Описание: From Robert E. Howard's fertile imagination sprang some of fiction's greatest heroes, including Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull, and Solomon Kane. But of all Howard's characters, none embodied his creator's brooding temperament more than Bran Mak Morn, the last king of a doomed race. In ages past, the Picts ruled all of Europe. But the descendants of those proud conquerors have sunk into barbarism . . . all save one, Bran Mak Morn, whose bloodline remains unbroken. Threatened by the Celts and the Romans, the Pictish tribes rally under his banner to fight for their very survival, while Bran fights to restore the glory of his race. Lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Gary Gianni, this collection gathers together all of Howard's published stories and poems featuring Bran Mak Morn-including the eerie masterpiece "Worms of the Earth" and "Kings of the Night," in which sorcery summons Kull the conqueror from out of the depths of time to stand with Bran against the Roman invaders. Also included are previously unpublished stories and fragments, reproductions of manuscripts bearing Howard's handwritten revisions, and much, much more. Special Bonus: a newly discovered adventure by Howard, presented here for the very first time.

Автор: Mak, Geert Название: In America: Travels with John Steinbeck ISBN: 1846557038 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781846557033 Издательство: Random House - Penguin Цена: 13190.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: In 1960 John Steinbeck and his dog Charley set out in their green GMC pickup truck to rediscover the soul of America, visiting small towns and cities from New York to New Orleans. The truck was named Rocinante after Don Quixote's horse, and Steinbeck was Cervantes' foolhardy knight. America was looking to the future, full of optimism and desperate to leave behind the troubles of past; Steinbeck, great chronicler of the ordinary working man, was starting to feel out of touch.
As he said to a friend: `I must see how the country looks and smells and sounds.' The trip became Travels With Charley, one of his best-loved books. Half a century on, Geert Mak sets off from Steinbeck's home in his own Rocinante, with his wife and his sat-nav Sandy. Mile after mile, as he retraces Steinbeck's footsteps through the potato fields of Maine to the endless prairies of the Midwest, sits down to eat with farmers, workers, fisherman and teachers, stumbles across glistening suburbs and boarded-up stores, he searches for the roots of America and what remains of the restless, prosperous world Steinbeck describes.
Part biography, part cultural history, In America asks how America has changed in the last 50 years; what's happened to Main Street, USA, and the American dream; and what do we, Europe and America, still have in common in the twenty-first century?

Автор: Mak Olha Название: Stones Under the Scythe ISBN: 1462010377 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781462010370 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 18170.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Olha Mak, author of several novels for adolescents and young adults, wrote Stones Under the Scythe to help shatter a conspiracy of silence and deliberate denial about one of the most terrible tragedies to befall any nation, a catastrophe caused by the workings of a group of fanatical "creators of a new breed of men."
The characters in the novel are composites of individuals and the narrative is based on real events the author witnessed as a university student. The story of 15 yearold Andriy recreates the fate of millions of Ukrainian children who either perished or barely escaped death in the years of a man-made famine, the Holodomor, that took the life of every fourth Ukrainian. However, Olha Mak's novel is not a somber story of horrible events. Her characters bear witness to the truth that the human spirit cannot be fully subdued. But this is a truth that needs frequent reminders, for everyone at some point comes to feel vanquished by the brutality that confronts them.

Описание: Cette etude se propose de donner quelques cles essentielles pour une comprehension de la fracture identitaire qui parcourt la societe ukrainienne et que la Revolution orange a revelee au monde occidental. Elle retrace l’evolution de l’idee nationale, de son eclosion au debut du XIXe siecle jusqu’a la proclamation de l’independance en 1991, en passant par les luttes, non abouties, des mouvements de liberation sociale et nationale des annees 1920. La Seconde Guerre mondiale y occupe une place determinante, telle une matrice de deux narrations concurrentes qui commanderait les logiques interpretatives de l’ensemble du recit national. Faut-il parler d’« occupation sovietique » ou de « liberation » ? L’Holodomor, terme forge sur le modele de l’Holocauste pour designer la Grande Famine de 1932-1933, est-il « un genocide » perpetre par le regime stalinien contre le peuple ukrainien, ou « une tragedie collective », commune aux peuples asservis par Moscou ? Meme le tres consensuel Tarass Chevtchenko, poete romantique du XIXe siecle, n’echappe pas au conflit d’interpretations. L’auteure, ethnologue d’origine ukrainienne immigree au Quebec, utilise une approche qualifiee de « proximite distanciee » pour analyser les sensibilites contrastees developpees a l’Est et a l’Ouest, dans le contexte de deux experiences majeures du XXe siecle qui les ont profondement marquees, le communisme et le nationalisme.
Автор: Maria Pramaggiore Название: Making Time in Stanley Kubrick`s Barry Lyndon: Art, History, and Empire ISBN: 1441167757 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781441167750 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 100320.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Considered by critics to be Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, Barry Lyndon has suffered from scholarly and popular neglect. Maria Pramaggiore argues that one key reason that this film remains unappreciated, even by Kubrick aficionados, is that its transnational and intermedial contexts have not been fully explored. Taking a novel approach, she looks at the film from a transnational perspective -- as a foreign production shot in Ireland and an adaptation of a British novel by an American director about an Irish subject. Pramaggiore argues that, in Barry Lyndon, Kubrick develops his richest philosophical mediation on cinema's capacity to mediate the real and foregrounds film's relationship to other technologies of visuality, including painting, photography, and digital media. By combining extensive research into the film's source novel, production and reception with systematic textual analysis and an engagement with several key issues in contemporary academic debate, this work promises not only to make a huge impact in the field of Kubrick studies, but also in 1970s filmmaking, cultural history and transnational film practice.
