Fischerova Sylva (47 results)

paperback. Condition: Very Good.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sylva Fischerova is one of the most formidable Czech poets of her generation. A distinguished classicist who teaches at Charles University in Prague, she writes poetry with a vivid imagination as well as historical reach, and was first published in English as a young poet by Bloodaxe in 1990. Her poetry moves in and out of historical events, with an understanding and loving eye on our frailties as well as our corruptive acts, against the backdrop of her commanding sense of space and time, and 'makes beauty from monsters'. Mixing semantic and sonorous sense, her poems come to life through metamorphosed moments, showing that nothing can be taken literally in a world 'endowed with sense and meaning'.…

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Cud to dziesiec historii mniej lub bardziej powaznych, ktore obrazuja czeska mentalnosc. Umieszczone zostaly w realiach ostatnich trzydziestu lat. Czytelnik znajdzie tu sytuacje, jakie zna z wlasnego zycia: imprezy przy beczce piwa, nie zawsze pozadane spotkania, uporzadkowanie biblioteki ojca, szpitalne rozmowy na ginekologii, najblizszych. Bohaterka tej ksiazki mowi o cudach, ale nie znaczy, ze w cuda wierzy. Fischerova w prozie nie przestaje byc poetka. Operuje jezykiem potocznym i pisze o codziennosci, jednak opowiesci te maja wymiar metafizyczny i filozoficzny. …

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Na povidkach Pasaze Sylvy Fischerove (1963) se mi libi, jak se v nich to mnohe, co autorka vi a zna ze sve prace odborne, ustrojne spojuje s tim, co je vlastni jen beletrii: s pusobive zachycenym detailem a s presnym zaznamem videneho ci slyseneho. Nalehavost nekterych povidek (Dalov, Otcove) svedci o tom, ze musely byt napsany, ze v nich nejde "jen" o literaturu, ale o zivotne dulezite zachyceni neceho osobne podstatneho, co autorka nemuze nechat odplynout ze sve pameti jen tak do nenavratna zapomneni. Sylva Fischerova - ocenovana dosud predevsim jako basnirka - se touto knihou zarazuje mezi nejzajimavejsi ceske prozaiky soucasnosti - Jan Sulc.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book blurs the line between high and low culture throughout literary history. The common story in literary studies is that the emergence of popular and junk literature is related to the emergence of modern society due to the rise of literacy and the shortening of workdays. Ancient Weeds upends this misconception by demonstrating that antiquity had its fair share of literary pieces that fit the definition of popular, trivial, and junk literature. The authors analyze artifacts such as the ancient Egyptian Turin Papyrus, ancient love novels, Christian hagiographies and passion plays, lives of Jesus and Marian hymns, Byzantine parodies of liturgical procedure, Old Norse tales and lying sagas, Arabic maqams, and Spanish blind romances. Through numerous excerpts, it becomes clear that the line between junk and high literature is thinner than it seems. They reveal how seemingly low themes such as sex and violence often overlap with the themes of high literature. In many cases, low literature is more imaginative and subversive than canonical texts, and bizarreness and non-conformity do not necessarily equate to the ephemerality of a work. As Ancient Weeds shows, thousands of years after it was written, low literature can still be a great source of entertainment today.
