A Dark and Stormy Oeuvre: Crime, Magic and Power in the Novels of Edward Bulwer-Lytton
ISBN: 9780786499489 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Edward Bulwer-Lytton--who coined the terms "the great unwashed" and "the pen is mightier than the sword"--is best remembered for persuading Dickens to change the ending of Great Expectations; but Lord Lytton was a prolific and influential novelist in his own right, inspiring Edgar Allan Poe, H. Rider Haggard and Madame Blavatsky, among others. His radicalism was applauded by William Godwin, the father of both Mary Shelley and the anarchist movement, and his ideas about power foreshadowed those of Friedrich Nietzsche.
Fascinated by crime, Bulwer-Lytton was an outspoken critic of his...

Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I
ISBN: 9781887726030 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. World War I has been called "the poets' war," as it was characterized by a massive outpouring of works of literature during and after the war. Much of this literary harvest, as Paul Fussell brilliantly demonstrated in The Great War and Modern Memory, hinged on an ironic response to the deadly absurdities of World War I. Yet, Fussell also acknowledges that fantasy could be a legitimate literary response to the war, a way of transforming the horrible experiences of the war into something more bearable, applicable, and relevant; into myth and "Escape" in the sense that Tolkien used the term in...

ISBN: 9781507632659 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It all started in a secret military base called 'Facility', when Koshan, a humble trainee, was killed by the central committee, without providing him any fair trial. A chilly gust of revenge swept Koshan's friends hard, and they decided to commit an upheaval against the central committee as they'd had to suffer those meaningless murders of the committee for countless times. The place they lived in, was a mysterious place where no sunlight or even moonlight could reach. For some obscured reasons, they were never allowed to go outside of the 'Facility', let alone have a family and settle down,...
