Book excerpt: The great myths of the world create meaning out of the fundamental events of human existence: birth, death, conflict, loss, reconciliation, the cycle of the seasons. They speak to us of life itself in voices still intelligible, yet compellingly strange and distant. World Mythology offers readers an authoritative and wide-ranging guide to these enduring mythological traditions, combining the pure narrative of the myths themselves with the background necessary for more complete understanding. Here, noted mythology expert Roy Willis, brings together a team of nineteen leading scholars navigate a clear path through the complexities of myth as they distill the essence of each regional tradition and focus on the most significant figures and the most enthralling stories. All aspects of the world's key mythologies are covered, from tales of warring deities and demons to stories of revenge and metamorphosis; from accounts of lustful gods and star-crossed human lovers to journeys in the underworld. All are told at length and are accompanied by illuminating and readable introductory text. Also included are summaries of important theories about the origins and meaning of myth, and an examination of themes that recur across a range of civilizations. Beautifully illustrated with more than 500 color photographs, works of art, charts, and maps, World Mythology offers readers the most accessible guide yet to the heritage of the world's imagination.

Download or read book Mitolog a para Dummies written by Christopher W. Blackwell and published by Para Dummies. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mitología es un conjunto de relatos que forman parte de una determinada religión o cultura. Los relatos están basados en la tradición y en la leyenda, y se crearon para explicar el universo, el origen del mundo, los fenómenos naturales y cualquier cosa para la que no había una explicación simple. Sin embargo, no todos los mitos tienen por qué tener este propósito explicativo. Igualmente, la mayoría de los mitos están relacionados con una fuerza natural o deidad, pero muchos son simplemente historias y leyendas que se han ido transmitiendo oralmente de generación en generación. Comprender la mitología es entender a los seres humanos. Al igual que los seres humanos, los mitos pueden ser inspiracionales, divertidos y hermosos pero también pueden ser complicados, crueles, violentos, obscenos o simplemente absurdos. Mitología para dummies incluye los principales mitos griegos y romanos, con sus dioses, héroes y criaturas monstruosas, y sus historias mitológicas más conocidas como La Ilíada, La Odisea o La Eneida. También explora la mitología nórdica y la leyenda de Beowulf, entre otras, la leyenda del Rey Arturo, la mitología egipcia, la mitología asiática y la mitología nativa americana.

Book excerpt: Este ensayo reúne 24 lecturas sobre mitos acerca del origen del mundo, de las relaciones entre dioses y hombres, del nacimiento de un dios o de grandes héroes. Están planteadas con diversos enfoques: a veces se trata de profundizar en el sentido de los mitos, otras de comparar las versiones griegas con otras similares de culturas del Próximo Oriente, y otras de examinar las imprecisas fronteras que separan el mito de otras manifestaciones de la cultura griega (como el cuento popular, la historia o la filosofía).

Download or read book Mexico at the World s Fairs written by Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-12 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intriguing study of Mexico's participation in world's fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexico's self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the country's drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair—where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted—with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's fairs was radically transformed during this time, from the Eiffel Tower prototype, encapsulating a wondrous symbolic universe, to the Disneyland model of commodified entertainment. Drawing on cultural, intellectual, urban, literary, social, and art histories, Tenorio-Trillo's thorough and imaginative study presents a broad cultural history of Mexico from 1880 to 1930, set within the context of the origins of Western nationalism, cosmopolitanism, and modernism. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1997.
