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 Wild Happy written by Ryan Casseau and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part Indiana Jones, part Chicken Soup for the Soul, Wild Happy captures the adventures of a young aspiring scientist who left behind his superficial suburban existence in search of a world as different as he could find. He wasn't sure what he was after, but it found him anyway. At twenty-four, Ryan Casseau, set off alone to an island at the far edge of the world to live and study among some of the world's most remote people to learn of the plants they used as medicines. His journey led him to the indigenous villages of Papua New Guinea, a land known for their history of brutality and cannibalism. But while he stressed about getting work done and returning to civilization, something magical and unexpected got in the way: Everything. In equal parts humorous, unnerving, uplifting, and reflective, Wild Happy fiercely captures a bewildered boy and the lost world that took him in, shared its hidden wisdom, and changed his life forever.

Download or read book The Looking Glass Voyage written by Tariq Khan and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tariq Khan invites readers on a geographical, historical, political, and personal journey in his riveting memoir, The Looking Glass Voyage. A Pukhtoon from the Peshawar region of northwest Pakistan, Mr. Khan lived through the historical events of the 1950s and 60s in Pakistan, and he documents the unrest of those years as he experienced them as a young man. Tales of his family and school years reflect the circumstances of the times and reveal an ambitious student committed to his loved ones and possessing valuable physical and intellectual aptitudes. The memoir chronicles Mr. Khan's medical school studies and preparations for establishing his practice. His experiences in various cities and hospital settings shine a light on the cultures he lived in as an adult-from Saudi Arabia to England to the UAE. Accompanied by stories of an adventurous youth, a romantic liaison, and an arranged marriage, this autobiography will educate and entertain readers. In Mr. Khan's own words, The Looking Glass Voyage gives a first-hand glimpse into times past and the significant happenings of that era: "I was witness to great events in the history of the world in real-time: the dismemberment of my country of birth, and the formation of Bangladesh, in 1971; experiencing Iran in the heady days, at the peak years of the Shah of Iran ..." This "witness" is engaging and welcoming to readers of all ages and backgrounds as he makes history, his story."

Download or read book A Kingdom of Images written by Peter Fuhring and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once considered the golden age of French printmaking, Louis XIV’s reign saw Paris become a powerhouse of print production. During this time, the king aimed to make fine and decorative arts into signs of French taste and skill and, by extension, into markers of his imperialist glory. Prints were ideal for achieving these goals; reproducible and transportable, they fueled the sophisticated propaganda machine circulating images of Louis as both a man of war and a man of culture. This richly illustrated catalogue features more than one hundred prints from the Getty Research Institute and the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, whose print collection Louis XIV established in 1667. An esteemed international group of contributors investigates the ways that cultural policies affected printmaking; explains what constitutes a print; describes how one became a printmaker; studies how prints were collected; and considers their reception in the ensuing centuries. A Kingdom of Images is published to coincide with an exhibition on view at the Getty Research Institute from June 18 through September 6, 2015, and at the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris from November 2, 2015, through January 31, 2016.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women suffer from headaches far more than men. According to the World Health Organization, migraine is one of the most disabling medical conditions. The understanding of the pathophysiology of migraine has changed dramatically over the past decade, leading to more rational and targeted treatments. Since most migraineurs are young women, use of contraception, management of headaches with menstruation, pregnancy, lactation, and menopause are important issues addressed in this text. Headaches are often inherited, and, as such, the book also discusses genetic issues, particularly relevant in this era of customized medicine. The hormonal management of transgenders is important as many will experience severe headaches during their transitions. Comorbidities, including psychiatric syndromes and strokes, are also presented in detail. This text will be of interest to all practitioners who manage women with headaches.
