Book Synopsis Oxford Dictionary of Reference and Allusion by : Andrew Delahunty
Download or read book Oxford Dictionary of Reference and Allusion written by Andrew Delahunty and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allusions are a marvelous literary shorthand. A miser is a Scrooge, a strong man a Samson, a beautiful woman a modern-day Helen of Troy. From classical mythology to modern movies and TV shows, this revised and updated third edition explains the meanings of more than 2,000 allusions in use in modern English, from Abaddon to Zorro, Tartarus to Tarzan, and Rambo to Rubens. Based on an extensive reading program that has identified the most commonly used allusions, this fascinating volume includes numerous quotations to illustrate usage, drawn from sources ranging from Thomas Hardy and Charles Dickens to Bridget Jones's Diary. In addition, the dictionary includes a useful thematic index, so that readers not only can look up Medea to find out how her name is used as an allusion, but also can look up the theme of "Revenge" and find, alongside Medea, entries for other figures used to allude to revenge, such as The Furies or The Count of Monte Cristo. Hailed by Library Journal as "wonderfully conceived and extraordinarily useful," this superb reference--now available in paperback--will appeal to anyone who enjoys language in all its variety. It is especially useful for students and writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 1,900 entries. Allusions form a colourful extension to the English language, drawing on our collective knowledge of literature, mythology, and the Bible to give us a literary shorthand for describing people, places, and events. So a cunning crook is an Artful Dodger, a daydreamer is like Billy Liar, a powerful woman is a modern-day Amazon. This absorbing and accessible A-Z explains the meanings of allusions in modern English. Fascinating to browse through, the book is based on an extensive reading programme that has identified the most commonly-used allusions. For the third edition all entries have been reviewed, revised, and thoroughly updated to ensure the consistency of coverage of allusions and references. New to this edition is the inclusion within each entry of a short summary definition for the allusion or reference, ideal for quick reference, and at least one illustrative citation from a wide range of source materials in almost every entry. The Oxford Dictionary of Reference and Allusion is both a useful and user-friendly reference work for students of English literature and language, as well as for non-native English speakers for aid with unusual references, and an absorbing volume for all lovers of literature and culture in general.

Book Synopsis Entering Hekate's Cave by : Cyndi Brannen
Download or read book Entering Hekate's Cave written by Cyndi Brannen and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2023 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth spiritual journey through the truths and traumas of one's past to a rebirth and renewal of personal wholeness. To the ancients, the goddess Hekate symbolized the inner journey back to the soul. Indeed, ancient philosophers identified her as Anima Mundi, the "soul of the world." As such, she connects many archetypes associated with the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. From her role as protector of roadways to her power as the bringer of death, she offers us keys for healing. Incorporating her personal experiences with those of her students, Cyndi Brannen weaves a supporting circle around the reader as they start their path towards soulful living, culminating in rebirth. Blending symbolism, transcendent experiences, dreams, and natural magic with sound psychological theories and practices, Entering Hekate's Cave guides the reader safely through the journey back to the soul.
Book Synopsis Adventure Psychology by : Paula Reid
Download or read book Adventure Psychology written by Paula Reid and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years a new set of psychological principles has emerged from research investigating adventure and adventurous activities. Adventure involves a special type of physical activity in natural contexts where participants voluntarily participate in experiences where the environment and activity are challenging, perhaps dangerous and potentially life threatening. To go on an adventure is to participate in an enduring event requiring sustainable effort, where effective performance is measured not only by success but also by survival. This book brings together the emerging literature in ‘Adventure Psychology’ that supports enduring performance and wellbeing. The first section examines sustaining performance and wellbeing. The second section studies the transformative aspect of adventure. Adventure Psychology is of use in everyday life and the techniques and understandings can help people and business prepare for the future. This book will help us all thrive despite adversity, volatility and uncertainty. Written for researchers this book will also be useful for trainers, educators and students of sport, performance and organisational psychology as well as adventurers and endurance athletes. Adventure Psychology is designed to meet the needs of specialists across a variety of fields but importantly also to be accessible and applicable for those wanting to live life fully — to realise our full potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mark of Zorro - Johnston McCulley - Timid Don Diego Vega grows faint at even the mention of bloodshed and would rather read poetry than defend his own honor. No one suspects that the effete aristocrat is living a double life as Zorro the fox, bold fighter of injustice, whose sword is ever ready to defend the poor and oppressed against a corrupt governor and his merciless army. Zorro's charade fools even the spirited Lolita Pulido, whose father forces her to endure the listless wooing of Don Diego while her heart belongs to the masked hero who laughs in the face of danger.This lighthearted tale of the Robin Hood of Old California unfolds as a suspenseful romp across Los Angeles of the 1820s. Loaded with colorful characters and historic atmosphere, recounted in direct and unpretentious prose, the pulp adventure offers a winning balance of action, comedy, and romance. This edition reprints the original 1919 story, published serially as "The Curse of Capistrano," which launched the Zorro legend. Scores of sequels followed, along with movie and television versions, all inspired by this swashbuckling classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mark of Zorro! They call him El Zorro, the Fox. Tyrants and villains call him an outlaw. But to the people of old California he is a hero defending the innocent with a sword in his hand and a smile upon his lips. None suspect that behind the mask of Zorro hids Don Diego de la Vega, the only son of a wealthy landowner. Riding through the night, Zorro leaves behind his own legendary signature: the Mark of the Z! The Witch's Curse Twenty years ago, during a fearsome hurricane, an innocent woman was left to die on the remote island of San Nicholas. As the ship pulled away, leaving her to face the fury of the storm, she screamed a curse on those who had abandoned her, vowing to have her revenge upon them even if she had to return from death itself. Don Diego had always thought the witch of San Nicholas nothing more than a colorful legend--until a mysterious white-haired crone began terrorizing the pueblo of Los Angeles. The frightening apparition appears without warning and stikes without mercy, making her victims vanish as if by magic. Has the witch of San Nicholas truly returned from her watery grave? Only Zorro can uncover the truth--before the witch's curse claims Zorro's own father!
