Жаркая луна
12,00 ₾Современная ‘Лолита’, исполненная на стыке классических латиноамериканских стилей – ‘магического’ и ‘мистического’ реализма? Эстетский триллер? Или просто – эффектная, нервная, безупречно оригинальная проза, по словам критиков, ‘ломающая хребет читателю и захватывающая его душу с оглушительной скоростью’?
Words and Things
65,00 ₾When Ernest Gellner was his early thirties, he took it upon himself to challenge the prevailing philosophical orthodoxy of the day, Linguistic Philosophy. Finding a powerful ally in Bertrand Russell, who provided the foreword for this book, Gellner embarked on the project that was to put him on the intellectual map.
The first determined attempt to state the premises and operational rules of the movement, Words and Things remains philosophy’s most devastating attack on a conventional wisdom to this day.
In Patagonia
30,00 ₾With its unique, roving structure and beautiful descriptions, In Patagonia offers an original take on the age-old adventure tale.
