Finding You, Finding Me


Book Description

You're not supposed to find love in the middle of a war, and definitely not with someone in your same company. Corporal Henry Iverson is 2nd Platoon's Doc. He loves his job, even if the guys don't quite love him back. Uneasy with the "company queer," Henry is on the outs of everything, except when they need his help. He's used to being lonely, though, and he's got the tough skin to prove it. Private Will Rollins joined the Army to get away from everything and everyone, but most especially from himself. Five thousand miles away, about to leap out of a plane over Utah Beach on D-Day, Will knows he's missing something in his life, but he told himself he wouldn't think about that. Not ever again. When the jump doesn't go as planned, Henry finds Will - a man he barely knows from another platoon - injured behind enemy lines, and it's up to him to get Will to safety, despite the raging war and Will's sudden amnesia... and Will's out-of-seeming-nowhere searing attraction to Henry. The war doesn't stop for two men, though, not for a moment. Stuck between endless battles and a world that shuns their form of love, Will and Henry must fight to survive the war and fight for each other, though everything stands in their way.

Ivan Poldauf: Sebrané spisy. Svazek III (English papers)


Book Description

Jedná se o třetí – a poslední – svazek kritické edice sebraných spisů Ivana Poldaufa (1915–1984), významného českého lingvisty, anglisty, bohemisty a lexikografa, zakladatele anglistiky na FF UP v Olomouci (působil zde v letech 1949–1961) a později profesora Karlovy Univerzity. Zatímco první dva svazky Poldaufových Sebraných spisů (vydané stejným kolektivem autorů v r. 2016 a 2018) zahrnovaly jeho česky psané práce lingvistické, lexikografické s obecně lingvistickým přesahem a úvahy o stavu jazykovědy, doposud dostupné pouze na stránkách českých lingvistických časopisů a sborníků z konferencí, třetí svazek se zaměřuje na jeho práce psané anglicky, které podobně jako jeho česky psané práce nejsou nikde jinde dostupné v ucelené podobě. Třetí svazek tak kromě české lingvistické obce může oslovit i mezinárodní publikum. K tomuto účelu práce zahrnuje anglicky psaný úvod, který představí osobnost I. Poldaufa. This monograph is the third and last volume of the critical edition of the linguistic papers of Ivan Poldauf, a prominent Czech linguist and lexicographer, the founder of English Studies at Palacký University Olomouc, and later a professor at Charles University in Prague. Ivan Poldauf (15 September 1915 – 9 August 1984) was an Anglicist and a Bohemist whose scope of interests was incredibly broad, ranging from theoretical linguistics (his works cover all levels of language representation) to applied linguistics. The third volume comprises his works published in English, covering 34 years of his career between 1950 and 1984.
