In Search of Singularity
In Search of Singularity introduces a new “compairative” methodology that seeks to understand how the interplay of paired texts creates meaning in new, transcultural contexts. Bringing the worlds of contemporary Polish and Chinese poetry since 1989 into conversation with one another, Joanna Krenz applies the concept of singularity to draw out resonances and intersections between these two discourses and shows how they have responded to intertwined historical and political trajectories and a new reality beyond the human. Drawing on developments such as AI poetry and ecopoetry, Krenz makes the case for a fresh approach to comparative poetry studies that takes into account new forms of poetic expression and probes into alternative grammars of understanding.
Węgry. W objęciach Dunaju
Co wspólnego ma średniowieczna mniszka z mostem na Dunaju? Dlaczego w Budapeszcie dzielnice noszą imiona konkretnych ludzi? Czemu Freddy Mercury śpiewał węgierską piosenkę ludową? Podobno Węgrzy wymyślili prawie wszystko, bez czego trudno żyć: długopis, Excela i kolorowy telewizor. Bez nich nie ułożylibyśmy kostki Rubika, nie zjedlibyśmy marcepanowej świnki i nie wypilibyśmy włoskiego espresso. Węgierska egzystencja opiera się na animuszu i namiętności. Nie trzeba szukać daleko, wystarczy spojrzeć na barwną i burzliwą historię kraju, którego mieszkańcy żyją w ciągłym rozdarciu pomiędzy tęsknotą za wielkim światem a miłością do prowincji i tradycji. ...

Jelen jubileumi kiadványunk tájékoztatást ad a Balassi Intézet hungarológiai és magyar nyelvi oktatási tevékenységéről. A magyarságtudománynak évszázados a hagyománya, nagy nevek, nagy tudományos ambíciók és a magyar humántudományok széles körű mozgósítása kapcsolódik műveléséhez. Elég csak olyan meghatározó egyéniségekre, mint Gragger Róbert vagy Klaniczay Tibor gondolnunk, vagy felidéznünk az utóbbi harminc év hungarológiai kongresszusainak népes seregszemléit Rómától Jyväskyläig és Debrecentől Kolozsvárig. A Balassi Intézet (elődintézményei örökségére is építve) ennek a magyar tudományosság széles köreit megérintő mozgalomnak több mint hatvan éve megkerülhetetlen szereplője. Ez kötelez minket arra, hogy a magyar kultúra és a magyar tudományosság az idők gyorsaságához mért szinte állandó külföldi újrapozícionálását a magyarságtudomány szemszögéből is értékeljük és a gyakorlati cselekvés területén megtegyük azt, amit megtehetünk.

The Bookshop Book
Every bookshop has a story We're not talking about rooms that are just full of books. We're talking about bookshops in barns, disused factories, converted churches and underground car parks. Bookshops on boats, on buses, and in old run-down train stations. Fold-out bookshops, undercover bookshops, this-is-the-best-place-I've-ever-been-to-bookshops. Meet Sarah and her Book Barge sailing across the sea to France; meet Sebastien, in Mongolia, who sells books to herders of the Altai mountains; meet the bookshop in Canada that's invented the world's first antiquarian book vending machine. And that's just the beginning. From the oldest bookshop in the world, to the smallest you could imagine, The ...

Across the Empty Quarter
Restless, gripped by an overwhelming wish to make a name for himself in a world ever more hemmed in by progress and 'civilization', Thesiger (1910-2003) embarked on his amazing journeys across Saudi Arabia's Empty Quarter to test himself and to show what could still be done. The result was a monument both to his resilience and to the Bedu who guided him and who emerge as the book's real heroes. Great Journeys allows readers to travel both around the planet and back through the centuries - but also back into ideas and worlds frightening, ruthless and cruel in different ways from our own. Few reading experiences can begin to match that of engaging with writers who saw astounding things- Great civilisations, walls of ice, violent and implacable jungles, deserts and mountains, multitudes of birds and flowers new to science. Reading these books is to see the world afresh, to rediscover a time when many cultures were quite strange to each other, where legends and stories were treated as facts and in which so much was still to be discovered.
Skye
Features tales of monsters who dwell in lakes, of small people who trap humans in earthen mounds where time stands still; of dark, shape- shifting spirits whose cloak of human form is betrayed by the sand and shells which fall from their hair. This work takes us far beyond Christian times to the edge of the Iron Age.
Escape from the Antarctic
Inspired by Penguin's innovative Great Ideas series, our new Great Journeys series presents the most incredible tours, voyages, treks, expeditions, and travels ever written- from Isabella Bird's exaltation in the dangers of grizzlies, rattlesnakes, and cowboys in the Rocky Mountains to Marco Polo's mystified reports of a giant bird that eats elephants during his voyage along the coasts of India. Each beautifully packaged volume offers a way to see the world anew, to rediscover great civilizations and legends, vast deserts and unspoiled mountain ranges, unusual flora and strange new creatures, and much more.
The Sinistra Zone
Lyrical, surreal, and yet unsettlingly realistic, The Sinistra Zone swims in the totalitarian backwaters of Eastern Europe Entering a weird, remote hamlet, Andrei calls himself “a simple wayfarer,” but he is in fact highly compromised: he has no identity papers. Taken under the wing of the military zone’s commander, Andrei is first assigned to guard the blueberries that supply a nearby bear reserve. He is surrounded by human wrecks, supernatural umbrellas, birds carrying plagues, albino twins. The bears — and an affair with a married woman — occupy Andrei until his protector is replaced by a new female commander, “a slender creature, quiet,diaphanous, like a dragonfly,” and yet an iron-fisted harridan. As things grow ever more alarming, Andrei becomes a “corpse watchman,” standing guard over the dead to check for any signs of life, and then …
