Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nostradamus (Michel de Nostradame) was born on December 14, 1503 in St. Remy, Provence, France. Nostradamus came from a long line of Jewish doctors and scholars. He is considered by many as one of the most famous and important writers of history prophecies. He is famous mainly for his book 'The Prophecies, ' consisting of quarantine in rhyme. Supporters of the trustworthiness of these prophecies attribute to Nostradamus the ability to predict an incredible number of events in world history, including the French Revolution, the Atomic bomb, the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the attacks of 11 September 2001. However, no one has ever proved that Nostradamus's quarters can provide reliable data for the foreseeable future. Nostradamus had the visions which he later recorded in verse while staring into water or flame late at night, sometimes aided by herbal stimulants, while sitting on a brass tripod. The resulting quatrains (four line verses) are oblique and elliptical, and use puns, anagrams and allegorical imagery. Most of the quatrains are open to multiple interpretations, and some make no sense whatsoever. Some of them are chilling, literal descriptions of events, giving specific or near-specific names, geographic locations, astrological configurations, and sometimes actual dates. It is this quality of both vagueness and specificity which allows each new generation to reinterpret Nostradamus.

Download or read book Blason Po tique written by Alison Saunders and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1981 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book - the first full-length study of the blason poétique examines the evolution of this French genre in the course of the sixteenth century, but also traces its earliest heraldic origins and indicates its subsequent development into the seventeenth century. The blason is treated in general but attention is concentrated particularly upon the anatomical blasons and contreblasons written by Clément Marot and his contemporaries in the 1530s and 1540s with a revaluation of their chronology in the light of hitherto «lost» editions, and an examination of the poems themselves and their debt both to the native French tradition and to Italian influences. Parallels are traced with contemporary illustrated verse, and the study attempts to demonstrate how - far from being an ephemeral eccentricity - the genre fits into the overall pattern of sixteenth-century French verse.

Download or read book Epic and Empire written by David Quint and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander the Great, according to Plutarch, carried on his campaigns a copy of the Iliad, kept alongside a dagger; on a more pronounced ideological level, ancient Romans looked to the Aeneid as an argument for imperialism. In this major reinterpretation of epic poetry beginning with Virgil, David Quint explores the political context and meanings of key works in Western literature. He divides the history of the genre into two political traditions: the Virgilian epics of conquest and empire that take the victors' side (the Aeneid itself, Camoes's Lusíadas, Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata) and the countervailing epic of the defeated and of republican liberty (Lucan's Pharsalia, Ercilla's Araucana, and d'Aubigné's Les tragiques). These traditions produce opposing ideas of historical narrative: a linear, teleological narrative that belongs to the imperial conquerors, and an episodic and open-ended narrative identified with "romance," the story told of and by the defeated. Quint situates Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained within these rival traditions. He extends his political analysis to the scholarly revival of medieval epic in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and to Sergei Eisenstein's epic film, Alexander Nevsky. Attending both to the topical contexts of individual poems and to the larger historical development of the epic genre, Epic and Empire provides new models for exploring the relationship between ideology and literary form.

Download or read book Three Temporal Kings written by Michal Deschausses and published by . This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This modern rendition of the quatrains of Nostradamus is offered after more than three decades of research. This clarification of the enigmatic verse of Nostradamus is the most comprehensive to date that brings forth the first true understanding - a connection and meaning for the verses not heretofore seen. Each of the verses of the quatrains of Nostradamus speaks about the rampant strategies of one of three Antichrists. Two of these Antichrists would dominate the human race culminating spiritual forces into the Third Antichrist - the One who would fully incarnate the supernatural forces of Satan ultimately torturing humanity in the great and final war against God bringing the End of Days and the cataclysmic changes ushering in a new age. The prophecies of Nostradamus have been in print for almost five hundred years - longer than any book except the Holy Bible. His prophecies are biblically sound. In each new generation people in nearly every nation have continued to pour over the verses of Nostradamus seeking higher truth and understanding. Nostradamus wrote poetic prophecy in the form of quatrains, four line stanzas filled with a medley of perplexing symbols and rhetoric. Each original chapter, called Centuries, contained one hundred quatrains. Even as John in Revelation, Nostradamus did not understand in high detail all the future modalities that he envisioned, and the use of symbolism allowed him to portray his visions without the limitation of mere words. In Century III, Verse 94, Nostradamus explained the fate of his work. He stated that for five centuries his verses would be shrouded in mystery. Then, in the twentieth century an interpreter would bring them to light and understanding. The quatrains of Nostradamus relay an important, divine message to humankind and contain highly moralistic, philosophical, and spiritual wisdom which cannot be ignored. Nostradamus was a prophetic messenger of the Divine Plan. The social, economic, political, and spiritual rewards make it evident that the Nostradamus verses are a divine gift in severe servitude to humanity. The primary purpose for Nostradamus' quatrains has always been to shed light upon written prophecies that were offered to the world in an effort to educate mankind in reference to human iniquities and the effects thereof rendered upon the world in which we live. But, even more, the verses were intended to help people reconnect to the Divine seeing that the spiritual world is a reality that we cannot ignore. Nostradamus wrote exclusively and specifically about Three Temporal Kings who would rise to power resulting from political events beginning in about 1700 A.D. These Antichrists would change the course of history and life on earth for beyond three hundred years until the biblical end of the world when the entire cosmic order would change into a new age. This message of the old prophet coincides directly with the messages of the honored biblical prophecies. Not even taking into account the fact of strong evidence that the quatrains are divine and intended to educate humans in reference to a higher evolutionary path, they have remained in print since the sixteenth century, are a vital part of literature today, and more than likely will be around for a very long time.
