Terence Brown Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

The key to Brown's interpretation of Yeats is magic. Yeats had a lifelong interest in magic, spiritualism and the paranormal. Brown argues with great force that it is this preoccupation which lies at the root of his personality and which is the key to so much else. His hatred of late Victorian materialism informed not just his poetry but also his involvement with the Irish nationalism cause. For all his Irish nationalism, however, there was also an 'English Yeats to which Brown gives very full attention. The poet was formed by his English experience as much as his Irish, and he lived nearly half his adult life in London. Brilliantly written, Terence Brown's biography is the most complete and unified picture yet published of Ireland's greatest poet.

W. B. Yeats is widely regarded as the greatest English-language poet of the twentieth century. This new critical biography seeks to tell the story of his life as it unfolded in the various contexts in which Yeats worked as an artist and as public figure.

Joyceovi Dubliňané patří k vrcholným dílům moderní prózy. V patnácti povídkách „jen“ minimalisticky popisuje a analyzuje své bližní, příslušníky dublinské střední třídy z počátku 20. století. Autor se znamenitě vyrovnal s nelehkým úkolem: napsat působivou povídku, v níž se toho vlastně moc neděje. Podařilo se mu to díky zobrazení „epifanie“, okamžiku prohlédnutí, v němž jeho postavy znenadání nazřou pravdu o svém životě. Bilingvní, anglicko-české vydání díla klasika světové literatury určené pro středně pokročilé zájemce o angličtinu.
