Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intriguing fairy tales by the librettist of Béla Bartók’s opera Bluebeard’s Castle A man is changed into a flea and must bring his future parents together in order to become human again. A woman convinces a river god to cure her sick son, but the remedy has mixed consequences. A young man must choose whether to be close to his wife's soul or body. And two deaf mutes transcend their physical existence in the garden of dreams. Strange and fantastical, these fairy tales of Béla Balázs (1884-1949), Hungarian writer, film critic, and famous librettist of Bluebeard's Castle, reflect his profound interest in friendship, alienation, and Taoist philosophy. Translated and introduced by Jack Zipes, one of the world's leading authorities on fairy tales, The Cloak of Dreams brings together sixteen of Balázs's unique and haunting stories. Written in 1921, these fairy tales were originally published with twenty images drawn in the Chinese style by painter Mariette Lydis, and this new edition includes a selection of Lydis's brilliant illustrations. Together, the tales and pictures accentuate the motifs and themes that run throughout Balázs's work: wandering protagonists, mysterious woods and mountains, solitude, and magical transformation. His fairy tales express our deepest desires and the hope that, even in the midst of tragedy, we can transcend our difficulties and forge our own destinies. Unusual, wondrous fairy tales that examine the world's cruelties and twists of fate, The Cloak of Dreams will entertain, startle, and intrigue.

Book excerpt: Nine renowned sinologists present a range of studies that display the riches of medieval Chinese verse in varied guises. All major verse-forms, including shi, fu, and ci, are examined, with a special focus on poetry’s negotiation with tradition and historical context. Dozens of previously untranslated works are here rendered in English for the first time, and readers will enter a literary culture that was deeply infused with imperatives of wit, learning, and empathy. Among the diverse topics met with in this volume are metaphysical poetry as a medium of social exchange, the place of ruins in Chinese poetry, the reality and imaginary of frontier borderlands, the enigma of misattribution, and how a 19th-century Frenchwoman discovered Tang poetry for the Western world. Contributors include Timothy Wai Keung Chan, Robert Joe Cutter, Ronald Egan, David R. Knechtges, Paul W. Kroll, Stephen Owen, Wendy Swartz, Ding Xiang Warner, and Pauline Yu.

This book was released on 2004-10-05 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New in Paperback 2004.

Song annotations include poet, publisher, date of composition (when known), voice type, range, duration, tempo indication, mood, subject matter, vocal style, special difficulties, general impression, artists who have recorded the song, and any other pertinent information. Thirty composers whose contributions are deemed of lesser import are summarized in brief essays. Appendixes include a supplement of recommended songs; a listing of American song anthologies and their contents; and the most recent information regarding publishers cited in the guide. There is also a general discography, a general bibliography, and indexes for both titles and poets. Documenting the most important 110 years in the development of American art song, this book is an indispensable tool for singers, teachers, coaches, accompanists, and libraries.

Download or read book A History of Western Appreciation of English-translated Tang Poetry written by Lan Jiang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the development of English-translated Tang poetry and its propagation to the Western world. It consists of two parts, the first of which addresses the initial stage of English-translated Tang poetry’s propagation, and the second exploring its further development. By analyzing the historical background and characteristics of these two stages, the book traces the trend back to its roots, discusses some well-known early sinologists and their contributions, and familiarizes readers with the general course of Tang poetry’s development. In addition, it presents the translated versions of many Tang poems. The dissemination of Tang poetry to the Western world is a significant event in the history of cross-cultural communication. From the simple imitation of poetic techniques to the acceptance and identification of key poetic concepts, the Tang poetry translators gradually constructed a classic “Chinese style” in modern American poetry. Hence, the traditional Chinese culture represented by Tang poetry spread more widely in the English-speaking world, producing a more lasting impact on societies and cultures outside China – and demonstrating the poetry’s ability to transcend the boundaries of time, region, nationality and culture. Due to different cultural backgrounds, the Tang poets or poems admired most by Western readers may not necessarily receive high acclaim in China. Sometimes language barriers and cultural differences make it impossible to represent certain allusions or cultural and ethnic concepts correctly during the translation process. However, in recent decades, the translation of Tang poetry has evolved considerably in both quantity and quality. As culture is manifested in language, and language is part of culture, the translation of Tang poetry has allowed Western scholars to gain an unprecedented understanding of China and Chinese culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, forty years after Timothy Leary's suggestion that hippies read Hermann Hesse while "turning on," Hesse is once again receiving attention: faced with ubiquitous materialism, war, and ecological disaster, we discover that these problems have found universal expression in the works of this master storyteller. Hesse explores perennial themes, from the simple to the transcendental. Because he knows of the awkwardness of adolescence and the pressures exerted on us to conform, his books hold special appeal for young readers and are taught widely. Yet he is equally relevant for older readers, writing about the torment of a psyche in despair, or our fear of the unknown. All these experiences are explored from the perspective of the individual self, for Hesse the repository of the divine and the sole entity to which we are accountable. This volume of new essays sheds light on his major works, including Siddhartha, Der Steppenwolf, and Das Glasperlenspiel, as well as Rohalde, Klingsors letzter Sommer, Klein und Wagner, and the poetry. Another six essays explore Hesse's interest in psychoanalysis, music, and eastern philosophy, the development of his political views, the influence of his painting on his writing, and the relationship between Hesse and Goethe. Contributors: Jefford Vahlbusch, Osman Durrani, Andreas Solbach, Ralph Freedman, Adrian Hsia, Stefan Höppner, Martin Swales, Frederick Lubich, Paul Bishop, Olaf Berwald, Kamakshi Murti, Marco Schickling, Volker Michels, Godela Weiss-Sussex, C.

Download or read book Klingsor's Last Summer written by Hermann Hesse and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I cannot read Hermann Hesse without feeling that I am drawn into the presence of a deeply serious mind, a mind that is searching for the meaning of life." - Carl Jung New translation of the original German manuscript of Hermann Hesse's Nobel Prize-winning novel "Klingsor's Last Summer". This edition also contains an epilogue by the translator, a philosophical glossary of concepts used by Hesse and a chronology of his life and work. Hesse won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947. "Klingsor's Last Summer" is one of Hesse's collection of short stories that deals with the life of an expressionist painter named Klingsor, deeply permeated with Nietzschean motifs. It functions as a commentary on human existence, underlining the challenges of grappling with destiny, the affirmation of life, and existential dread. This essay aims to dissect the interplay of these motifs and the rich philosophical influences embedded within Hesse's narratives.The story captures the summer in which Klingsor feels intensely alive, wrestling with his inner demons, his relationship with life, death, and his artistic creativity. It's significant for its vivid portrayal of the artist's life, and the juxtaposition of life's ephemerality and beauty. Hesse's examination of artistic longing and the search for meaning is what gives this work its importance. It has influenced literature by inspiring contemplation of the nature of artistic pursuits and the existential dilemmas faced by creative individuals. At the outset, it's essential to understand the thematic essence of the stories contained within "Klingsor's Last Summer." "A Child's Soul," for instance, dives into the tumultuous inner world of a child torn between the pull of darkness and the allure of light. The story introduces Nietzsche's "noble criminal," challenging the societal norms, presenting him not as a mere malefactor but as an embodiment of individual destiny, even when it veers into the realm of the negative. This character serves as a poignant reminder of the human struggle to balance between societal expectations and intrinsic urges.Similarly, "Klein and Wagner" offers a compelling narrative of disillusionment. Klein's rejection of the bourgeois existence and his subsequent realization of his personal inadequacies are a reflection of Hesse's exploration of self-realization. The narrative eloquently combines the wisdom of eastern and western philosophies, borrowing from Schopenhauer's existential musings and the affirming-negating principles of Hindu Yoga. The title story, focusing on the artist Klingsor, serves as a microcosm of the broader European existential crisis. Facing his mortality, Klingsor's self-portrait becomes a profound commentary on the nature of existence, capturing the zeitgeist of a tired Europe. Intriguingly, the trajectory of Klingsor mirrors that of Nietzsche himself, especially the philosopher's rapid intellectual outpourings before his descent into mental decline. A recurring element in Hesse's characters, notably Klingsor and Klein, is their psychological pathology. These characters, tinged with existential despair, echo Hesse's personal struggles, suggesting perhaps a subconscious reflection of his anxieties regarding his fate. This introspective element elevates the narratives from mere fiction to a profound exploration of the human psyche.
