Before and After the Fall
ISBN: 9781929918461 / Angielski / Miękka / 123 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These poems, written between 1985 and 1994, record what Sandor Csoori has called "the chronic memory of violence," namely the horrors of World War II and the repressions of the ensuing forty-five year Communist occupation. Several of the poems written after 1989, the year Communism collapsed in Hungary, cast a cold eye on the state of Hungary as a free nation. Sandor Csoori, one of Hungary's most prominent and outspoken poets, is the author of sixteen books of poetry, six books of essays, two novels, and several film scripts.

Physis
ISBN: 9781932559477 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For over twenty-five years, NICOLAS PESQUES has been writing an homage to Juliau, the mountain he sees out his window. In PHYSIS, the fifth book of the series, he weaves philosophical reflection in and out of an encounter with the body of the mountain, the body of language, and the human body that bridges the two. Employing an exquisitely spare, precise phrasing, PHYSIS underscores the distance on which all landscape is based, searching out the ways in which humans work to make a home on earth. ABOUT THE AUTHOR NICOLAS PESQUES was born in France in 1946, and has been publishing poetry since...

Between Winter and Winter
ISBN: 9789979547082 / Angielski / Miękka / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume of poems was published first in German by Rowohlt and has now been translated into three other languages and illustrated beautifully by the artist and poet Christoph Meckel.

The illustrations for the cover and each of the five cycles in the book increase the book's aesthetic value. This volume is a part of new series from The Vigdis Finnbogadottir Institute dedicated to...

Petrarch and the Textual Origins of Interpretation
ISBN: 9789004163225 / Angielski / Twarda / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume addresses one of the most far-reaching aspects of Petrarch research and interpretation: the essential interplay between Petrarch's texts and their material preparation and reception. The essays look at various facets of the interaction between Petrarchan philology and hermeneutics, working from the premise that in Petrarch's work philological issues are so authorially driven that we cannot in fact read or interpret him without understanding the relevant philological issues and reapplying them in our critical approach to his works. To read and interpret Petrarch we must come to...
