Download or read book Orestes written by Voltaire and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-08-02 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orestes was produced in 1750, an experiment which intensely interested the literary world and the public. In his Dedicatory Letters to the Duchess of Maine, Voltaire has the following passage on the Greek drama: "We should not, I acknowledge, endeavor to imitate what is weak and defective in the ancients: it is most probable that their faults were well known to their contemporaries. I am satisfied, Madam, that the wits of Athens condemned, as well as you, some of those repetitions, and some declamations with which Sophocles has loaded his Electra: they must have observed that he had not dived deep enough into the human heart. I will moreover fairly confess, that there are beauties peculiar not only to the Greek language, but to the climate, to manners and times, which it would be ridiculous to transplant hither. Therefore I have not copied exactly the Electra of Sophocles-much more I knew would be necessary; but I have taken, as well as I could, all the spirit and substance of it."

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

In pictures in this book you can see how these stars, shown as they appear two hours before dawn, move through the night sky.

Download or read book Narratives of Fear and Safety written by Kaisa Kaukiainen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this edited volume, written in English and French, tackle the intriguing problems of fear and safety by analysing their various meanings and manifestations in literature and other narrative media. The articles bring forth new, cross-cultural interpretations on fear and safety through examining what kinds of genre-specific means of world-making narratives use to express these two affectivities. The articles also show how important it is to study these themes in order to understand challenges in times of global threats, such as the climate crisis, and - to imagine a better future. The main themes of the book are approached from various theoretical perspectives as related to their literary and cultural representations. Recent trends in research, such as affect and risk theory, serve as the basis for the discussion. Many of the articles in the volume discuss apocalyptic and dystopian narratives that currently permeate the entire cultural landscape. Dystopian narratives do not only deal with future threats, such as totalitarianism, technocracy, or environmental disasters, but also suggest alternative ways of being and new hopes in the form of political resistance. The articles in the volume also draw from disciplines such as gender studies and trauma studies to examine the threats posed by collective fears and aggression on individuals' lives and propose ways of coping with fear. These themes are addressed also in articles analysing new adaptations of old myths that retell stories of the past.

Book excerpt: 40 MOD�LES DE COULEUR ANIMALE Ce livre color� pour adultes comporte plus de 40 animaux et fournit des heures de soulagement du stress gr�ce � une expression cr�ative. Il pr�sente des petites et grandes cr�atures de for�ts, d'oc�ans, de jungles et de prairies. Les conceptions sont complexes et d�taill�es du d�butant au niveau expert. avantages th�rapeutiques des livres colori�s adultes Les livres de coloration et les pages de coloration pour adultes sont �galement extr�mement th�rapeutiques et peuvent aider � g�n�rer le bien-�tre, le calme, l'attention et les avantages exacts que la m�ditation donne sur le cerveau. De telles activit�s cr�atives sont presque comme le Nirvana pour les �mes des adultes. Encore plus populaires sont les pages de coloriage avec Animal Mandalas pour adultes. Les mandalas sont des motifs sym�triques et des repr�sentations originaires de l'Inde. Quand un adulte colorise ces motifs r�p�titifs, il vit effectivement l'attention et atteint m�me un �tat m�ditatif. Cela a m�me �t� prouv� par plusieurs �tudes scientifiques. Avec tant d'avantages th�rapeutiques des pages de coloration pour les adultes, il est temps que chaque adulte commence � colorier. 1. L'un des premiers scientifiques � avoir �tudi� les avantages th�rapeutiques des pages de coloration pour adultes �tait Carl Jung. Il a �tudi� la coloration de Mandalas depuis la premi�re moiti� du 20�me si�cle. Il a souvent utilis� Mandalas (qui ont des cercles concentriques et des motifs g�om�triques en eux) pour ses patients et a constat� qu'il les a aid�s � devenir plus silencieux et � montrer moins de stress. 2. Selon la psychologue Gloria Martinez Ayala, l'action de la coloration implique � la fois la logique et la cr�ativit�. Lorsque nous utilisons la logique pour reprendre une couleur pour une forme ou un motif particulier, nous activons la partie analytique du cerveau. D'autre part, lorsque nous choisissons de m�langer et de combiner des couleurs, nous activons le c�t� cr�atif du cerveau. Cela aide � int�grer les deux zones du cortex c�r�bral qui contr�lent la vision et contribuent � la coordination fine et aux comp�tences motrices. 3. Les pages de coloration pour les adultes les ram�nent � l'enfance un adulte est transport� vers les jours sans stress de l'enfance. Revenir de ces souvenirs heureux vous aide � vous d�tendre et m�me � vous sentir optimiste et �nergique pour l'avenir. 4. La coloration est comme la m�ditationLa m�ditation est l'art de ne rien faire. C'est aussi l'art du "d�concentr�" qui aide � vous d�tendre et � r�duire le bavardage d'un esprit agit�. Bien que la plupart des gens aient du mal � m�diter, les pages pour colorier et les livres pour adultes aident facilement � induire le m�me �tat de m�ditation. Les colorants Mandalas particuli�rement relaxants car la coloration des motifs ronds et ronds et des cercles concentriques de ces vieux dessins relaxent l'esprit et rendent la personne plus consciente. Il le garde aussi au moment pr�sent - tout comme la m�ditation!

Download or read book People from Our Side written by Peter Pitseolak and published by Hurtig. This book was released on 1975 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The text of People from Our Side consists of Peter Pitseolak's manuscript -- originally written in syllabics -- and a narrative drawn from interviews conducted by Dorothy Eber with the help of young Inuit interpreters. Peter Pitseolak learned the system of reading and writing brought by the missionaries and from an early age formed the habit of keeping a diary. He took his first photograph for a white man who was afraid to approach a polar bear and later, in the early 1940s, acquired his own camera and taught himself, with the help of his wife Aggeok, to develop films in igloo, tent, and hut. His pictures catch, as no white photographer's could, the authentic quality and detail of Eskimo life in the last days of the camp system. Sweeping from nomadic times to the early 1970s, Peter Pitseolak provides a frank and vigorous account of how change came to Baffin Island. A realist who knew he was providing a social history of a vanishing way of life, his story is a farewell to traditional camp life and to Seekooseelak -- where the people of Cape Dorset once had their camps. -- from google books.

Download or read book Prince of Europe written by Philip Mansel and published by Orion Publishing Company. This book was released on 2005 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Habsburg courtier Charles-Joseph Prince de Ligne seduced and symbolized eighteenth-century Europe. Speaking French, the international language of the day, he travelled between Paris and St Petersburg, charming everyone he met. He stayed with Madame du Barry, dined with Frederick the Great and travelled to the Crimea with Catherine the Great. But Ligne was more than a frivolous charmer. He participated in and recorded some of the most important events and movements of his day: the Enlightenment; the struggle for mastery in Germany; the decline of the Ottoman Empire; the birth of German nationalism; and the wars to liberate Europe from Napoleon. He had surprisingly radical views, believing for example in property rights for women, legal rights for Jews and the redistribution of wealth. He was also a highly respected writer and his books on gardens, his letters from the Crimea and his epigrams are considered minor classics of French literature.
