Beyond Bullfights and Ice Hockey: Essays on Language, Identity and Writing Culture
ISBN: 9780996051132 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For those who believe the book is obsolete and has been overtaken by other cultural platforms and technologies in our increasingly fast-moving times, I remind myself that the book is a marker of sanity for the human spirit. It will always be a measure of how far we humans have fallen off our cultural and spiritual balance. The book is an intimate match to the rhythm of our consciousness, our state of being present in the world, our hunger to see and be seen, to hear and be heard.

Quest for Kim
ISBN: 9780719564529 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is for all those who love "Kim," that masterpiece of Indian life in which Kipling immortalized the Great Game. Fascinated since childhood by this strange tale of an orphan boy's recruitment into the Indian secret service, Peter Hopkirk here retraces Kim's footsteps across Kipling's India to see how much of it remains. To attempt this with a fictional hero would normally be pointless. But Kim is different. For much of this Great Game classic was inspired by actual people and places, thus blurring the line between the real and the imaginary. Less a travel book than a literary...

George Estrada's first book, "I Have Tasted the Sweet Mangoes of Cebu," broke the mold of Asian American literature.

Here you will hear the pounding rains of Quezon City, feel the mass exultation of a U.S. citizenship ceremony, ponder the beauty of fake Rolex watches, listen to Tom Cruise speaking in Russian, and meet a Filipino NFL quarterback....

ISBN: 9780060822569 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Masonic Myth by Jay Kinney is an accessible and fascinating history of the Freemasons that sheds new light on this secret fraternity. A nonfiction look at the mysterious and wrongly maligned ancient society that plays a major role in The Lost Symbol, the new novel by Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), Kinney's The Masonic Myth debunks the myths as it reveals the truth about the Freemasons, their history, and their secret symbols and rituals--a truth that is far more fascinating than all the conspiracy theories combined.

Trends in Contemporary Assamese Theatre
ISBN: 9781482846553 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is the very nature of representation to be theatrical and self-referential. This book undercuts the fact that all representational knowledge is autonomous and sovereign. At times, theatrical representations can misguide and mislead. Representation can also ineluctably project one's own preferences and preoccupations. Thus, representation and subjective interpretation divulge into myriad domains. This book is concerned with the effects and consequences of representation and its "politics." This book examines not only how language as well as representation produce meaning, but also how...

Are We So Different?: The Hierarchy of Races, Socrates' Lie
ISBN: 9781412087063 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When looking at two horses (one black and the other white), we instinctively admire their elegance and their energy without any consideration for their colour. On the other hand, when looking at two men (one black and the other white), everything seems suddenly so different. Colour becomes the main criterion that will define and even classify them. Paradoxically, the pigment that gives the skin its dark colour (the criterion used to assign a negative value to human beings) plays an indispensable physiological role and generates huge profits for pharmaceutical corporations.
