Euripides: 'Helen'
ISBN: 9780521545419 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This up-to-date edition offers a detailed literary and cultural analysis of Euripides' Helen, a work which arguably embodies the variety and dynamism of fifth-century Athenian tragedy more than any other surviving play. The story of an exemplary wife (not an adulteress) who went to Egypt (not to Troy), Euripides' 'new Helen' skilfully transforms and supplants earlier currents of literature and myth. The Introduction elucidates Euripides' treatment of Helen and sets the play in its wider intellectual context. It also discusses questions of genre and reception, rejecting such descriptions as...

The African Husbandman
ISBN: 9783825830878 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 568 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Upon its initial publication in 1965, The African Husbandman helped a generation of scholars and officials appreciate that Africans' agricultural practices were both more complex and more malleable than was often thought. Allan's work also pioneered research methods that wedded ethnographic and ecological fieldwork in ways that demonstrated the inextricable links between social arrangements, environmental conditions, and land use patterns. If certain facets of Allan's analysis have now come under scrutiny, such as his concept of carrying capacity and his belief in the positive consequences of...

The Andromache and Euripidean Tragedy
ISBN: 9780198152972 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Andromache has long been disparaged despite being a brilliant piece of theater. In this book Dr. Allan draws attention to the neglected artistry of this very impressive and intriguing text. Through careful analysis the Andromache emerges as a play that poses fundamental questions, especially about the polarity of Greek and barbarian, and the morality of the gods. Dr. Allan shows how the play also challenges revenge as a motive for action, and explores the role of women as wives, mothers, and victims of war, be they Greek or Trojan, victorious or defeated. These are among the central...

The Army of Northern Virginia in 1862
ISBN: 9781494449575 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. With the exception of George Washington, perhaps the most famous general in American history is Robert E. Lee (January 19, 1807 - October 12, 1870), despite the fact he led the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia against the Union in the Civil War. Lee is remembered today for constantly defeating the Union's Army of the Potomac in the Eastern theater from 1862-1865, considerably frustrating Lincoln and his generals. His leadership of his army led to him being deified after the war by some of his former subordinates, especially Virginians, and he came to personify the Lost Cause's ideal...
