Writing Across Culture: An Introduction to Study Abroad and the Writing Process
ISBN: 9781433167065 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is about culture shock and the writing process. For a student, the relationship between writing and the challenge of living in a foreign culture may not be obvious. The purpose of Writing Across Culture is to aid the student in documenting and analyzing the connection. If culture can be broadly defined as the unwritten rules of every-day life, one effective method for learning these rules is to write about them as they are discovered. In this way, it is possible to see writing as a tool for cultural inquiry and comprehension, and, hence, an antidote for culture shock. Writing Across...

Hollywood's Stephen King
ISBN: 9780312293215 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. For the past three decades, Hollywood has faithfully adapted much of Stephen King's fiction into film. Of the many major films that have been made, not one has lost money. Part of this may be explained in terms of King's own popularity in American culture; he has been, after all, a best-selling writer since the late 1970s. But more interesting is what this cinematic fascination reveals about postmodern American culture. In the first overview of Hollywood's major cinematic interpretations of Stephen King, Tony Magistrale examines the various thematic, narrative, and character interconnections...

What She Says about Love
ISBN: 9781884419928 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. I read the poems of What She Said About Love with a growing sense of their achievement, their expression of a particular and valuable voice. Here is a poet who understands that "The act of casting shape from chaos / breeds enemies." That refers to Michaelangelo, but it stands in for the poet generally, and especially one of who has Tony Magistrale's gifts. Poetry is the enemy of bland, boring, mass-produced speech. It is language intensified to a level of combat with the world. And Magistrale has managed to keep up the fight in poem after poem. This is a bracing, sweet, dark, and always...

ISBN: 9780879724054 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of the very first books to take Stephen King seriously, Landscape of Fear (originally published in 1988) reveals the source of King's horror in the sociopolitical anxieties of the post-Vietnam, post-Watergate era.
