Download or read book Favole illustrate di Fedro written by Fedro and published by Rossella La Piccirella. This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nella rosa degli autori di favole, non possiamo non parlare di Fedro. Con Fedro ci spostiamo nel mondo dei latini. Egli infatti visse nella roma del primo secolo d.C., quando Gesù era già nato e con lui anche le credenze religiose erano cambiate. Le sue favole, come vedrete, riprendono molto da Esopo, il padre di questo genere in tutto l'occidente. A volte sono semplici traduzioni in lingua latina, altre volte solo elaborazioni. Quello che caratterizza le favole di Fedro è il fatto che rappresentano una specie di protesta contro la società dell'epoca. Per questo subì una condanna da cui poi fu assolto. Leggeremo favole divertenti che stimolano alla meditazione. I protagonisti sono per lo più animali dai quali Fedro fa emergere caratteristiche umane. E allora dopo averle lette possiamo giocare a: "quale animale sei tu?". L'ebook è stato pensato per bambini ma le favole sono anche indirizzate agli adulti. Si tratta di favole in cui sono presenti alcune illustrazioni originali create appositamente da una illustratrice. Questo è il primo volume di due.
Download or read book The Peasants Bible written by Dario Fo and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Dario Fo is one of the world's most important contemporary playwrights, forging subversive wit and unusual linguistic experimentation into a comedy of complete originality. The Peasants' Bible is a collection of five monologues drawn from Italian folklore but filtered through Fo's delightfully singular lens-for example, an Adam and Eve who are passionately entwined like peas in a pod; a race between two classes of men struggling for power that resembles the legend of the Hare and the Tortoise-to form a Bible of the common man. In The Story of the Tiger, we find a Fourth Army soldier injured fighting Chiang Kai-shek's army, saved from starvation by being suckled by an enormous tiger, who then comes back to defeat Kai-shek by using model tigers in combat. Together the pieces are an extraordinary addition to Fo's body of work.

Download or read book Demetrius of Phalerum written by William W. Fortenbaugh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demetrius of Phalerum (c. 355-280BCE) of Phalerum was a philosopher-statesman. He studied in the Peripatos under Theophrastus and subsequently used his political influence to help his teacher acquire property for the Peripatetic school. As overseer of Athens, his governance was characterized by a decade of domestic peace. Exiled to Alexandria in Egypt, he became the adviser of Ptolemy. He is said to have been in charge of legislation, and it is likely that he influenced the founding of the Museum and the Library. This edition of the fragments of Demetrius of Phalerum reflects the growing interest in the Hellenistic period and the philosophical schools of that age. As a philosopher-statesman, Demetrius appears to have combined theory and practice. For example, in the work On Behalf of the Politeia, he almost certainly explained his own legislation and governance by appealing to the Aristotelian notion of politeia, that is, a constitution in which democratic and oligarchic elements are combined. In On Peace, he may have defended his subservience to Macedon by appealing to Aristotle, who repeatedly recognized the importance of peace over war; and in On Fortune, he will have followed Theophrastus, emphasizing the way fortune can determine the success or failure of sound policy. Whatever the case concerning any one title, we can well understand why Cicero regarded Demetrius as a unique individual: the educated statesman who was able to bring learning out of the shadows of erudition into the light of political conflict, and that despite an oratorical style more suited to the shadows of the Peripatos then to political combat. The new edition of secondary reports by Stork, van Ophuijsen, and Dorandi brings together the evidence for these and other judgments. The facing translation which accompanies the Greek and Latin texts opens up the material to readers who lack the ancient languages, and the accompanying essays introduce us to important issues. The volume will be of interest to those interested in Greek literature, Hellenistic philosophy, Hellenistic history, and generally to persons captivated by the notion of philosopher-statesman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameos showcase Tiberius in private and Augustus in court, with Pompey the Great on campaign and Phaedrus himself struggling against prejudice and persecution, and tales feature all sorts - a toadying slave, wicked servant, vain musician, effeminate soldier, sexy poet, and rogue quack. These forgotten tales tell short and clear Roman parables of power and powerlessness. Humorous and acute, they explain, and protest at, the Caesars, and they sit perfectly among Aesop's sadistic lions, murderous wolves, and apes in purple."--Jacket.
