Translating Samuel Beckett around the World (New Interpretations of Beckett in the Twenty-First Century) English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030717291 | 290 Pages | PDF EPUB | 8 MB The global reception of Samuel Beckett raises numerous questions: in which areas of the world was Beckett first translated? Why were Beckett texts sometimes slow to penetrate certain cultures? How were national literatures impacted by Beckett's oeuvre? Translating Samuel Beckett around the World brings together leading researchers in Beckett studies to discuss these questions and explore the fate of Beckett in their own societies and national languages. The current text provides ample coverage of the presence of Beckett in geographical contexts normally ignored by literary criticism, and reveals unknown aspects of the 1969 Nobel Prize winner interacting with translators of his work in a number of different countries.  Tobruk: Firecely Stand or Fighting Fall by David Mitchelhill-Green English | July 28th, 2021 | ISBN: 1922488445 | 420 pages | True EPUB | 23.18 MB Tobruk was one of the greatest Allied victories - and one of the worst Allied defeats - of the Second World War. The eight-month long 1941 siege - a defiant stand by the so-called 'Rats of Tobruk' - captured the world's attention. Conversely, the fall of Tobruk in June 1942 came a shock to the Allies in the wake of Japan's entry into the war and a string of defeats in the Far East. It rocked the foundation of Winston Churchill's premiership, revived the flagging hopes of the German people and fanned the flames of Arab unrest. It furthered Rommel's ascendency and marked a turning point in Anglo-American relations and the fight against Nazi Germany.  Time-Resolved Soft X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Molecules in the Gas and Liquid Phases by Cédric Schmidt English | EPUB | 2021 | 129 Pages | ISBN : 3030678377 | 11.4 MB This work studies the relaxation dynamics of molecules in both the gas and liquid phases after strong field ionization, using transient absorption in the soft X-rays. In particular, the thesis presents the first realization of time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy in the spectral water window with a laser-based HHG source.  Theory and Engineering of Dependable Computer Systems and Networks: Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Conference on Dependability of Computer Systems DepCoS-RELCOMEX, June 28 - July 2, 2021, Wrocław, Poland by Wojciech Zamojski English | EPUB | 2021 | 527 Pages | ISBN : 3030767728 | 54.2 MB This book contains papers on selected aspects of dependability analysis in computer systems and networks, which were chosen for discussion during the 16th DepCoS-RELCOMEX conference held in Wrocław, Poland, from June 28 to July 2, 2021.
