Texto completoResumen
Despite various global and local economic crises, the shift of some readers to screen reading, growing online shopping habits, and the shorter time spent on reading books, physical bookstores are able to change and retain their customers. This research is a continuation of a 2013 study in order to capture the current situation and identify the changes that have taken place in Lithuanian physical bookstores over the past five years. During the research, the list of bookstores operating in Lithuania compiled in 2013 was updated and clarified, and an analysis of the collected data and comparison with the data of 2013 were performed. The results showed that from 2013 to 2018 the number of bookstores in Lithuania decreased by 18.8%, to 168 units. On average, the number of inhabitants per Lithuanian bookstore increased by 16.2% and reached 16,720 inhabitants per bookstore; the number of municipalities with no bookstores at all increased to 15 (9 in 2013). The largest Lithuanian bookstore networks remained the same: Vaga and Pegasas, which maintained almost the same number of bookstores – 33 bookstores at the end of 2018. The number of medium-sized bookstore networks decreased, and only one of the nine small bookstore networks (2–3 bookstores), which owned two bookstores in 2013, remained. Such changes show that the two major bookstore networks Vaga and Pegasas are strengthening their market position. Calculated by the number of bookstores, in 2018 they already ran 39% of the market. The range of available books in physical Lithuanian bookstores has decreased – from an average 9 thousand titles in 2013 up to 6 thousand titles in 2018. It seems that the 2004–2008 race between physical bookstores for the largest range of book titles in the past is now witnessing an increase in the choice of additional goods in bookstores, sometimes even exceeding their book sales. The decrease and change in the number and range of physical bookstores in Lithuania since 2008 was due to several reasons – from the economic crisis at that time, the continuing decline of the population to the decline of book reading habits, and the transition of some readers to on-screen reading and online shopping.

Sisyphe Bookstore has emerged as a new force today, breaking the dormant state of physical bookstores. As a dark horse in the marketing industry, Sisyphe Bookstore inevitably has its own advantages and disadvantages. Through Sisyphe Bookstore has emerged as a new force, breaking the flagging situation of physical bookstores. As a dark horse in the marketing industry, Sisyphe Bookstore inevitably has its own advantages and disadvantages. Through SWOT analysis, with the help of some literature, this paper analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats existing in the operation process of Sisyphe Bookstore. The result shows that Sisyphe Bookstore has advantages such as its healing slogan, diversity of products, uniqueness of store decoration, and proper location. What needs to be improved at present are the following: the staff who have not yet reached standard conditions; the high transport cost of books; the lack of innovation in cultural and creative products; the limited rights and interests of members; and the serious mismatch between customer flow and marketing volume. Based on the results, the author provides suggestions for its development in optimizing products, reducing pricing, training staff, broadening channels, and other aspects.

The author analyses the problems of erosion of the book culture and the role of bookishness in the contemporary Western and Russian identities. While analysing the processes of disappearance and displacement of bookshops, the author presumes that culture of bookstores and communication subcultures in them cannot compete with networks and e-commerce. It is assumed that the logic of capitalism favours the progress of on-line bookstores, specialising in the serial and mass literature while independent bookstores prefer to sell intellectual, non-fiction, and academic books that are not interesting to consumer readers of mass culture. The author tries to analyse causes of private non-mass bookstores crisis. The author believes that intellectuals of 2000s were optimistic in their prognosis for the development of bookstores as spaces of cultural initiatives. By the end of 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the number of independent bookstores decreased significantly when on-line bookstores occupied their place. It is assumed that the cultures of reading, book collections, personal libraries lost the positions they held in the 20th century and even in the first decade of the 21st century. The author presumes that independent bookstores became cultural ghettos and intellectual reservations, when net bookstores became successful actors of the mass culture. In general, it is predicted that heterogeneous, regionally localised minority book cultures and reading strategies of the New Medievalism may replace the “mass” book as a cultural institution of a modern political imagined communities as elements of the dying Gutenberg Galaxy with its heterogeneous national identities.

Why does W. G. Sebald’s Austerlitz escape from the laws of fictionality and factuality? How do so many of the people and place names inside of it start so improbably with the letter A? Why do so many iterations of A—as initials, as markings, or as individual letters—appear somewhat frequently and prominently? Why does the return of the repressed coincide with the completion of a crossword puzzle taking place in a used bookstore? Why is the puzzle located in the Telegraph? Why, of all people, is the owner of the bookstore named Penelope? What role do the bookstores, museums, and libraries play? Finally, what is the question that Sebald’s Austerlitz is supposed to answer? To answer these questions, a historically problematized rereading of the text is necessary. In terms of the History of Ideas, these questions recall Walter Benjamin’s interpretation of Proust and his Arcades Project; in terms of cultural history, the rise of the crossword puzzle; and in terms of the sources behind Austerlitz, a book and a radio program that have been either ignored or underappreciated in the criticism.

This article discusses some English classics of children’s literature that have made their way into Slovenian children’s literature, become part of the national canon, and can still be bought in bookstores or borrowed in libraries. Among these rank Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Treasure Island, Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and The Chronicles of Narnia. The study also examines if the authors are fully acknowledged with the title of the original source text and if the translators names are given in the colophon.

Texto completoResumen
碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>台灣文學所<br>97<br>It is now a common experience to check out some novels from a rental bookstore.Starting as small book stands, some of them managed to develop into bright, well-furnitured rental bookstores and drew people of all walks to visit them regularly. Chain rental bookstores, in particular, become so popular that they can be found almost everywhere in Taiwan.With sophisticated interior design, quick check-out procedures and latest novels and magazines, chain rental bookstores successfully keep their customers'' patronage. This intriguing phenomenon not only concerns a common consumer experience but also reveals some typical features of popular culture. In this study, the researcher, motivated by this particular phenomenon, aims to investigate the significance of space arrangement and text materials in a chain rental bookstore.
Works of popular literature found in the rental bookstore, with their mass production, are consumer goods in essence. As products of cultural industry, these popular novels are of cultural homogeneity and high predictability. The subject of the study is some of the most popular novels available in Taiwan''s rental bookstore for the last two years. The researcher finds that these texts share at least three more characteristics in common: easy to read, novel, and surprising. The researcher believes that these texts are valuable in reflecting the social reality and offering entertainment to the general public.
Stemming from Japan, the rental bookstores in Taiwan, however, do not disappear with the improvement of economy as their Japanese counterparts did. Take Starfly Bookstore, a chain rental bookstore, for example. It used to be a humble stationery store, but with the development of computers and the Internet, it improved its traditional management strategies and gradually developed into a transnational enterprise. The key to its successful transformation lies on an exclusively-developed on-line management system, which digitizes all the business involved and therefore enables a better and quicker connection among the head office, the branches, and the customers. Such a chain rental bookstore is not just a place to store or rent popular novels. It also serves as a recreational spot for the locals and forms a virtual community in Taiwanese book rental culture. Every week, Starfly Bookstore provides a popularity ranking for each type of texts, revealing specifically the preference of their customers. Besides, they built an on-line reader community to enhance the communication of their customers, who otherwise might not have a chance to share their opinions with other readers. In this way, the rental bookstore, as a crucial medium between readers and cultural industry, presents the latest novels from various publishers to the readers and also provides readers'' feedback to the publishers efficiently. As a result, the role of readers grows significantly since they can better interact with the popular novelists. The close bond between readers and writers is unique in the Taiwanese book rental culture.

Abstract To gain access to forbidden literature, readers often needed a book merchant willing to conduct an underhanded sale. Bookdealers and their shops were, then, critical intermediaries of banned books, pamphlets, flysheets, and caricatures. With over 1,300 stores gracing 385 towns in central Europe in 1840, this extensive commercial network deployed time-tested tricks and tactics to carry out clandestine trade. Sketching a composite portrait of the owners and workers who ran these bookstores, the chapter also examines the spatial features of bookstores and print shops that enabled the smuggling of domestic and foreign print matter in Germany and Austria. The chapter also presents bookstores as talking shops: sites that invited political deliberation and intellectual exchange. Bookshops formed the nodal points of oppositional political communication.

Texto completoResumen
Abstract This chapter features translations of an illustrative sample of so-called shaheed biographies, or accounts of the lives of those fighters who died in the service of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) from the organization’s varied periodicals. Until 2007, the organization published these biographies in various print sources which were available in LeT’s bookstores and other stores which sold their publications. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the organization has discontinued publishing these sources because it has learned that scholars are using them as sources and because such biographies make it difficult for the Pakistani state to argue that the organization does not engage in jihad. This chapter furnishes translations from several such sources with an intent to provide variation across time (from the early 1990s to 2007) and across source type while also seeking to provide examples of biographies that exhibit an array of fighter motivations as well as motivations in the families who support them.

Urban space for writers and literature – the case of Piotrkowska street The most important street in Łódź plays a significant role in literature referring to the city which is well-known for its textile industry. The literary description of Piotrkowska Street is not only a belletristic account of the topography of the street, but also an evaluating element: living in Piotrowska, being at Piotrkowska, to have a shop or factory in Piotrkowska – meant (and still means) “to be on top”. It is interesting to note the metonymic presentation of Piotrkowska Street as a Łódź microspace through which one can read the history of the whole city. The literature in Piotrkowska Street functions in interesting and various ways. Due to the representative character of the street, it housed the offices of the most popular 19th and 20th century periodicals and the most fashionable bookstores. In Piotrkowska, on the famous bench, sits probably the most characteristic of Łodź’s writers – Julian Tuwim, further down the street, on the travelling trunk, sits Władysław Reymont, and by the Tourist Information Centre we can find the character from Czesław Janczarski’s book – Uszatek the Teddy Bear, the favourite character among young readers.

According to the 2001 census, the majority of Slovakia's population statistically follows the Catholic confession of Roman or Byzantine rites. In both rites, the Marian devotion has a consider- able place in religious reflection and spirituality. This study explores the religious discourse of the Marian devotion as it appears in available books and booklets on this topic. The main focus of the chapter is a comparison of the Marian discourse in Slovakia (representing a post-socialist country) and the Marian discourse in neighbouring Austria (representing a ‘Western’ country with no socialist history). For this purpose, a sample of Mariological reflections and spiritual texts was created based on their availability in all Catholic bookstores in the capital of Slovakia (Bratislava) and the capital of Austria (Vienna). The reason for this choice is that these bookstores offer books that mirror the living intellectual and religious brainstorming and reflect Christianity, in par-ticularly the pattern of the Marian discourse of the recent decades in both countries. The study comments on the absence of modern Marian literature in Slovak bookstores. The author also analyses the Marian vocabulary and topics in the both samples. The author distinguishes three existing models of the Marian discourse in Slovakia, all of traditional origin, portraying Mary as an unselfish and patient mother, Mary loving conditionally and restraining God's anger; Mary leading the legions against Satan and crushing his head. All three models are based on the traditional images of Mary and, within the Christian communities, are not understood as contradictory, but complementary. Compared to Western Christianity, the Marian discourse in Slovakia lacks two recurrent models: (1) the progressive 20th/21st century model, and (2) the traditionalist and fundamentalist mod- el. The first model has created a Marian vocabulary and contents representing a self-confident, social and communicative model of Mary. This model presents an alternative to the old models combining mild or triumphant vocabulary with mild or triumphant contents. The second model which is absent among Slovak believers is the Marian discourse of the traditionalist and fundamentalist groups of each age tolerated by official Church structures. These traditionalist and fundamentalist groups return to the old Marian vocabulary and contents that is triumphant, militant and – in this modern version – has an offensive character. This form of discourse, created as a reaction to progressive Christian groups – did not emerge in Slovakia, since there were no progressive Christian movements. Based on the research of the author, the Slovak Marian re- flection and spirituality result from traditional beliefs, having no affinity to Western progressive and traditionalist models. In this regard, it can be stated that Slovakia's isolation from the European spiritual development, which has caused traditional devotion to be fixed in its forms, is, paradoxically, continuing also after the fall of Communism in the era of religious freedom. The comparative discoursive analysis of Mariological literature in Slovakia and its Western neighbour – Austria has showed that the Slovak religious landscape is far more traditional (but not traditionalist) than the current trends in the ‘Western’ religious discourse.

Abstract This chapter explains the book business to show how publishers marketed political dissent. Rooted in the decentralized economy of the early modern era, this profession enjoyed a wide degree of autonomy that facilitated the sale of print wares. Older customs of barter and exchange served a new era of forbidden literature. The chapter surveys the hundreds of bookstores that formed central Europe’s print circuits, the commercial associations that organized their profession, the literacy rates that expanded readerships, and the mechanization of printing and transportation that fueled the growth of print markets. Commercial innovation also transformed the industry. With serialized novels, penny magazines, and politicized ephemera, the age of speculative publishing was born. It explains how publishers operated their literary underground through semiannual book fairs and other exchange associations, just as it elucidates the impact of religion, regionalism, and the absence of copyright on print circuits. Finally, it sketches the sociopolitical profile of publishers, whose urban, middle-class social status nurtured their enlightened belief in the freedom of expression.

Abstract From the Talmud to the latest collection of contemporary American Jewish writers in your local bookstore window, the anthology has been a pervasive, ubiquitous presence in Jewish literature throughout its history. The anthology may also be its oldest literary genre - if, that is, one accepts the documentary hypothesis, according to which the Pentateuch is a collection from different literary sources. Even if one does not accept the thesis, it is clear that many biblical books either are themselves collections, such as the books of Psalms or Proverbs, or tend to exhibit what might be called the “anthological habit”-that is, the tendency of gathering together discrete, sometimes conflicting retellings of stories or traditions (e.g., the two versions of the creation of woman, or analogous lists of unrelated commandments and miscellaneous laws) and preserving them side by side as though there were no difference, conflict, or ambiguity between them.

Returned to Englewood, George launches As Stable pamphlets with Gertrude Stein’s “Descriptions of Literature.” Planning other titles, George next prints Ernest Hemingway’s irreverent “Today Is Friday.” Its cover drawing by the voluble gay Jean Cocteau displeases the writer, offended to be implicated in a project involving “fairies.” Meanwhile, George briefly holds a lowly job at Brentano’s bookstore, even while proposing projects to keep him tethered to Gertrude Stein. She and George correspond frequently, but his equanimity wilts under the challenges of literary publishing. He follows modernist cultural trends, however, through the Manhattan salon of the eccentric Muriel Draper, whose bohemian gatherings approximate the daring of Paris’s Left Bank. At Draper’s, George becomes reacquainted with his Berkshire schoolmate, Lincoln Kirstein. In the fall of 1926, George is enrolled at Yale, but barely lasts the first semester. The conventionality of the male undergraduates appalls him. Instead, he plans a bookstore modeled on Sylvia Beach’s Shakespeare & Company.

This chapter recounts New York City's unprecedented growth in the midcentury as waves of dazed and seasick immigrants, driven by famine and political instability in Europe, clambered from the bowels of ships in the harbor. It follows how the city grew in a robust, headstrong fashion that the American bard celebrates. A mere two decades earlier, the intersection of the city's two busy thoroughfares, Broadway and the Bowery, was still farmland. Amidst all this urban hubbub, the chapter pays attention to one bookstore tucked away on the ground floor of the Astor House at 229 Broadway, and examines how it gained a reputation as a beacon of taste. The bookstore, owned by John Russell Bartlett and Charles Welford, had a commodious reading room. The chapter underlines that the booksellers in the Astor House were intellectuals as well as businessmen. While Welford fielded questions across a range of ancient and modern literature, Bartlett served as a resource for those interested in American history, ethnography, and philology. The chapter explores how the store attracted a circle of literary lights throughout the 1840s and became a legend in the literary world of New York by the end of the decade.

Finding a correlation between the structural features of the text and its reception has recently become a challenging task of computational linguistics. However, the correlation between the reader’s reception of a literary work and its linguistic features suffers from the ambiguity of many textual parameters, which can be considered in calculations. Concerning Russian-language literature, such a process is complicated by the lack of representative databases of reader reviews and by rather noticeable discrepancies in the methods of text data analysis. In this paper, I propose to investigate the possibility of predicting the rating of a text only by its lexical and syntactic features. To design an experiment, four steps were taken: First, a corpus of Russian novels of different genres was built. Next, the literary rating was scraped from bookstore LitRes via a devised parser. Due to the small size of the corpus, the obtained results were manually cleaned to avoid ambiguity of text ratings. Most of data preprocessing was the selection of linguistic features to be considered. 23 different parameters were extracted after designing a proper software to mine those features. The final part o f the work was focused on checking whether the lexical and syntactic parameters correlate with the texts rating and setting a proper predictive model. Random Forest, Cat Boost, Logistic, Linear Regression, and K-Nearest Neighbors algorithms were compared. Since the coefficient of determination for the regression approach had a poor value, it was decided to move on to the classification problem, which brought more significant r esults. The obtained results confirmed the existence of a correlation between the structure of texts and their ratings and shed a light on new prospects in the research of the features of the text and its perception.
