Download or read book The Allusions of Athos written by Kathleen Clare and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what would cause a companion to drink so much so often as to forget who he is or where he is or why he is? Porthos and Aramis, concerned for their enigmatic companion, try to get answers from Grimaud, his valet, who will not assist in their attempts. He has been sworn to silence by his master, which makes it even harder in getting their curiosity satisfied. Realizing only Athos can offer up such information, it is much more retrievable when he is inebriated. They take advantage of the times he imbibes, but his responses are brief and only alludes to his past and is not as fact-filled as they would hope. They reluctantly come to the conclusion that time reveals all. If De Treville knows, he will not betray Athos or any of his guards, for he is not the kind of man that wants dissension among his regiment that gossip can cause. His men trust him, and he them. Let time reveal the secrets that Athos harbors. And prayfully, it is something they can adequately deal with. His secret is safe . . . for now.
Book Synopsis Medieval Mount Athos between Wealth and Poverty by :
Download or read book Medieval Mount Athos between Wealth and Poverty written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-11-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These collected studies dedicated to the Orthodox monastic center of Mount Athos during the Middle Ages paint a compelling picture of the Holy Mountain’s monastic communities as economic actors. Mount Athos’ rich archival holdings allow both for the minute scrutiny of economic activity and the tracing of long-term trends. Not only were Hagiorite monasteries major players on a local level, but they were also embedded within trans-Mediterranean networks of patronage. The unique status of Mount Athos as a semi-autonomous monastic polity also influenced attitudes towards landholding as well as wealth and poverty more generally.

Download or read book Cinema after Fascism written by S. Craig and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema After Fascism considers how postwar European films glance ambivalently backward from the postwar period to the fascist era and delves into issues of gender certainties and spectatorship. In this period of film, familiar structures of epistemology and historiography reappear as ghostly imprints on postwar celluloid, and the remnants of fascist subjectivity walk the streets of postwar cities. Through new perspectives on the films of Roberto Rossellini, Billy Wilder, Carol Reed, Alain Resnais, and Marguerite Duras, this book examines the ways in which filmmakers acknowledge the fascist past. Siobhan S. Craig reveals that the attempts to reconfigure the idioms of cinema are never fully naturalized and remain highly precarious constructions.
Book Synopsis Eclecticism in Late Medieval Visual Culture at the Crossroads of the Latin, Greek, and Slavic Traditions by : Maria Alessia Rossi
Download or read book Eclecticism in Late Medieval Visual Culture at the Crossroads of the Latin, Greek, and Slavic Traditions written by Maria Alessia Rossi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume builds upon the new worldwide interest in the global Middle Ages. It investigates the prismatic heritage and eclectic artistic production of Eastern Europe between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries, while challenging the temporal and geographical parameters of the study of medieval, Byzantine, post-Byzantine, and early-modern art. Contact and interchange between primarily the Latin, Greek, and Slavic cultural spheres resulted in local assimilations of select elements that reshaped the artistic landscapes of regions of the Balkan Peninsula, the Carpathian Mountains, and further north. The specificities of each region, and, in modern times, politics and nationalistic approaches, have reinforced the tendency to treat them separately, preventing scholars from questioning whether the visual output could be considered as an expression of a shared history. The comparative and interdisciplinary framework of this volume provides a holistic view of the visual culture of these regions by addressing issues of transmission and appropriation, as well as notions of cross-cultural contact, while putting on the global map of art history the eclectic artistic production of Eastern Europe.

Book Synopsis John Chrysostom on Paul by : Margaret M. Mitchell
Download or read book John Chrysostom on Paul written by Margaret M. Mitchell and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A readily accessible text and translation for scholars and students of Paul, ancient Christian history, and biblical reception. In this new volume in the Writings from the Greco-Roman World series, Margaret M. Mitchell collects twenty-five of John Chrysostom's lesser-known sermons on Pauline passages as well as some that focus on Paul himself. Mitchell presents the Greek text and an original translation of each of these fascinating sermons in a fresh, engaging style that seeks to recapture the vibrancy and dynamism of the live oratory behind the homilies. Extensive notes to each homily evaluate how Chrysostom dealt with some of the ethical, theological, historical, political, and literary problems present in Paul's writings. Mitchell's work on Chrysostom offers a model for scholars to explore and understand how ancient Christian interpreters found in Paul’s letters a legacy that was as problematic as it was precious.
Book Synopsis The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography by : Stephanos Efthymiadis
Download or read book The Ashgate Research Companion to Byzantine Hagiography written by Stephanos Efthymiadis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For an entire millennium, Byzantine hagiography, inspired by the veneration of many saints, exhibited literary dynamism and a capacity to vary its basic forms. The subgenres into which it branched out after its remarkable start in the fourth century underwent alternating phases of development and decline that were intertwined with changes in the political, social and literary spheres. The selection of saintly heroes, an interest in depicting social landscapes, and the modulation of linguistic and stylistic registers captured the voice of homo byzantinus down to the end of the empire in the fifteenth century. The seventeen chapters in this companion form the sequel to those in volume I which dealt with the periods and regions of Byzantine hagiography, and complete the first comprehensive survey ever produced in this field. The book is the work of an international group of experts in the field and is addressed to both a broader public and the scholarly community of Byzantinists, medievalists, historians of religion and theorists of narrative. It highlights the literary dimension and the research potential of a representative number of texts, not only those appreciated by the Byzantines themselves but those which modern readers rank high due to their literary quality or historical relevance.
Book Synopsis The Quest for Classical Greece by : Lucy Pollard
Download or read book The Quest for Classical Greece written by Lucy Pollard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greece and Asia Minor proved an irresistible lure to English visitors in the seventeenth century. These lands were criss-crossed by adventurers, merchants, diplomats and men of the cloth. In particular, John Covel (1638-1722) - chaplain to the Levant Company in the 1670s, later Master of Christ's College, Cambridge - was representative of a thoroughly eccentric band of Englishmen who saw Greece and the Ottoman world through the lens of classical history. Using a variety of sources, including Covel's largely unpublished diaries, Lucy Pollard shows that these curious travellers imported, alongside their copies of Pausanias and Strabo, a package of assumptions about the societies they discovered. Disparaging contemporary Greeks as unworthy successors to their classical ancestors allowed Englishmen to view themselves as the true inheritors of classical culture, even as - when opportunity arose - they removed antiquities from the sites they described. At the same time, they often admired the Turks, about whom they had fewer preconceptions. This is a major contribution to reception and post-Restoration ideas about antiquity.
