Prace Herkulesa - człowiek wobec wyzwań, prób i przeciwności
Herkules może być uważany za symbol człowieka zmagającego się z trudnościami i przeszkodami, których pokonanie wymaga od niego siły, sprytu, determinacji i odporności. Zmaganie się z różnego rodzaju przeciwnościami (zewnętrznymi i wewnętrznymi) literatura i sztuka uczyniła jednym z najważniejszych tematów, licznie obecnych w kulturze na przestrzeni dziejów. Książka Prace Herkulesa – człowiek wobec wyzwań, prób i przeciwności stanowi próbę zmierzenia się zarówno z mitem Herkulesa i jego obecnością, jak i z zagadnieniem heroizmu - wysiłków człowieka uwieńczonych sukcesem. W skład niniejszego tomu wchodzi kilkadziesiąt rozpraw zamówionych oraz stanowiąc...
Forms of Attention
Sir Frank Kermode, the British scholar, instructor, and author, was an inspired critic. Forms of Attention is based on a series of three lectures he gave on canon formation, or how we choose what art to value. The essay on Botticelli traces the artist’s sudden popularity in the nineteenth century for reasons that have more to do with poetry than painting. In the second essay, Kermode reads Hamlet from a very modern angle, offering a useful (and playful) perspective for a contemporary audience. The final essay is a defense of literary criticism as a process and conversation that, while often conflating knowledge with opinion, keeps us reading great art and working with—and for—literature.
Nation and History
The important scholarly achievements of Polish historians remain largely unknown outside Poland. In Nation and History, editors Peter Brock, John Stanley, and Piotr J. Wróbel have brought together twenty-four essays on Polish historians from the Enlightenment to the Second World War, an era of unparalleled changes in every aspect of Polish life. From the late eighteenth century until 1918, the Polish state was partitioned between its three neighbours: Russia, Prussia (Germany), and Austria. Polish historiography throughout this period tended to focus on the reasons behind the old Polish state's decline and fall. This shaped Polish historians' vision of their country's past and created the burden of not only having to discuss the state, but the issue of 'nation' - its essence, its shape, and its failure. The contributors to this volume - from Poland and abroad - closely examine the role played by historians in both the documenting and shaping of Poland's history. While featuring different approaches, Nation and History serves as the most comprehensive work on Polish historiography written in English.
Russia under Western Eyes
A dazzling work of intellectual history by a world-renowned scholar, spanning the years from Peter the Great to the fall of the Soviet Union, this book gives us a clear and sweeping view of Russia not as an eternal barbarian menace but as an outermost, if laggard, member in the continuum of European nations.
