It all blends here unexpectedly: that past and memory with the present and space. . . .] At times, your skin will crawl with pleasure from reading.--Andrzej Stasiuk
Lying in bed in Gotland after a writer's conference, thinking about his compulsive desire to travel--and the uncomfortable tensions this desire creates--the narrator of Salki starts recounting tragic stories of his family's past, detailing their lives, struggles, and fears in twentieth-century Eastern Europe. In these pieces, he investigates various salkis--attic rooms where memories and memorabilia are stored--real and metaphorical, investigating old documents to better understand the violence of recent times.
Winner of the prestigious Gdynia Literary Award for Essay, Salki is in the tradition of the works of W. G. Sebald and Ryszard Kapuscinski, utilizing techniques of Polish reportage in creating a landscape of memory that is moving and historically powerful.
Wojciech Nowicki is a Polish essayist, journalist, critic, photographer, and even writes a culinary column. He is also the co-founder of the Imago Mundi Foundation devoted to promoting photography. Salki is his first book to be translated into English.
Jan Pytalski is a graduate of the American Studies Center at the University of Warsaw, and has an MA in translation from the University of Rochester.

Описание: In this first study in English of a master of Polish cinema, Annette Insdorf explores Has's thirteen feature films with the same deep insight of her groundbreaking book on Krzysztof Kieslowski, Double Lives, Second Chances (Northwestern, 2013).Wojciech Has's films are still less known outside of his native Poland than those of his countrymen Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Zanussi, and Krzysztof Kieslowski. Yet thanks to his singular vision, many critics rank Has among the masters of world cinema. Some of his movies have developed a cult following, notably The Saragossa Manuscript, the favorite film of the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, which has been praised by directors Luis Buñuel, Francis Ford Coppola, and Roman Polanski.Has's films reveal the inner lives of his characters, which he portrays by giving free rein to his own wildly creative imagination. In addition toThe Saragossa Manuscript, his diverse and innovative filmography includes The Hourglass Sanatorium, a vividly surreal depiction of Hassidic life in Poland between the world wars; The Noose, a stark poetic drama about a lucid alcoholic who knows he will not be able to kick the habit; and How to Be Loved, in which an actress remembers her wartime past.Has made disparate but formally striking movies infused with European strains of existentialism and the avant-garde. With many of his films being restored and rereleased, new generations of film lovers are discovering his artistic genius. Intimations: The Cinema of Wojciech Has is the definitive guide in English to his work.
Автор: Pikor, Wojciech (nicolaus Copernicus University, Poland) Название: Land of israel in the book of ezekiel ISBN: 0567692663 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567692665 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 35890.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Pikor anaylzes the land of Israel in the book of Ezekiel showing how its preoccupation with the Babylonian exile and the loss of the Promised Land that this entails is directly linked to the danger this poses to Israel's covenant with God. Pikor examines the motif of land in its literary and historical contexts and in relation to the oracles of salvation in chapters 34-39 as well as the vision of the new Israel and the return of Yahweh's Glory to the temple.
Pikor begins by examining the motif of land in its literary and historical contexts. The main body of the book then addresses specific sections of Ezekiel. Chapter two analyzes the oracles of punishment addressed to Israel, in which the land undergoes a process of anthropomorphization. Chapter three situates the punishment experienced by Ezekiel and his listeners in a broader historical context suggested by the prophet in Ezekiel 20. Chapter four analyses the oracles of salvation in Ezekiel 34-39, in which the restoration of the land of Israel remains intertwined with the promise of the new covenant. Finally, chapter five addresses the closing vision of the new Israel (Ezekiel 40-48), which is characterized by the territorial dimension of the future restoration. This feature is shown via analysis of the rhetoric of the land, the crucial element of which is the return of Yahweh's Glory to the temple. God's presence adds sacral value to the land in which his covenant with his people is to be realized. The covenant will be finalized through Israel's repopulation of the renewed land.
Автор: Tworek Wojciech Название: Eternity Now: Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liady and Temporality ISBN: 1438475543 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781438475547 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 50890.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The Habad movement, formed in eighteenth-century Belarus, has developed into one of the most influential streams of Hasidic Judaism. Drawing on both mystical sermons and legal writings of its founder, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liady (1745-1812), Eternity Now provides the first account of the historiosophical dimensions of early Habad doctrine. Challenging the commonly held view that Shneur Zalman was primarily concerned with supratemporal transcendence, Wojciech Tworek reveals the importance of time and history in his teachings. Tworek argues that the worldly dimensions of Shneur Zalman's thought were largely responsible for the rapid growth of Habad at the turn of the nineteenth century and fostered its transformation from an elitist circle into a mass movement. Tworek's readings of Hebrew and Yiddish sources demonstrate the implications of these ideas not only for male scholars but also for non-scholars, Jewish women, and even non-Jews. Philosophical and kabbalistic thought joined together to form a model of religious experience attractive to a broad audience, laying an ideological foundation for the missionary messianism that was to become a hallmark of Habad in the twentieth century.
This book explores the influence of culture and cognition on translation and communication and brings together revised versions of papers delivered at the First International TransLingua Conference, organized in 2015 by the Institute of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics and the Department of English at Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The volume investigates various languages and cultures (including Japanese, Hungarian, English, Czech, Polish, German and Swahili) and examines a range of linguistic and translation issues from a micro-scale perspective. Alongside these case studies, it also includes reflections by two internationally renowned scholars, El?bieta Tabakowska and Zolt?n K?vecses, on the interplay between language, culture and cognition and the influence of collective and individual memory on translation.
Автор: Zalewski Wojciech Maria Название: The Crucible of Religion: Culture, Civilization, and Affirmation of Life ISBN: 1610978285 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781610978286 Издательство: Amazon Internet Рейтинг: Цена: 57470.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Synopsis: Religion is commonly viewed through the lens of the world's religious traditions, stressing the differences, and often the conflicts, among them. The author of this book instead presents religion as a common and universal human phenomenon, based deeply in a human nature shared by all. In this view, the underlining and unifying principle of religion is a particular affirmative attitude toward life, which he presents as the Ultimate Value, and as such the key cultural constituent and defining factor of all religion. This Ultimate Value finds its expressions in various civilizations, and results in a variety of forms; these are what we know as the world's religious traditions. By analyzing the roles of both culture and civilization in their attitudes toward life, the author places religion beyond religious traditions, and shows how the latter, regardless of whether they are theistic or atheistic, draw their principles from the former, mainly by promoting the Golden Rule in its applications. Endorsements: "Wojciech Zalewski's synthesis of religions . . . presents] a Rousseau-like view that human beings are fundamentally good, born with a desire and respect for life, which becomes perverted by the institutions of their civilization. The evidence that he is right lies in the countless acts of goodness performed by individuals in their daily life apart from, and sometimes in opposition to, the norms of their societies. The Crucible of Religion is an uplifting and hopeful book by a true humanitarian." --Kenneth R. Graham Professor Emeritus Muhlenberg College "Zalewski examines religion as a personal and social construct based on the human yearning for life . . . By differentiating culture from civilization he is able to distinguish between religion as such and various religious traditions . . ., and in so doing to recast the discussion of God in terms of the affirmation of life implemented through the practice of the Golden Rule . . . By equating life with God, Zalewski opens a dialogue among agnostics, atheists, and believers. --Thomas Sheehan Professor of Religious Studies Stanford University Author Biography: Wojciech Maria Zalewski is the Curator for Slavic and East European Collections Emeritus and Bibliographer for Religious Studies at the Stanford University Libraries. He is the author of Untersuchungen uber the literarische Gattung der Apokalypse 1-3.
Автор: Jagielski, Wojciech Название: All Lara`s Wars ISBN: 1644210169 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781644210161 Издательство: Random House (USA) Рейтинг: Цена: 14680.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: The true story of one woman's journey after her sons joined ISIS. "A painfully authentic account, told with sensitivity and literary artistry." --Magdalena Kicińska In All Lara's Wars, the great events of the last half-century--the realignment of Eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union, and the rise in the Middle East of ISIS and its quest for a new Caliphate--converge in this account of a Chechen-Georgian family whose two sons become radicalized, and how their mother--Lara--travels to Syria by bus and at great risk, not to join them but to bring them home. By then, the older son is a high level commander and the younger son a respected soldier in ISIS's army. The story is told with a sense of wonder at the contemporary world and all the ways it resembles a primitive and violent land where all struggles are to the death, and there is an epic battle going on between forces of good and evil that cannot be understood other than as mythic and larger than life. Lara is a Kist--one of a tiny ethnicity that crossed the Caucasus mountains a century ago to settle in the remote Pankisi Gorge in northern Georgia, a peaceful and isolated paradise. She married a Chechen, moved to Grozny, and became the mother of two sons. When war came to Chechnya, she took her children home to the safe Georgian valley, and later sent them to Western Europe to live with their father--to protect them from the influence of the radical Islamic freedom fighters who had come to the Pankisi Gorge as refugees from the Chechnyan wars. As in all of Wojciech Jagielski's books, he tells here the story of any modern war, how the individual lives of civilians and combatants are obliterated in the sweep of the larger narrative--and how the humanity of these individual lives is revealed, and the price paid in human endurance and persistence and loss. Jagielski observes, listening to Lara and letting her story emerge through the filter of his literary skill. This unusual reportage tells us the facts of the Chechnyan wars and the reality of the Syrian war from the viewpoint of ISIS recruits, but it is also the true account of one ordinary family that became part of the larger tragedy that has claimed so many victims in recent years.

I learned a few tips and tricks even I hadn't known! Nathan has done a fantastic job compiling information and making it understandable for everyone! I highly recommend it to others!" - J.V. Krakowski, psychic teacher."Interested a book on psychic development that's different from all of the rest? Try Nathan's new e-book, Psychic Development Simplified and you won't be disappointed.(...)As a professional intuitive, I found myself nodding my head along with him in the "How To" do a psychic reading section. (...) I found myself puzzling over them somewhat not only as I was learning some new things, but also as I recognized that there were a number of things I do automatically in a reading that I didn't really learn anywhere that Nathan puts a name to and teaches you how to do - invaluable. (...)Nathan uses easy to understand "everyday" analogies to explain complex topics. He is straightforward and calls it like he sees it. You can trust his judgement when he gives you advice on how to think about the process and not to overwhelm or overload yourself, but instead to take it easy and at your own pace. Some of the advice he gives in snippets thrown out here and there are simply priceless and will resonate with everyone, no matter what your intuitive style or belief system. (...)It is dense, extensively informative, and something that I would liken to a Psychic Encyclopedia. My take on this is that it could in itself be considered a fairly comprehensive course. The perspective is unique, and just different enough to make even a seasoned psychic or intuitive reconsider their position on some things." - Julie Barrett, professional psychic intuitive."(...) I had the good fortune of being able to read "Psychic Development Simplified" and am so glad I did. I was a little daunted at first by the number of pages, but once I settled in to read, it was hard to put it down. It is exactly as the title states - simplified. One of the best pieces of information I learned was that not everyone has the same gifts, but you have the ability to learn others. Before I started reading, I had visions in my head about turban wearing shrunken ladies with long fingernails and a crystal ball; I was extremely happy to find out this is not a realistic thought and true psychics are every day people with every day lives. Another great point about this book are the theories that are discussed in full detail before each practical activity. I like a little knowledge and/or history before I dive into something and that is exactly what Nathan provided. The practical exercises were easy to understand and attempt throughout the entire book. I'm so thankful for my new knowledge that I can't wait to re-read and continue practicing. I would highly recommend this for all levels of learning and practicing psychics." - Jennifer, a psychic in training.Get your copy today, and unleash your psychic potential
