Opis
With their powerful blend of political and aesthetic concerns, Edward W. Said’s writings have transformed the field of literary studies. This long-awaited collection of literary and cultural essays, the first since Harvard University Press published The World, the Text, and the Critic in 1983, reconfirms what no one can doubt–that Said is the most impressive, consequential, and elegant critic of our time–and offers further evidence of how much the fully engaged critical mind can contribute to the reservoir of value, thought, and action essential to our lives and our culture.
Svojom snažnom mješavinom političkih i estetskih interesa, spisi Edwarda W. Saida transformirali su polje književnih studija. Ova dugo očekivana zbirka književnih i kulturnih eseja, prva otkako je Harvard University Press objavio The World, the Text, and the Critic 1983., ponovno potvrđuje ono u što nitko ne može sumnjati – da je Said najdojmljiviji, dosljedniji i najelegantniji kritičar našeg vremena – i nudi dodatne dokaze o tome koliko potpuno angažiran kritički um može doprinijeti rezervoaru vrijednosti, misli i djelovanja koji su ključni za naše živote i našu kulturu.
