Book Synopsis A Book of Cambridge Verse (Classic Reprint) by : Ernest Edward Kellett
Download or read book A Book of Cambridge Verse (Classic Reprint) written by Ernest Edward Kellett and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book Synopsis The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (Christmas Classics Series) by : E.T.A. Hoffmann
Download or read book The Nutcracker and the Mouse King (Christmas Classics Series) written by E.T.A. Hoffmann and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E.T.A. Hoffmann's 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King' is a timeless classic that blends elements of fantasy, magical realism, and folklore. Set on Christmas Eve, the story follows young Marie and her beloved Nutcracker as they battle the nefarious Mouse King in a dreamlike journey. Hoffmann's eloquent prose and vivid imagination create a rich tapestry of enchanting scenes and characters, making this novella a delight for readers of all ages. The thematic exploration of innocence, bravery, and the power of imagination adds depth to the whimsical narrative, offering layers of meaning beneath its fantastical surface. E.T.A. Hoffmann, a German author and composer known for his Romantic works, drew inspiration from his own experiences and interests in music and the supernatural to craft 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King'. With a background in law and a passion for storytelling, Hoffmann weaves together elements of the fantastic and the macabre to create a narrative that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. His ability to blend the real and the imaginary in a cohesive and engaging manner showcases his literary prowess and enduring influence. I highly recommend 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King' to readers seeking a magical and thought-provoking tale that transcends time and genre boundaries. Hoffmann's masterful storytelling and imaginative world-building make this Christmas classic a must-read for anyone looking to immerse themselves in a captivating literary journey.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Fairy Tales by : Maria Tatar
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Fairy Tales written by Maria Tatar and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairy tales have never known geographical, disciplinary or cultural borders. In many ways, they provide a model for thinking about storytelling on a transnational level long before comparative literature began transforming itself into world literature. As the simple expression of complex thought, fairy tales have increasingly become the focus of intense scholarly inquiry. In this Companion, international scholars from a range of academic disciplines explore the historical origins, cultural dissemination and psychological power of fairy stories, and offer model interpretations of tales from a variety of traditions and sources, including Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm and the One Thousand and One Nights. Rather than disenchanting the stories, the essays in this volume broaden our understanding of them and deepen our appreciation of the cultural work they do. A chronology and guide to further reading contribute to the usefulness of the volume for students and scholars.

Book Synopsis "Throw the book away" by : Amie A. Doughty
Download or read book "Throw the book away" written by Amie A. Doughty and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children's literature is an excellent way to educate children, on everything from social behavior and beliefs to attitudes toward education itself. A major aspect of children's literature is the importance of books and reading. Books represent adult authority. This book examines the role that books, reading and writing play in children's fantasy fiction, from books that act as artifacts of power (The Abhorsen Trilogy, The Spiderwick Chronicles, Harry Potter) to interactive books (The Neverending Story, Malice, Inkheart) to books with character-writers (Percy Jackson, Captain Underpants). The author finds that although books and reading often play a prominent role in fantasy for children, the majority of young protagonists gain self-sufficiency not by reading but specifically by moving beyond books and reading.
