Selection from the forthcoming books

Dan Krátký

This book enters an established area in film studies with a formal analysis of the first six Godzilla films produced by Toho Studios in the years 1954–1965. Through the analytical tools of poetics of fiction, this book uncovers how the kaiju series stayed attractive for its viewers throughout the examined years. The main argument lies in a dialectical relationship between narrative and stylistic continuity and discontinuity. Certain aspects of the series stayed in place, others would undergo transformations and variations. The main appeal did not come simply from the fist-fighting monsters but cultural assimilation of popular genres, foreign influences, topics and narrative patterns.

The literary research of the personality of Terézia Vansová and her literary, publishing, and enlightenment activities provides a fascinating image of a woman dedicated to, at least in a little, contribute to the well-being of many, a woman with deeply anchored values, she did not only defined for herself, but she also followed within her entire life; a woman very often alone and lonely, standing out of the literary, ideological and political mainstream; a female representant of the Slovak intelligentsia, however living in close contact with the Slovak common people. Terézia Vansová was fully aware of the functionality of literary communication on the line author-reader-work and considered literature one of the tools of mass communication, thanks to which she was able to influence the value framework of the reader himself.
