Education in Human Creative Existential Planning
Education is the transmission of knowledge and skill from one generation to another, and is vitally significant for the growth and unfolding of the living individual. It manifests the quintessential ability of the logos to differentiate life in self-individualization from within, and in its spread through inter-generative networks. The present collection of papers focuses on the underpinnings of the creative workings of the human strategies of reason.
Tolkien Dogmatics
Theology through mythology J. R. R. Tolkien was many things: English Catholic, father and husband, survivor of two world wars, Oxford professor, and author. But he was also a theologian. Tolkien's writings exhibit a coherent theology of God and his works, but Tolkien did not present his views with systematic arguments. Rather, he expressed theology through story. In Tolkien Dogmatics, Austin M. Freeman inspects Tolkien's entire corpus— The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and beyond—as a window into his theology. In his stories, lectures, and letters, Tolkien creatively and carefully engaged with his Christian faith. Tolkien Dogmatics is a comprehensive manual of Tolkien's theological thought arranged in traditional systematic theology categories, with sections on God, revelation, creation, evil, Christ and salvation, the church, and last things. Through Tolkien's imagination, we reencounter our faith.
The Reception of Jonathan Swift in Europe
Jonathan Swift has had a profound impact on almost all the national literatures of Continental Europe. The celebrated author of acknowledged masterpieces like A Tale of a Tub (1704), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729), the Dean of St Patrick's, Dublin, was courted by innumerable translators, adaptors, and retellers, admired and challenged by shoals of critics, and creatively imitated by both novelists and playwrights, not only in Central Europe (Germany and Switzerland) but also in its northern (Denmark and Sweden) and southern (Italy, Spain, and Portugal) outposts, as well as its eastern (Poland and Russia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria) and Western parts - from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the present day.
Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-1959
Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-59 traces J. R. R. Tolkien's critical engagements with Geoffrey Chaucer from his undergraduate Oxford essays in 1913 to remarks in his retirement lecture in 1959. Reprinted with both Tolkien's own annotations and new notes from the authors, this book analyses his major articles such as ^"Chaucer as a Philologist: The Reeve's Tale", as well as his unpublished edition of the Reeve's Tale and his lectures on the Clerk's Tale and the Pardoner's Tale. Though his scholarship was best known for his work on Beowulf, Tolkien was also an expert on Geoffrey Chaucer. He lectured on Chaucer, edited Chaucer, and published essays on Chaucer. Tolkien on Chaucer, 1913-59 reprints man...

Trzy tłumaczki
Bez nich nie byłoby tysięcy arcyważnych książek. Gdyby nie tłumaczki i tłumacze nie znalibyśmy Szekspira, Austen, Homera, Colette, Balzaca, Hrabala, Manna, Link, Plath czy Hemingwaya – żeby wymienić zaledwie garstkę znakomitych zagranicznych pisarzy. Trzy tłumaczki to opowieść o Marii Skibniewskiej, Joannie Guze i Annie Przedpełskiej-Trzeciakowskiej – trzech wielkich i wybitnych polskich tłumaczkach. To także opowieść o ich wybitnych przekładach: Władcy Pierścieni J.R.R. Tolkiena (Skibniewska), Upadku oraz Człowieka zbuntowanego Alberta Camusa (Guze), Wściekłości i wrzasku Williama Faulknera (Przedpełska-Trzeciakowska). Ta książka powstała z kilku powodów: ...
Gust i prestiż. O przemianach polskiego świata fantastyki
Rozprawa Stanisława Krawczyka […] jest niezwykła: precyzyjna w namierzaniu celu i odmierzaniu racji, dojrzała metodologicznie, odkrywcza, przekonująca. A także pod wieloma względami pionierska, jako że nie znajdziemy w polskiej humanistyce tak kompletnej socjologicznej analizy literatury. […] O ile gust inteligencki popychał fantastykę ku sprawom ważnym, o tyle gust popularny przeciąga fantastykę na stronę rozrywki, przyjemności, odpoczynku i kompensacji. Autor stawia więc proste i zarazem bardzo trafne pytanie: skąd wzięło się – wcale nie tak oczywiste – połączenie gustu inteligenckiego z prozą fantastyczną w polskiej kulturze, skoro zasadniczo fantastyka (od ...
Times of Upheaval
The volume unites conversations with four masters of Medieval Studies from east-central Europe: János Bak from Hungary, Jerzy Kłoczowski from Poland, František Šmahel from the Czech Republic, and Herwig Wolfram from Austria. The interviews, made by younger colleagues, reveal engaging life stories, with numerous observations, anecdotes and experiences. The four scholars grew up before and during the war, under Nazi occupation, emerged as young scholars in the difficult post-war period, and, for most of their careers worked in the shadow of the Iron Curtain, two of them spending most of their lifetimes under communist regimes. The conversations focus on ways in which open-minded young inte...
Eyes to Wonder, Tongue to Praise
This book is a collection of articles written for Professor Marta Gibińska by her colleagues and friends, from universities both in Poland and abroad. The texts presented in this volume cover a wide spectrum of topics. Part I, devoted to Shakespeare, comprises wide-ranging work from renowned specialists in the field: studies on historical background, sources, theatrical, screen and literary reception, as well as translation. Part II contains articles which deal with multiple authors, genres and perspectives, but are uniformly passionate and insightful. The title Eyes to Wonder, Tongue to Praise, a poetic phrase borrowed from Shakespeare, conveys what seems to be a defining quality of both the contributors to this volume and its recipient: namely, the ability to translate keen appreciation of literature not into speechless awe but eloquent praise, combined with the generosity to share it with others.
