A Frenchwoman's Imperial Story: Madame Luce in Nineteenth-Century Algeria
ISBN: 9780804784313 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eugenie Luce was a French schoolteacher who fled her husband and abandoned her family, migrating to Algeria in the early 1830s. By the mid-1840s she had become a major figure in debates around educational policies, insisting that women were a critical dimension of the French effort to effect a fusion of the races. To aid this fusion, she founded the first French school for Muslim girls in Algiers in 1845, which thrived until authorities cut off her funding in 1861. At this point, she switched from teaching spelling, grammar, and sewing, to embroidery--an endeavor that attracted the attention...

Sickness, Suffering, and the Sword: The British Regiment on Campaign, 1808-1815
ISBN: 9780806143439 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although an army's success is often measured in battle outcomes, its victories depend on strengths that may be less obvious on the field. In Sickness, Suffering, and the Sword, military historian Andrew Bamford assesses the effectiveness of the British Army in sustained campaigning during the Napoleonic Wars. In the process, he offers a fresh and controversial look at Britain's military system, showing that success or failure on campaign rested on the day-to-day experiences of regimental units rather than the army as a whole. Bamford draws his title from the words of Captain... Although an army's success is often measured in battle outcomes, its victories depend on strengths that may be less obvious on the field.

But as the enemy changes from simple ciphers to baffling "next to impossible"...

W swoich szkicach o XIX wieku starałem się jak najbardziej o rozbudowanie anegdoty i ilustracji. Sugerowałem raczej, niż wypowiadałem swoje poglądy filozoficzne. Nie mogę pisać nierozwodnionej anegdotami książki filozoficznej nie dlatego, że mnie na taką nie stać, lecz dlatego, że jej nikt czytać nie zechce. Owszem, są książki tak napisane, że ich nikt przeczytać nie może, i to zapewne stanowi podstawę ich wielkiego autorytetu, ale autorzy tego rodzaju książek mieli zwykle bardzo dużo wyznawców, a ja wyznawców nie miałem nigdy i teraz ich już nie mam na...

The Fox-Hunting Controversy, 1781-2004: Class and Cruelty
ISBN: 9781409442202 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. August 1781 saw the publication of a manual on fox hunting that would become a classic of its genre. Hugely popular in its own day, Peter Beckford's Thoughts on Hunting is often cited as marking the birth of modern hunting and continues to be quoted from affectionately today by the hunting fraternity. Less stressed is the fact that its subject was immediately controversial, and that a hostile review which appeared on the heels of the manual's publication raised two criticisms of fox hunting that would be repeated over the next two centuries: fox hunting was a cruel sport and a feudal,...

Visibility beyond the Visible : The Poetic Discourse of American Transcendentalism
ISBN: 9789042035560 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Visibility beyond the Visible. The Poetic Discourse of American Transcendentalism" is the first study to entirely deal with the poetics of American Transcendentalism. The author takes it for granted that the major New England transcendentalists were writers of utmost literary significance and so focuses thoroughly on their extremely rich and many-sided poetic discourse. The book's inevitable European perspective only enhances its preoccupation with the Americanness of the New England Transcendentalists, thus making it emphasize, in all the aspects of its concern, the uniqueness of the...
