Book Synopsis Travel and Travellers from Bede to Dampier by : Geraldine Barnes with Gabrielle Singleton
Download or read book Travel and Travellers from Bede to Dampier written by Geraldine Barnes with Gabrielle Singleton and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection -- a selection of papers presented at the University of Sydney Centre for Medieval Studies workshop, ‘Travel and Cartography from Bede to the Enlightenment’ (August 22-23, 2001) – track a variety of travel narratives from the eighth century to the eighteenth. Their voyages, which extend from from the literal to the spiritual, the political, and the artistic, show how the concept of narrative mapping has changed over time, and how it encompasses cosmogony, geography, chorography, topography, and inventory. Each essay is concerned in some way with the application of the medieval geographical imagination, or with the enduring influence of that imagination upon post-medieval travel and discovery writing. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate university students and to a broad range of academics across the disciplines of literature and history. It will be of particular interest to medievalists and scholars of the early modern period and to readers of, the new (1997) scholarly journal, Studies in Travel Writing. The volume will also appeal to a more general, informed readership interested in the history of travel and the history of ideas, early contact with indigenous people, and encounters between East and West.
Book Synopsis TALES OF GIANTS FROM BRAZIL - 12 children's stories of giants from Brazil by : Anon E. Mouse
Download or read book TALES OF GIANTS FROM BRAZIL - 12 children's stories of giants from Brazil written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2017-08-27 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of Giants from Brazil is Elsie Spicer Eells’ second collection of twelve, illustrated Brazillian stories. In this volume you will find unique stories with unfamiliar titles. Stories like The Princess Of The Springs, The Fountain Of Giant Land, The Little Sister Of The Giants, The Giant’s Pupil plus eight more. When one thinks of giants in folklore, South America is not usually the region of the world that first comes to mind. We are more familiar with tales of giants in the fairy tales and folklore of the West. So, to have twelve absolutely unique stories of giants from Brazil in one volume is extra-special. For this we have Elsie Spicer-Eells to thank. As Eells puts it, “Brazil is the land of giant fruits and giant flowers. Of course it is the land of giant stories too.” It is safe to stay that storytelling was alive and well in Central and South America when the Portuguese arrived in circa AD1500. It would also be safe to say that the Portuguese brought their folk tales along with their trade. Therefore it does not take a leap of the imagination to conclude that at some point the folklore from these two cultures became entwined to form new stories – much like the mixing of the dark, almost black, waters of the Rio Negro and the brown, lighter, muddy waters of the Rio Solimoes just north of the City of Manaus. It is often claimed that this is where the Amazon River truly starts. So, find a comfy chair, sit back with a hot toddy, and enjoy these twelve unique and authentic folk stories for children.
Book Synopsis Tales of Valhalla: Norse Myths and Legends by : Martyn Whittock
Download or read book Tales of Valhalla: Norse Myths and Legends written by Martyn Whittock and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid retelling of Norse mythology that explores these legendary stories and their significance and influence on the Viking world. Valhalla and its pantheon of gods and heroes have always fascinated readers, whether it is how these tales illuminate the Viking world or influence cultural touchstones like J. R. R. Tolkien, whose Middle Earth is heavily indebted to Germanic and Norse mythology, as well as Hollywood and comic-culture. In Tales of Valhalla, the Whittocks have dramatically retold these rich stories and sets them in context within the wider Viking world. Including both myths—stories, usually religious, which explain origins, why things are as they are, the nature of the spiritual—and legends—stories which attempt to explain historical events and which may involve historical characters but which are told in a non-historical way and which often include supernatural events—Tales from Valhalla is an accessible and lively volume that brings these hallmarks of world literature to a new generation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "After examining characters widely disparate from the saga skalds, the model holds: only in the narratives having a Christian purpose do we find the link among disability, deformity, sexual aberrance, wisdom, craft, and power broken. With the would-be Icelandic saint, Gudmund the Good, disability is no longer the mark of a great man, but now appears in its modern interpretation: a character-building setback that the hero must overcome."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Thor written by Martin Arnold and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths of the Norse god Thor were preserved in the Icelandic Eddas, set down in the early Middle Ages. The bane of giants and trolls, Thor was worshipped as the last line of defence against all that threatened early Nordic society. Thor's significance persisted long after the Christian conversion and, in the mid-eighteenth century, Thor resumed a symbolic prominence among northern countries. Admired and adopted in Scandinavia and Germany, he became central to the rhetoric of national romanticism and to more belligerent assertions of nationalism. Resurrected in the latter part of the twentieth century in Marvel Magazine, Thor was further transformed into an articulation both of an anxious male sexuality and of a parallel nervousness regarding American foreign policy. Martin Arnold explores the extraordinary regard in which Thor has been held since medieval times and considers why and how his myth has been adopted, adapted and transformed.

Book Synopsis Valerie in Giantland by : Deanna Lund
Download or read book Valerie in Giantland written by Deanna Lund and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valerie in Giantland takes place ten years after our heroes crashed on the Land of the Giants. Without losing the feel and character of the original story this novel shows us a more mature group of seven and relates what has happened to them since the last episode was shown on TV. Written as a diary by Valerie, we see her more in depth as well as the other characters and how the years have made them relate to each other and their environment. There are adventures not just in the main Giant city, but at sea, in the depths of the jungle, and in a lost civilization of little people that will remind one of tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs and H. R. Haggard. They are not alone among the Giants as what happened to them happened to others and in this novel there is discovery of colonies of other "little people". You will finally learn what this land is really all about and how it relates closely to our own Earth. The reader will be reunited with Giants who made appearances in the series and will see how they tie in together in surprising ways for a major climactic ending. Actually a beginning as this book sets the scene for new adventures to come. The Sci Fi Guy, Forry Ackerman himself praises the book as being as "fast moving and exciting as an Indiana Jones adventure". Forry has been the agent for hundreds of successful authors as well as a critic and collector with an international reputation. He compares Valerie in Giantland with the "young adult fiction by Andre Norton and Robert Heinlein." Reviews "I think what we have here is a novel in the genre that would appeal to young adults like the early work of Robert A. Heinlein and Andre Norton. I was really surprised at the professionalism of it." - Forest J. Ackerman, Famous Monsters of Filmland Editor, Book Reviewer, and former agent for 460 science fiction authors. "It has a fast moving pace with the kind of strong characters favored by Heinlein and Norton. The book emphasizes a most powerful idea: the struggle to be free. At this period in our history it holds a powerful message at a time when it is needed." - Ron Rogers, Author and Reviewer. "A rollicking good action adventure yarn from start to finish. When do we see a sequel? When do we see a movie? The original series and Irwin Allen have been truly honored by this." - Robert Nichols, English Department Chair and Author.
