Together Yet Apart. Polish-Belarusian Relations 1900-2010 - Wojciech Śleszyński
Książki & Multimedia > Książki
Opis - In the literature, the problem of the eastern frontier (including Polish-Belarusian relations) has been usually pushed into the background of the European experience. The memory of multi-ethnic, colourful part of Europe has faded, covered by the changes that the Second World War and communism produced, and was considered a minor issue. Nowadays, we can also see a new political order emerging in East-Central Europe (...) Processes that are apparent in this part of Europe are multi-dimensional and cannot be easily judged politically. The author tries to answer the question of how mutual Polish-Belarusian relations in the twentieth century influence contemporary political choices of both nations as well as how they perceive a contemporary political reality.

Letters to His Wife Polity Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
'There is something absolute about the letters between you & me; ...The letter is a form of communion of the soul-spirit - ...one that is faded & yet unimpeded, complete', wrote Martin Heidegger to his fiancee Elfride Petri shortly before their wedding. In the course of a marriage that lasted almost sixty years Martin and Elfride were often apart, and the letter thus remained a vital means of communication right through to the final years. The letters he sent her are snapshots of the ups and downs, the crises and everyday minutiae from Heidegger's life: their engagement, the building of the Cabin at Todtnauberg, the part he played in the two world wars, the difficulties of his early professional career, their financial problems, his dealings with women, and his constant concern with expounding his ideas. Apart from three letters now in the hands of the German Literature Archive in Marbach, Elfride Heidegger kept all of the countless letters and cards from her husband locked away in a wooden chest. After reading them one final time, in 1977 she gave the key to this chest to her granddaughter Gertrud Heidegger on condition that she should not open it until after Elfride's death.After years spent deciphering, transcribing and ordering the letters with the help of her father and her uncle, Gertrud Heidegger has here made a selection of them available to the public and added a commentary that provides relevant background material. This selection from the many letters written by Martin Heidegger to his wife provides an invaluable insight into their life together, their friendships and relationships, and sheds fresh light on the ideas and beliefs of one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers.

Bettencourt Affair Penguin Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
An NPR Best Book of 2017At the time of her death at age ninety-four, in September 2017, Liliane Bettencourt, heiress to the L'Oréal fortune, was the world's richest woman and the fourteenth wealthiest person. But her gilded life took a dark yet fascinating turn in the past decade, when she became embroiled in a scandal that dominated the headlines in France.The Bettencourt Affair, as it came to be called, started as a family drama but quickly became a massive scandal, uncovering L'Oréal's shadowy corporate history and buried World War II secrets. It all began when Liliane met François-Marie Banier, an artist and photographer who was, in his youth, the toast of Paris and a protégé of Salvador Dalí. Over the next two decades, Banier was given hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts, cash, and insurance policies by Liliane. What, exactly, was their relationship? It wasn't clear, least of all to Liliane's daughter and only child, Françoise, who became suspicious of Banier's motives and filed a lawsuit against him. But Banier has a far different story to tell. . . .The Bettencourt Affair is part courtroom drama; part upstairs-downstairs tale; and part character-driven story of a complex, fascinating family and the intruder who nearly tore it apart.

Lorenzo de' Medici Pennsylvania State University Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
This is the first book-length collection in English of the literary works of Lorenzo de' Medici, the major poetic voice of the Florentine Renaissance.Lorenzo de'Medici (1449-92) was the ruler of Florence and the principal statesman of his time. A contemporary of Columbus, Lorenzo is hardly known in the English-speaking world as a major Quattrocento writer, author of a large and varied body of poetry as well as an important literary treatise. His poetry and patronage were instrumental in renewing the vernacular literature of his age after a period of stagnation.That Lorenzo's literary writings were for the most part never translated is a fascinating curiosity of history, attributable to the irrelevant, bawdy subject matter of many of his poems, objections to his authoritarian politics, and the unconventional features of his poetic realism. Yet Lorenzo is now seen as the most interesting exponent of the cultural renaissance that he encouraged. His longer poems in particular reveal the central concerns, everyday activities, and favorite ideas of his day. No other Florentine writer succeeds in capturing as he does the beauty, seasonal changes, and rhythms of life of the Tuscan countryside. His poetic realism is that which sets him apart from his age, yet makes him such a vivid portrayer of it. The availability of his works in English will serve to modify and enlarge our conception of the Florentine Renaissance.Jon Thiem is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Colorado State University. He is the co-translator of History, Philosophy, and Culture in the Young Gramsci (Telos, 1975) and author of numerous essays published in Comparative Literature, The Journal of the History of Ideas, and Cadmos.

Before We Were Strangers Simon & Schuster
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist "missed connection" post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends.I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn't stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone.A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding... I didn't see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday.You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn't know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again.You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I've spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like.I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?

On the Names-of-the-Father Polity Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
What astonishing success the Name-of-the-Father has had! Everyone finds something in it. Who one's father is isn't immediately obvious, hardly being visible to the naked eye. Paternity is first and foremost determined by one's culture. As Lacan said, "The Name-of-the-Father creates the function of the father." But then where does the plural stem from? It isn't pagan, for it is found in the Bible. He who speaks from the burning bush says of Himself that He doesn't have just one Name. In other words, the Father has no proper Name. It is not a figure of speech, but rather a function. The Father has as many names as the function has props. What is its function? The religious function par excellence, that of tying things together. What things? The signifier and the signified, law and desire, thought and the body. In short, the symbolic and the imaginary. Yet if these two become tied to the real in a three-part knot, the Name-of-the-Father is no longer anything but mere semblance. On the other hand, if without it everything falls apart, it is the symptom of a failed knotting. - Jacques-Alain Miller

Acoustic Environments in Change/Five Village Soundscapes (+4 cd) Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENTS IN CHANGE.How are the soundscapes of European villages doing? Can you still hear the factory hooters in the Swedish Skruv? What about the echo and children?s voices in the old part and the new residential areas in the Italian Cembra? The writers are interested in both the disruption of sonic order, and the listening experiences of the members of the communities who wish to preserve order and equilibrium. How willing are the villagers to open up to the outside world and tourists, their new potential "patrons"? What about the process of becoming more aware of the noise and silence in their own lived environment? The writers also delve into the dynamics of social memory, nostalgia and soundscape, and the relationship between human and non-human materialities in these villages.The first part of this publication with its twelve articles takes you to six European places, five of which were visited by the World Soundscape Project in the mid-1970s. The starting point in both studies has been to research acoustically and culturally diverse sonic environments. In this new study methods of anthropology and cultural studies have been deployed to supplement the methodology of soundscape research. The study strives towards making us aware of local interpretations about soundscape.Writers: Dr Helmi J

String Quintets No. 1 & 2 Marketing Design
Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna
Though Mendelssohn?s two string quintets sound as if they were written one right after the other, they were actually composed 20 years apart; and a good deal of revising and refining went into them. Overall, Mendelssohn?s approach reveals a very different sense of how music is constructed, certainly compared with the compositional aesthetics of Beethoven?s chamber music. The techniques used are nowhere to be found in Beethoven, least of all in his revered string quartets. Rather they are to be found in the composers who were being rediscovered as part of the growing historical awareness of Mendelssohn?s era. Mendelssohn?s interest in chamber music helped fuel his own compositions, and in a sense forced him to clarify his own understanding; thus in 1842 he wrote a famous letter stating his musical aesthetic and the importance of instrumental music:?So many words are uttered about music, and yet so little is said... People complain that music is so open to interpretation and that they don?t know what they are supposed to think. Words, on the other hand, they think, can be understood by everyone. For me it?s exactly the other way around? What music expresses for me? are not ideas that are too indefinite to put into words, but too definite?? That is the aesthetic embodied in these delightful works; and it is captivatingly articulated here by the original-instrument ensemble L?Archibudelli.

Unknown Pleasures It Books
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Joy Division changed the face of music. Godfathers of alternative rock, they reinvented music in the post-punk era, creating a new sound-dark, hypnotic, and intense-that would influence U2, Morrissey, R.E.M., Radiohead, and numerous others. The story is now legendary: in 1980, on the heels of their groundbreaking debut, UNKNOWN PLEASURES, and on the eve of their first U.S. tour, the band was rent asunder by the tragic death of their enigmatic lead singer, Ian Curtis. Yet in the mere three years they were together, Joy Division produced two landmark albums and a handful of singles-including the iconic anthem "Love Will Tear Us Apart"-that continue to have a powerful resonance to this day. Now for the first time their story is told by one of their own. In UNKNOWN PLEASURES, founding member and bass player Peter Hook recounts how four young men from Manchester and Salisbury, with ad hoc instruments and a beat up old van, rose from the punk scene to create a haunting atmospheric music that would define a generation. Peter talks with eye-opening candor and reflection about the suicide of Ian Curtis; covers the band's friendships and fall-outs; the evolution of their sound and image; and the larger-than-life characters who formed a vital part of the Joy Division legend including Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and producer Martin Hannett. Told with surprising humor and vivid detail, UNKNOWN PLEASURES is the book Joy Division fans have waited decades for.
