Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Download or read book Kumba Africa written by Sampson Ejike Odum and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

Download or read book Car Nation written by Dimitry Anastakis and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2008-06-15 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadians fell in love with the car at first glance. They were scared by it too, and by its potential. Canada was quick to become a car nation, as the automobile was enthusiastically adopted by Prairie grain farmers, the new modern woman, travellers to the north, and rough-and-tumble adventurers looking for a thrill by traversing the immense length of the country. The automobile was the symbol of the modern Canada of the twentieth century, and the final victory of technology over landscape. Canadians were building cars from the beginning. Independent firms and branches of the big American manufacturers vied for the lucrative Canadian market. Automaking has been an integral part of Canada's economy since the car's introduction. For more than a century, Canadians have lived with this automobile revolution, and all the consequences and permutations that it represents. Blending social, cultural and economic history, Dimitry Anastakis's engaging text tells the fascinating story of the car across Canada from earliest days, when cars and horses jockeyed for parking space, to the multilane freeways of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book The Sixties written by Dimitry Anastakis and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2008 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those who did not live through the experience of the Sixties, it is often difficult to comprehend this tumultuous period. Even those who lived though the era and have studied the Sixties have wrestled with its deeper meaning. While the Sixties ultimate "meaning" remains elusive, there can be no doubt that the period's transformative effect upon Canadians - culturally, politically, and economically - was immense. From arts and architecture to politics and protest, the decade has attained near-mythical status, leaving an undeniable influence on virtually every aspect of Canadian life. The images, sounds, and tastes of the decade remain an indelible part of our own twenty-first-century experience, yet for a decade that remains so well defined within the public memory, the Sixties left behind an ambiguous historic legacy for those who study the period. Taking a multidisciplinary approach that includes history, architecture, art, political science and journalism, this volume provides fresh new perspectives on Canada's loudest, liveliest, and most debated period. Four decades after Canada's own Expo 67 "summer of love", this timely book explores issues from dope, de Gaulle, and driver education, to Trudeau, Vietnam, and Africville, all thought the colourful kaleidoscope of the Sixties..

Download or read book Building Canada written by Norman Ball and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1991-05-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Canadians can take for granted conveniences and services far above levels considered acceptable even a few decades ago. This quality of life was made possible in part by the development of modern, complex, large-scale public works infrastructures. It represents a remarkable achievement. Climate, terrain, and limitations in resources and technological capabilities challenged generations of pioneers, soldiers, labourers, and engineers. Despite formidable difficulties, they built the essential edifices for everyday life: railways and urban transit systems, bridges and roads, sewers and waterworks, utilities and flood control works, airports and canals, electrical utilities and public buildings. Building Canada tells the story of the public works that helped to transform Canada from wilderness to a modern country. For the first time, a single volume describes Canadian history in terms of its public works. Each chapter includes highlights and examples of standard practice, along with a wealth of illustrations. Members of the Canadian Public Works Association have sponsored this volume in recognition of the accomplishments of their predecessors and the achievements of their profession.
