Darwin's Origin of Species
ISBN: 9780802143464 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Charles Darwin s foremost biographer, Janet Browne, delivers a vivid and accessible introduction to the book that permanently altered our understanding of what it is to be human. A sensation on its publication in 1859, "The Origin of the Species "profoundly shocked Victorian readers by calling into question the belief in a Creator with its description of evolution through natural selection. And Darwin s seminal work is nearly as controversial today. In her illuminating study, Browne delves into the long genesis of Darwin s theories, from his readings as a university student and his five-year...

On Love and Barley: Haiku of Basho
ISBN: 9780824810122 / Angielski / Twarda / 1986 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In a thoughtful and perceptive introduction, Stryk sets the stage for an appreciation of what Basho's poetry has to offer, sketching his life, his times, his spirit. For most of his life Basho was a recluse. He lived on the outskirts of Edo (Tokyo) in a hut shaded by an exotic banana tree (the Basho). When he traveled, he relied entirely on the hospitality of temples and fellow poets. His poems were strongly influenced by the Zen sect of Buddhism and its ideals of lightness, detachment, and appreciation of the commonplace. Basho aspired to and achieved unity of life and art, his poems become...

Collected Poems 1953-1983
ISBN: 9780804008563 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Lucien Stryk's poetry is made of simple things -- frost on a windowpane at morning, ducks moving across a pond, a neighbor's fuss over his lawn -- set into language that is at once direct and powerful. Years of translating Zen poems and religious texts have helped give Stryk a special sense of the particular, a feel for those details which, because they are so much a part of our lives, seem to define us. Stryk's poetry is neither an attempt to surpass these details nor an attempt to give them significance. It is an activity that exists among them, as ordinary -- yet as important -- as breath....

An Accident
ISBN: 9780881454765 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A woman is run over and critically injured. The driver appears at her bedside. There are encounters in life that take you somewhere you've never been and never meant to go. "Lydia Stryk's compelling AN ACCIDENT ... is a fictionalized account of the recovery process the playwright herself went through after an] accident seven years ago, but it's equally the drama of something Stryk was denied - coming to terms with the man who hit her. In an acting pas de deux ... Libby's recovery is mirrored by that man's wrestle with his guilt and responsibility. The sharply defined stages of her progress...

Cage of Fireflies: Modern Japanese Haiku
ISBN: 9780804009775 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Haiku at its best is an art in which the poet takes a natural, most ordinary event, and without fuss, ornament or inflated words makes of it a rare moment sparely rendered, crystallized into a microcosm which reveals transcendent unity. Small wonder haiku has a growing audience throughout the world.
In all arts music, painting, dance, theatre change has come with that startling moment of dissatisfaction when the artist upends complacency, shocks the old to its foundations, and emerges with clear vision. He has had the courage to rescue his art from dullness. Two of Japan s Great Four of...

Zen Poems of China & Japan
ISBN: 9780802130198 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Capturing in verse the ageless spirit of Zen, these 150 poems reflect the insight of famed masters from the ninth century to the nineteenth. The translators, in collaboration with Zen Master Taigan Takayama, have furnished illuminating commentary on the poems and arranged them as to facilitate comparison between the Chinese and Japanese Zen traditions. The poems themselves, rendered in clear and powerful English, offer a unique approach to Zen Buddhism, compared with which, as Lucien Stryk writes, the many disquisitions on its meaning are as dust to living earth. We see in these poems, as in...
