The Blue Monk
ISBN: 9780984300969 / Angielski / Twarda / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1983, when I was 18-years old, I encountered a community of eccentric sailors who lived in a secret anchorage on the far side of the spoil islands a quarter-mile from Miami City Hall. What I found there inspired me and challenged me to expand my perspectives. Though the Dinner Key Anchorage was often dismissed as a community of "derelicts, bums, winos and thieves," I found instead a group of articulate, capable, innovative, educated, and highly skilled people who took me in and literally 'taught me the ropes.' Many of them traveled the world, depending on little but good fortune and...

In Quest of the Self: Masquerade and Travel in the Eighteenth-Century Novel. Fielding, Smollett, Sterne
ISBN: 9789042038899 / Angielski / Miękka / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent decades the masquerade has enjoyed a revival in literary and cultural studies. It has been seen as a symptom of the irrational trends permeating the Age of Reason and as a sign of the instability, arbitrariness as well as non-essentiality of personal identity; notions testifying to affinities between the eighteenth century and our own time. In Quest of the Self offers a new consideration not only of the masquerade as such, but also of the ways in which it was transposed into literature during the period. Here it emerges as a dominant trope governing the poetics and the ideological...

Dupaty et l'Italie des voyageurs sensibles
ISBN: 9789042035249 / Francuski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'D'autres rapporteront de Rome des tableaux, des marbres, des medailles, des productions d'histoire naturelle; moi, j'en rapporterai des sentiments, des sensations et des idees'. Le Voyage d'Italie du President Dupaty, qui parut a l'automne 1788, fut le dernier best-seller de l'Ancien Regime. Son succes se trouva inevitablement eclipse assez vite par une actualite politique devenue tres envahissante. L'histoire litteraire a du coup quelque peu oublie que ce texte renouvelait, a la fin d'un siecle qui en avait publie beaucoup, la tradition des Voyage en Italie. Le President De Brosses et ses...

Literature and the Peripheral City
ISBN: 9781137492876 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cities have always been defined by their centrality. But literature demonstrates that their diverse peripheries define them, too: from suburbs to slums, rubbish dumps to nightclubs and entire failed cities. The contributors to this collection explore literary urban peripheries through readings of literature from four continents and numerous cities.
