ISBN: 9780226453927 / Angielski / Miękka / 358 str.

Dreamtigers
ISBN: 9780292715493 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Dreamtigers has been heralded as one of the literary masterpieces of the twentieth century by Mortimer J. Adler, editor of Great Books of the Western World. It has been acknowledged by its author as his most personal work.

Segregated Miscegenation: On the Treatment of Racial Hybridity in the North American and Latin American Literary Traditions
ISBN: 9780415943499 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str.

Tracing the differences and similarities between national literatures and the ways these nations define and stratify racial categorisations, the author shows how the literary imagination works to incorporate, reject and/or deny the numerically and culturally significant...

Veinte Poemas de Amor y Una Cancion Desesperada
ISBN: 9780719072994 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 189 str. Pablo Neruda's Veinte poemas de amor y una cancion desesperada (1924) is the most widely read and best loved book of poetry ever written in Spanish. Its verses can be recited by heart by millions of Latin Americans from every background and walk of life, and it has become almost a bible for young lovers.
Yet despite, or perhaps because of this immense popular success, it has received scant attention from scholars, often being studied out of context and in relatively superficial fashion. This new critical edition - the first to include critical notes in English - argues that the book...
