Tricks of Fate: Escape, Survival and Rescue 1939-1945
ISBN: 9780889628625 / Angielski / Miękka / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One aspect of Holocaust experience and literature has been largely undocumented - up to now. The value and importance of Tricks of Fate is that it fills in this apparent void in Holocaust literature. Morris Gruda's flight through Nazi occupied Poland and into the Soviet Union, his struggles for survival and his return to Poland at the end of the war is a unique story, but one which he shared with many other Jews. Indeed, it is estimated that 300,000 Jews were caught in or escaped into Russian-occupied Poland shortly after the German invasion of Poland in September 1939. Many of these Jews...

"Wife," one longtime resident of Blanco Canyon was overheard sighing, "we've spent most of our forty years here just waiting for a rain " Blanco Canyon, on the edge of West Texas' Cap Rock, is a land of charm and brutality, generosity and denial, exquisite beauty after a rain and harsh death when the rains don't come. It is a land where over a hundred years ago one Captain J. C. McNeill started a cattle ranch in the mistaken hope that range and weather conditions then prevailing would continue. It is a land where his descendants still raise cattle, but with full knowledge now that any good...

After the War
ISBN: 9780892633319 / Angielski / Twarda / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Set against the backdrop of New York City in the 1950s, After the War captures those exciting years when everyone was trying to make up for lost time. It was a time for experimentation, and returned to World War II veteran Richard Stone deliberately erected a wall of disconnectionism, pursued a rootless, Rilkelike existence in borrowed apartments, hocking the belongings for eating (and drinking) money. It was a time for intense living, and love: Richard's love affair with bewitching and bewildering Jemmy Gordon, only child of a celebrated war correspondent, is a masterpiece of enigma and...

Revolt Against the Modern World: Politics, Religion, and Social Order in the Kali Yuga
ISBN: 9780892815067 / Angielski / Twarda / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. No idea is as absurd as the idea of progress, which together with its corollary notion of the superiority of modern civilization, has created its own "positive" alibis by falsifying history, by insinuating harmful myths in people's minds, and by proclaiming itself sovereign at the crossroads of the plebeian ideology from which it originated. In order to understand both the spirit of Tradition and its antithesis, modern civilization, it is necessary to begin with the fundamental doctrine of the two natures. According to this doctrine there is a physical order of things and a...

Through the Shadows with O. Henry
ISBN: 9780896724808 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Al Jennings, if we are to believe him, was for several years a close friend of O. Henry (William Sydney Porter), perhaps America s favorite short-story writer. They met, Jennings claims, as outlaws on the run in Honduras, served time together in the Columbus, Ohio, Penitentiary at the turn of the century, and later met up in New York. Jennings, erstwhile lawyer, bank robber, and Hollywood consultant, was the subject of the 1951 movie Al Jennings of Oklahoma, starring Dan Duryea. Although a suspect narrator at best, Jennings is a masterful storyteller in this 1921 classic. Jennings describes...

Claudian's Panegyric on the Fourth Consulate of Honorius: Text, Translation and Commentary
ISBN: 9780905205113 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Claudius Claudianus (fl. circa 400 AD) was one of the last major poets of the Roman Empire. Highly regarded by his contemporaries, he is one of the great transmitters of Latin culture to Medieval Europe. The Panegyric on the IVth Consulate of the Emperor Honorius, written for an important state occasion, ranks among his major works. Its core is a detailed discourse on kingship, a subject of paramount interest which the Middle Ages inherited from antiquity; and in its entirety it is an interestingly worked example of formal encomium - the praise of a ruler. William Barr's translation sets out...

Properzio: Elegie Libro II: Introduzione, Testo E Commento
ISBN: 9780905205427 / Angielski / Twarda / 1072 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Augustan elegiac poet Sextus Propertius composed four books of elegies; erotic, political, and personal, in the first two decades of the reign of the emperor Augustus. Propertius' unique combination of passionate commitment to love and life with profound Hellenistic learning and wit has endowed his elegies with a vividness and variety which still fascinates after two thousand years. Of the four books of Propertius, Book 2 has always presented the most impenetrable, difficulties of text and interpretation. Paolo Fedeli's major commentary on the book, written in lucid and elegant Italian,...
