Book Synopsis Manuscripts Don't Burn by : Julie A. E. Curtis
Download or read book Manuscripts Don't Burn written by Julie A. E. Curtis and published by Bloomsbury UK. This book was released on 1991 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his own lifetime, Russian novelist and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov was scarcely published. A quarter of a century after his death, his novel, "The Master and the Margarita", has become a worldwide bestseller.;In this book, J.A.E. Curtis presents a chronicle of Bulgakov's life. She is the only Westerner to have been granted access to either his or his wife's diaries which record the nightmarish precariousness of life during the Stalinist purges. She combines this with extracts from letters to and from Bulgakov and with her own commentary. She also includes letters to Stalin, in which Bulgalov pleads to be allowed to emigrate; letters to his siblings; intimate notes to his second and third wives; and letters to and from other writers such as Gorky and Zamyatin.
Book Synopsis The Alternative Augustan Age by : Josiah Osgood
Download or read book The Alternative Augustan Age written by Josiah Osgood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The princeps Augustus (63 BCE - 14 CE), recognized as the first of the Roman emperors, looms large in the teaching and writing of Roman history. Major political, literary, and artistic developments alike are attributed to him. This book deliberately and provocatively shifts the focus off Augustus while still looking at events of his time. Contributors uncover the perspectives and contributions of a range of individuals other than the princeps. Not all thought they were living in the "Augustan Age." Not all took their cues from Augustus. In their self-display or ideas for reform, some anticipated Augustus. Others found ways to oppose him that also helped to shape the future of their community. The volume challenges the very idea of an "Augustan Age" by breaking down traditional turning points and showing the continuous experimentation and development of these years to be in continuity with earlier Roman culture. In showcasing absences of Augustus and giving other figures their due, the papers here make a seemingly familiar period startlingly new.
Book Synopsis Die Hinwendung Konstantins Zum Christentum by : Nina Lutz
Download or read book Die Hinwendung Konstantins Zum Christentum written by Nina Lutz and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2012 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Frühgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,7, Universität Kassel (Geschichte), Veranstaltung: Seminar "Das Römische Reich", Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Flavius Valerius Constantinus (270-337 n. Chr.), bekannt als Konstantin der Große 2, war der erste römische Kaiser, der sich dem Christentum zuwandte, und durch dessen Privilegien dieses zur Staatsreligion wurde. Seine Bekehrung wird von den christlichen Autoren auf seine Vision vor der entscheidenden Schlacht am 28. Oktober 312 n. Chr. an der Milvischen Brücke zurückgeführt 3 . Hier setzt das Thema der vorliegenden Arbeit an. Sie geht der Frage nach, ob es wirklich eine Bekehrung des Kaisers gegeben hat, und ob die Schlacht an der Milvischen Brücke zur Konstantinischen Wende geführt hat. Hierzu wird sowohl das zeitliche Geschehen an der Milvischen Brücke wie auch das Edikt von Mailand betrachtet. Der Donatistenstreit, die militärisch ausgetragene Machtfrage zwischen Konstantin und Licinius im Jahre 316 n. Chr. sowie die Schlacht gegen Licinius 324 n. Chr. bei Adrianopel werden ausgeklammert, da sie den Rahmen dieser Ausarbeitung sprengen würden. Zur weiteren Fortführung wird im Geschehen der Jahre 321-337 n. Chr. wieder angesetzt. Angebliche Zeugnisse der Hinwendung werden dargelegt, um abschließend ein Fazit ziehen zu können, und ein zusammenfassendes Ergebnis zu erzielen. Die Quellenlage ist günstig. Die Kirchenschreiber bieten eine nicht unwesentliche Zahl von Reden, Briefen und Erlassen des Kaisers, und da der Schwerpunkt der Konstantin-Forschung im Verhältnis des Kaisers zum Christentum liegt, werden die zeitgenössischen Quellen von Eusebius 4 und Laktanz 5 auf der Suche nach Antworten helfen. Auch der Forschungsstand zu dieser Materie ist vielfältig, es gibt eine große Fülle von späten Erzählungen. Zu akzentuieren sind hierbei vor allem die Schriften von Klaus Martin Girardet 6 sowie von Alexander Demandt 7 .

Book Synopsis Wings by : Mikhail Alekseevich Kuzmin
Download or read book Wings written by Mikhail Alekseevich Kuzmin and published by Hesperus Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key text in the history of gay literature, Wings was published in 1906 to the scandalized reaction of contemporary society and the generations which followed. Its central theme of aestheticized sensuality has drawn comparisons with the work of contemporaries Oscar Wilde and André Gide. The young Vanya Smurov is deeply attached to his mentor, Dr. Larion Stroop, and to the world of Renaissance art which the latter reveals to him. Initially appalled by the sudden discovery of Stroop's homosexual leanings, Vanya abandons him to pursue a "normal" heterosexual existence. In turn disgusted by ensuing encounters, he returns to Dr. Stroop and accompanies him to Italy where he begins his real education—both in the world of art, and that of hedonism.

Book Synopsis Spectacles of Truth in Classical Greek Philosophy by : Andrea Wilson Nightingale
Download or read book Spectacles of Truth in Classical Greek Philosophy written by Andrea Wilson Nightingale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-08-12 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fourth-century Greece (BCE), the debate over the nature of philosophy generated a novel claim: that the highest form of wisdom is theoria, the rational 'vision' of metaphysical truths (the 'spectator theory of knowledge'). This 2004 book offers an original analysis of the construction of 'theoretical' philosophy in fourth-century Greece. In the effort to conceptualise and legitimise theoretical philosophy, the philosophers turned to a venerable cultural practice: theoria (state pilgrimage). In this practice, an individual journeyed abroad as an official witness of sacralized spectacles. This book examines the philosophic appropriation and transformation of theoria, and analyses the competing conceptions of theoretical wisdom in fourth-century philosophy. By tracing the link between traditional and philosophic theoria, this book locates the creation of theoretical philosophy in its historical context, analysing theoria as a cultural and an intellectual practice. It develops a new, interdisciplinary approach, drawing on philosophy, history and literary studies.

Book Synopsis Der Kaiser und sein Gott by : Klaus M. Girardet
Download or read book Der Kaiser und sein Gott written by Klaus M. Girardet and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-05-27 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Einstellung Konstantins des Großen zum Christengott und die Motive und Ziele der Politik des Kaisers gegenüber den Christen und ihrem Klerus sind bis heute umstritten. In Auseinandersetzung mit der Forschung der letzten 150 Jahre bietet der Autor zunächst eine in verschiedenen Einzelaspekten neue Rekonstruktion der Abwendung Konstantins vom Paganismus und seiner Hinwendung zum Christentum in den Jahren 310 bis 312. Analysiert werden sodann im Kontext des Aufstiegs zur Alleinherrschaft seine frühesten Selbstzeugnisse als Christ, seine 312 massiv einsetzende ideelle und materielle Förderung von christlichem Klerus und Kirchengemeinden und seine Rolle als ‚Bischof der Bischöfe' (episcopus episcoporum, pontifex maximus) bis zu seinem Tod 337. Dabei kommt auch seine Politik gegenüber den nichtchristlichen Religionen zur Sprache. Maßgebend war, so zeigt sich, nicht der Gedanke der ‚Toleranz', sondern angesichts der überwältigend großen Mehrheit der Nichtchristen in den Führungsschichten von Armee und Gesellschaft und in der Reichsbevölkerung insgesamt der Gesichtspunkt der ordnungspolitischen Opportunität. Konstantin strebte keine Parität, keinen Pluralismus, keine Koexistenz der Religionen an: das Christentum sollte zur alleinigen Reichs- und Weltreligion werden.
