Sanin: National and Imperial Identities in Late Tsarist Russia
ISBN: 9780801435713 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Some praised the novel far more than it deserved, others complained bitterly that it was a defamation of youth.

The work... "It evoked almost unprecedented discussions, like those at the time of Turgenev's Fathers and Sons. Some praised the novel far more than it deserve... |

It is not pretended that these laws and customs existed in England in the sixth century; no, it is only pretended that inasmuch as they existed in the English and other civilizations of far later times, it is safe to consider that it is no libel upon the sixth century to suppose them to have been in practice in that day also.

Jane Austen: The Complete Works
ISBN: 9780141395203 / Angielski / Twarda / 3120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Each of these novels is a love story and a story about marriage--marriage for love, for financial security, for social status. But they are not mere romances. Ironic, comic, and wise, they are masterly studies of the society Austen observed. The seven books in this box set--Sense and Sensibility, Pride and...
