After the founding of the People s Republic of China in 1949, Beijing became not only the political center of the new communist country, but also the signifier of socialist ideol-ogy and revolutionary culture.

Over the course of the last century, then, Beijing moved from the quintessential traditional capital to the symbol of communist urban form and finally to a cosmopolitan metropolis.

ISBN: 9780190498931 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When the Umayyads, the first Islamic dynasty, rose to power shortly after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (d. 632), the polity of which they assumed control had only recently expanded out of Arabia into the Roman eastern Mediterranean, Iraq and Iran. A century later, by the time of their downfall in 750, the last Umayyad caliphs governed the largest empire that the world had seen, stretching from Spain in the West to the Indus valley and Central Asia in the East. By then, their dynasty and the ruling circles around it had articulated with increasing clarity the public face of the new...

The English Renaissance and the Far East: Cross-Cultural Encounters
ISBN: 9781611475159 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an original and timely examination of cultural encounters between Britain, China and Japan. It challenges accepted Anglocentric models of East-West relations and, in doing so, offers a radical reconceptualization of the English Renaissance, suggesting it was not so different from current developments in an increasingly Sinocentric world, and that as China, in particular, returns to a global center-stage that it last occupied pre-1800, a curious and overlooked synergy exists between the early modern and the present. Prompted by the current eastward tilt in global power, in...

The Heart of Japan (Routledge Revivals): Glimpses of Life and Nature Far from the Travellers' Track in the Land of the Rising Sun
ISBN: 9780415742238 / Angielski / Miękka / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of commentaries and reflections on Japanese culture, first published in 1904, was written shortly after the return of two English aristocrats from five years spent immersed in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. Their intention through these anecdotes – some humorous and charming, others tragic and thought-provoking – was to offer glimpses into the "real inner spirit of the native life," and to provide insights into the remarkable idiosyncrasies of Japanese society during a period of unprecedented change. Touching on such diverse topics as sport, religion, music,...
