Download or read book Memoirs of an Egotist written by Stendhal and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the memoirs of Stendahl or in his own words the 'chatter about his private life' between 1821 and 1830. It was between these dates that he moved to Paris and here looks back on his life as an eccentric bachelor. 'As well as Beyle the clairvoyant self-investigator, the sardonic analyst of Parisian salon society and deliberate cultivator of wit, here emerges Beyle the despairing lover, the shakespearean enthusiast, whose romantic sentiment run always parallel with his eighteenth-century logic'. Marie-Henri Beyle - better-known by his pen name, Stendhal - was born in Grenoble, France in 1783. He turned to writing after the final defeat of Napoleon in 1815, notable works include A Life of Rossini (1824), A Life of Napoleon (1929) and The Red and the Black published in 1830. A number of works were published posthumously, including Lamiel (1889), Memoirs of an Egotist (1892) and Lucien Leuwen (1894). Stendhal is now regarded as one of the earliest and foremost practitioners of literary realism.

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 Militarie Instructions for the Cavallrie written by John Cruso and published by . This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the civil wars that rent England apart in the years 1642-51, there was in print only one English-language manual on the organization of the cavalry, and this is that book. Employed by Parliamentarians and Royalists alike, John Cruso's Militarie Instructions for the Cavallrie - published in 1632 - is both a crucial historical document and a valuable repository of tactical good sense. As Cruso writes in his address to the reader, 'Of making many books there is no end, said the wise king, many ages past; yet for some arts and faculties, I suppose (even in this printing age of ours) we may complain of scarcitie. For among so many authors ancient and modern, which have written of the Art Militarie, is it not strange that hardly any hath fully handled that which concerneth the Cavallrie?' In redressing this absence, Cruso's guide extends to every conceivable aspect of cavalry management, be it the most efficient way to assail a quarter - 'charge him on the reare or on the flanks: if there be any negligence in the quarter, it is likely to be on those parts' - or the nature of officers: 'Men would be Captains before they be souldiers. And hereof the chief cause is ignorance, the fruitfull mother of all errours.' Illuminating the text are twenty pages of detailed contemporary line drawings, which give a fascinating insight into seventeenth-century arms and formations. Militarie Instructions is a milestone in the development of cavalry tactics. Moreover, it is a highly informative and entertaining work through which the engaging personality of the author shines through.
