Writing the Self, Writing the Nation - Romantic Selfhood in the Works of Germaine de Stael and Claire de Duras Allan Sta...

The French Revolution represents a pivotal moment within the history of personhood in France, where gender and national differences provided the foundations of society. As such, these constructs feature as ideological battlegrounds in the search for identity and self-expression within the Romantic literature published between the revolutions of 1789 and 1830. This book considers Germaine de Sta l's and Claire de Duras's depictions of men's and women's shared and diverging lived experiences to offer an innovative transnational perspective on the usually male-focused mal du si cle. Its methodology combines feminist revisions of the novel, situated reading practices, and life writing research with an intersectional approach to gender and nationhood. This framework presents a dialectical relationship between sameness and difference on formal and thematic levels that challenges the

The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft - H. P. Lovecraft

O knihe v slovenčine:V roku 2014 bol vydaný The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft s veľkým ohlasom - bol ospevovaný ako „pokladnica“ (Joyce Carol Oates) pre fanúšikov Lovecrafta a všeobecných čitateľov. Harlan Ellison ho označil za „olympijský orientačný bod modernej gotickej literatúry“. Zbierka zahŕňala dvadsaťdva Lovecraftových pôvodných príbehov.Teraz, v tejto poslednej knihe, opäť oživuje bestseller autor Leslie S. Klinger 25 ďalších príbehov, zvyšok Lovecraftovej významnej fikcie, vrátane „Myší v stene“, príbehu z obdobia po prvej svetovej vojne o hrozbách z minulosti, a novo kontextualizovaného „Hororu v Red Hooku“, ktorý bol nedávno adaptovaný najpredávanejším spisovateľom Victorom LaValleom. V súvislosti s vlastnou literárnou trajektóriou Lovecrafta môžu čitatelia sledovať jeho prerod z kritika z Rhode Islandu na prezieravého literárneho génia, ktorého titanský vplyv sa ocenil až desaťročia po jeho smrti. Vďaka stovkám pútavých anotácií a desiatkam vzácnych obrázkov konečne Beyond Arkham poskytuje úplný obraz Lovecraftových bezprecedentných úspechov vo fikcii. 200 ilustrácií  O knihe v angličtine:In 2014, The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft was published to widespread acclaim - vaunted as a “treasure trove” (Joyce Carol Oates) for Lovecraft aficionados and general readers, alike. Hailed by Harlan Ellison as an “Olympian landmark of modern gothic literature,” the volume included twenty-two of Lovecraft’s original stories.Now, in this final volume, best- selling author Leslie S. Klinger reanimates twenty-five additional stories, the balance of Lovecraft’s significant fiction, including “Rats in the Wall,” a post– World War I story about the terrors of the past, and the newly contextualized “The Horror at Red Hook,” which recently has been adapted by best- selling novelist Victor LaValle. In following Lovecraft’s own literary trajectory, readers can witness his evolution from Rhode Island critic to prescient literary genius whose titanic influence would only be appreciated decades after his death. Including hundreds of eye- opening annotations and dozens of rare images, Beyond Arkham finally provides the complete picture of Lovecraft’s unparalleled achievements in fiction. 200 illustrations

Pražský hrad na cestě ke komunistické utopii 1948–1968

Pražský hrad je tradičním sídlem státní moci a jeho silná pozice symbolu české, respektive československé státnosti byla rozvinuta prvním československým prezidentem T. G. Masarykem, který z něj učinil svou rezidenci a prostor reprezentace mladého demokratického státu. Publikace se zaměřuje na proměnu Pražského hradu v časovém rozmezí let 1948 až 1968 v souvislosti s tím, jak se měnil úhel pohledu na funkce, které by mělo tradiční sídlo státní moci plnit. Na jejich definování se významně podíleli prezident a jeho kancelář, v průběhu sledovaného období se do tohoto procesu zapojili rovněž ideologové KSČ a představitelé československého výtvarného umění, architektury a vědy. Práce se soustředí na krátkodobé i trvalé architektonické úpravy hradního areálu zaměřené na širokou veřejnost a na vývoj zdejšího výstavního programu. Sleduje rovněž institucionální pozadí této proměny.

Churchill - Andrew Roberts

A magnificently fresh and unexpected biography of Churchill, by one of Britain's most acclaimed historiansWinston Churchill towers over every other figure in twentieth-century British history. By the time of his death at the age of 90 in 1965, many thought him to be the greatest man in the world.There have been over a thousand previous biographies of Churchill. Andrew Roberts now draws on over forty new sources, including the private diaries of King George VI, used in no previous Churchill biography to depict him more intimately and persuasively than any of its predecessors. The book in no way conceals Churchill's faults and it allows the reader to appreciate his virtues and character in full: his titanic capacity for work (and drink), his ability see the big picture, his willingness to take risks and insistence on being where the action was, his good humour even in the most desperate circumstances, the breadth and strength of his friendships and his extraordinary propensity to burst into tears at unexpected moments. Above all, it shows us the wellsprings of his personality - his lifelong desire to please his father (even long after his father's death) but aristocratic disdain for the opinions of almost everyone else, his love of the British Empire, his sense of history and its connection to the present.During the Second World War, Churchill summoned a particular scientist to see him several times for technical advice. 'It was the same whenever we met', wrote the young man, 'I had a feeling of being recharged by a source of living power.' Harry Hopkins, President Roosevelt's emissary, wrote 'Wherever he was, there was a battlefront.' Field Marshal Sir Alan Brooke, Churchill's essential partner in strategy and most severe critic in private, wrote in his diary, 'I thank God I was given such an opportunity of working alongside such a man, and of having my eyes opened to the fact that occasionally such supermen exist on this earth.'

The Responsible Globalist - Hassan Damluji

An incisive, optimistic manifesto for a more inclusive globalismToday, globalism has a bad reputation. 'Citizens of the world' are depicted as recklessly uninterested in how international economic networks can affect local communities. Meanwhile, nationalists are often derided as racists and bigots. But what if the two were not so far apart? What could globalists learn from the powerful sense of belonging that nationalism has created? Faced with the injustices of the world's economic and political system, what should a responsible globalist do?British-Iraqi development expert Hassan Damluji proposes six principles - from changing how we think about mobility to shutting down tax havens - which can help build consensus for a stronger globalist identity. He demonstrates that globalism is not limited to 'Davos man' but is a truly mass phenomenon that is growing fastest in emerging countries. Rather than a 'nowhere' identity, it is a new group solidarity that sits alongside other allegiances.With a wealth of examples from the United States to India, China and the Middle East, The Responsible Globalist offers a boldly optimistic and pragmatic blueprint for building an inclusive, global nation. This will be a century-long project, where success is not guaranteed. But unless we can reimagine humanity as a single national community, Damluji warns, the gravest threats we face will not be defeated.

Together they illuminate a long literary tradition, with intense poetic experience at its heart.Translated and edited with an introduction by Meredith McKinney

With the aid of scale diagrams, the reader can get a real sense of the sizes, shapes, distances, and surface features of many of the stars visible to the naked eye in both the Nothern and Southern Hemispheres.

Special mention is made of Barnard's, Kapteyn's, Kepler's, and Van Maanen's Stars and the properties of many open clusters are given. With its emphasis on helping the amateur astronomer gain a better understanding of what they are looking at. The Star Atlas Companion will provide a new dimension to observing the star and is an invaluable supplement to any star atlas.§
