Discourse Analysis in Translation Studies: 94

John Benjamins Publishing Company , 2017. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. 9789027242822 Erased pencil marking to flyleaf, contents otherwise clean, shallow indent marks on rear board. In this cutting-edge volume on discourse analysis in translation studies, Munday and Zhang do exactly what they set off to deliver. And they do it masterfully. They bring together a variegated sample of well-known scholars from Eastern and Western traditions to open up new perspectives on textuality and on manifestations of ideology and identity. This book is a must for those of us who rely on discourse analysis to uncover translational interventions. It is also a most necessary reminder of the importance of a critical and systematic toolkit to penetrate social practices in today’s liquid times of post-truth. -- María Calzada Pérez, Universitat Jaume I, Castellón 157 pages.

Jerzy Miziolek, Hubert Kowalski

Chopin Among Artists and Scholars

University of Warsaw, 2010. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages. When speaking about Fryderyk Chopin (1810- 49), we tend to think of Zelazowa Wola, where he was born, of no. 12 Place Vendôme in Paris, where he spent the last months of his life, or of the church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw, the final resting place of his heart. But the place with which Chopin perhaps had the strongest ties was the campus of the University of Warsaw – a complex of buildings located at 26/28 Krakowskie Przedmiescie. Chopin lived in one of those buildings for more than ten years (1817-27), and in the years following that, until his departure for Vienna and Paris in 1830, he visited the campus almoust every day as a student of the Main School of Music, and institution that was then an integral part of the University. This book discusses those formative ten years which Chopin spent among professors and students of the University of Warsaw. Fully illustrated. 294 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
