This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tres recreaciones y evocaciones, escritas en latín, del siempre presente y abierto legado homérico. La huella que dejaron los textos homéricos fue tan intensa que, ya desde la Antigüedad, proliferaron todo tipo de obras sobre el ciclo épico troyano. En este volumen recogemos tres de ellas. La primera, la Ilíada Latina, escrita en el siglo I d.C., es un resumen versificado, en latín, de la Ilíada de Homero, compuesto quizás con fines pedagógicos. Las otras dos son las traducciones al latín de dos originales griegos perdidos que pretendían ser sendas crónicas de primera mano de la Guerra de Troya, una escrita por un soldado griego (Distis), la otra por un combatiente troyano (Dares); se trata en realidad de dos ejercicios retóricos de la Antigüedad tardía que nos presentan una versión de la leyenda troyana en muchos episodios distinta de Homero. Estas obras están en la base de una tradición literaria entre cuyos deudores figuran, en mayor o menor medida, Benoît de Sainte-Maure, José Iscano (ambos del siglo XII), el Libro de Alexandre, Alfonso X, Geoffrey Chaucer y William Shakespeare.

Download or read book La Il ada written by Homero and published by Ediciones AKAL. This book was released on 1989-10-02 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homero fue el poeta, maestro y educador por antonomasia de los griegos, y su obra la Ilíada es el primer monumento de la literatura griega conocida, fruto de una larga tradición épica a la que el poeta de forma magistral dio forma definitiva y monumental. El poema es más que una serie ininterrumpida de episodios bélicos entre aqueos y troyanos en la plana troyana y ante los muros de Ilión, y más que un poema de la cólera de Aquiles contra Agamenón con sus consecuencias sobre la muerte de Patroclo, el camarada de Aquiles, y sobre la muerte de Héctor, el encarnizado enemigo. La Ilíada es también la tragedia del hombre que afronta su destino y paga con la muerte su condición de héroe, como Aquiles o el propio Héctor, héroes generosos y desprendidos, unas veces, y egoístas, otras, pero siempre valientes.

However, today, all species of tapirs are threatened to various degrees by habitat destruction and hunting. This action plan was written with wildlife biologists, ecologists, administrators, educators and local conservation officials in mind and is aimed at those countries with tapir populations. It provides a brief natural history of each species and its objective is to aid in their conservation by catalyzing conservation action. In addition, it is hoped that the contents of the plan will stimulate further research into this fascinating group of animals.
Download or read book The Failure of Modern Civilization and the Struggle for a deep Alternative written by Claudia von Werlhof and published by Beiträge zur Dissidenz. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western civilization is the Utopia of a better and higher life on Earth. The globalization of neo-liberalism proves that this project has failed. The paradigm of «Critical Theory of Patriarchy» explains this failure and discusses alternatives. By confronting the central civilizations in history, the egalitarian, life-oriented matriarchal one, and the hierarchical, nature and life dominating, hostile patriarchal one, we see that 5000 years of patriarchy have «replaced» matriarchies and nature itself by a «progressive» counter-world of «capital». This transformation characterizes «capitalist patriarchy» including «socialism». Its demise is due to the «alchemical» destruction of the world's resources, thought of, theologically legitimized and fetishized as «creation». This violence is not recognized. Elites have, instead, begun with a new «military alchemy», treating the whole Planet as weapon of mass destruction. Hence, the «Planetary Movement for Mother Earth».

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the role of the military in Italian society and culture during war and peacetime by bringing together a whole host of contributors across the interdisciplinary spectrum of Italian Studies. Divided into five thematic units, this volume examines the continuous and multifaceted impact of the military on modern and contemporary Italy. The Italian context offers a particularly fertile ground for studying the cultural impact of the military because the institution was used not only for defensive/offensive purposes, but also to unify the country and to spread ideas of socio-cultural and technological development across its diverse population.

Download or read book Diaboliad written by Mikhail Bulgakov and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bulgakov’s strong point was his ability to amplify the roots of man’s dementia, the howls of political pandemonium . . . a lively collection.” —The Washington Post Book World Mikhail Bulgakov’s Diaboliad and Other Stories, comprised of Diaboliad, No. 13–The Elpit Workers’ Commune, A Chinese Tale, and The Adventures of Chichikov, serves as an excellent introduction to this renowned Russian satirist and playwright’s work. Black comedy, biting social and political commentary, and Bulgakov’s unique narrative exuberance combine to tell the tales of labyrinthine post-Revolution bureaucracy; clashes between science, the intellectual class, and the state; and the high price to be paid for the promised utopian world of Communism in early Soviet Russia. Bulgakov’s signature eloquent skewering of the various shortcomings of the world around and within him can be found on every page, and horror and magic interweave in a constant dance of the absurd—a dance that would reach its highest point both stylistically and thematically in Bulgakov’s tour de force novel The Master and Margarita. “One of the most original voices of the twentieth century.” —The Guardian, UK

Download or read book Slaves Peasants and Rebels written by Stuart B. Schwartz and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once preoccupied with Brazilian slavery as an economic system, historians shifted their attention to examine the nature of life and community among enslaved people. Stuart B. Schwartz looks at this change while explaining why historians must continue to place their ethnographic approach in the context of enslavement as an oppressive social and economic system. Schwartz demonstrates the complexity of the system by reconsidering work, resistance, kinship, and relations between enslaved persons and peasants. As he shows, enslaved people played a role in shaping not only their lives but Brazil's institutionalized system of slavery by using their own actions and attitudes to place limits on slaveholders. A bold analysis of changing ideas in the field, Slaves, Peasants, and Rebels provides insights on how the shifting power relationship between enslaved people and slaveholders reshaped the contours of Brazilian society.
