Un Yanqui en la Corte del Rey Arturo (Spanish Edition)
ISBN: 9781539887478 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Con este viaje al pasado, Mark Twain no pretende hacer alardes cientificos, la transposicion de epocas y cuerpos es solo un pretexto para escribir un relato humoristico, empapado, como es habitual en el, de satira social y politica. Las instituciones monarquicas, eclesiasticas y caballerescas reciben un buen repaso; y los personajes, un tanto grotesctos y caricaturizados, a la vez que nos divierten, nos situan frente a la desconfianza del autor ante ciertos valores morales tenidos entonces por inamovibles."

Laughter in Middle-earth: Humour in and around the Works of JRR Tolkien
ISBN: 9783905703351 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "It is precisely against the darkness of the world that comedy arises, and it is best when that is not hidden." With these words Tolkien replied to Rayner Unwin's comments upon first reading Book 1 of Lord of the Rings. Rayner had not commented on the comedy of Book 1 but on the overpowering effect of "the struggle between darkness and light," as he put it, and that omission disappointed Tolkien. If this was the response of Tolkien's famous first reviewer, it is not surprising that academic studies have also tended to overlook or disregard both the presence of humour in...

Steven Moffat's Doctor Who 2014-2015: The Critical Fan's Guide to Peter Capaldi's Doctor (Unauthorized)
ISBN: 9781908375315 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After three successful seasons at the helm of Doctor Who, Steven Moffat was faced with the need to establish a whole new direction for the show with the introduction of his second Doctor. When it was announced in August 2013 that Peter Capaldi would be taking over the role for the following year's series, Doctor Who's public profile was bigger than ever before, and the reveal of the new Doctor became a TV event in its own right. Unlike the mixed reaction to the virtually unknown Matt Smith becoming the Doctor, Capaldi's casting was met with almost universal approval. Moffat spoke of how the...

Genres of Doubt: Science Fiction, Fantasy and the Victorian Crisis of Faith
ISBN: 9781476665627 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nineteenth-century Britain gave birth to the fantasy novel and the science fiction novel--two of today's most popular genres. During the same period, the traditional Christian beliefs that had underpinned British society for centuries faced new challenges as geological discoveries, the writings of Charles Darwin and exposure to other cultures gave rise to a Victorian "crisis of faith." These two shifts--one literary, one cultural--were deeply intertwined. The novel, a literary form that was developed as a vehicle for realism, when infused with unreal elements offered a space to...

Wells Meets Deleuze: The Scientific Romances Reconsidered
ISBN: 9781476668352 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The writings of H.G. Wells have had a profound influence on literary and cinematic depictions of the present and the possible future, and modern science fiction continues to be indebted to his "scientific romances," such as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Interpreted and adapted for more than a century, Wells's texts have resisted easy categorization and are perennial subjects for emerging critical and theoretical perspectives. The author examines Wells's works through the post-structuralist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Via this critical...
