Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Praise of Legend The following pages were written as articles for a popular monthly magazine - The Sign. They are reprinted here, with a few omissions and additions, in the hope that Sign readers may like to have them in a little volume, and may, perhaps, care to pass them on to others. The writer's thanks are due to many lovers of legend, more especially to one who writes very beautifully in prose and poem under the name of "A child of Mary."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tale of Igor: Adapted From the Old Russian Legend Hearken, my brethen, while I tell you the tale of Igor, son of Svyatoslav. In the ancient way shall it be told, not after the fashion of the immortal Boyan but in manner seemly, following the legends of the time. For when Boyan made a song for men to hear, his thoughts leaped swiftly like a squirrel in the tree-tops, or ran like a grey wolf over the plain or like an eagle, soared beneath the clouds. He sent forth falcons to pursue a flock of swans and the first swan that was captured sang its song, a song to Yaroslav the Old, or to Mstislav the Brave who put Rededia to the sword before the tents of Kassog; a song again to Roman, the beauteous son of Svyatoslav. But Boyan, brethren, did not in truth send forth falcons to pursue a flock of swans but with magic fingers he would touch the chords which of themselves would chant the princes praise in sonorous music. If Boyan, the nightingale of bygone years, had sung of these wars, his spirit would indeed have leaped in the tree of dreams, flown in the dream clouds or followed through fields and hills, the visioned path of Trajan. Thus might he have sung: "'Tis not the storm That blows a flight of hawks About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Ho, ho! Cried Saint Patrick, Had I received that lick, 'twould have hashed all my mutton, - Anathema sis! Be that as it may, 'twas a thundering knock Tempted Patrick to say, at eleven o'clock, Who the devil is there? Though the saint dld not swear, But did, as the French say, the very contraire, For he muttered a blessing While hurriedly dressing, And then, With serenity worthy all praise, He sought to discover his Bryant and May's, Then a recent invention, but lately brought over By a sailor named Murphy who traded to Dover.

Download or read book The Book of Legends/Sefer Ha-Aggadah written by Hayyim Nahman Bialik and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 1992-11-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first complete English translation of the Hebrew classic Sefer Ha-Aggadah brings to the English-speaking world the greatest and best-loved anthology of classical Rabbinic literature ever compiled. First published in Odessa in 1908-11, it was recognized immediately as a masterwork in its own right, and reprinted numerous times in Israel. The Hebrew poet Hayim Nahman Bialik and the renowned editor Yehoshua Hana Ravnitzky, the architects of this masterful compendium, selected hundreds of texts from the Talmud and midrashic literature and arranged them thematically, in order to provide their contemporaries with easy access to the national literary heritage of the Jewish people -- the texts of Rabbinic Judaism that remain at the heart of Jewish literacy today. Bialik and Ravnitzky chose Aggadah -- the non-legal portions of the Talmud and Midrash -- for their anthology. Loosely translated as "legends", Aggadah includes the genres of biblical exegesis, stories about biblical characters, the lives of the Talmudic era sages and their contemporary history, parables, proverbs, and folklore. A captivating melange of wisdom and piety, fantasy and satire, Aggadah is the expressive medium of the Jewish creative genius. The arrangement of this compendium reflects the theological concerns of the Rabbinic sages: the role of Israel and the nations; God, good and evil; human relations; the world of nature; and the art of healing. Here, the reader who wants to explore traditional Jewish views on a particular subject is treated to a selection of relevant texts at his fingertips but will soon become immersed in a way of thinking, exploring, and questioning that is the hallmark of Jewish inquiry. "Whatever the imagination can invent is found in the Aggadah," wrote the historian Leopold Zunz, "its purpose always being to teach man the ways of God." The Book of Legends/Sefer Ha-Aggadah, now available in william Braude's superbly annotated translation, enables modern Jews to experience firsthand the richness and excitement of their cultural inheritance.

Download or read book Oedipus; or, The Legend of a Conqueror written by Marie Delcourt and published by Michigan State University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie Delcourt’s brilliant study of the Oedipus legend, an unjustly neglected monument of twentieth-century classical scholarship published in 1944 and issued here for the first time in English translation, bridges the gap between Carl Robert’s influential Oidipus (1915) and the work of Lowell Edmunds seventy years later. Delcourt studies the legend in its various aspects, six episodes that have equal weight and that stress the same themes: greatness, conquest, domination, the right to rule—all of them bound up with the idea of kingship. Together they form the biography of a Theban hero, the fullest account that has come down to us about the prehistory of sovereign power among the ancient Greeks. Delcourt does not suppose that Oedipus, or indeed any other Greek hero, was a historical figure. The personality familiar to us from the plays of the tragedians of the fifth century—our oldest source, and a very late one—was the result of their extraordinary artistry in linking together themes rooted in very ancient social and religious rites that in the interval had come to describe the feats of Oedipus, then his life, and finally his character. It was in order to explain these rites, whose meaning had ceased to be understood, that myths and legends were invented in the first place. Oedipus, Delcourt argues, is the archetype of all heroes of essentially (if not exclusively) ritual origin, whose acts were prior to their person. This is a very different— and far more complex—Oedipus than the one rather implausibly imagined by Freud. More generally, the origin and transmission of the Oedipus legend tells us a great deal about the strength and persistence of public memories in prehistoric societies.
