Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTION 2012 Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, Achilles befriends the shamed prince, and as they grow into young men skilled in the arts of war and medicine, their bond blossoms into something deeper - despite the displeasure of Achilles's mother Thetis, a cruel sea goddess. But when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, Achilles must go to war in distant Troy and fulfill his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus goes with him, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.
Download or read book Songs of Experience written by Martin Jay and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2005-01-10 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Martin Jay is one of the most influential intellectual historians in contemporary America, and here he shows once again a willingness to tackle the 'big issues' in the Western cultural tradition…. A remarkable history of ideas about the nature of human experience."—Lloyd Kramer, author of Threshold of a New World "A magisterial study of one of the most elusive, contested, and pervasively important concepts of the Western philosophical tradition. Ranging from epistemology and aesthetics to the philosophy of history, religion, and politics, Songs of Experience brilliantly traces the major lines of theory and debate. Insightful, rich, and masterfully narrated, Jay's book sings with that well-tempered voice of erudition, synthetic intelligence, and generous grace that has become his enviable trademark."—Richard Shusterman, author of Pragmatist Aesthetics "This illuminating, provocative volume consolidates Martin Jay's standing as our leading modern intellectual historian. Ranging sure-footedly from ancient to postmodern discourse, Jay offers finely balanced readings of thinkers who have wrestled with the elusive concept of experience. Because Jay respects—and presents so clearly and sympathetically—positions different from his own, Songs of Experience gives readers the resources necessary to embrace or resist his own bold interpretations of philosophers from Kant and Burke through Dilthey and Dewey to Foucault and Rorty. This book will prove as indispensable to intellectual historians as the idea of experience itself."—James T. Kloppenberg, author of The Virtues of Liberalism

Download or read book Hearing Homer s Song written by Robert Kanigel and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed biographer of Jane Jacobs and Srinivasa Ramanujan comes the first full life and work of arguably the most influential classical scholar of the twentieth century, who overturned long-entrenched notions of ancient epic poetry and enlarged the very idea of literature. In this literary detective story, Robert Kanigel gives us a long overdue portrait of an Oakland druggist's son who became known as the "Darwin of Homeric studies." So thoroughly did Milman Parry change our thinking about the origins of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey that scholars today refer to a "before" Parry and an "after." Kanigel describes the "before," when centuries of readers, all the way up until Parry's trailblazing work in the 1930's, assumed that the Homeric epics were "written" texts, the way we think of most literature; and the "after" that we now live in, where we take it for granted that they are the result of a long and winding oral tradition. Parry made it his life's work to develop and prove this revolutionary theory, and Kanigel brilliantly tells his remarkable story--cut short by Parry's mysterious death by gunshot wound at the age of thirty-three. From UC Berkeley to the Sorbonne to Harvard to Yugoslavia--where he traveled to prove his idea definitively by studying its traditional singers of heroic poetry--we follow Parry on his idiosyncratic journey, observing just how his early notions blossomed into a full-fledged theory. Kanigel gives us an intimate portrait of Parry's marriage to Marian Thanhouser and their struggles as young parents in Paris, and explores the mystery surrounding Parry's tragic death at the Palms Hotel in Los Angeles. Tracing Parry's legacy to the modern day, Kanigel explores how what began as a way to understand the Homeric epics became the new field of "oral theory," which today illuminates everything from Beowulf to jazz improvisation, from the Old Testament to hip-hop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bryn Mawr College Yearbook, 1907 Whenever anyone in 1907 Wishes to say that she is particularly afraid, she says I feel just as ifi were going to my first match game, and we all know What she means. Nothing, I think, can quite equal the delicious terror that pervaded us during the hockey season Freshman Year, not even the feeling that came over us just as we were about to mount the platform to receive our degrees on June 6, 1907, although there Was great similar ity between them. In the first place our nerves were set tingling by the severity of our first training. The number of hours we slept, the number of glasses of water We drank between meals, the asceticism we practised as to food, ought to draw tears from even a hardened cynic - as to training matters - like Carola, and the Way We took our captain's talks to heart, is most affecting to dwell upon. Another factor which increased our dread was the sudden shock we received about our opponents. For some occult reason we expected to play 1906, and had even practised three long songs to them, two of which never saw the light until Senior Year. Even then I thought I catight a gleam of bewilderment in the eyes of the few 1906 present When We sang about putting the Sophomore in a hole. When the news that we had drawn 1905 reached us, Rachel Weeping for her children, Achilles mourning for Patroclus, and all other mournful events of sacred and profane history, were scenes Of gaiety compared to the consternation and grief which prostrated the Whole class of 1907. Even those of us who had been puffed up with pride and joy on receipt of a note on the back of Bunny's visiting card - a curious proceeding, akin to Varsity announcements - now fell from the seventh heaven, and searched the future in vain for rays Of joy. We soothed our feelings somewhat by learning new Words to the tune Of the third song, i.e., Wearing of the Green, hastily written at the eleventh hour by Pe Ayer, and this remarkable production, in spite of the scoffs and jeers Of other classes, 0 articles in the Tipyn o'bob and even of fickle members of 1907 itself in these latter days, has always remained dear to our hearts.

Download or read book Song written by John Potter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most innovative singers, a vibrant history of song stretching from Hildegard von Bingen and Benjamin Britten to Björk “Songs can be intensely personal (whether you hear them or sing them) and none of us would choose the same twelve songs as anyone else. My choices are based on decades of performing experience in many different genres, but I hope they will reveal aspects of our common humanity as the story evolves from the Middle Ages to the present.” In this celebratory account, author and singer John Potter tells the European story of song. The form has captivated audiences and excited performers for centuries, from the music of the troubadours and the Christian liturgy through classical composers such as Bach and Schumann up to Britten, Berio, and the rise of popular music. Choosing twelve key works, Potter offers a personal tour through this vital tradition, from John Dowland’s “Flow My Tears” to George Gershwin’s “Summertime.” Throughout, he reveals who wrote and sang these joyful masterpieces—and what they mean to singers and audiences today.
