Download or read book The Thebaid written by Jean Racine and published by Digireads.Com. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 17th century dramatist Jean Racine was considered, along with Moliere and Corneille, as one of the three great playwrights of his era. The quality of Racine's poetry has been described as possibly his most important contribution to French literature and his use of the alexandrine poetic line is one of the best examples of such use noted for its harmony, simplicity and elegance. While critics over the centuries have debated the worth of Jean Racine, at present, he is widely considered a literary genius of revolutionary proportions. In this volume of Racine's plays we find "The Thebaid," the first of twelve plays by the author. Racine draws upon Sophocles' "Antigone" and Euripides' "Phoenician Women" for this drama. The play concerns the struggle and death of the young son of Oedipus, as well as that of Antigone. The plot follows that of the other Theban plays in which we find Eteocles and Polynices, two warring brothers, Jocasta, their mother, Antigone, their sister, and Menoeceus and Haemon, their two cousins. All attempt unsuccessfully to quell the conflict between these two brothers in this tragic drama.

Download or read book The World of Achaemenid Persia written by John Curtis and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest and fascination in Achaemenid Persia has burgeoned in recent years. It is time for a major new appraisal of the glorious civilization founded by Cyrus the Great and continued by his successors, the Great Kings Darius I, Xerxes and Artaxerxes I. This volume offers precisely that: a sustained and comprehensive overview of the field of Achaemenid studies by leading scholars and experts. It discusses all aspects of Achaemenid history and archaeology between 550 BCE and 330 BCE, and embraces the whole vast territory of the Persian Empire from North Africa to India and from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf. Topics covered in this title include aspects of Achaemenid religion, administration, material culture, ethnicity, gender and the survival of Achaemenid traditions. The publication of the book is an event: it represents a watershed not only in better appreciation and understanding of the rich and complex cultural heritage established by Cyrus, but also of the lasting significance of the Achaemenid kings and the impact that their remarkable civilization has had on wider Persian and Middle Eastern history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Andromaque Racine's literary attributes are those of a realist. His work is realistic. He represents the objective method of looking at life, rather than the subjective. Corneille was a man of general ideas, given up to the discussion of principles, a romanticist. Racine specializes, studies de finite characteristics, analyzes. It was the attitude of his generation. The observers of his day would class him with Moliere as natural. For this reason his plays are more simple and logical, more compact than those of Cor neille. In his analysis of character he is searching for the influence of some passion, generally love or its 0& spring, jealousy, hatred, occasionally ambition, first on the human heart and through it on the overt acts of the ia.
