Proust Between Two Centuries
ISBN: 9780231072649 / Angielski / Twarda / 311 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Was Marcel Proust the last of the great classics or the first of the revolutionaries? Proust was thirty in 1901 and he died in 1922, living longer in the nineteenth century than he did in the twentieth. His work, especially the monumental sixteen-volume novel Remembrance of Things Past, draws its aesthetic affinities from the century of Baudelaire, Wagner, and Ruskin but at the same time escapes late nineteenth-century decadent aestheticism to reach toward an early twentieth-century modernist stance.

Marrano as Metaphor: The Jewish Presence in French Writing
ISBN: 9780231103084 / Angielski / Twarda / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Europeans in the Middle Ages spoke of "marranos," they were making a derogatory reference to "crypto-Jews"--those who publicly converted to and performed as Christians, but who remained secretly faithful to Judaic law. Today, asserts Elaine Marks in Marrano as Metaphor, the concept can be used to describe all Jews living in a dominant Christian or Muslim culture, whatever may be their conscious relationship to Judaism. A sweeping examination of the Jewish presence in French literature from the sixteenth century to the present, Marrano as Metaphor explores the many...

ISBN: 9780231139786 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jacques Derrida argues that the feminist and intellectual Helene Cixous is the most important writer working within the French idiom today.

Derrida explores Cixous's genius (a masculine term in French, he is quick to point out) and the inspiration that guides and informs her writing. He marvels at her skillful working within multiple genres. He focuses on a number of her works, including her...

Bell explores the decisive impact the accelerated movement of people and information had on the fictions of four giants of French realism - Balzac, Stendhal, Dumas, and Zola.

Proust's Deadline
ISBN: 9780252030703 / Angielski / Twarda / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Marcel Proust's multivolume masterpiece, A la recherche du temps perdu, began to appear in 1913. Over the next fifty years, it gained a reputation as one of the greatest literary works of the twentieth century. But the novel's classic image as a completed work was later shattered by the discovery of unpublished drafts, and the "war of the Prousts" has kept scholars arguing over its definitive form ever since. Christine M. Cano's Proust's Deadline presents a concise history of the publishing and reception of A la recherche du temps perdu, and sorts out the most important issues that have...
