Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Cameron's OdysseyMy greatest difficulty has arisen from Captain Cam eron's failure to record more than a few precise dates. Too frequently, usually, in fact, he contents himself with some such Statement as this occurred thirty years ago. It soon became obvious to me that his arithmetic, though not necessarily his recollection, is often at fault. Such obscurities would have been clarified and deficiencies made good had he lived to review and correct my ver sion. Even before his death both of us worked against hindrances: he was in Japan, I was in Hawaii, we saw each Other for only a few weeks, and he spared me very few hours then. In these circumstances I have had to determine approximate dates by ascertaining when this vessel was wrecked, when that man died, when some other event occurred. Since this book does nor profess to be history, but is no more than one man's account of his own experiences, I believe that I have been successful enough in indicating time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Odyssey for Boys and Girls: Told From Homer The first of these was in the country of the Cyclopes or Round-eyed People. Late on a certain day Ulysses came with his ships to an island, and found in it a beautiful harbour, with a stream falling into it, and a flat beach on which to draw up the ships. That night he and his men slept by the ships, and the next day they made a great feast. The island was full of wild goats. These the men hunted and killed, using their spears and bows. They had been on shipboard for many days, and had had but little food. Now they had plenty, eight goats to every ship, and nine for the ship of Ulysses, because he was the chief. So they ate till they were satisfied, and drank wine which they had carried away from Ismarus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Odyssey, Books I-XII: With Introduction, Notes, Etc The editing of the first half of the Odyssey was under taken for the Clarendon Press Series by the late James Riddell, m.a., Fellow and Tutor of Balliol, a task peculiarly appropriate to his fine taste and intuitive appreciation of Greek scholarship. That work was cut short by his early death, when he had written a commentary on some five books. In preparing this volume for School use I have been glad to consult his admirable notes, but they belong properly to the larger edition of the Odyssey, which is intended to appear later in the Clarendon Series in our joint names.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Modern Odyssey, or Ulysses Up to Date A heavy burden of responsibility rests upon the Shoulders of the adventurer who, regardless of the trouble and anxiety which his conduct may entail upon future gene rations, sails to unknown seas and lightly discovers a new country. All that watchful care for the interests of posterity, which Should never be absent from the thoughts of the prudent, is banished from his mind. A thrill of selfish joy electrifies his frame as the stem of his boat grates upon the strand. He eagerly leaps down, makes an intaglio of ten toes on a virgin Shore, and gives the name of his sweetheart to the most prominent feature of the scene. He hastily takes for granted that he has con ferred a benefit upon mankind, and returns to his native land full of pride, and bequeaths to the world a legacy that cannot be repudiated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Odyssey, or the Adventures of Ulysses: For Boys and Girls A few thoughts upon the nature of the work may be appropriate here. The many points of difference in the Iliad' and Odyssey have raised the question of their common authorship but the best judgment ascribes them both to the same gifted mind. This very difference is a mark of the fertile genius of their great author, and gives an added charm to each. The Iliad, says one.

Download or read book The Shipwreck Sea written by Jeffrey M. Duban and published by CLAIRVIEW BOOKS. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sappho, in the words of poet Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837–1909), was “simply nothing less – as she is certainly nothing more – than the greatest poet who ever was at all.” Born over 2,600 years ago on the Greek island of Lesbos, Sappho, the namesake lesbian, wrote amorously of men and women alike, exhibiting both masculine and feminine tendencies in her poetry and life. What’s left of her writing, and what we know of her, is fragmentary, and thus ever subject to speculation and study. The Shipwreck Sea highlights the love poetry of the soulful Sappho, the impassioned Ibycus, and the playful Anacreon, among other Greek lyric poets of the age (7th to 5th centuries BC), with verse translations into English by author Jeffrey Duban. The book also features selected Latin poets who wrote on erotic themes – Catullus, Lucretius, Horace, and Petronius – and poems by Charles Baudelaire, with his milestone rejoinder to lesbian love (“Lesbos”) and, in the same stanzaic meter, a turn to the consoling power of memory in love’s more frequently tormented recall (“Le Balcon”). Duban also translates selected Carmina Burana of Carl Orff, the poems frequently Anacreontic in spirit. The book’s essays include a comprehensive analysis with a new translation of Horace’s famed Odes 1.5 (“To Pyrrha”), in which the theme of (love’s) shipwreck predominates, and an opening treatise-length argument – exploring painting, sculpture, literature, and other Western art forms – on the irrelevance of gender to artistic creation. (No, Homer was not a woman, and it would make no difference if she were.) Twenty full-color artwork reproductions, masterpieces in their own right, illustrate and bring Duban’s argument to life. Finally, Duban presents a selection of his own love poems, imitations and pastiches written over a lifetime – these composed in the “classical mode”, which is the leitmotif of this volume. The Shipwreck Sea is a delightful and continually thought-provoking companion to The Lesbian Lyre, both books vividly demonstrating that classicism yet thrives in our time, despite the modernism marshaled against it.
