Great Gatsby Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

A beautiful new edition of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby to coincide with the release of Baz Luhrmann's film. 'There was music from my neighbour's house through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.' Everybody who is anybody is seen at the glittering parties held in millionaire Jay Gatsby's mansion in West Egg, east of New York. The riotous throng congregates in his sumptuous garden, coolly debating Gatsby's origins and mysterious past. None of the frivolous socialites understands him and among various rumours is the conviction that 'he killed a man'. A detached onlooker, Gatsby is oblivious to the speculation he creates, but always seems to be watching and waiting, though no one knows what for. As writer Nick Carraway is drawn into this decadent orbit, Gatsby's destructive dreams and passions are revealed, leading to disturbing and tragic consequences. "Not only a page turner and heartbreaker, it's one of the most quintessentially American novels ever written". (Time). F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul, Minnesota in 1896.He studied at Princeton University before joining the army in 1917. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic relationship and subsequent breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and the Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work); six volumes of short stories and The Crack-Up, a selection of autobiographical pieces. F. Scott Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.

Biodiversity and Earth History Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co....

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This uniquely interdisciplinary textbook explores the exciting and complex relationship between Earth s geological history and the biodiversity of life. Its innovative design provides a seamless learning experience, clarifying major concepts step by step with detailed textual explanations complemented by detailed figures, diagrams and vibrant pictures. Thanks to its layout, the respective concepts can be studied individually, as part of the broader framework of each chapter, or as they relate to the book as a whole. It provides in-depth coverage of: - Earth s formation and subsequent geological history, including patterns of climate change and atmospheric evolution; - The early stages of life, from microbial primordial soup theories to the fossil record s most valuable contributions; - Mechanisms of mutual influence between living organisms and the environment: how life changed Earth s history whilst, at the same time, environmental pressures continue to shape the evolution of species; - Basic ideas in biodiversity studies: species concepts, measurement techniques, and global distribution patterns; - Biological systematics, from their historical origins in Greek philosophy and Biblical stories to Darwinian evolution by natural selection, and to phylogenetics based on cutting-edge molecular techniques. This book s four major sections offer a fresh cross-disciplinary overview of biodiversity and the Earth s history. Among many other concepts, they reveal the massive diversity of eukaryotes, explain the geological processes behind fossilisation, and provide an eye-opening account of the relatively short period of human evolution in the context of Earth s 4.6 billion-year history. Employing a combination of proven didactic tools, the book is simultaneously a reading reference, illustrated guide, and encyclopaedia of organismal biology and geology. It is aimed at school- and university-level students, as well as members of the public fascinated by the intricate interrelationship of living organisms and their environment.

This selection provides the perfect introduction to Dylan Thomas' work, from poems and broadcasts to his short stories. It highlights his myriad talents, as well as the fluctuating moods and passions that inform his work. Discovered at the age of 19 through a poetry competition in a London newspaper, Dylan Thomas became the object of immediate acclaim and criticism for his adventurous language and resonant verse. Thomas' poetry and prose embrace touching childhood reminiscence and a spiritual yearning from which he emerges, not as the loud bohemian of the personal legend, but as the careful and reflective artist of the poems, stories and broadcasts themselves.

Selected works of Joseph Conrad Wordsworth

Społeczno-obyczajowaMarynistycznaPodróżniczaPowieść zagraniczna

Lord Jim, first published in 1900, confirmed Conrad's place in literature as one of the first 'modernists' of English letters. Set in the Malay Archipelago, not only does the novel provide a gripping account of maritime adventure and romance, but also an exotic tale of the East. Nostromo is the only man capable of the decisive action needed to save the silver of the San Tome mine and secure independence for Sulaco, Occidental Province of the Latin American state of Costaguana. Is his integrity as unassailable as everyone believes, or will his ideals, like those which have inspired the struggling state itself, buckle under economic and political pressureSecret Agent, Conrad's story of espionage and anarchists, tells of Winnie Verloc and her devotion to her peculiar and simple-minded brother, Stevie. Its savagely witty themes of human absurdity and misunderstanding are written in an ironic style that provokes both laughter and unease.This volume also includes a selection of Conrad's matchless short stories - Youth, Typhoon, Heart of Darkness, The End ot the Tether and The Shadow-Line.

Andy Gotts ACC Art Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"Andy's contact-sheets give us what feels like a VIP pass to spend time with his subjects. We see their beauty, their flaws, charisma, humanity and even a glimpse into their thoughts and process. We see the person in these people and are touched by their being." Kylie Minogue"Above all Andy Gotts allows his subjects to shine through, untouched.His artistry does not come afterwards, in Photoshop and all the supposedly flattering trickery technology has taught us to expect. His skill is there in each frame, each moment, in the relationship he has built with his sitter, no matter how short a time they have shared, and the trust he has engendered in them because he is, quite simply, a good man. Anyone who encounters him can sense immediately his openness and kindness and I think this book is most of all a testament to those qualities." Alan Cumming"With this amazing book, you will see why Andy is as much a star as his subjects."

PIĘKNA NASZA POLSKA CAŁA TYTUS JASKUŁOWSKI NOWA WYDAWCA

Książki > Książki naukowe i popularnonaukowe

PIĘKNA NASZA POLSKA CAŁA TYTUS JASKUŁOWSKI NOWA Kontynuacja wydanej w 2015 r. książki "Szpiedzy tacy jak wy. Wywiadowcza (nie)codzienność kontaktów między PRL a NRD 1970?1990". Pracując później nad wydaniem edycji dokumentów wschodnioniemieckiej Stasi poświęconych analizie sytuacji w PRL od 1981 r., autor konfrontował je m.in. z "Informacjami Dziennymi" ? periodycznymi opracowaniami polskiego MSW. Właśnie lektura tych ostatnich stała się jednym z impulsów do powstania niniejszej publikacji. Zgodnie ze stwierdzeniem gen. Czesława Kiszczaka, ?Informacja pomyślana była jako jedna z ważnych form bieżącego informowania naczelnych władz politycznych i państwowych o problemach, zwłaszcza zagrożeniowych, pozostających w zainteresowaniu resortu spraw wewnętrznych?. Stan wojenny był pierwszym tak znaczącym wydarzeniem politycznym, które regularnie prezentowano w kolejnych numerach periodyku. Publikacja składa się ze 115 opowieści opartych na fragmentach 272 "Informacji Dziennych" obejmujących okres od 13 grudnia 1981 r. do 22 lipca 1983 r. Ilustrują one resortowy fatalizm, konformizm, manipulację czy ograniczenia intelektualne funkcjonariuszy. Pomagają w zrozumieniu historii gospodarczej i społecznej PRL, jak również oficjalnej propagandy lat stanu wojennego. Czytelnik dowie się z nich również wiele o kondycji, nie tylko moralnej, ówczesnych mieszkańców PRL. ****** Our beautiful Poland... Martial law in the distorting(?) mirror of the "Daily Information" of the Ministry of Interior 1981?1983 The publication is based on the analysis of the periodical bulletin of the Polish Ministry of the Interior - the so-called "Daily Information", covering the martial law period in Poland (13 December 13 1981 to 22 July 1983). It consists of 115 short "stories". The subjective selection of quotations from the official ministerial documents shows the sad and grotesque side of the martial law, but on a deeper level it helps to understand the economic and social history of the Polish People's Republic, as well as the official propaganda of this period.
