Douglas Adams, the legendary author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency is one of the most beloved authors of all time.

This book explores the world of three American expatriate writers in the Europe of the 1920's and 30's.

Shakespeare and the Catholic Faith is not only a biography of William Shakespeare, but more importantly, it’s about William Shakespeare’s faith and how his faith is reflected, not only in his poems and plays but in all the mysterious parts of his life that nobody could make sense of until now.. For example, why did Shakespeare leave Stratford shortly after the birth of twins Judith and Hamnet and live most of his adult life in London when he could’ve just written his plays from the comfort of his own home in Stratford?

L’Autobiogrammatica che avete tra le mani è un gioco sorprendente e vertiginoso: il racconto di un’esistenza – unica e comune – come la storia di un linguaggio. Esiste un legame segreto tra le due linee sinuose lungo cui si snoda la nostra vita: da una parte l’apprendistato dell’alfabeto, dei nomi, del lessico famigliare, dell’insulto, dello scherzo, delle lingue straniere, dei codici segreti, della poesia; dall’altra l’invadente amore per i genitori, la scuola che è un viaggio nell’ignoto, le seduzioni e dilazioni dell’amicizia e del desiderio, la contrattazione di un posto nel mondo.

Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, What Matters in Jane Austen? solves the mysteries of Austen’s fictional world. Jane Austen’s novels have been a staple of the English canon since the nineteenth century. Yet critics of the time did not appreciate the true complexity of her work. Nothing, John Mullan argues, is accidental or coincidental in Austen. As Austen herself said, she wrote for readers who have "a great deal of ingenuity themselves."

Opowieść o Januszu Przymanowskim, który „Rudym 102" zawojował całą Polskę Czy jest choć jeden dorosły Polak, który nie słuchał serialu „Czterej pancerni i pies"? Podczas emisji w peerelowskiej TVP każdego z odcinków wyludniały się ulice i podwórka. Ten popularny cykl zatrzymywał przed ekranami wiele pokoleń, a jego popularność trwa do dzisiaj. Sama książka Janusza Przymanowskiego to także fenomen, i to nie tylko w sensie literackim, ale socjologicznym i kulturowym. Skąd sukces opowieści, w której można znaleźć sporo naiwności, wręcz komiksowych uproszczeń?

The Oxford Handbook of George Orwell offers a wide-ranging reconsideration of Orwell's life and work, focusing on the extensive connections between his novels, essays, diaries, columns, letters, and reviews. Sections on Orwell's professional activities, his main literary influences, his politics, his intellectual fixations, his literary contemporaries, and his legacies structure the book, which moves thematically and topically through the full scope of his output.

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 223 This book examines the influence of members of the Society of the Sacred Mission at Kelham Hall on T. S. Eliot’s poetics, cultural criticism and his search for identity. It focusses particularly on Eliot’s friendship with Br George Every SSM, and the correspondence between them that led to a deep intellectual and spiritual relationship.

De 1985 à 1992, j'ai transcrit des scènes, des paroles, saisies dans le R.E.R., les hypermarchés, le centre commercial de la Ville Nouvelle, où je vis. Il me semble que je voulais ainsi retenir quelque chose de l'époque et des gens qu'on croise juste une fois, dont l'existence nous traverse en déclenchant du trouble, de la colère ou de la douleur. Annie Ernaux. Marianne Denicourt s'empare avec grâce de cette série d'instantanés urbains habilement saisis par Annie Ernaux.
