Not With a Bang But a Whimper: The Politics and Culture of Decline
ISBN: 9781906308100 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 291 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The Politics and Culture of Decline. 'Not With a Bang But a Whimper' is a beautifully-written and thought-provoking collection of pieces on subjects as diverse as the Jonathan Ross/Russell Brand controversy, violent crime on Britain's streets, the effects of the welfare state, modern architecture and the respective merits of Shakespeare and Dr Johnson. Theodore Dalrymple uses examples from his long career as a prison doctor, and his travels to every corner of the globe, to illustrate his central view - that Britain is in the throes of a catastrophic cultural, social and political decline.

Anything Goes
ISBN: 9780578084893 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Theodore Dalrymple's work focuses on the moral decay of modern culture and the pernicious effect of political correctness on society. Anything Goes is a collection of some of his finest work written between 2005 and 2009 for New English Review. A note on the cover from New English Review Press: This jazz age photograph by Alfred Cheney Johnston reflects the classical conviction that the human form expresses a spiritual level of beauty, the artwork of God, if you will. It is also a statement about the essential humanism of Dr. Dalrymple's work. One cannot look at that figure and see an animal...

Na dnie
ISBN: 9788364599408 / Polski / Miękka / 2016 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Oto bezlitosna, prawdopodobnie najlepsza opublikowana jak dotąd charakterystyka postawy życiowej współczesnej klasy niższej, pozwalająca zrozumieć, na czym tak naprawdę polega „pułapka biedy”. W swojej karierze zawodowej lekarza psychiatry Theodore Dalrymple pracował w szpitalu przy slumsach, w więzieniu oraz w ubogich krajach Afryki Subsaharyjskiej – można więc sądzić, że widział już wszystko. A jednak przypadki, z którymi spotykał się na co dzień w Anglii, nie przestawały wprawiać go w niedowierzanie. Bezsens egzystencji, powtarzalność błędów, degeneracja,...

Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses
ISBN: 9781566637213 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This new collection of essays by the author of Life at the Bottom bears the unmistakable stamp of Theodore Dalrymple's bracingly clearsighted view of the human condition. It suggests comparison with the work of George Orwell. In these twenty-six pieces, Dr. Dalrymple ranges over literature and ideas, from Shakespeare to Marx, from the breakdown of Islam to the legalization of drugs. Informed by years of medical practice in a wide variety of settings, his acquaintance with the outer limits of human experience allows him to discover the universal in the local and the particular, and makes him...

Farewell Fear
ISBN: 9780985439477 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Farewell Fear is a collection of Theodore Dalrymple's finest essays written for New English Review between 2009 and 2012. His first such collection was Anything Goes (2011). Once encountered, Theodore Dalrymple has become for many of us a shared treasure-the cultured, often mordantly funny social commentator who was for many years a psychiatrist at a British prison. This collection of recent essays captures Dalrymple at his best, ruminating at one moment about why poisoners tend to be more interesting than other kinds of murderers and at another why Tony Blair's mind reminds him of an Escher...

The Pleasure of Thinking
ISBN: 9781908096647 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. What is the connection between God and East Sheen? How do you talk your way out of an Albanian jail? Why do dictators love to make comic books? How does a missed penalty-kick lead to a bloody war? Theodore Dalrymple, a psychiatrist who gives expert witness in murder cases, has a passion for sideways thinking. In The Pleasure of Thinking he takes us on a witty and erudite voyage along the hidden pathways that bring ideas together. At once light-hearted and enlightening, it is an amusing flight of the imagination in which we discover the happy accidents that befall those who remain endlessly...

Pit of Shame: The Real Ballad of Reading Gaol
ISBN: 9781904380214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A uniquely-sourced account of the life and times of one of the UK's most famous prisons - a fame that flows directly from an account of the execution of Trooper Charles Thomas Wooldridge (CTW) as written by Reading Gaol's best-known prisoner, C.3.3, the pseudonym of Oscar Wilde. Wilde's Ballad of Reading Gaol, his last work for publication in 1898 is known the world over for its insights and telling phrases, such as 'bricks of shame', 'souls in pain' and 'that little tent of blue, that prisoners call the sky'. Possibly the greatest and most influential artistic work in terms of penal reform...

What Is Wrong with Us?: Essays in Cultural Pathology
ISBN: 9781845409005 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Can any of us entirely banish from our hearts and minds grave misgivings about the condition of the culture we now inhabit? Expressions of those misgivings are mostly unheard in public forums, ignored in the dominant media, and, if noticed at all, dismissed by state-supported bureaucracies and commercial vested interests. To have any chance of gaining attention, they must resolve themselves into coherent forms. We need to clarify our perceptions of the things that trouble us, by articulating and developing our thoughts about them. That is, we are in need of serious...

How the West Was Lost
ISBN: 9781850439851 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What made the West 'western'? And has Western civilisation found modernity but lost itself? This provocative and stimulating polemic argues that the modern world has destroyed western culture and civilisation without gaining anything in return, leaving contemporary man with a spiritual and cultural gap that no amount of material wealth can fill. This is a brave and challenging attempt to explain how and why this has happened and present a new concept of modern history for our complacent times.
