system birthed and set on its feet in World War II. Its symbol: the V-2 rocket. "Gravity's Rainbow," Domination, and... When published in 1973, Gravity's Rainbow expanded our sense of what the novel could be.
