Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander the Great, according to Plutarch, carried on his campaigns a copy of the Iliad, kept alongside a dagger; on a more pronounced ideological level, ancient Romans looked to the Aeneid as an argument for imperialism. In this major reinterpretation of epic poetry beginning with Virgil, David Quint explores the political context and meanings of key works in Western literature. He divides the history of the genre into two political traditions: the Virgilian epics of conquest and empire that take the victors' side (the Aeneid itself, Camoes's Lusíadas, Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata) and the countervailing epic of the defeated and of republican liberty (Lucan's Pharsalia, Ercilla's Araucana, and d'Aubigné's Les tragiques). These traditions produce opposing ideas of historical narrative: a linear, teleological narrative that belongs to the imperial conquerors, and an episodic and open-ended narrative identified with "romance," the story told of and by the defeated. Quint situates Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained within these rival traditions. He extends his political analysis to the scholarly revival of medieval epic in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and to Sergei Eisenstein's epic film, Alexander Nevsky. Attending both to the topical contexts of individual poems and to the larger historical development of the epic genre, Epic and Empire provides new models for exploring the relationship between ideology and literary form.

This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre - un vrai joyau de spiritualité - est le commentaire doctrinal et pratique du « Chemin de la Perfection », écrit par la grande Maîtresse de vie spirituelle, Sainte Thérèse de Jésus, réformatrice du Carmel.Ce commentaire est le fruit de nombreuses années de méditation personnelle de l'auteur, ainsi que le produit de son expérience personnelle des âmes. Ses pensées étaient au préalable traduites en substance vivante, avant d'être consignées dans ses écrits. Bien des fois, nous avons vu, au cours des heures consacrées à l'oraison, le « Chemin de la Perfection » entre les mains du R. P. Gabriel de Ste Marie-Madeleine. (1893-1953) ... Ce religieux, à la vie intérieure si profonde, s'était enflammé d'une sainte ardeur pour cette doctrine spirituelle qu'il avait le don de communiquer à ses auditeurs avec une ferveur persuasive. Le commentaire étudie l'âme en route vers la perfection et la recherche de Dieu, dans les circonstances concrètes de la vie et les conditions psychologiques dans lesquelles elle évolue. Voici donc une oeuvre capable de répondre aux besoins de tant d'âmes ouvertes au charme de la prière et à l'attrait d'une vie intime avec Dieu. (-De la Préface à l'édition italienne, par le T. R. P. Benjamin de la Trinité, Premier Définiteur-Général de l'Ordre des Carmes Déchaussés à Rome)Nouvelle réimpression (et non pas un simple fac-similé) de l'édition française parue en 1958.
