Best Short Stories of Fyodor Dostoyevsky Digireads.com

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

After a brief military career, the illustrious Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky quickly turned to writing as a profession with the publication of his first novel, "Poor Folk," in 1846. This novel sparked a literary career that would eventually cement Dostoyevsky's reputation as one of the greatest novelists of the nineteenth century. Early participation in a literary/political group landed the writer in exile in Siberia for nearly a decade, an experience which had a profound influence on Dostoyevsky's understanding of fate, the suffering of human beings, and resulted in a powerful religious conversion experience. Dostoyevsky's works are marked by his penetrating exploration of psychology and morality, which are today cited as highly 'existentialist.' This definitive collection of Dostoyevsky's short stories includes: White Nights, An Honest Thief, A Christmas Tree and a Wedding, The Peasant Marey, Notes From Underground, A Faint Heart, and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man.

Season in Hell Crescent Moon Publishing

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

ARTHUR RIMBAUD: A SEASON IN HELL edited and translated by Andrew Jary A new translation of Arthur Rimbaud's extraordinary poetic statement, written in 1873. The sensual, violent and anguished emotion in Rimbaud's visionary 'alchemy of the word' remains startling, and continues to inspire poets. Printed with the French text facing the translation. For a time, when he was a teenager until he was 19, art was crucial for the psychic well-being of the restless Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891). The young would-be rebel Rimbaud escaped from the bland provincial town of Charleville in Northern France to wander the streets of Paris in poverty. After writing his Illuminations and A Season in Hell, some of the most extraordinary poems of all world literature, Rimbaud renounced it all for a hellish and apparently boring life in Aden. 'Mortel, ange ET demon, autant dire Rimbaud,' as Rimbaud's lover, Paul Verlaine wrote ('Mortal, angel AND demon, that is to say Rimbaud'.) Arthur Rimbaud is the tornado of world poetry. He out-blasts just about every other poet. For poets, he is more significant than the so-called 'founding fathers' or influential philosophers of modern times: Marx, Freud, Nietzsche and Einstein. For poets, he is 'everybody's favourite hippy', a Communard, a 'precursor of the current movement of subversion of Western notions of self, society, and discourse', and a savage mystic. Arthur Rimbaud is one of the most authentically rebellious of modern poets. Other poets have written of rebellion and radical action, but Rimbaud is one of the very few who actually carried it out (and didn't sound like an idiot when he spoke of it). Picture the young poet in his mid-teens, utterly bored by the living deaths of suburban life, aching to run away to Paris. Though he was dragged back a number of times, Rimbaud's life after his early teens was never again centred in his homeland. True, he returned to his mother, family and homeland, but his true heartland, his landscape of the soul, was elsewhere. Rimbaud was ever a poet of elsewhere, the other place, displacement. He was always another person: 'Je est un autre (I is an other). He rebelled partly for the joy of rebellion. His early poetry is marked by an extraordinary virulence and anger. Illuminations and A Season in Hell, his major works, are also powered by an immense anger - a cosmic anger, a psycho-cultural-spiritual turmoil. Illustrated, with a newly revised text for this edition. Introduction, bibliography and notes. ISBN 971861713605. www.crmoon.com

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Essays in the History of Languages and Linguistics - Nemeth Michał, Podolak Barbara, Urban Mateusz

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Many of those who will read these pages are fully aware of Marek Stachowski"s scholarly achievements up to the present. How ver professorsatile and appreciated an author he has been is illustrated quite perfectly by the table of contents of the present tome. Indeed, Professor Stachowski is commonly regarded as a Turkologist whose varied academic career has been marked by a consistent approach to linguistic analysis: utilising historical-linguistic and philological methods while at the same time paying special attention to the historical background, cultural context, chronology, and the geography of linguistic contacts. Certainly, Marek Stachowski has helped broaden our knowledge of the history of Turkic languages and improve the methodology bequeathed to us by earlier generations. Additionally, however, thanks to his broad interdisciplinary approach " combining the experience and knowledge of a Turkologist with, primarily, the expertise of Uralists, Slavicists, Arabists, Iranists, Mongolists, and specialists in Yeniseic, Carpathian and Balkan studies ? Marek Stachowski has been able to address issues lying beyond his main field of expertise. In fact, during his career he has highlighted just how relevant Turkology is to these research areas and, just as importantly, how much Turkology has been enriched by them. Thus, it would perhaps not be amiss to say that the central theme of his work has been its wide-ranging, multifaceted outlook.

Duphly: Complete Pieces De Clavecin Brilliant Classics

Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna

Although now faded into obscurity, Jacques Duphly was one of the most prominent French harpsichordists of his time, famedfor his excellent teaching skills and known for his enviable connections with the French aristocracy. His keyboard works are a veritable treasure trove of music for harpsichord lovers; despite having been an organist in his youth, he soon realised thathis talents lay with the smaller keyboard instrument, and he moved from Rouen to Paris to make best use of his skills. Thisrelease contains Duphly?s complete keyboard music in the form of four livres for the harpsichord, written between 1744 and1768, a period that marked extensive change both in France and within Duphly?s music. At the beginning of his career,Duphly?s music closely resembled the works of Baroque composers Couperin and Rameau; by the fourth book, however, his music has become firmly Classical in style, with extensive use of Alberti basses (broken chords in the left hand), a feature regularly used by Classical composers such as Haydn and Mozart. Duphly also began to utilize new harmonies and rhythmic structures in his music that had never before been possible; the complexity of the works reveals the high level expected of amateur players at the time. Many of Duphly?s works are named after the aristocrats with whom the composer enjoyed connections at the time; his death in the revolutionary year of 1789 marked the end of a period of the harpsichord?s huge popularity among the aristocracy in France. One of Brilliant Classics? most prominent artists, Pieter-Jan Belder is the perfect interpreter of these works, here using a harpsichord carefully modelled after a 1730 Blanchet model in order to create a highly authentic performance. Having already released works by C.P.E. Bach, Soler and Rameau, not to mention his ongoing recording of the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, Belder is a sensitive and lyrical harpsichordist, with an assured touch that brings Duphly?s neglected oeuvre to life. Praised by Gramophone magazine for his ?style and clarity? and ?great sense of spontaneity? in his recording of Soler?s harpsichord works, Belder proves himself to be a master of 18th-century harpsichord music. He is joined by Japanese violinist Rie Kimura, who adds sparkling energy when Duphly calls for the addition of the violin.A premiere release: the complete keyboard music by Duphly! ? Jacques Duphly was one of the most famous keyboard virtuosos and composers of mid-18th century France. This 4-CD set presents his entire output for the keyboard, consisting of 4 books, Livres de Pieces de Clavecin. Written between 1744 and 1768 these important works mark the transition from the rich ornamented Baroque style to the more gallant style of the Classical Era, foreshadowing the early keyboard works by Mozart.An important release, and another feather in the cap of the indefatigable Pieter-Jan Belder, one of the foremost keyboard players of today, with more than 100 CD?s to his name: complete Scarlatti Sonatas, complete Rameau, Marais, CPE Bach, Telemann, JS Bach and many others. ? Liner notes written by Pieter-Jan Belder.Other information:Recorded in 2013 and 2014 at the Capuchin Monastery in Velp, Grave, The Netherlands.Extensive notes on the composer, works and the performer.

Principles of Didtributive Justice - Grzegorz Lissowski

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - There is constant debate around the questions of what constitutes the 'just' distribution of goods and how we can assess existing distribution patterns. Some commentators mistakenly believe that there can be one simple, all-encompassing governing principle that automatically yields the 'fairest' results. In this book Grzegorz Lissowski argues that three types of principles need to be distinguished according to three requirements of justice: equality, impartiality, and unanimity. The principle of equality regulates the results of the division of goods; impartiality concerns the characteristics of the method applied; unanimity the mutual agreement of all parties involved in the division. A thorough examination of the properties of these principles of justice allows for a rational choice of the principle that is suited best to any given situation. Each chapter is written in two parts, the first offering an general overview suitable for any interested reader, the second " marked with an asterisk " for those interested in the more detailed justifications of arguments brought forward. Lissowski?s book presents and systematises the results of studies about various aspects of the division of goods, carried out over the past forty years. The work is unique in the world literature because of the key idea of linking division principles with three of their aspects: equality, impartiality, and unanimity. Prof. Tadeusz Krauze Hofstra University, New York Lissowski sums up his many years of research, and he reaffirms his strong position in the international literature which he has achieved by publishing several articles in renowned American journals (e.g. American Political Science Review). Prof. Piotr Sztompka Jagiellonian University Grzegorz Lissowski is sociology professor at the University of Warsaw. His major fields of study are: mathematical and statistical models in social science, formal theory, decision theory, especially social choice theory.

Minecraft - Larsson Linus, Goldberg Daniel

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Just a few years ago, Markus Persson was a bored IT-developer in Stockholm. In the evenings, he toiled away on a labour of love: a game with a tiny but dedicated online following. It was called Minecraft and Markus released it to the world in early 2009. The game itself looks deceptively simple. It resembles a digital version of Lego " bricks stacked on top of each other, giving players a world where they build whatever structures their mind can conjure. A breath of fresh air compared to the industry giants" shooter games. In the space of a few years, Minecraft has become one of the most astonishing success stories of the internet age, attracting millions of players and proving how a single great idea can topple empires in the digital, post-industrial world. This is the story of the man behind the game. Here Markus opens up for the first time about his life. About his old Lego-filled desk at school, the first computer his father brought home one day and also about growing up in a family marked by drug abuse and conflict. But above all it is the story of the fine line between seeming misfit and creative madman, and the birth of a tech visionary.

"The Dead Father "is a gargantuan half-dead, half-alive, part mechanical, wise, vain, powerful being who still has hopes for himself--even while he is being dragged by means of a cable toward a mysterious goal. In this extraordinary novel, marked by the imaginative use of language that influenced a generation of fiction writers, Donald Barthelme offered a glimpse into his fictional universe. As Donald Antrim writes in his introduction, "Reading "The Dead Father," one has the sense that its author enjoys an almost complete artistic freedom . . . a permission to reshape, misrepresent, or even ignore the world as we find it . . . Laughing along with its author, we escape anxiety and feel alive."
