Download or read book Lucian written by Francis Greenleaf Allinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lucian: Selected Writings Repeated experience has convinced the editor that Lucian has a place in the college curriculum. The Introduction states (p. Xxix) some of the reasons for this claim, and is also intended to call atten tion to the continuity of Lucian's influence, especially from the time of the Reformation. The Conspectus of Lucian's Greek (pp. Xxxiv xlii) gives in compact form some of his peculiarities and man nerisms. It is intended as a caution to the student against certain divergences from the Attic, and, with the account of the Common Dialect, may at the same time lay emphasis on the continuity of the Greek language from Homer to the present day. The brief special Introductions to each selection are intended to secure a sympathetic reading of the individual pieces rather than to serve as summaries of their contents.

Download or read book Lucian s True History written by Lucian Of Samosata and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucian's True History By Lucian of Samosata True Stories or True Fictions is a parody of travel tales, by the Greek-speaking Assyrian author Lucian of Samosata, the earliest known fiction about travelling to outer space, alien life-forms and interplanetary warfare. Written in the 2nd century, the novel has been referred to as "the first known text that could be called science fiction." The work was intended by Lucian as a satire against contemporary and ancient sources, which quote fantastic and mythical events as truth. Lucian's True Stories eludes a clear-cut literary classification. Its multilayered character has given rise to interpretations as diverse as science fiction, fantasy, satire or parody, depending on how much importance scholars attach to Lucian's explicit intention of telling a story of falsehoods.

It is true that Dryden's Life - written for the translation By Eminent Hands, which appeared in 171 l - occupies some thirty-five octavo pages but he is candid enough to admit that as many lines would suffice for the known facts and in this instance at least his malignant cousin's sarcasm 1 on his prefaces is fairly justified.

I wonder who it is - I've only booked one up ticket to-day; James White it was, and he came back by the so it isn't him.' The station-master made no reply, feeling that another moment would answer the question definitely. He walked forward as the train drew up, and amidst the harsh grinding of its wheels threw a greeting to the engine-driver, which he had already given four times that day and would give again as the train went back two hours later. His eyes, straying along the train, caught sight of a hand fumbling at the handle of a third-class compartment, and he hastened to open the door. It's you, is it, Mr. Pepperdine?' he said. I wondered who was getting out - it's not often that this train brings us a passenger.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
