The volume of collected short stories and vignettes In Our Time was Ernest Hemingway's first commercial publication. Its appearance in 1925 launched the full-fledged literary career of this century's most famous American fiction writer.

The Tumble of Reason: Alice Munro's Discourse of Absence
ISBN: 9781442613065 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much of the critical writing on the fiction of Alice Munro has explored and emphasized Munro's 'realism'. But her stories frequently turn on what has been left out; they are rife with unsent (unfinished) letters, with things people mean to, but do not, say or tell. Ajay Heble's study focuses on Munro's involvement with a 'discourse of absence' and suggests that our understanding of these texts often depends not only on what happens in the fiction, but also on what might have happened. Munro's stories confer their meaning not simply by referring to an outer reality, but also by...

Difficult Games: A Reading of I Racconti by Italo Calvino
ISBN: 9781554585755 / Angielski / Miękka / 143 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Examining Calvino's literary experiments as a young artist in search of his narrative voice, Ricci explores the psychological and existential motivations intrinsically linked to the writer's need for textual and systemic patterning. I racconti contains some of Calvino's least-read works, yet these early stories address issues, present scenarios and generate a growing variation of themes that form the heart of Calvino's narrative discourse. Ricci points out that melancholy permeates Calvino's works--even at his most playful. He suggests that if Calvino's highest merit was his sense of...

The French philosopher-gourmet Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin wrote all three almost two centuries ago. Like most aphorisms they have the cracked ring of the nearly true. Brillat-Savarin was on surer ground - ground as hard as ungrated Parmesan - when he wrote: The world is nothing without life, and all that lives takes nourishment. So: you are what you eat,...
