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 Conversations with Elie Wiesel written by Elie Wiesel and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversations with Elie Wiesel is a far-ranging dialogue with the Nobel Peace Prize-winner on the major issues of our time and on life’s timeless questions. In open and lively responses to the probing questions and provocative comments of Richard D. Heffner—American historian, noted public television moderator/producer, and Rutgers University professor—Elie Wiesel covers fascinating and often perilous political and spiritual ground, expounding on issues global and local, individual and universal, often drawing anecdotally on his own life experience. We hear from Wiesel on subjects that include the moral responsibility of both individuals and governments; the role of the state in our lives; the anatomy of hate; the threat of technology; religion, politics, and tolerance; nationalism; capital punishment, compassion, and mercy; and the essential role of historical memory. These conversations present a valuable and thought-provoking distillation of the thinking of one of the world’s most important and respected figures—a man who has become a moral beacon for our time.

Download or read book The Chicago Homer written by Ahuvia Kahane and published by . This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richimond Lattimore's elegant and exceptionally faithful line-by-line translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey introduced these classics to a new audience of English readers. Now The Chicago Homer presents an easily searchable, web-accessible database of Homer in the original and in Lattimore's translations. The Greek texts of the Homeric Hymns and the poems of Hesiod are also included, along with English translations by Daryl Hine, providing students and scholars with unparalleled access to the whole of Early Greek epic. In addition to providing Greek and English texts in an interlinear display, The Chicago Homer gives complete information (tense, mood, voice, case, gender, and number) on the morphology of each Greek word. Invaluable for students learning Greek, this information is also important to researchers investigating the frequency or distribution of grammatical phenomena; only The Chicago Homer provides these data in readily searchable electronic form. But the most distinctive feature of The Chicago Homer is its ability to analyze and display the wealth of repeated phrases -- such as" rosy-fingered dawn" and "swift-footed Achilles" -- that are considered to be the hallmark of Homeric poetry. For the first time in any medium, The Chicago Homer presents a complete index of all repeated phrases in Early Greek epic. These phrases may be sorted by a number of criteria, including length, frequency, who spoke them, and the words they contain. Most impor
