Book excerpt: Manneken Pis 撒尿小童 -Legendary Stories Collection 中外英雄故事选集 Bilingual Chinese and Foreign Cultural Reading Series for IB, IGCSE & AP Chinese, HSK Intermediate to Advanced Learners 双语中外文化阅读丛书 #07 In the tapestry of human existence, woven through time and tradition, are threads of stories that transcend the boundaries of reality. These are tales that echo through the corridors of history, myths that dance on the edges of imagination, and legends that defy the grasp of time itself. As we embark on this journey through the realms of legendary stories, we find ourselves at the crossroads of myth and reality, where the extraordinary meets the ordinary. This collection is a celebration of the human spirit's boundless capacity for storytelling, an exploration of the narratives that have been passed down through generations. Here, the pages breathe with the whispers of heroes, gods, and mythical creatures, inviting readers to lose themselves in the enchanting landscapes of folklore and fable. From the ancient epics that have shaped civilizations to the folklore that colors the tapestry of diverse cultures, each story is a testament to the universal power of narrative. These legends are not merely tales of the past; they are living entities that continue to shape our understanding of the world and ourselves. As we delve into the rich tapestry of these legendary stories, let us remember that, in the realm of myths, truth often wears the cloak of metaphor, and the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. It is in these blurred lines that the essence of human experience finds its expression. May this collection be a vessel that carries you across oceans of time, introducing you to characters whose names have become synonymous with courage, wisdom, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. Through the corridors of these tales, may you find moments of reflection, inspiration, and perhaps, a touch of the extraordinary within the ordinary. So, dear reader, embark with us on this odyssey into the heart of legendary narratives, where the echoes of the past reverberate in the present, and the ageless stories continue to cast their spell on the human soul.

Download or read book Regarding Manneken Pis written by Catherine Emerson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manneken Pis, a fountain featuring a bronze child urinating, has stood on the same Brussels street corner since at least the mid-fifteenth century. Since there is no consensus on its meaning, it has been used to express many different readings of social relations in a complex city and nation state. It has formed part of the festival culture of the city - from royal entries to gay pride - but has also been exploited in conflicts arising out of war and occupation, and the tensions inherent in modern Belgium. Drawing on archives, histories, police reports, devotional literature, ephemera and a wealth of other sources, Catherine Emerson examines how one smaller-than-lifesized water source has come to embody a certain sort of Brussels identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nature of the Beast is a New York Times bestselling Chief Inspector Gamache novel from Louise Penny. Hardly a day goes by when nine year old Laurent Lepage doesn't cry wolf. From alien invasions, to walking trees, to winged beasts in the woods, to dinosaurs spotted in the village of Three Pines, his tales are so extraordinary no one can possibly believe him. Including Armand and Reine-Marie Gamache, who now live in the little Quebec village. But when the boy disappears, the villagers are faced with the possibility that one of his tall tales might have been true. And so begins a frantic search for the boy and the truth. What they uncover deep in the forest sets off a sequence of events that leads to murder, leads to an old crime, leads to an old betrayal. Leads right to the door of an old poet. And now it is now, writes Ruth Zardo. And the dark thing is here. A monster once visited Three Pines. And put down deep roots. And now, Ruth knows, it is back. Armand Gamache, the former head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec, must face the possibility that, in not believing the boy, he himself played a terrible part in what happens next.

Download or read book Pissing Figures 1280 2014 written by Jean-Claude Lebensztejn and published by David Zwirner Books. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Claude Lebensztejn’s history of the urinating figure in art, Pissing Figures 1280–2014, is at once a scholarly inquiry into an important visual motif, and a ribald statement on transgression and limits in works of art in general. Lebensztejn is one of France’s best-kept secrets. A world-class art historian who has lectured and taught at major universities in the United States, his work has remained almost entirely in French, his American audience limited to a small but dedicated group of cognoscenti. First introducing the Manneken Pis—the iconic little boy whose stream of urine supplies water to this famous fountain and is also the logo for a Belgian beer company—the author takes the reader through a semi-scatological maze of cultural history. The earliest example is a fresco scene located directly above Cimabue’s Crucifixion from around 1280 at the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, in which Lebensztejn’s careful eye locates an angel behind a pillar who looks like he is about to urinate through a hole in his garment. He continues to navigate expertly through cultural twists and turns, stopping to discuss Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1968 film Teorema, for example, and Marlene Dumas’s 1996–1997 homage to Rembrandt’s pissing woman. At every moment, Lebensztejn’s prose is lively, his thinking dynamic, and his subject matter entertaining. In this short and poignant cultural history, readers not only find the care for detail that has made Lebensztejn into one of the greatest European art historians, but also the rebelliousness that makes him one of the most interesting intellectuals of our time. The first widely distributed book of Lebensztejn’s in English, Pissing Figures 1280–2014 is simultaneously published in France by Éditions Macula.
