The Kingdom of Insignificance: Miron Bialoszewski and the Quotidian, the Queer, and the Traumatic
ISBN: 9780810128460 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this first scholarly book in English on Miron Bialoszewski (1922-1983), Joanna Niżyńska illuminates the elusive prose of one of the most compelling and challenging postwar Polish writers. Niżyńska's study, exemplary in its use of theoretical concepts, introduces English-language readers to a preeminent voice of Polish literature. Niżyńska explores how a fusion of seemingly irreconcilable qualities, such as the traumatic and the everyday, imbues Bialoszewski's writing with its idiosyncratic appeal.

Voiceless Vanguard: The Infantilist Aesthetic of the Russian Avant-Garde
ISBN: 9780810129849 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner, 2015 International Research Society in Children's Literature (IRSCL) Book Award Voiceless Vanguard: The Infantilist Aesthetic of the Russian Avant-Garde offers a new approach to the Russian avant-garde. It argues that central writers, artists, and theorists of the avant-garde self-consciously used an infantile aesthetic, as inspired by children's art, language, perspective, and logic, to accomplish the artistic renewal they were seeking in literature, theory, and art. It treats the influence of children's drawings on the Neo-Primitivist art of Mikhail Larionov, the role of...

Worlds Apart?: A Postcolonial Reading of Post-1945 East-Central European Culture
ISBN: 9781443848145 / Angielski / Miękka / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study explores the relation of the Eastern European problematic to postcolonial critical practice, interrogating the extent to which postcolonialism can help illuminate instances of imperial domination in non-Third World contexts. It argues that colonisation is to be understood principally as a condition of ideological domination that has engendered similar forms of literary and cultural resistance; consequently, it offers a comparative framework which enables a reading in differential contexts of texts that ostensibly have little in common, but which, on closer examination, reveal a...

ISBN: 9780810134140 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Joseph Conrad's Polish Soul: Realms of Memory and Self
ISBN: 9788377847862 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Born into a Polish szlachta (noble) family, the extraordinary modern novelist Joseph Conrad maintained, even in exile, strong ties to his Polish heritage and culture. Yet the author earned renown by writing in English, often about nautical adventures in remote parts of the world. In Joseph Conrad's Polish Soul, G. W. Stephen Brodsky seeks to reclaim the essentially Polish sensibility of Conrad's groundbreaking oeuvre. He finds in Conrad's work a distinct Polonism that plays intriguingly with selfhood, freedom, and irony. For Brodsky, Conrad's outlook and writing betray numerous...

Between Fire and Sleep: Essays on Modern Polish Poetry and Prose
ISBN: 9780300207460 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Twentieth-century Polish literature is often said to be a witness to history, a narrative of the historical and political disasters that visited the nation. In this insightful book, Jaroslaw Anders examines Poland's modern poetry and fiction and explains that the best Polish writing of the period 1918-1989 was much more than testimony. Rather, it constantly transformed historical experience into metaphysical reflection, a philosophical or religious exploration of human existence. Anders analyzes and contextualizes the work of nine modern Polish writers. These include the three madmen of the...

Hungarian Sentence Prosody and Universal Grammar: On the Phonology - Syntax Interface
ISBN: 9783631382516 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book presents a generative account of the relation between the prosodic and syntactic structure in Hungarian. It shows that, in order to account for the various scope readings of a single syntactic structure, one has to consider the respective prosodic realizations suggesting a direct relation between Phonetic Form and Logical Form. Universal principles of this relation are supported by data from a number of languages.

Verfemte Autoren: Werke Von Marina Cvetaeva, Michail Bulgakov, Aleksandr Vvedenskij Und Daniil Charms Auf Den Deutschen Bühnen Der 90er
ISBN: 9783484660403 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 179 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Der Zerfall der Sowjetunion und die Nivellierung der Grenzen zwischen Ost und West nahm unter den Ereignissen, die das Leben in Europa am Ende des vergangenen Jahrhunderts bestimmten, einen wesentlichen Platz ein. Da Deutschland die Ost-West-Annaherung auf eigenem Boden erlebte, war auch die Reflexion dieses Prozesses auf der deutschen Buhne im Vergleich zu den anderen europaischen Theatern sehr aufschlureich. Unter den Werken, die kurz vor und nach der Wende von den deutschen Regisseuren entdeckt wurden, sind Texte von russischen Autoren, die in der Sowjetunion der 20er und 30er Jahre zum...
