One, No One, and One Hundred Thousand (Pirandello Luigi)(Paperback)

358 Kč

* Uváděná cena platí pro 09.05.2024

After all, the "Moscarda" he believed himself to be was different when he was alone, or with his wife, his tenant, or his friends. And there were hundreds--no, thousands--of additional Moscardas in the minds of everyone who had met or heard of him.Moscarda grappled with this new knowledge: that he was not who he thought he was, nor who anyone else thought he was. And the people around him? They were not who he thought they were either.So he decided, in his own words, to "...ﬁnd out who I was, at least to those closest to me, acquaintances so-called, and to amuse myself by maliciously decomposing the I that I was to them." What follows is a series of experiments, meant to befuddle and confuse those around him and prove that he was not, in fact, who they believed him to be.Written by Nobel Laureate Luigi Pirandello over the course of 15 years, One, None, and

What is the meaning of our existence? From a human perspective, life may seem chaotic and full of contradictions. However, these contradictions are not at odds with each other, but rather they complement one another. Life doesn't recognize individuals, it recognizes our souls and our presence in the world. The days turn into nights, and the nights turn into days, and in an instant, light and darkness become one. Our purpose as three-dimensional beings is to be awake and aware. But we often get lost in our own world and forget the essence of life. To gain more insight and understanding, it's better to start from the surface. We must accept where we are and delve into the subtlety that the surface holds. By exploring the depths of the surface, you will find peace within yourself, from your body to your actions. In these letters, I hope to awaken humanity to the realization that

In a society where a comic equates with knockabout amusement for children, the sudden pre-eminence of adult comics, on everything from political satire to erotic fantasy, has predictably attracted an enormous amount of attention.Adult comics are part of the cultural landscape in a way that would have been unimaginable a decade ago.

He takes in the pioneering titles pre-First World War, the underground 'comix' of the 1960s and 1970s, 'fandom' in the 1970s and 1980s, and the boom of the 1980s and 1990s (including 'graphic novels' and Viz.).

Bike Lanes Are White Lanes: Bicycle Advocacy and Urban Planning (Hoffmann Melody L.)(Paperback)

507 Kč

* Uváděná cena platí pro 09.05.2024

The number of bicyclists is increasing in the United States, especially among the working class and people of color. In contrast to the demographics of bicyclists in the United States, advocacy for bicycling has focused mainly on the interests of white upwardly mobile bicyclists, leading to neighborhood conflicts and accusations of racist planning. In Bike Lanes Are White Lanes scholar Melody L. Hoffmann argues that the bicycle has varied cultural meaning as a "rolling signifier." That is, the bicycle's meaning changes in different spaces, with different people, and in different cultures. The rolling signification of the bicycle contributes to building community, influences gentrifying urban planning, and upholds systemic race and class barriers. In this study of three prominent U.S. cities--Milwaukee, Portland, and Minneapolis--Hoffmann examines how the burgeoning
