Powieść Dystopia

Książka w języku angielskim. In this darkly comic novel, a group of women inhabits a world of constant surveillance, where informants lurk in the flower beds and false reports fly. Conspiracies abound in a community that normalizes paranoia and suspicion. Some try to flee-whether to a mysterious gambling bordello or to ancestral homes that can be reached only underground through muddy caves, sewers, and tunnels. Others seek out the refuge of Nest County, where traditional Chinese herbal medicines can reshape or psychologically transport the self. Each life is circumscribed by buried secrets and transcendent delusions. Can Xue’s masterful love stories for the new millennium trace love’s many guises-satirical, tragic, transient, lasting, nebulous, and fulfilling-against a kaleidoscopic backdrop of commerce and industry, fraud and exploitation, and sex and romance drawn from the East and the West.

Marx, Karl(1818-1883) Marksizm Polityka

Indeks.

Książka w języku angielskim. Eagleton broni autora Kapitału jak na ortodoksyjnego marksistę przystało. Nie opuszcza go przy tym duch dobrej zabawy, zgryźliwy humor i wrażliwość na społeczny konkret – znaki rozpoznawcze brytyjskiej kultury robotniczej, której Eagleton jest jednym z ostatnich intelektualnych przedstawicieli. Eagleton odpowiada w książce na dziesięć typowych zarzutów krytyków marksizmu, dostarczając przy okazji jasnego wprowadzenia do myśli autora "Kapitału".

Bibliografia na stronach [387]-406. Indeks.

Książka w języku angielskim. Autor przeprowadził staranne badania, docierając do nieznanych wcześniej materiałów źródłowych. Na tej podstawie kreśli niezwykle interesujący obraz daleki od dotychczasowej wiedzy potocznej. Pokazuje, jak astrologia, kulty pogańskie, czarnoksięstwo, mity aryjskie czy przekazy o zaginionych królestwach i cudownych broniach były badane i wplątywane niejako w oficjalne życie państwowe III Rzeszy. I dzieje się to wszystko wobec oficjalnego potępienia praktyk ezoterycznych i „ludowego” okultyzmu z jednej strony, a z astrologami na etatach fabryk broni z drugiej.

Bibliografia na stronach 470-507. Indeks.

Książka w języku angielskim. The first truly global history of work, an upbeat assessment from the age of the hunter-gatherer to the present day. We work because we have to, but also because we like it: from hunting-gathering over 700,000 years ago to the present era of zoom meetings, humans have always worked to make the world around them serve their needs. Jan Lucassen provides an inclusive history of humanity’s busy labor throughout the ages. Spanning China, India, Africa, the Americas, and Europe, Lucassen looks at the ways in which humanity organizes work: in the household, the tribe, the city, and the state. He examines how labor is split between men, women, and children; the watershed moment of the invention of money; the collective action of workers; and at the impact of migration, slavery, and the idea of leisure.

Kultura i sztuka Historia

Książka w języku angielskim. Across seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song. As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen. In Folk Music, Greil Marcus tells Dylan's story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus's point of departure is Dylan's ability to "see myself in others". Like Dylan's songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan's continuing presence and relevance through his empathy, his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.

Powieść

Książka w języku angielskim. A devastating story of the struggle of civilians caught up in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. If every war needs its master chronicler, Ukraine has Serhiy Zhadan, one of Europe’s most promising novelists. Recalling the brutal landscape of The Road and the wartime storytelling of A Farewell to Arms, The Orphanage is a searing novel that excavates the human collateral damage wrought by the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. When hostile soldiers invade a neighboring city, Pasha, a thirty-five-year-old Ukrainian language teacher, sets out for the orphanage where his nephew Sasha lives, now in occupied territory. Venturing into combat zones, traversing shifting borders, and forging uneasy alliances along the way, Pasha realizes where his true loyalties lie in an increasingly desperate fight to rescue Sasha and bring him home.

Książka w języku angielskim. A major study of the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1945 the Soviet Union controlled half of Europe and was a founding member of the United Nations. By 1991, it had an army four million strong with five thousand nuclear-tipped missiles and was the second biggest producer of oil in the world. But soon afterward the union sank into an economic crisis and was torn apart by nationalist separatism. Its collapse was one of the seismic shifts of the twentieth century.

Książka w języku angielskim. From Ukraine's leading writer-activist comes an intimate account of resistance and survival in the earliest months of the Russian-Ukrainian war. In this powerful record of the war's harrowing first four months, Zhadan works day and night in Kharkiv to evacuate children and the elderly from suburbs that have come under fire. He sends lists of life-saving medications to the West in the hopes of procuring them for civilians, coordinates food deliveries, collects money for military equipment, and organizes concerts. He shares photographs of the open sky - grateful for every pause in the shelling - and captures images of beloved institutions reduced to rubble. An intimate work of witness literature, this book is at once the testimony of one man entering a new reality and the story of a society fighting for the right to exist.
