Studying British Cinema: 1990s
ISBN: 9781906733032 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1990s were years of contradiction for British cinema. On the one hand, the exhibition and production of British films bounced back from the dark days of the early 1980s, in which cinema attendance and filmmaking slumped to an all-time low. On the other hand, foreign investment now played a major role in supporting the industry, with companies erecting cinema multiplexs and, particularly in the case of American investment, pouring money into big budget British productions. While this kept studios, technicians, directors, and actors busy, none of the profits from these films made it back to...

ISBN: 9789004191662 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Golden Year of Fan Cheng-Ta: A Chinese Rural Sequence Rendered Into English Verse
ISBN: 9781107679238 / Chiński / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eight centuries divide us from Fan Cheng-ta, but across this gap of time his voice may still be heard - suave, familiar, peaceable - in a cycle of small poems which, reflecting the Chinese rural year, seem as fresh today as when they first came from his brush. The task of rendering the quality of Chinese poetry into English is temptingly difficult; and success in such an enterprise is rare and rewarding. How it came to be attempted by an English poet with the help of a Chinese scholar is told briefly in Mr Bullett's preface. The current edition is a re-issue of Mr Bullett's 1946 text.
