Book excerpt: Neither rain, sleet, nor hail or the dark of night shall detain this couier from his swift completion of his appointed route.The swift footed Persian messengers of centuries ago ran to the beat of this mythical quotation. This measureless treasure of postal acclaim was a salute of notability that found its orginial concept during the same time frame that the tiny village of Rome was rising to its political heights. Thus, Benjamin Franklin, appointed by the Continental Congress as the postal system's chief in 1774, adopted the lofty slogan for its own.And for the frugal of mind his salary was the hefty sum of $1000 yearly. Boom!And came the petite blonde from Louisville, Kentucky.On September21,1963, I crossed the rank and file of the postal blue to become the very first female foot letter carrier in this district, which included the states of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. As children we read the story of Allie -Baba(Babba?not sure of correct spelling)and The Forty Thieves with great excitemet.Remember, they flew the star studded sky on a carpet. My invitation will be for you to join with me, using the mode of transpotation as my pair of feet and the U.S.Mail bag.Please come and walk a mile or two with The Maillady! &nb
Download or read book Renaissance Man written by Tommi Alho and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here friends of Anthony W. Johnson honour him as a re-embodiment of the polymathic artist-scholar figure once observable in Ben Jonson, on whom he has done some of his most distinctive work. Part I of the book reflects his strong grounding in English literature and culture of the seventeenth century, with essays, not only on Ben Jonson, but also on university drama, on grammar school drama, and on humanist literary taste. Part II responds to his pioneering flights of culture-imagological time-travel to other periods, with essays on riddles through the ages, on Matthew Arnold’s doubts about Homeric pictorialism, and on anciently comic elements in George Gissing’s urban fiction. Part III celebrates his importance, both as scholar and artist, for the present day, with essays extending imagological analysis to the singer Nick Drake, to the avant-garde Danish poet Morten Søkilde, and to Sean S. Baker’s film Tangerine, plus a climactic celebration of Johnson’s own performances on solo violin and guitar as augmented by self-recording.
Download or read book Renaissance Man written by Ágnes Heller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering such witnesses of the time as Shakespeare, Dante, Petrarch, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Montaigne, More and Bacon, Agnes Heller looks at both the concept and the image of a Renaissance man. The concept was generalised and accepted by all; its characteristic features were man as a dynamic being, creating and re-creating himself throughout his life. The images of man, however, were very different, having been formed through the ideas and imagination of artists, politicians, philosophers, scientists and theologians and viewed from the different aspects of work, love, fate, death, friendship, devotion and the concepts of space and time. Renaissance Man thus stood as both as a leading protagonist of his time, one who led and formulated the substantial attitudes of his time, and as one who stood as a witness on the sidelines of the discussion. This book, first published in English in 1978, is based on the diverse but equally important sources of autobiographies, works of art and literature, and the writings of philosophers. Although she uses Florence as a starting point, Agnes Heller points out that the Renaissance was a social and cultural phenomenon common to all of Western Europe; her Renaissance Man is thus a figure to be found throughout Europe.

Book Synopsis Making the Renaissance Man by : Timothy McCall
Download or read book Making the Renaissance Man written by Timothy McCall and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking beyond the marble elegance of Michelangelo’s David, the pugnacious, passionate, and—crucially—important story of Renaissance manhood. Making the Renaissance Man explores the images, objects, and experiences that fashioned men and masculinity in the courts of fifteenth-century Italy. Across the peninsula, Italian princes fought each other in fierce battles and spectacular jousts, seduced mistresses, flaunted splendor in lavish rituals of knighting, and demonstrated prowess through the hunt—all ostentatious performances of masculinity and the drive to rule. Hardly frivolous pastimes, these activities were essential displays of privilege and virility; indeed, violence underlay the cultural veneer of the Italian Renaissance. Timothy McCall investigates representations and ideals of manhood in this time and provides a historically grounded and gorgeously illustrated account of how male identity and sexuality proclaimed power during a century crucial to the formation of Early Modern Europe.

Book Synopsis The Black Athlete as Hero by : Joseph Dorinson
Download or read book The Black Athlete as Hero written by Joseph Dorinson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-10-28 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part history, part biography, this study examines the Black athlete's search to unify what W.E.B. DuBois called the "two unreconciled strivings" of African Americans--the struggle to survive in black society while adapting to white society. Black athletes have served as vanguards of change, challenging the dominant culture, crossing social boundaries and raising political awareness. Champions like Joe Louis, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Wilma Rudolph, Roberto Clemente, Althea Gibson, Arthur Ashe, Serena Williams, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James make a difference, even as many in the Black community question the idea of athletes as role models. The author argues the importance of sports heroes in a panic-plagued era beset with class division and racial privilege.
