Przystanek Londyn
ISBN: 9788362247400 / Polski / Miękka ze skrzydełka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. „Przystanek Londyn” to coś więcej niż szczegółowa relacja z pobytu w nowym kraju; to więcej niż zbiór emigracyjnych historyjek z życia wziętych; więcej też niż poradnik, jak nie zagubić się wśród zbijających z tropu okoliczności i nowych reguł. To rzecz o ścieraniu się tego, co swojskie i niechciane, z tym, co obce i pożądane; to bezkompromisowa analiza siebie, swych słabości i przeświadczeń, podsuwająca czytelnikowi lustro, w którym może się przejrzeć. To również test na zdolność polskiego marzycielstwa i anarchizmu do adaptacji w odmiennej...

Comfort of Strangers: Social Life and Literary Form
ISBN: 9780199797202 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In most accounts, literature of the nineteenth century compulsively tells the story of the individual and interiority. But amidst the newly dense social landscapes of modernity, with London as the first city of one million inhabitants, this literature also sought to represent those unknown and unmet: strangers. Focusing on the ways that both Victorian literature and modern social thought responded to an emergent "society of strangers," The Comfort of Strangers argues for a new relation between literary form and the socially dense environments of modernity, insisting upon strangers in...

Lawrence (of Arabia) described his war-time chief as "the perfect leader," a man who "worked by influence rather than by loud direction. ...

The First Day on the Somme: 1 July 1916
ISBN: 9780141981604 / Angielski / Miękka / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On July 1, 1916, a continous line of British soldiers climbed out from the trenches of the Somme into No Man's Land and began to walk towards dug-in German troops armed with machine-guns. By the end of the day there were more than 60,000 British casualties--a third of them fatal. Martin Middlebrook's now-classic account of the blackest day in the history of the British army draws on official sources from the time, and on the words of hundreds of survivors: normal men, many of them volunteers, who found themselves thrown into a scene of unparalleled tragedy and horror.
