Part Blood, Part Ketchup: Coming of Age in American Literature and Film
ISBN: 9780739114360 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Part Blood, Part Ketchup analyzes novels by 20th century authors Edith Wharton, J.D. Salinger, Philip Roth, John Irving, and Jamaica Kincaid, uncovering trends that obliterate cultural divides. With unrestrained American voices, the collective pitch of their complaints soars, revealing an unmistakable formula of heightened self-exposure and fury. As in the case of protagonists on the page and the screen, it becomes difficult to distinguish authentic suffering from performance or in the words of one reviewer the ratio of blood to ketchup. Breathtaking in scope, Part Blood, Part Ketchup...

Stanley Cavell's American Dream: Shakespeare, Philosophy, and Hollywood Movies
ISBN: 9780823225965 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores Cavell's writings along converging lines of thought rather than in isolated categories. The author claims that, after Cavell's celebrated reading of King Lear turned into a nightmarish meditation on Vietnam, he found a more audible voice. Noting that Cavell's keen ear for the expressive power of ordinary language makes him both a first-rate literary artist and a compelling philosopher of the everyday, he catches what holds Cavell's manifold interests together. Here the poetry of ideas and presence of mind that animate Cavell's writing receive readings attuned to the spirit...
