Book Synopsis A Looking Glasse for the Court by : Antonion de Guevara
Download or read book A Looking Glasse for the Court written by Antonion de Guevara and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An old-spelling edition Sir Francis Bryan's 1548 translation of Antonio de Guevara's Menosprecio de corte y alabanza de aldea (1539), a treatise in the contemptus mundi vein exhorting the reader to quit the court and live in the country. Although de Guevara has not been edited and published in English in over a century, during the mid-sixteenth century his prose was among the most read in all of Europe, translated into every major language. (Merik Casaubon remarked that no book besides the Bible was as often translated and reprinted as Guevara's Dial of Princes, a.k.a. The Golden Boke of Marcus Aurelius.) In A Looking Glasse for the Court, one will find a convergence of the courtly and medieval traditions with a heady infusion of classical erudition (sometimes spurious, of Guevara's own invention). It should be noted that while our text is based on the 1548 translation, our title is taken from the the later 1575 edition. Guevara's prologue, which appears in the original 1539 edition, has been newly translated and restored by Jessica Sequeira, as it has not previously appeared in English.

Download or read book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass written by Lewis Carroll and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined edition of "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll brings together two timeless classics that have captivated readers for generations. In this enchanting volume, readers are transported into a whimsical and surreal world where logic and reason take a backseat to imagination and nonsense. In "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland," we follow the curious Alice as she tumbles down a rabbit hole into a magical realm filled with eccentric characters such as the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. As Alice navigates through a series of absurd and perplexing situations, she learns valuable lessons about growing up, self-discovery, and the power of imagination. "Through the Looking-Glass," the sequel to "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland," takes readers on another extraordinary journey. This time, Alice steps through a mirror into a world where everything is reversed. She encounters talking flowers, witty Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and the enigmatic White Queen. As she strives to become a queen herself by navigating a giant chessboard, Alice faces numerous challenges that test her wit, courage, and resolve. Carroll’s imaginative storytelling and imaginative wordplay makes both books a joy for readers of all ages. Filled with clever puns, nonsensical riddles, and delightful characters, these tales have become a cornerstone of children's literature. Carroll's ability to create a dreamlike and topsy-turvy world, combined with his subtle satire and social commentary, adds depth and complexity to what initially appears to be mere children's stories. The combined edition of "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" is a beautifully crafted book that allows readers to embark on a thought-provoking journey. Whether revisiting these beloved tales from childhood or experiencing them for the first time, readers will be transported to a world where imagination knows no bounds. This edition serves as a timeless reminder of the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of Carroll's enchanting creations.

Download or read book Memoirs and Historical Chronicles of the Courts of Europe: Memoirs of Marguerite de Valois, Queen of France, Wife of Henri IV; of Madame de Pompadour of the Court of Louis XV; and of Catherine de Medici, Queen of France, Wife of Henri II written by Pierre de Bourdeille Brantôme and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secret Memoirs of Henry of Navarre's famous queen possess a value which the passage of time seems but to heighten. Emanating as they undoubtedly do from one of the chief actors in a momentous crisis in French history, and in the religious history of Europe as well, their importance as first-hand documents can hardly be overestimated. While the interest which attaches to their intimate discussions of people and manners of the day will appeal to the reader at the outset. Marguerite de Valois was the French contemporary of Queen Elizabeth of England, and their careers furnish several curious points of parallel. Marguerite was the daughter of the famous Catherine de Médicis, and was given in marriage by her scheming mother to Henry of Navarre, whose ascendant Bourbon star threatened to eclipse (as afterwards it did) the waning house of Valois. Catherine had four sons, three of whom successively mounted the throne of France, but all were childless. Although the king of the petty state of Navarre was a Protestant, and Catherine was the most fanatical of Catholics, she made this marriage a pretext for welding the two houses; but actually it seems to have been a snare to lure him to Paris, for it was at this precise time that the bloody Massacre of St. Bartholomew's day was ordered. Henry himself escaped--it is said, through the protection of Marguerite, his bride,--but his adherents in the Protestant party were slain by the thousands. A wedded life begun under such sanguinary auspices was not destined to end happily. Indeed, their marriage resembled nothing so much as an armed truce, peaceable, and allowing both to pursue their several paths, and finally dissolved by mutual consent, in 1598, when Queen Marguerite was forty-five. The closing years of her life were spent in strict seclusion, at the Castle of Usson, in Auvergne, and it was at this time that she probably wrote her Memoirs. In the original, the Memoirs are written in a clear vigorous French, and in epistolary form. Their first editor divided them into three sections, or books. As a whole they cover the secret history of the Court of France from the years 1565 to 1582--seventeen years of extraordinary interest, comprising, as they do, the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, already referred to, the formation of the famous League, the Peace of Sens, and the bitter religious persecutions which were at last ended by the Edict of Nantes issued after Henry of Navarre became Henry IV. of France. Besides the political bearing of the letters, they give a picturesque account of Court life at the end of the 16th century, the fashions and manners of the time, piquant descriptions, and amusing gossip, such as only a witty woman--as Marguerite certainly was--could inject into such subjects. The letters, indeed, abound in sprightly anecdote and small-talk, which yet have their value in lightening up the whole situation.
