Download or read book Under western eyes. Illustrated edition written by Joseph Conrad and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some Joseph Conrad’s works are seen by critics as being influenced by works of a famous Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Despite that he himself claimed that he allegedly does not like this writer, for example, when talking about Dostoyevsky’s novel "The Brothers Karamazov": ‘It's terrifically bad and impressive and exasperating'. Yet, in Conrad's novel ‘The Eyes of the West’ , which talks about Russian emigre-revolutionists an attentive reader will undoubtedly feel Dostoevsky's influence on the work of the great English writer. Pretty illustrations by Dmitrii Rybalko provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.

Book Synopsis Under Western Eyes by : Allan Simmons
Download or read book Under Western Eyes written by Allan Simmons and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2011 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterized by Conrad himself as his “most deeply meditated novel,” Under Western Eyes enjoyed a warm reception on its publication in October 1911. In the century since it has rewarded readers with various pleasures. Exploring the intertwined subjects of personal morality, the nature of the State, national character and identity, and covertly digging into the tensions of his family's past, the novel is the last of Conrad's sustained excursions into overtly political territory. This collection of eleven essays considers Conrad's achievement from several perspectives. Opening with a provocative essay on the text's genesis, it surveys intertextual relations and influences, considers its ethical challenges, its psychological appeal to our time, and its contemporary reception and reception in Russia. Addressed to the scholar of literary Modernism, “Under Western Eyes”: Centennial Essays offers a vivid snapshot of current critical technologies. This well-balanced collection should help the student and classroom teacher alike in pursuing further the novel's richly layered interests.

Book Synopsis UNDER WESTERN EYES by : Joseph Conrad
Download or read book UNDER WESTERN EYES written by Joseph Conrad and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under Western Eyes (1911) is a political thriller which takes place in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Geneva, Switzerland. Mr. de P—, the brutal Minister of State, is assassinated by a team of two, but the bombs used claim the lives of his footman, the first assassin and a number of bystanders. When student Razumov enters his rooms, he finds Victor Haldin, a fellow student who informs him that he was the one who murdered Mr. de P—, but he and his accomplice did not make a proper escape plan. He requests Razumov's help... Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), was a Polish author who wrote in English after settling in England. Conrad is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in English, though he did not speak the language fluently until he was in his twenties. He wrote stories and novels, often with a nautical setting, that depict trials of the human spirit in the midst of an indifferent universe. He was a master prose stylist who brought a distinctly non-English tragic sensibility into English literature.

Download or read book Into the Melée written by Francis Mulhern and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential collection of literary criticism from Francis Mulhern, author of The Moment of ‘Scrutiny’ and Culture/Metaculture Into the Melée collects Francis Mulhern's insightful critical writing, much of it in the hybrid literary form that Bagehot described as 'the review-like essay and the essay-like review'. It opens with questions of nationality, from F. R. Leavis's efforts to assert a normatively English literary subject and Ferdinand Mount's exploration of English cultural landscapes to Tom Nairn's political vision of England and Scotland 'after Britain' and Joe Cleary's account of Irish modernism. Another cluster of texts concerns intellectuals and, in one way or another, the politics of revolution and counter-revolution, from Burke to the present. There is an updated sketch of the magazine n +1 as heir to the militant traditions of Partisan Review. What is literature? Sartre's answer was: committed literature. The writer as such was of the left. But culture and politics are discrepant practices, inhabiting one another in permanent tension. In its embrace of provisionality and its magpie curiosity, Mulhern observes, the essay is a mode especially well suited to the purposes of a Marxist criticism morally committed to the value of being surprised.

Book Synopsis Southern Limestones under Western Eyes by : Brian McGowran
Download or read book Southern Limestones under Western Eyes written by Brian McGowran and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science, the growth of reliable knowledge, became a major triumph of the European Enlightenment in the seventeenth century, under the guise of ‘natural philosophy’: investigating what the earth and universe are made of and how things work. It took another century for the parallel subject ‘natural history’ to glimpse how the earth, its geography and its richly diverse life came to be. Later, geology and biology became intertwined as biogeohistory—an ever-changing environmental theatre hosting an ever-changing evolutionary play. This environmental theatre has shifted with the making and breaking of supercontinents, the birth and death of global oceans, and the rise and fall of global hothouses and ice ages. The evolutionary play begins with biostratigraphy, wherein fossils revealed deep time and ancient environments and built the first meaningful geological timescale, and ends with the still young science of palaeoceanography—central to which are microfossils, rich in information about the oceans and climates of the past. In Southern Limestones under Western Eyes, Brian McGowran recounts the history of biogeohistory itself: the ever-changing perceptions of rocks, fossils and landscapes, from the late 1600s to the present. McGowran’s focus is southern Australia, the north shore of the dying Australo-Antarctic Gulf, in an era bracketed by two catastrophes: the extinction of dinosaurs and the emergence of humans.

Book Synopsis Babylon Under Western Eyes by : Andrew Scheil
Download or read book Babylon Under Western Eyes written by Andrew Scheil and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Babylon under Western Eyes examines the mythic legacy of ancient Babylon, the Near Eastern city which has served western culture as a metaphor for power, luxury, and exotic magnificence for more than two thousand years. Sifting through the many references to Babylon in biblical, classical, medieval, and modern texts, Andrew Scheil uses Babylon’s remarkable literary ubiquity as the foundation for a thorough analysis of the dynamics of adaptation and allusion in western literature. Touching on everything from Old English poetry to the contemporary apocalyptic fiction of the “Left Behind” series, Scheil outlines how medieval Christian society and its cultural successors have adopted Babylon as a political metaphor, a degenerate archetype, and a place associated with the sublime. Combining remarkable erudition with a clear and accessible style, Babylon under Western Eyes is the first comprehensive examination of Babylon’s significance within the pantheon of western literature and a testimonial to the continuing influence of biblical, classical, and medieval paradigms in modern culture.
