Talat S. Halman
The Turkish Muse: Views And Reviews, 1960s-1990`s

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The first collection of its kind, this volume of more than 225 essays, offers penetrating analysis and insight into the important works of modern Turkish literature. The Turkish Muse: Views and Reviews, 1960s-1990s, collects Talat S. Halman`s book reviews written in English and, read chronologically, provides a unique perspective on the development of Turkish literature and criticism during the formative and later years of the Turkish Republic. The new genres adopted from Europe and, to a lesser extent, from the United States include the novel, the short story, the stage play, and the essay. The reviews collected in this volume reflect the way in which these genres developed and matured within their new milieu of Turkish letters. Establishing each book in its literary, social, and cultural Turkish context, Halman then addresses the work`s more international or universal importance. Written over a period of four decades, these reviews illuminate the careers of many writers from… [detailed...]

Henry James
The Turn of the Screw

1994 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: The new governess is in sole charge of two orphan children. Although they are both remarkably well-behaved, intelligent and affectionate, she becomes increasingly uneasy. Especially after she sees a stranger seemingly in search of something - or someone, a man whom she discovers is dead, like her predecessor. She then must fight a frightening battle for her pupils and against the forces of evil, a battle in which her victory will be even more terrible. `The Turn of the Screw` is a subtle and unconventional ghost story that concentrates on the psychological rather than the actual. It is open to widely different interpretations. Are the ghosts a real danger to the children or merely imagined by a lonely and susceptible woman? But what is certain is that the novel exerts a chilly and lasting power over the reader`s imagination. Формат: 11 см х 18 см. [detailed...]

The Turn: Integration of Information Seeking and Retrieval in Context (The Information Retrieval Series)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Turn analyzes the research of information seeking and retrieval (IS&,R) and proposes a new direction of integrating research in these two areas: the fields should turn off their separate and narrow paths and construct a new avenue of research. An essential direction for this avenue is context as given in the subtitle Integration of Information Seeking and Retrieval in Context. Other essential themes in the book include: IS&,R research models, frameworks and theories, search and works tasks and situations in context, interaction between humans and machines, information acquisition, relevance and information use, research design and methodology based on a structured set of explicit variables - all set into the holistic cognitive approach. The present monograph invites the reader into a construction project - there is much research to do for a contextual understanding of IS&,R. The Turn represents a wide-ranging perspective of IS&,R by providing a novel unique research framework,… [detailed...]

The Turner Book

2006 y.
Publisher: Tate Publishing &, Enterprises
Description: J.M.W.Turner was a fascinating and enigmatic figure. Both astonishingly prolific and extraordinarily innovative, he is widely regarded as the most important painter of his age, whose pictorial imagination reconciled wide-ranging intellectual concerns with audacious explorations of light and colour. The Turner Book goes beyond the usual interpretations of the artist, revealing the extraordinary self-belief and ambition that allowed him to continue steadfastly with his experimentation in the face of hostile critical attack, examining in detail key works and the techniques by which he realised them and featuring revealing extracts from his writings on art, letters and poetry. Lavishly illustrated with both well and lesser-known works and ranging over the entire course of the artist`s career, this is the essential guide to Turner`s life and work. Формат: 19 см x 24,5 см.

Mary Ellis
The Turtle Warrior: A Novel

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comFilled with tortured souls ravaged by an alcoholic Wisconsin farmer, The Turtle Warrior , Mary Relindes Ellis`s debut novel, is a depressing book. Having lied about his own military experience in WW II, John Lucas goads his eldest son, Jim, into `becoming a man` by fighting in Vietnam, wherein Jim goes missing and is presumed dead. The novel focuses almost exclusively on the dysfunctional Lucases, save for the neighboring couple that acts as surrogates to the children. The townspeople note: `John Lucas walked their streets like a film character, haunting them when they saw him in the bar, working at the mill, or driving on the road. He was a wrong turn personified. A wrong turn they might have taken, might still take.` Since Ellis is at her strongest with the first-person narratives of the rest of the nuclear family, and often writes eloquent prose, it is disappointing to have John`s point of view glossed over with exposition, since he ultimately destroyed his own… [detailed...]

Medina Lasansky
The Tuscany of Our Dreams: Mussolini to Agritourism

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: D. Medina Lasansky`s book should be read by all devotees of the `sweet Tuscany for eye and soul` savored in villas equipped with swimming pools, pasta-making machines, and books on Piero della Francesca. It gives ample, incontrovertible evidence that visitors to `sweet Tuscan` owe their own culinary and aesthetic pleasures to the Fascist programs of rural renewal instituted under Benito Mussolini. Lasansky turns the clock back to look at a region of small farmers being pressured to increase productivity under a Fascist campaign to make Italy self-sufficient and patriotic. The policies succeeded in fusing rural work and culture into a seamless entity quickly given yet greater worth by the discovery of proto-Modern beauty in the Tuscan landscape and vernacular architecture. This book takes the structure of a documentary film as it follows the subsequent history of the real and imagined Tuscany. Large photographs, many reproduced for the first time, set the scene for discussions… [detailed...]
