Book Synopsis The Otio in Negotio by : E W Farnsworth
Download or read book The Otio in Negotio written by E W Farnsworth and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-03-05 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Otio in Negotio', E. W. Farnsworth has brought together another lively, intelligent collection of stories, focusing on the humor, romance and oddities of exceptionally active and intelligent people in the contemporary world of business. As the title of the entire collection implies, these stories are highly allusive and full of hidden puzzles and games meant to pique the reader's attention. Names are significant. Allusions enrich the narratives. The scope of business is global, and many business plans resemble those of top startup companies in today's financial headlines. The fun in these stories is tempered by the constraints and challenges of business. Farnsworth's CEOs are human and infallible. Sometimes love finds a way, and sometimes it is cruelly eliminated from the personal equation. Where business triumphs, so does the human spirit. When satire chastens, the biters are bitten. A seasoned editor described lead story 'TwinLions' as "Breathtakingly new ... I've read nothing remotely like it."
Book Synopsis A Selection of Short Stories by : E W Farnsworth
Download or read book A Selection of Short Stories written by E W Farnsworth and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. W. Farnsworth's brainy and visionary short stories in this volume are meant to be read individually as invitations to other of his creations. The uncanny interplay of the writer and his context can be understood by the thoughtful, patient reader capable of perceiving semantic patterns beneath the surface of words. The excerpt from 'Nightworld: A Novel of Virtual Reality' inspired the cover image for this book since the woman with the wolf in the forest is a boundary-crossing Artificial Intelligence. Part of Farnsworth's epic vision for the future of humankind, AIs and robotics, the stories from 'DarkFire' and 'DarkFire Continuum' weave a continuous cosmology as the adventures of the spaceship 'Arcturus' begin. These stories reveal how their many intellectual games open vistas to the author's past and future stories as well as to inventions and discoveries on the far-horizon of human thought. E. W. Farnsworth is currently working on a visionary epic poem, 'Voyage of the Spaceship Arcturus'.

Download or read book De otio written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition, the first modern one in English, introduces undergraduates and more advanced students to the therapeutic possibilities of Seneca's Stoic philosophy. The short treatises De otio and De brevitate vitae balance each other by representing different but complementary aspects of Senecan philosophy: in De otio, one's duty to the 'active' life, in De brevitate vitae, one's duty to oneself in reclaiming life from the impositions made upon the self. The provocative Senecan message is to promote introspection in life, and to suggest the benefits of an inner existence of the personal. In addition to its literary and linguistic emphasis, this edition tries to advertize the means by which Seneca conveys the attractions of his therapeutic 'philosophy'.

Download or read book Terence: Hecyra written by Terence and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terence's Hecyra raises social, literary and theatrical issues of great interest to modern students of Roman comedy and, indeed, of Roman culture more broadly. The play pays strikingly close attention to the domestic problems of women and experiments boldly with traditional comic forms, not only in its creation of anticipatory suspense, but through its variations on traditional situations and roles and its metatheatrical qualities. In addition, Terence's response in his prologues to the play's two putative failures is important, if tendentious, evidence for the mechanics of theatrical performance in the second century, especially the conjunction of theatrical and gladiatorial shows. This edition opens the play's many interpretive challenges to wider scrutiny while remaining attentive to the linguistic needs of students at all levels.

Download or read book Variety written by William Fitzgerald and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of variety may seem too diffuse, obvious, or nebulous to be worth scrutinizing, but modern usage masks the rich history of the term. This book examines the meaning, value, and practice of variety from the vantage point of Latin literature and its reception and reveals the enduring importance of the concept up to the present day. William Fitzgerald looks at the definition and use of the Latin term varietas and how it has played out in different works and with different authors. He shows that, starting with the Romans, variety has played a key role in our thinking about nature, rhetoric, creativity, pleasure, aesthetics, and empire. From the lyric to elegy and satire, the concept of variety has helped to characterize and distinguish different genres. Arguing that the ancient Roman ideas and controversies about the value of variety have had a significant afterlife up to our own time, Fitzgerald reveals how modern understandings of diversity and choice derive from what is ultimately an ancient concept.

Book Synopsis Plagiarism in Latin Literature by : Scott McGill
Download or read book Plagiarism in Latin Literature written by Scott McGill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to critics who charged him with plagiarism, Virgil is said to have responded that it was easier to steal Hercules' club than a line from Homer. This was to deny the allegations by implying that Virgil was no plagiarist at all, but an author who had done the hard work of making Homer's material his own. Several other texts and passages in Latin literature provide further evidence for accusations and denials of plagiarism. Plagiarism in Latin Literature explores important questions such as, how do Roman writers and speakers define the practice? And how do the accusations and denials function? Scott McGill moves between varied sources, including Terence, Martial, Seneca the Elder and Macrobius' Virgil criticism to explore these questions. In the process, he offers new insights into the history of plagiarism and related issues, including Roman notions of literary property, authorship and textual reuse.
