Norah Hoult's 'Poor Women!': A Critical Edition
ISBN: 9781783085880 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Irish author (Eleanor) Norah Hoult (1898-1984) traveled in prominent literary circles and corresponded actively with some of the leading Irish authors of her time, including Brigid Brophy, Sean O'Casey, and Sean O'Faolain. Critics today compare her not only to O'Faolain and Frank O'Connor, but also to novelists Kate O'Brien and Edna O'Brien. Despite her reputation and a forty-four year publishing career, however, Hoult and her work remain surprisingly neglected. This edition rectifies this critical oversight and introduces Hoult's short story collection, 'Poor Women ', to a new...

This collection brings all of Casey s powerful short stories and a fragment of an unfinished novel to an English-speaking audience for the first time.

ISBN: 9780820352473 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Piano Tuner, Peter Meinke writes of the foreignness that awaits us when we go abroad and when we answer our own front door to admit a stranger, that confronts us in unfamiliar cities and villages and in the equally disquieting surroundings of our memories and regrets. Often in these stories, what seems a safe, comfortable environment turns suddenly threatening. In the title story, a writer's quiet existence amid his antiques and books is dismantled, piece by piece, by a demonic, beer-bellied piano tuner. In "The Ponoes," a man recalls how, as a young boy living in...

The Europeans
ISBN: 9781107004030 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Cambridge Edition of the Complete Fiction of Henry James provides, for the first time, a scholarly edition of a major writer whose work continues to be read, quoted, adapted and studied. James's The Europeans gently satirizes both early nineteenth-century New England society and the sophisticated visiting Europeans who encounter it. While this wryly comic novel has had its critical champions - F. R. Leavis and Richard Poirier among them - it has not previously received the scholarly attention it deserves. This edition, based on the work's first book appearance (Macmillan, 1878),...

The Grand Prize and Other Stories
ISBN: 9780810118492 / Angielski / Twarda / 97 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Daniela Crasnaru is one of the most prominent poets and short story writers in her native Romania. Once a vocal foe of the Ceaucescu regime, Crasnaru was influenced by the political repression of the communist period; but her short stories depart from those of the many Eastern European writers who use literature purely as a forum for political expression. She also focuses her sympathetic eye on the human foibles of ordinary people whose lives are limited by feelings of helplessness and failure. Crasnaru portrays the lives of people so used to hardship that it never occurs to them to...
