A Reprint very good- paperback, signs of age & wear on covs. & spine as in image, text very good+. Marxist literary criticism is becoming increasingly important in Europe as a whole, and interest in the subject is rapidly growing in this country. In this book, Dr. Eagleton analyses the major issues that the subject presents, discussing the writing of Marx and Engels themselves and the work of such critics as Plekhanov, Trotsky, Lenin, Lukacs, Goldmann, Caudwell, Benjamin and Brecht. They are seen from four viewpoints central to Marxist thought: the relation of literature to history, the problem of 'form' and 'content' in literature, the question of literature and political commitment, and the importance of production and technology in art. Dr. Eagleton's exploration of these critical stances throws useful light on the connection between the Marxist approach and structuralism. The author stresses, however, that Marxist criticism cannot be seen simply in academic terms. In his preface he rejects the… Read More

Kober, Hainer. 255p. 19,5x12,5cm. 400gr. In a virtuoso display of erudition, thoughtfulness and humour, Terry Eagleton teases apart the concept of hope as it has been (often mistakenly) conceptualised over six millennia, from ancient Greece to today. He distinguishes hope from simple optimism, cheeriness, desire, idealism or adherence to the doctrine of Progress, bringing into focus a standpoint that requires reflection and commitment, arises from clear-sighted rationality, can be cultivated by practice and self-discipline, and which acknowledges but refuses to capitulate to the realities of failure and defeat. Authentic hope is indubitably tragic, yet Eagleton also argues for its radical implications as 'a species of permanent revolution, whose enemy is as much political complacency as metaphysical despair'. It is a means of facing the future without devaluing the… Read More

A 1st English ed. near fine hardcover with very good+ DJ, has minor scratching on back cov., book/text as new.'Translation is always a shift, not between two languages but between two cultures. A translator must take into account rules that are not strictly linguistic but, broadly speaking, cultural.' Umberto Eco is of the world's most brilliant and entertaining writers on literature and language. In this accessible and dazzling study, he turns his eye on the subject of translations and the problems the differences between cultures can cause. The book is full of little gems about mistranslations and misunderstandings.For example when you put 'Studies in the logic of Charles Sanders Peirce' through an internet translation machine, it becomes 'Studies in the logic of the Charles of sandpaper grinding machines Peirce'. In Italian 'ratto' has no connotation of 'contemptible person' but denotes speed ('you dirty rat' could take on a whole new meaning!) What could be a weighty subject is never… Read More

A very good+ cloth-bound hardcover with very good DJ as in image, book & text near fine. 900gr.Drei Mailänder Verlagslektoren geraten zufällig an eine Geheimbotschaft des legendenumwitterten Templerordens. Sie machen sich an die Entzifferung, bauen aus zahllosen Elementen ein gigantisches Puzzle, erfinden selbst einen Plan, der zu nichts Geringerem führen soll als zur Beherrschung der Welt. Nicht nur die Templer - so scheint es - haben sich mit dem Plan beschäftigt, sondern sämtliche Geheimgesellschaften der Welt, von den Rosenkreuzern bis hin zu den Freimaurern. Die Weltgeschichte wird von den drei Zauberlehrlingen umgeschrieben. Doch dann wird aus dem intellektuellen Spiel blutiger Ernst: Menschen, die mit dem Plan zu tun haben, verschwinden oder werden ermordet, der Plan verselbständigt sich, wird unheimliche Realität ...translator:
