Mad in Translation
ISBN: 9780974261874 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 740 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is the first book to translate a broad spectrum of the informal, improper and generally comic side of 31-syllable Japanese poetry called 'kyoka, ' or 'kyouka, ' literally, "mad-poems" or "madcap verse," representing in the words of Aston (1899), "absolute freedom both in respect of language and choice of subject." Literary anthologies have only translated a handful of kyoka to date, and the sole exception, recent catalogues of the color prints called 'surimono, ' stick to the rather tame kyoka of the early 19c that accompany the prints. The 2000 poems in Robin D. Gill's 740-page book...

The Fifth Season -- Poems to Re-Create the World
ISBN: 9780974261898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book, the first of a series, Robin D. Gill, author of the highly acclaimed Rise, Ye Sea Slugs and Cherry Blossom Epiphany, the largest single-theme anthologies of poetry ever published, explores the traditional Japanese New Year through 2,000 translated haiku (mostly 17-20c). "The New Year," R.H. Blyth once wrote, "is a season by itself." That was nowhere so plain as in the world of haiku, where saijiki, large collections called of ku illustrating hundreds, if not thousands of briefly explained seasonal themes, generally comprised five volumes, one for each season. Yet, the great...

The Woman Without a Hole - & Other Risky Themes from Old Japanese Poems
ISBN: 9780974261881 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 17-syllabet Japanese poems about human foibles, sans season (i.e., not haiku), were introduced a half-century ago by RH Blyth in two books, "Edo Satirical Verse Anthologies" and "Japanese Life and Character in Senryu." Blyth regretted having to introduce not the best senryu, but only the best that were clean enough to pass the censors. In this anthology, compiled, translated and essayed by Robin D. Gill, like Blyth, a renowned translator of thousands of haiku, we find 1,300 of the senryu (and zappai) that would once have been dangerous to publish. The book is not just an anthology of dirty...

Topsy-turvy 1585 - THE SHORT VERSION
ISBN: 9780974261836 / Angielski / Inna / 2005 / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At 460 pages, this is the short version of Topsy-turvy 1585, a critical yet entertaining essay of the 611 ways Europeans and Japanese were considered contrary to one another, according to Luis Frois S.J. (1532-1597), a prolific letter writer who sent more information about Japan to Europe than anyone before or since. The book includes a full English translation of his treatise (Tratado em que se contem . . .), of the 611 topsy-turvy items, each only two-lines long (a distich)in the original, and hundreds of additional topsy-turvy items in the Foreword on the history of Topsy-turvy and within...

A Dolphin in the Woods Composite Translation, Paraversing & Distilling Prose
ISBN: 9780984092314 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Robin D. Gill, author of seven books in Japanese, is best known in the English-speaking world for thematic books of translated Japanese poetry. From Rise, Ye Sea Slugs (haiku) to The Woman Without a Hole (senryu) and, most recently, Mad In Translation (kyoka), he developed multiple readings to prevent or compensate for loss of wit and style in translation between exotic tongues. Readings varying far enough from the original to become separate poems came to be called "paraverses." Readings combined into a single cluster to English Japanese poems of Joycean density untranslatable as single...

Churchgoing and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521570589 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Robin Gill argues that moral communities should take center stage in ethics. This book examines recent evidence about church communities in relation to faith, moral order and love, and shows that churchgoers are distinctive in their attitudes, beliefs and behavior. Some attitudes change over time, and there are several moral disagreements among different groups of churchgoers. Moreover, their values and behavior are shared by many nonchurchgoers also. The distinctiveness of church communities in the modern world is thus real but relative, and is crucial for the task of Christian ethics.

Priorities and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521623513 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Christians have agreed, as have others, that preference should go to some extent to one's nearest, and also to some extent to the neediest. However, to what extent should we give preference to which group? And suppose these two preferences come into conflict, as they frequently do? This book provides the fullest contemporary treatment of these issues. The author brings to bear all the resources of theological and philosophical reflection on a single representative case, and from the single example, sheds light on a wide range of comparable cases, both private and public.

Moral Action and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521657105 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How do we decide whether an action is right or wrong? Recently, moral philosophers have moved away from the claim that we can find one definite solution to every moral problem by means of clearly established moral rules. While sympathetic to their critiques of modern moral theories, Porter questions whether these critiques go far enough in offering a positive alternative to a modern view of the moral act. Instead, she returns to Aquinas, and seeks to reclaim his understanding of the moral act as a product of interdependent moral virtues.

Responsibility and Christian Ethics
ISBN: 9780521657099 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The purpose of this book is to formulate a way of thinking about issues of power, moral identity, and ethical norms by developing a theory of responsibility from a specifically theological viewpoint; the author thereby makes clear the significance for Christian commitment of current reflection on moral responsibility. The concept of responsibility is relatively new in ethics, but the drastic extension of human power through various technological developments has lately thrown into question the way human beings conceive of themselves as morally accountable agents. It is this radical extension...
