ISBN: 9780415862240 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Didactic Epic was enormously popular in the ancient world.

ISBN: 9780415088978 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work presents a comprehensive survey of the major surviving examples of Greek and Roman didactic poetry: Hesiod's Works and Days, Lucretius' On the Universe, Virgil's Georgics and Ovid's Art of Love amongst others.

Boredom: A Lively History
ISBN: 9780300181845 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In the first book to argue for the benefits of boredom, Peter Toohey dispels the myth that it's simply a childish emotion or an existential malaise like Jean-Paul Sartre's nausea. He shows how boredom is, in fact, one of our most common and constructive emotions and is an essential part of the human experience. This informative and entertaining investigation of boredom--what it is and what it isn't, its uses and its dangers--spans more than 3,000 years of history and takes readers through fascinating neurological and psychological theories of emotion, as well as recent scientific...
