Penguin Book of Russian Poetry Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This is an enchanting collection of the very best of Russian poetry, edited by acclaimed translator Robert Chandler. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, poetry's pre-eminence in Russia was unchallenged, with Pushkin and his contemporaries ushering in the 'Golden Age' of Russian literature. Although prose briefly gained the high ground, poetry again became dominant with the 'Silver Age', which held to a magical view of the world when reason and progress appeared to be collapsing throughout early twentieth-century Europe. During the Soviet era, poetry became a dangerous, subversive activity; nevertheless, poets such as Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova continued to defy the censors and write verse. This fabulous anthology traces Russian poetry from its Golden Age to the modern era, presenting the very best poems in captivating modern translations by Robert Chandler and others. The volume also includes a general introduction, chronology and individual introductions to each poet. Robert Chandler is a poet and translator.His translations from Russian include Aleksandr Pushkin's Dubrovsky and The Captain's Daughter, Nikolay Leskov's Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk and Vasily Grossman's Life and Fate and The Road. With his wife Elizabeth and other colleagues he has co-translated numerous works by Andrey Platonov; Soul won the 2004 American Association of Teachers of Slavic and East European Languages award for best translation from a Slavonic language, as did his translation of The Railway by the contemporary Uzbek novelist Hamid Ismailov. His Russian Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida and Russian Magic Tales are both published in Penguin Classics.

Just After Sunset. Sunset, englische Ausgabe Simon & Schuster

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Subtle, haunting, terrifying - this astonishing collection of short stories from No. 1 bestselling author Stephen King includes the short story "N." §Stephen King - who has written more than fifty books, dozens of number one New York Times bestsellers, and many unforgettable movies - delivers an astonishing collection of short stories, his first since Everything's Eventual six years ago. As guest editor of the bestselling Best American Short Stories 2007 , King spent over a year reading hundreds of stories. His renewed passion for the form is evident on every page of Just After Sunset . The stories in this collection have appeared in The New Yorker , Playboy , McSweeney's , The Paris Review , Esquire , and other publications.§Who but Stephen King would turn a Port-O-San into a slimy birth canal, or a roadside honky-tonk into a place for endless love? A book salesman with a grievance might pick up a mute hitchhiker, not knowing the silent man in the passenger seat listens altogether too well. Or an exercise routine on a stationary bicycle, begun to reduce bad cholesterol, might take its rider on a captivating - and then terrifying - journey. Set on a remote key in Florida, "The Gingerbread Girl" is a riveting tale featuring a young woman as vulnerable - and resourceful - as Audrey Hepburn's character in Wait Until Dark . In "Ayana," a blind girl works a miracle with a kiss and the touch of her hand. For King, the line between the living and the dead is often blurry, and the seams that hold our reality intact might tear apart at any moment. In one of the longer stories here, "N.," which broke new ground when it was adapted as a graphic digital entertainment, a psychiatric patient's irrational thinking might create an apocalyptic threat in the Maine countryside...or keep the world from falling victim to it.§Just After Sunset - call it dusk, call it twilight, it's a time when human intercourse takes on an unnatural cast, when nothing is quite as it appears, when the imagination begins to reach for shadows as they dissipate to darkness and living daylight can be scared right out of you. It's the perfect time for Stephen King.

Woody Allen Biografia - David Evanier

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Tym co wyróżnia tę pracę jest nieprzeciętna erudycja jej autora. Evanier łączy rozmaite punkty widzenia, zagląda do bardzo wielu źródeł, także starych programów telewizyjnych i nieznanych w Polsce wywiadów prasowych, recenzji, a nawet zwierzeń byłych żon, tworząc portret Allena jakiego właściwie nikt do tej pory nie znał. Janusz Wróblewski, Polityka Niektórych ludzi najbardziej pociąga w Woodym to jego: Przykro mi bardzo, ale nie mogę przyjść odebrać Oscara, bo akurat gram z zespołem. Są tacy, którzy twierdzą, że nie obchodzi ich, co myślą inni. Woody przetrwał, ponieważ naprawdę się tym nie przejmuje. Poradził sobie. Udało mu się. Jest autentyczny. Interesuje go, jakie masz zdanie, jakie ja mam zdanie ale nie ciekawi go, co ma do powiedzenia Akademia. Dick Cavett Woody Allen jest jednym z największych reżyserów naszych czasów i jednym z najbardziej płodnych artystów. Scenarzysta, reżyser, aktor, muzyk, komik, dramaturg i pisarz. Twórca ponad czterdziestu pięciu filmów, m.in.: Annie Hall, Manhattan, Danny Rose z Broadwayu, Hannah i jej siostry, Zbrodnie i wykroczenia, Zelig, Purpurowa róża z Kairu, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Co nas kręci, co nas podnieca, O północy w Paryżu, Blue Jasmine, Magia w blasku księżyca. Jest odtwórcą głównych ról, puentą własnych niezrównanych żartów i gagów, wiecznym romantykiem, niezmordowanym cynikiem, człowiekiem dociekliwym, który analizuje współczesne dylematy moralne. W swojej obszernej biografii David Evanier zagląda do prywatnego życia Allena i opisuje jego, jak najbardziej publiczną, karierę. Oddziela prawdę od plotek krążących wokół związku Allena z Mią Farrow, przybliża skandale wokół osoby Allena, które wybuchły w latach dziewięćdziesiątych i odbiły się echem w ostatnim czasie, oraz analizuje powiązania pomiędzy relacjami Allena z kobietami a cechami postaci z jego filmów. Evanier zajmuje się tematami, które przewijają się w twórczości Allena od początku jego działalności artystycznej: moralnością, pociągiem seksualnym, niewiernością, psychologią, Holokaustem, judaizmem i wiarą, a także odwieczną walką między sercem a rozumem. Woody to historia artysty, który nadal ma w sobie pasję, talent i zdolność otwierania nowych artystycznych horyzontów i którego nie opuszcza twórcze uniesienie. David Evanier, autor dziewięciu książek, w tym bestsellera Making the Wiseguys Weep: The Jimmy Roselli Story. Jest laureatem nagród w dziedzinie beletrystyki: Aga Khan Prize for Fiction i McGinnis-Ritchie Short Fiction Award m.in. za: The One-Star Jew, Red Love, The Swinging Headhunter, The Great Kisser, jego opowiadania ukazały się w antologii Best American Short Stories.

Harlan Ellison Ohio State University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Harlan Ellison: The Edge of Forever is the first book-length critical study of the short stories, novels, and TV and movie scripts of Harlan Ellison, a widely honored contemporary fantasist who has attained near legendary status in the science fiction and fantasy communities. Although Ellison has published over 1,100 short stories and several volumes of criticism and commentary since his career began in the 1950s, and is among the most widely anthologized of living writers (including Best American Short Stories), critical attention to his work has been surprisingly sparse. This study explores all aspects of Ellison's career, examining his various stories and screenplays in the context or their times and of the genres in which he worked, from his early crime stories and gang fiction, to his much honored work in science fiction and television (including Star Trek, The Outer Limits, and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour), to his later mature fantasies and narrative experiments. The authors also examine Ellison's relationship to the science fiction genre, which both gave him his widest fame and entrapped him in many ways as both a writer and a public figure. Gary K. Wolfe is professor of Humanities and English and director of the Bachelor of General Studies at Roosevelt University, Chicago. Prior to becoming a successful consultant specializing in the development of corporate retiree volunteer programs, Ellen Weil taught humanities and Holocaust Studies courses at Roosevelt University and the Newberry Library in Chicago.

Men Without Women - Ernest Hemingway

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Men Without Women was a milestone in Hemingway's career. Fiesta had already established him as a novelist of exceptional power, but with these short stories, his second collection, he showed that it is possible, within the space of a few pages, to recreate a scene with absolute truth, bringing to life details observed only by the eye of a uniquely gifted artist. Hemingway's men are bullfighters and boxers, hired hands and hard drinkers, gangsters and gunmen. Each of their stories deals with masculine toughness unsoftened by woman's hand. Incisive, hard-edged, pared down to the bare minimum, they are classic Hemingway territory - they helped establish him as one of the great literary authors of the twentieth century, and one of the best American authors of all time.

Bayou Folk & a Night in Acadie Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In the decade prior to the publication of her landmark novel, The Awakening (1899), Kate Chopin wrote about ninety short stories. She gathered twenty-three of them in a collection entitled Bayou Folk in 1894, and followed that three years later with a collection of twenty-one more in A Night in Acadie. Together, these nuanced portraits of nineteenth-century inhabitants of New Orleans and Natchitoches Parish exquisitely form a sort of Southern novel of manners.Chopin was deeply influenced by the work of French and American realists. Many of the stories in Bayou Folk concern young people seeking good marriage partners and better lives for themselves. Expanding this theme into a search for balance and harmony, personal fulfillment, and cultural richness, A Night in Acadie is, Bernard Koloski notes in his Introduction, "one of America's best nineteenth-century collections of short stories -- and one of the most compassionate views of life in American realistic fiction". With a gentle, knowing gaze, Chopin evoked the distant world of Louisiana plantations and 'Cadian balls, and anticipated the thoroughly modern multi-ethnic, gender-sensitive, and sexually charged world of our century.

Bong Joon-ho Abrams

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Brilliantly illustrated and designed by the London-based film magazine Little White Lies, Bong Joon-ho examines the career of the South Korean writer/director, who has been making critically acclaimed feature films for more than two decades. First breaking out into the international scene with festival-favorite Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000), Bong then set his sights on the story of a real-life serial killer in 2003's Memories of Murder and once again won strong international critical attention, taking home the prize for Best Director at the San Sebastian Film Festival. But it was 2006's The Host that proved to be a huge breakout moment both for Bong and the Korean film industry.The monster movie, set in Seoul, premiered at Cannes and became an instant hit-South Korea's widest release ever, setting new box office records and selling remake rights in the US to Universal. Bong's next feature, Mother (2009) also premiered at Cannes, once again earning critical acclaim and appearing on many "best-of" lists for 2009/2010. Bong's first English-language film, Snowpiercer (2013)-set on a postapocalyptic train where class divisions erupt into class warfare-followed on its heels, bringing his work outside of the South Korean and film festival markets and onto the stage of global commercial cinema.With 2017's Okja (which became a center of controversy due to its being produced and released by Netflix), Bong became even more of an internationally known name, with the New York Times' A. O. Scott calling the film "a miracle of imagination and technique." Bong's next film, the 2019 black comedy/thriller Parasite, simultaneously scaled back-the film is mostly set in just two locations, with two Korean families taking center stage-and took his career to new heights, winning the Palme d'Or with a unanimous vote, as well as history-making Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best International Feature Film.Parasite's jarring shifts in tone-encompassing darkness, drama, slapstick, and black humor-and its unsubtle critiques of late capitalism and American imperialism are in conversation with Bong's entire body of work, and this mid-career monograph will survey the entirety of that work, including his short films, to flesh out the stories behind the films with supporting analytical text and interviews with Bong's key collaborators. The book also explores Bong's rise in the cultural eye of the West, catching up readers with his career before his next masterpiece arrives.

Edgar Allan Poe - Raven Penguin Books

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by award-winning director Guillermo del Toro The Raven: Tales and Poems is a landmark new anthology of Poe's work, which defied convention, shocked readers, and confounded critics. This selection of Poe's writings demonstrates the astonishing power and imagination with which he probed the darkest corners of the human mind.

In 'The Tell Tale Heart,' a murderer's insane delusions threaten to betray him, while stories such as 'The Pit and the Pendulum' and 'The Cask of Amontillado' explore extreme states of decadence, fear and hate. The title narrative poem, maybe Poe's most famous work, follows a man's terrifying descent into madness after the loss of a lover. Edgar Allan Poe (1809-49), was born in Boston, USA. He was a short-story writer, editor and literary critic, and is considered part of the American Romantic Movement.Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor the detective-fiction genre.
