Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

Cheyenne Indians, Volume 2 University of Nebraska Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The Cheyenne Indians: Their History and Their Ways of Life is a classic ethnography, originally published in 1928, that grew out of George Bird Grinnell's long acquaintance with the Cheyennes. In Volume I he wrote about the tribe's early history and migrations, customs, domestic life, social organization, hunting, amusements, and government. Volume II looks at its warmaking and warrior societies, healing practices and responses to European diseases, religious beliefs and rituals, and legends and prophecies surrounding the culture hero Sweet Medicine. Included are appendixes on early Cheyenne village sites, the formation of the Quilling Society, and notes on Cheyenne songs. George Bird Grinnell was a zoologist by training and an anthropologist by inclination. He accompanied Custer's Black Hills expedition as a naturalist in 1874 and from that time until his death in 1938 was closely associated with the Cheyennes and other Plains tribes. Other books by Grinnell available in Bison Book editions are Blackfoot Lodge Tales, Pawnee Hero Stories and Folk-Tales, By Cheyenne Campfires, and The Punishment of the Stingy and Other Indian Stories. "The value of such a work as Mr.Grinnell has produced can hardly be overstated."--New York Times. "Grinnell was an entertaining and able writer ...in this case he was also a scientific reporter of ways of life that he supposed would soon be forever lost."--Westerners Brand Book. "A marvelous source book for customs, lore, history, personalities, and manner of speech of this tribe."--Roundup. "Drawing upon the thoughts and actions of individual Cheyennes, Grinnell manages to reconstruct a highly readable account of their culture."--Journal of the American Academy of Religion

The Book Of Souls - Iron Maiden (Płyta CD)

Książki & Multimedia > Muzyka

Opis - Szesnasty studyjny album jednej z największych legend heavy metalu, grupy Iron Maiden. Podwójne wydawnictwo będzie nosić tytuł "The Book Of Souls". Jedenaście kompozycji Iron Maiden nagrywali w Guillame Tell Studios w Paryżu. Za konsoletą siedział sprawdzony od lat współpracownik Anglików, Kevin `Caveman` Shirley. Nagrania zakończyły się pod koniec 2014 roku. Szlifów produkcyjnych dokonano już na początku roku 2015, ale premierę postanowiono odroczyć z uwagi na to, że u Bruce`a Dickinsona zdiagnozowano nowotwór języka. Na szczęście walka wokalisty z chorobą, zakończyła się jego sukcesem. Okładka albumu jest dziełem Marka Wilkinsona (m.in. Fish). Piosenki podzielono na dwie płyty i trwają one łącznie aż 92 minuty. To pierwsza podwójna studyjna płyta w historii Iron Maiden. W komponowaniu piosenek brali udział wszyscy muzycy poza perkusistą Nicko McBrainem. Dwa utwory to samodzielne kompozycje Bruce`a Dickinsona. Taka sytuacja poprzednim razem miała miejsce 31 lat temu, na legendarnym albumie `Powerslave`. O procesie powstawania płyty Steve Harris mówił tak: `Tym razem podeszliśmy do tego nieco inaczej. Wiele piosenek zostało napisanych w studiu i od razu graliśmy je na próbach, a zaraz potem rejestrowaliśmy. Mam wrażenie, że ta natychmiastowość naszego działania będzie słyszalna. Numery brzmią tak, jakbyśmy je nagrali podczas koncertu. Wszyscy jesteśmy niezmiernie dumni z płyty

Triumph of the Moon Oxford University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

'a brilliant history' The Sunday Times 'makes for riveting reading' The Independent Modern pagan witchcraft is arguably the only fully-formed religion England has given the world, and has now spread across four continents. This second edition of The Triumph of the Moon extensively revises the first full-scale scholarly study of modern pagan witchcraft. Ronald Hutton examines the nature and development of this religion, and offers a history of attitudes to witchcraft, paganism and magic in British society since 1800. Its pages reveal village cunning folk, Victorian ritual magicians, classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting movements, Freemasons, and members of rural secret societies. We also find some of the leading figures of English literature, from the Romantic poets to W. B. Yeats, D. H. Lawrence and Robert Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented pagan witchcraft to the public world since 1950. Thriller writers like Dennis Wheatley, and films and television programmes, get similar coverage, as does tabloid journalism. The material is by its nature often sensational, and care is taken throughout to distinguish fact from fantasy, in a manner not previously applied to most of the stories involved. Meticulously researched, The Triumph of the Moon presents an authoritative insight into an aspect of modern cultural history which has attracted sensational publicity but has hitherto been little understood. This edition incorporates new research carried out by the author as well as research by others who have been inspired by this book over the twenty years since its first publication.

ESTONIA AND POLAND: CREATIVITY AND TRADITION CULTURAL COMMUNICATION Tertium

KsiążkiGłównaKsiążki/Językoznawstwo i translatologiaKsiążki/Książki angielskojęzyczne

Volume 1: Jokes and their relations This book deals with the creativity and tradition of cultural phenomena in the rapidly transforming post-socialist societies. Parallel research articles by Estonian and Polish authors set out to analyse media texts and other contemporary (folkloric) narratives in order to pin down the influence of political and economic changes on culture. Research material for Volume 1: Jokes and their relations includes primarily humour, but also proverbs and online aggressiveness. The results throw light on the similarities and differences in the ways cultural narratives have changed in the past decades and identity issues in the former Eastern Bloc are reflected in everyday texts, either online, on television, or in face-to-face communication. The analysis of culturally significant texts also helps to redefine the borders and influences of the local and the global in creativity and tradition. Contents vol. 1 : A. Krikmann "Estonian three nation jokes (1964-2012)" D. Brzozowska "Three characters in Polish jokes" L. Laineste "Women in Estonian jokes" D. Brzozowska "Family in Polish jokes" L. Laineste "Stand-up in Estonia: From Soviet estrada to Comedy Estonia" W. Chlopicki "Stand-up tragedy in Poland?" M. Rebane "Some aspects of telling political jokes in Soviet Estonia" M. Poprawa "Polish political humour. An outline of the phenomenon" M. Lőhmus "Political correctness and political humourin Soviet Estonia and beyond" G. Strzadala "Censorship in the People's Republic of Poland" A. Baran "Visual humour on the Internet" T. Piekot Pictorial "representation of idioms in Internet humour" L. Laineste "Verbal expressions of aggressiveness on the Estonian Internet" A. Tereszkiewicz "Do Poles flame? Aggressiveness on Polish discussion groups and social networking sites" P. Voolaid "In graffiti veritas: A paremic glance at graffiti in Tartu" G. Szpila "Regulating the reality? Proverbs in Polish graffiti" Volume 2: Perspectives on national and regional identity The focus of the book is on the role of creativity and tradition in contemporary Eastern Europe, with Estonia and Poland as cases in point. The volume of articles addresses diverse narratives in the Eastern European cultural space as they occur in various types of media. Parallel research articles by scholars from a wide range of fields seek to provide a novel perspective on the ongoing discussions of identity in these rapidly changing societies. Research material for Volume 2: "Perspectives on national and regional identity" is drawn from a variety of sources, both contemporary, e.g. advertisement campaigns, urban legends, cookbooks, etc, and archival, especially folkloric. The analysis of culturally significant narratives helps to specify their role in the construction of collective identity. The results of the studies demonstrate that both national and regional identities are at least partly determined by concepts and stories shared by the people, but at the same time they are the products of external variables, such as public policies or globalisation. Contents vol. 2 : A. Lubecka National identities on display. The role of advertisements in the management of Polish national identity E. Kalmre "Rumours and contemporary legends as part of identity creation process" M. Wójcicka "Urban legends in Poland" M. Kőiva "Calendar feasts: Politics of adoption and reinstatement" A.
