Book Synopsis The White Abacus by : Damien Broderick
Download or read book The White Abacus written by Damien Broderick and published by Gateway. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before William Shakespeare, tales were told of the Dane Ameleth whose noble father was murdered by the uncle who swiftly weds new widow Gerutha. Must Ameleth repay this crime by killing his uncle? The White Abacus dares to reconfigure the best known version of the classic tale, Shakespeare's Hamlet, to create a futuristic revenge drama with an entirely different outcome. Telmah is an inventive genius. Ophelia is no sobbing suicide but rather the impressive Warrior Rose, who shockingly revises the fate of her lover. In this exotic future history, the galaxy is open to anyone who passes through a hex gate, whether hu (augmented human) or ai (artificial mind). Telmah's close friend is the ai Ratio, newly embodied to the Real. Like all members of his asteroid tribe, Telmah is forbidden to use the hex transport system, since that would doom his rebirth. Out of this agonizing dilemma comes a feverish pursuit of truth and duty, love and near-madness, in an endlessly startling future where nothing turns out the way you expect.
Book Synopsis The Transformative Potential of Black British and British Muslim Literature by : Lisa Ahrens
Download or read book The Transformative Potential of Black British and British Muslim Literature written by Lisa Ahrens and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates power, belonging and exclusion in British society by analysing representations of the mosque, the University of Oxford, and the plantation in novels by Leila Aboulela, Robin Yassin-Kassab, Diran Adebayo, David Dabydeen, Andrea Levy, and Bernardine Evaristo. Lisa Ahrens combines Foucault's theory of heterotopia with elements of Wolfgang Iser's reader-response theory to work out Black British and British Muslim literature's potential for destabilising exclusionary boundaries. In this way, new perspectives open up on the intersections between space, power and literature, intertwining and enriching the discourses of Cultural and Literary Studies.

Book Synopsis Fields of Castile/Campos de Castilla by : Antonio Machado
Download or read book Fields of Castile/Campos de Castilla written by Antonio Machado and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master poet Antonio Machado y Ruiz is widely regarded as one of the twentieth-century’s greatest Spanish writers. His collection of poems celebrating the region of Castile made him one of the primary voices of the Generation of 1898 — a brilliant group of writers dedicated to Spain's moral and cultural rebirth after the Spanish-American War. Machado's lyrical Campos poems, tinged with nostalgic melancholy, are powerfully introspective and meditative, revealing an evolution away from his previously ornate, Modernist style. With these magnificent poems, Machado moved toward a simpler, more authentic approach that would later distinguish all of his works. This unabridged edition of Machado's landmark Campos de Castilla is presented in a dual-language format which features an excellent new translation on pages facing the Spanish original. A fully informative introduction and comprehensive notes by the translator are also included.
Download or read book Caravansary written by JS Venit and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am trying to balance silence with alarm on behalf of the subliminal because a sign is positively expressed even if the tree in which it hangs seems distant. Time corners a defiant Faust in the rural aquarium encircles Proust with catalpas in the dust of another garden the tapestry streams from the loom to keep the nervous suitors at bay coasts moan silver roars in the quilted season of its own undoing before I hand you a meaningful exemplar of love and Spring. In the sky substitution is absolute its odyssey infinite but we still have to relinquish well maybe a few children in expensive suits alone on the shore patiently waiting for the ephemeral.
Download or read book Kabuki written by and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1992-07-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While its actors made their entrace down the Flower Way over three hundred years ago, little of kabuki's repertory has been available to English readers. Not only are adequate translations difficult to produce, but also because the spoken parts of the drama constitute but a portion of that grand spectacle, English renderings often have an elliptical quality.These five plays, however, were translated from tapes made by James Brandon at actual performances, imparting to them an unusual immediacy. The superb translations are further enhanced by detailed commentary and stage directions that reflect music and sound effects as well as positions of actors on stage and their stylized gestures and posturing, all of which are such a vital part of a live performance. A concise introduction includes the history of kabuki, its religious background and ties with prostitution, its themes and playwriting systems, and its performance conventions, actors, music, and dance. Appendixes provide a fascinating focus on various sound effects and music cues in performance. More than one hundred production photographs vividly convey the action and emotion of one of the world's greatest stage arts. First published in 1975, this volume remains a classic.A reprint to the 1975 edition. Accepted into the UNESCO Collection of Representative Works, Japanese Series.
Book Synopsis Learning Latin and Greek from Antiquity to the Present by : Elizabeth P. Archibald
Download or read book Learning Latin and Greek from Antiquity to the Present written by Elizabeth P. Archibald and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a unique overview of the broad historical, geographical and social range of Latin and Greek as second languages. It elucidates the techniques of Latin and Greek instruction across time and place, and the contrasting socio-political circumstances that contributed to and resulted from this remarkably enduring field of study. Providing a counterweight to previous studies that have focused only on the experience of elite learners, the chapters explore dialogues between center and periphery, between pedagogical conservatism and societal change, between government and the governed. In addition, a number of chapters address the experience of female learners, who have often been excluded from or marginalized by earlier scholarship.
