Updike: America's Man of Letters
ISBN: 9781558495074 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By the age of twenty-eight, John Updike had already been published in the three major forms -- novel, poem, and short story -- he would continue to explore with steadily expanding skill and authority. For the next four decades his literary career would realize itself primarily in these three forms, but also in essays, reviews, and memoirs, and in resourceful commentary on his own work -- the stuff of many interviews and prefaces. In this book, William H. Pritchard offers not a biography, but an insightful portrait of the writer and his work.

De Profundis by Oscar Wilde, Fiction, Literary, Classics, Literary Collections
ISBN: 9781598182736 / Angielski / Twarda / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. De Profundis does not resemble any of the other works that made Wilde famous and it's a work that often seems to make critics uncomfortable. Perhaps justly so: in the end it's a response to Wilde's imprisonment for homosexuality. In our modern context, that makes the work easy to look away from -- but it also speaks to things that concern and disturb many people, even today. De Profundis does not resemble any of the other works that made Wilde famous and it's a work that often seems to make critics uncomfortable. Perhap... |

This widely-praised volume collects together over 500 of those letters, dating from 1777 to just days before the Battle of Trafalgar that would seal both his fate and his fame.
