Gentry: Social Change in Java: the Tale of a Family
ISBN: 9780987463722 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From their origin in paddy mud during the final decades of the Dutch East Indies, to unimagined roles within the new structures of a modernising Indonesia, 'Gentry' is the saga of an extended Javanese family heroically pursuing its dream of betterment through a social leap. There was in that era at the start of this story a unique route by which an exceptionally determined peasant might attain the status of a 'priyayi'--a class of functionary gentry with a government salary, bureaucratic aristocrats with duties divorced from manual labour, bearers of noble principles of responsibility,...

Old Hunting Grounds and Other Stories by Yuri Kazakov
ISBN: 9780987463715 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this second volume Kazakov presents more of his engaging character-cameos and North Russian scenic compositions. His pristine settings are once again living presences described with the touch of a 'psychologist of nature', to quote one of his admirers, the poet Andrei Voznesensky. This was a region whose inhabitants as late as the second half of the 20th century were still largely unaffected by the complexities of modernity, folk for whom the great world was the primordial one of their surroundings: an immediately-sensed universe extending from the near, and at first glance ordinary,...

Pescara Tales (1902): Spirit and Flesh: Images of Abruzzo
ISBN: 9780987463784 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The setting for his collection of eighteen stories by Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863-1938) was the Adriatic seaport of Pescara and its hinterland in the Italian region of Abruzzo, the author depicting events and personalities from the time of his youth, but also drawing from bygone incidents that were yet memorable in the area's folk history. Pescara may not have had the cachet of celebrated cities such as Venice or Florence, but sympathetically and wryly revealed here by the pen of one of Italy's great writers it lives and breathes with a vitality probably best compared to that of James Joyce's...

Old Hunting Grounds and Other Stories by Yuri Kazakov
ISBN: 9780987463708 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The two volumes consist of 38 short stories and travel sketches describing Russians and parts of the Soviet Union which up to Kazakov's time (he died in 1982) had been almost untouched by that country's 20th century upheavals. The majority of his settings are the coast and forests adjoining the White Sea, peopled by hunters, fishermen, buoy-keepers, ancient peasants, children in the most halcyon moment of their youth, and among his memorable actors are not excluded even an occasional soul-full dog or bear. Through the eyes of this new array of 'Russian originals' we return to forgotten ways...
