Download or read book Sophocles written by Jacques Jouanna and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, for the first time in English, is celebrated French classicist Jacques Jouanna's magisterial account of the life and work of Sophocles. Exhaustive and authoritative, this acclaimed book combines biography and detailed studies of Sophocles' plays, all set in the rich context of classical Greek tragedy and the political, social, religious, and cultural world of Athens's greatest age, the fifth century. Sophocles was the commanding figure of his day. The author of Oedipus Rex and Antigone, he was not only the leading dramatist but also a distinguished politician, military commander, and religious figure. And yet the evidence about his life has, until now, been fragmentary. Reconstructing a lost literary world, Jouanna has finally assembled all the available information, culled from inscriptions, archaeological evidence, and later sources. He also offers a huge range of new interpretations, from his emphasis on the significance of Sophocles' political and military offices (previously often seen as honorary) to his analysis of Sophocles' plays in the mythic and literary context of fifth-century drama. Written for scholars, students, and general readers, this book will interest anyone who wants to know more about Greek drama in general and Sophocles in particular. With an extensive bibliography and useful summaries not only of Sophocles' extant plays but also, uniquely, of the fragments of plays that have been partially lost, it will be a standard reference in classical studies for years to come.

Book Synopsis Let The Music Play: New Notes For Trivia by : Rudolph Schilli
Download or read book Let The Music Play: New Notes For Trivia written by Rudolph Schilli and published by BookLocker.com. This book was released on 2022-04-10 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a new and exciting variant of trivia games. Rather than just having a mundane question and answer session, this book will introduce you to multi-dimensional "techno-trivia". This technique uses your smart phone, music and blue tooth technology to give musical clues that may help the audience to achieve the correct trivia answer in a more exciting way. This approach can help both the novice and more experienced, and often brilliant, trivia aficionado. Using this system, the question is asked and while everyone contemplates the answer, a song is played. The song's title, the song's artist and even the song's lyrics can be clues leading to the answer. If you don't immediately know the answer, this analysis of the song can help. This produces a multichannel approach that is more complex and entertaining than the commonplace and more ordinary contest. This "techno-trivia" can be played by large groups, small groups, and even individuals. It is a more perfect game that can be played anytime, for example: during a beach trip paralyzed by rain, dinner parties with your friends, or during any future 'lock-down' of society!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Often considered alienated from mainstream culture and consigned to negative environments, Afro-American writers have created alternative spatial and geographical metaphors to develop a positive sense of individual and cultural identity. Melvin Dixon demonstrates how three principal figures of the land--the wilderness, the underground, and the mountaintop--have become places of refuge and cultural revitalization for the performance of identity, from early slave songs and fugitive narratives to modern and contemporary fiction"--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Faces of Silence in Ancient Greek Literature by : Efi Papadodima
Download or read book Faces of Silence in Ancient Greek Literature written by Efi Papadodima and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume offers new insights into the intricate theme of silence in Greek literature, especially drama. Even though the topic has received respectable attention in recent years, it still lends itself to further inquiry, which embraces silence's very essence and boundaries; its applications and effects in particular texts or genres; and some of its technical features and qualities. The particular topics discussed extend to all these three areas of inquiry, by looking into: silence's possible role in the performance of epic and lyric; its impact on the workings of praise-poetry; its distinct deployments in our five complete ancient novels; Aristophanic, comic and otherwise, silences; the vocabulary of the unspeakable in tragedy; the connections of tragic silence to power, authority, resistance, and motivation; female tragic silences and their transcendence, against the background of male oppression or domination; famous tragic silences as expressions of the ritualized isolation of the individual from both human and divine society. The emerging insights are valuable for the broader interpretation of the relevant texts, as well as for the fuller understanding of central values and practices of the society that created them.
Book Synopsis Can't I Love What I Criticize? by : Susan Neal Mayberry
Download or read book Can't I Love What I Criticize? written by Susan Neal Mayberry and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a close look at all the key male figures in Toni Morrison’s eight novels, this book explores Morrison’s admitted, but critically neglected, interest in the relationships between African American men and women and the “axes” on which these relationships turn. Most Morrison scholarship deals with her female characters.Can’t I Love What I Criticize?offers a response to this imbalance and to Morrison’s call for more work on men, who remain, in her words, “outside of that little community value thing.” The book also considers the barriers between black men and women thrown up by their participation in a larger, historically racist culture of competition, ownership, sexual repression, and fixed ideals about physical beauty and romantic love. Black women, Morrison says, bear their crosses “extremely well,” and black men, although they have been routinely emasculated by “white men, period,” have managed to maintain a feisty “magic” that everybody wants but nobody else has. Understanding Morrison’s treatment of her male characters, says Susan Mayberry, becomes crucial to grasping her success in “countering the damage done by a spectrum of sometimes misguided isms”--including white American feminism. Morrison’s version of masculinity suggests that black men have “successfully retained their special vitality in spite of white male resistance” and that “their connections to black women have saved their lives.” To single out her men is not to negate the preeminence of her women; rather, it is to recognize the interconnectedness and balance between them.

Book excerpt: AN EXCITING YOUNG WRITER HITTING HER STRIDE AN INTOXICATING NOVEL ABOUT LOVE, LEGENDS AND THE SEA When we published Carolin's first novel, Dim, two years ago, all the reviewers said this was a writer to watch. Well, have a look. Here's Shark Song. Here is Carolin's rich, poetic, sensuous prose serving up a story of a boy and a girl ... and a boy and a boy ... a lost island, a lost father, and a magical journey along Australia's eastern coastline. Kel was born on an island in the Pacific. But during a savage hurricaine her parents were killed, and she was taken by a white family to live in Australia. Now she's old enough to want to know the truth: about where she was born, about her real parents,and the truth about her sinister foster father and brothers. Ajax is a surfer. He's always lived by the sea. He's good-looking, the world (or at least all the girls in it) is at his feet -- but he is plagued by doubt. What is he doing with his life? What is he doing hanging out with Karen, the hottest surfer chick around? Some guys would be happy, but Ajax wants more. And then he meets Kel, and nothing else seems to matter. So when Kel decides she's leaving to discover her truth, Ajax has no choice but to follow. He doesn't have many clues, but he does receive the gift of a magical necklace of shells. Each shell contains a dream of the past, of the island where Kel was born. There are dark secrets in Kel's past, and as he blunders on after her, Ajax gets tantalising -- and sometimes frightening -- glimpses of them. The danger lies not only in the past. In the present Kel's foster brothers are looking for her too. They have their own secrets, and their own mission. Window unfolds her story in beautiful, original and mesmerising language, incorporating Polynesian myths into the story of Ajax and Kel, and suffused with the wonder of the sea. This is no ordinary love story, and its ending will surprise you. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Carolin Window grew up in Sydney. She has a university honours degree and worked in educational publishing for a period. Then several years ago she threw in the regular job and the Sydney lifestyle to go bush, travel and write. She ended up in far north Queensland, where she has worked on boats in the Coral Sea and the Great Barrier Reef for the past two years while writing Shark Song. In recent months she has moved south and relocated to Brisbane. Random House published her fantastic and fantastical first novel, Dim, the story of a girl able to throw her voice like a lyrebird and who is blessed (or is it cursed?) with nine lives, in 1996. SELLING POINTS: ** An immensely talented young writer (she's barely into her 30s) building on the critical success of her first novel. ** For those who found Dim difficult, Shark Song presents a cleaner narrative. Window is really hitting her stride in a big way with this second novel. ** A different kind of love story played out up and down the east coast of Australia. ** A must for all sea-lovers: some of the most beautiful, magical and sensual writing about the pleasures -- and terrors -- of the sea you will ever read. ** Genuine Australian magic realism. Magical shells that hold dreams, dreams that tell truths about the past and the present, portents and visions. ** Incorporates Polynesians legends of the sea. No other Australian fiction writer has explored this territory. Window's treatment of Polynesian culture -- such as the faketeli, the transvestite Polynesian youth, and the legend of the shark god of love -- is sensitive and revealing. ** Window has a unique and intensely poetic style. Her prose shimmers. There is nothing like it. ** Great reviews for DIM: 'This is a daring, imaginative first novel, written with considerable brio' SUN-HERALD (SYDNEY) 'a fantastical account of the twisted, black void between the worlds of good and evil ... There is a rhythmic beauty to Dim, a terse, poetic, spell
