简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Lucan's epic poem on the civil war between Caesar and Pompey, unfinished at the time of his death, stands beside the poems of Virgil and Ovid in the first rank of Latin epic. This newly annotated, free verse translation conveys the full force of Lucan's writing and his grimly realistic view of the subject. The work is a powerful condemnation of civil war, emphasizing the stark, dark horror of the catastrophies which the Roman state inflicted upon itself. Both the introduction and glossary set the scene for readers unfamiliar with Lucan and explore his relationship with earlier writers of Latin epic, and his interest in the sensational.

简介：      在线阅读本书          Continuing the subversive self-revelation begun in Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, Henry Miller takes readers along a mad, free-associating journey from the damp grime of his Brooklyn youth to the sun-splashed cafes and squalid flats of Paris. With incomparable glee, Miller shifts effortlessly from Virgil to venereal disease, from Rabelais to Roquefort. In this seductive technicolor swirl of Paris and New York, he captures like no one else the blending of people and the cities they inhabit. 查看此商品的顾客也查看了 · Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of American Writers     · Changes and Chances(蜕变与机遇)     · Chelsea Horror Hotel(切尔西恐怖旅馆)     · Little Book of Counting Sheep(睡不着就数羊吧)     · MOLL FLANDERS(无赖弗莱德)     //"; var existStrMsg = "******你已经投过票了,谢谢! ******"; var dealingStrMsg = "******正在处理你的投票,请稍后...... ******"; var xmlHttp = false; function vote(review_id,url,isLogin) { if(isLogin=="true"){ //window.open(url,"reviewVote","height=30,width=200,top=0,left=0,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizeable=no,location=no,status=no"); if(document.getElementById){ try{ xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); }catch(trymicrosoft){ try{ xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); }catch(othermicrosoft){ try{ xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }catch(faild){ xmlHttp = false; } } } } if(!xmlHttp){ alert("Error initializing XMLHttpRequest!"); }else{ document.getElementById("msgLayer"+review_id).innerHTML=dealingStrMsg; xmlHttp.open("GET",url+"&ajaxTime="+new Date().getTime(),true); xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function(){updatePage(review_id)}; xmlHttp.send(null); } }else{ window.location.href=url+"&ajaxTime=notAjax"; } } function updatePage(review_id){ if(xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200){ var result = xmlHttp.responseText; if(result.indexOf("success_no_exist")!=-1){ document.getElementById("msgLayer"+review_id).innerHTML=strMsg; } else if(result.indexOf("success_exist")!=-1){ document.getElementById("msgLayer"+review_id).innerHTML=existStrMsg; } } } function rp(reviewid){ var url = "http://www.amazon.cn/mn/responseWriterApp?uid=168-7112022-4174637"+ "&reviewid=" + reviewid; window.open(url,"responseWrite","height=400,width=600,top=0,left=0,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizeable=no,location=no,status=no"); } //]]>          用户评论(暂无评论)     与其他用户分享你的观点: 我要写评论-->      用户论坛 ( 什么是用户论坛?它和用户评论有何区别?) 话题列表 (共0个话题) 话题最后发表回复目前暂无话题 发起一个新话题 话题: 正文: 当有新留言时,Email通知我.--> (3000字以内) 使用指南(登录后提交) 发言前,请仔细阅读并同意 相关条款。 尊重网上道德,遵守 互联网电子公告服务管理规定及中华人民共和国其他各项有关法律法规;     遵守 点评空间使用规则;     严禁发表危害国家安全、破坏民族团结、破坏国家宗教政策、破坏社会稳定、侮辱、诽谤、教唆、淫秽等内容的作品;     承担一切因你的行为而直接或间接导致的民事或刑事法律责任。      提示: 提示:只有在卓越亚马逊购买过商品的用户才能发表话题。 您可以用以下几种方式找到此商品 图书> 进口原版> Literature & Fiction 文学/小说> United States 美国      图书> 进口原版> Literature & Fiction 文学/小说> World Literature 世界文学

简介：Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 B.C.), known in English as Virgil, was perhaps the single greatest poet of the Roman empire, a friend to the emperor Augustus and the beneficiary of wealthy and powerful patrons. Most famous for his epic of the founding of Rome, the Aeneid, he wrote two other collections of poems: the Georgics and the Bucolics, or Eclogues. The Eclogues were Virgil's first published poems. Ancient sources say that he spent three years composing and revising them at about the age of thirty. Though these poems begin a sequence that continues with the Georgics and culminates in the Aeneid, they are no less elegant in style or less profound in insight than the later, more extensive works. These intricate and highly polished variations on the idea of the pastoral poem, as practiced by earlier Greek poets, mix political, social, historical, artistic, and moral commentary in musical Latin that exerted a profound influence on subsequent Western poetry.

简介：The Odyssey, translated by T. E. Lawrence, an epic 12,000-line poem composed over 2,700 years ago, is the first adventure story in Western literature. It describes the ten-year wanderings of Odysseus in his quest to return home after the Trojan War. Hounded by the sea-god Poseidon and championed by the goddess Athene, he encounters giants, sorceresses, and sea monsters before finally reaching his beloved Ithaca. There he must endure the taunts of the Suitors to his queen, Penelope, who have taken up residence in his palace. At once enchanting fairy tale and gripping drama, the Odyssey is eminently readable, not least for the rich complexity and magnetism of its hero. An inspiration to writers as diverse as Virgil, Swift, and Joyce, the Odyssey has proved enormously influential and continues to captivate readers of all ages.

简介：Virgil?s Homeric Lens reevaluates the traditional view of the Aeneid?s relationship to Homer?s Iliad and Odyssey. Almost since the death of Virgil, there has been an assumption that the Aeneid breaks into two discrete halves: Virgil?s Odyssey, and Virgil?s Iliad. Although modified in various ways over the centuries, this neat dichotomy has gener...   more 籥lly diminished the complexity and resonance of the connection between the two canonical epic poets. This work offers an alternate approach in which Virgil uses the transformative power of the Odyssey as a precise filter through which to read the Iliadic experience. By examining the ways in which Virgil bases his own epic project on the dynamic interaction between the two Homeric poems themselves, Edan Dekel proposes a system in which the Aeneid uses the Odyssey both as a conceptual model for writing an intertextual epic and as a powerful refracting lens for the specific interpretation of the Iliad and its consequences. The traditional view of the Homeric poems as static sources for the construction of distinct "Odyssean" and "Iliadic" halves of the Aeneid is supplanted by an analysis which emphasizes the active and persistent influence of the Odyssey as a guide to processing the major thematic concerns of the Iliad and exploring the multiple aftermaths of the Trojan war.   ?less

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Quintilian expanded Cicero' concepts of oratorical gesture from the decidedly robotic three to the much more natural 20, thereby allowing in emotion. Ovid expanded on self-analysis and disclosure while number of orators and rhetoricians proved themselves to be adept at wit. The influence of Roman rhetoric continued unabated until the Renaissance and continues to be a lively source of study today. The 32 comprehensive essays here prove this point as they examine the roots of Roman rhetoric within its own and the Greek tradition, including its expression in oratory, the social context of representations of the Republic and early empire, the systematization of rhetoric into handbooks and models of style, memory and humor, and the panoply of Roman rhetoricians, grammarians, and teachers. The final section is devoted to the impact of Roman rhetoric on Roman literature, exploring such authors as Virgil, Lucan, Horace, Ovid, Persius, Juvenal and Seneca.

简介：Beginning with a single entry for the year 1889, when he was twenty, and continuing intermittently but indefatigably through his life, the Journals of Andr Gide constitute an enlightening, moving, and endlessly fascinating chronicle of creative energy and conviction. Astutely and thoroughly annotated by Justin O'Brien in consultation with Gide himself, this translation is the definitive edition of Gide's complete journals.The complete journals, representing sixty years of a varied life, testify to a disciplined intelligence in a constantly maturing thought. These pages contain aesthetic appreciations, philosophic reflections, sustained literary criticism, notes for the composition of his works, details of his personal life and spiritual conflicts, accounts of his extensive travels, and comments on the political and social events of the day, from the Dreyfus case to the German occupation.Gide records his progress as a writer and a reader as well as his contacts and conversations with the bright lights of contemporary Europe, from Paul Valry, Paul Claudel, Lon Blum, and Auguste Rodin to Marcel Proust, Stephen Mallarm, Oscar Wilde, and Nadia Boulanger.Devoid of affectation, alternately overtaken by depression and animated by a sense of urgency and hunger for literature and beauty, Gide read voraciously, corresponded voluminously, and thought profoundly, always questioning and doubting in search of the unadulterated truth. 'The only drama that really interests me and that I should always be willing to depict anew', he wrote, 'is the debate of the individual with whatever keeps him from being authentic, with whatever is opposed to his integrity, to his integration. Most often the obstacle is within him. And all the rest is merely accidental'. Volume 4 reveals a creative mind that remains vigorous and unique as Gide enters his seventies. He records the fall of France and the German occupation during World War II, the landing of the Americans and the fall of Tunis, as well as a memorable meeting with General de Gaulle. His literary commentary touches on such writers as Virgil, Goethe, Racine, Dashiell Hammett, and John Steinbeck.

简介：     The Inferno, by Dante Alighieri, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classicspulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.   The Infernoremains literature’s most hallowed and graphic vision of Hell. Dante plunges readers into this unforgettable world with a deceptively simple—and now legendary—tercet:          Midway upon the journey of our life     I found myself within a forest dark     For the straightforward pathway had been lost.          With these words, Dante plunges readers into the unforgettable world of the Inferno—one of the most graphic visions of Hell ever created. In this first part of the epic The Divine Comedy, Dante is led by the poet Virgil down into the nine circles of Hell, where he travels through nightmare landscapes of fetid cesspools, viper pits, frozen lakes, and boiling rivers of blood and witnesses sinners being beaten, burned, eaten, defecated upon, and torn to pieces by demons. Along the way he meets the most fascinating characters known to the classical and medieval world—the silver-tongued Ulysses, lustful Francesca da Rimini, the heretical Farinata degli Uberti, and scores of other intriguing and notorious figures.          This edition of the Infernorevives the famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow translation, which first introduced Dante’s literary genius to a broad American audience. “Opening the book we stand face to face with the poet,” wrote William Dean Howells of Longfellow’s Dante, “and when his voice ceases we may marvel if he has not sung to us in his own Tuscan.” Lyrically graceful and brimming with startlingly vivid images, Dante’s Inferno is a perpetually engrossing classic that ranks with the greatest works of Homer and Shakespeare.          Features a map of Hell and illustrations by Gustave Doré.      Peter Bondanellais Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature and Italian at Indiana University and a past president of the American Association for Italian Studies. His publications include a number of translations of Italian classics, books on Italian Renaissance literature and Italian cinema, and a dictionary of Italian literature.

简介：Publisher's description: Of the great poets, Dante is one of the most elusive and therefore one of the most difficult to adequately render into English verse. In the Inferno, Dante not only judges sin but strives to understand it so that the reader can as well. With this major new translation, Anthony Esolen has succeeded brilliantly in marrying sense with sound, poetry with meaning, capturing both the poem's line-by-line vigor and its allegorically and philosophically exacting structure, yielding an Inferno that will be as popular with general readers as with teachers and students. For, as Dante insists, without a trace of sentimentality or intellectual compromise, even Hell is a work of divine art. Esolen also provides a critical Introduction and endnotes, plus appendices containing Dante's most important sources--from Virgil to Saint Thomas Aquinas and other Catholic theologians--that deftly illuminate the religious universe the poet inhabited.

简介：Milton has long been recognised as being among the English poets most indebted to ancient literature, but the full range and depth of that debt have rarely been explored. His most obvious debt, to Virgil, has been exaggerated and too vaguely described. Here Charles Martindale reassesses that debt and examines the use Milton made of other ancient poets, notably Homer, Ovid and Lucan, and the way in which they influenced his style. Some surprising elements in the style of "Paradise Lost"--Horace, for example--are also uncovered. The Introduction surveys Milton's attitude to the classics and raises questions of method, while the bulk of the book provides a full account of the relationship between Milton and those four poets who influenced him most profoundly. Renaissance views of classical poets are described, and the value of eighteenth-century commentaries on Milton is demonstrated. Finally, Martindale considers the limits of Milton's classicism and the important differences between "Paradise Lost" and its ancient forebears. The book contains a rare combination of scholarship and critical judgement.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The universally acclaimed and award-winning Oxford History of Western Music is the eminent musicologist Richard Taruskin's provocative, erudite telling of the story of Western music from its earliest days to the present. Each book in this superlative five-volume set illuminates-through a representative sampling of masterworks-the themes, styles, and currents that give shape and direction to a significant period in the history of Western music. Music in the Early Twentieth Century , the fourth volume in Richard Taruskin's history, looks at the first half of the twentieth century, from the beginnings of Modernism in the last decade of the nineteenth century right up to the end of World War II. Taruskin discusses modernism in Germany and France as reflected in the work of Mahler, Strauss, Satie, and Debussy, the modern ballets of Stravinsky, the use of twelve-tone technique in the years following World War I, the music of Charles Ives, the influence of peasant songs on Bela Bartok, Stravinsky's neo-classical phase and the real beginnings of 20th-century music, the vision of America as seen in the works of such composers as W.C. Handy, George Gershwin, and Virgil Thomson, and the impact of totalitarianism on the works of a range of musicians from Toscanini to Shostakovich

简介："Troubled politically and personally, Wordsworth and Coleridge turned in 1797 to the London stage. Their tragedies, The Borderers and Osorio, were set in medieval Britain and early modern Spain to avoid the Lord Chamberlain鈥檚 censorship. Drury Lane rejected both, but fifteen years later, Coleridge鈥檚 revision, Remorse, had spectacular success there, inspiring Shelley鈥檚 1819 Roman tragedy, The Cenci, aimed for Covent Garden. Reeve Parker makes a striking case for the power of these intertwined works, written against British hostility to French republican liberties and Regency repression of home-grown agitation. Covertly, Remorse and The Cenci also turn against Wordsworth. Stressing the significance of subtly repeated imagery and resonances with Virgil, Shakespeare, Racine, Jean-Franc抬ois Ducis and Schiller, Parker鈥檚 close readings, which are boldly imaginative and decidedly untoward, argue that at the heart of these tragedies lie powerful dramatic uncertainties driven by unstable passions - what he calls, adapting Coleridge鈥檚 phrase for sorcery, 鈥檇ark employments鈥?--

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 At a time when the French monarchy traced its origins back to ancient Troy, Homeric epic was fated to play a significant political role. Homer came to Renaissance France packaged with an ancient interpretive tradition that made him an authority on all matters but also distinctly separate from Virgil and the Aeneid, rival Italy's foundational myth. Thus, once French humanists learned to read Homer in Greek, they quickly began putting him in the service of their king in order to teach him prudence and amplify his authority. Homer and the Politics of Authority in Renaissance Franceprovides a stimulating perspective on how Homeric authority went from being used by humanists in the role of royal counselors to being exploited by both monarchical and anti-monarchical forces in the service of ideologies, most especially in the Wars of Religion (1562-1598). In turn, French writers of the period transitioned from being monarchical advisors to stirring crowds as actors on the larger political stage. In this study, Marc Bizer not only analyzes a number of works by key authors and humanists-including Michel de Montaigne, Joachim du Bellay, Guillaume Bud茂驴陆, and Jean Dorat, among others- but also examines their poetry, art, pamphlets, and plays. Although there have been several studies of the Homeric legacy in western literature and even in early modern French literature, none has analyzed the political role that Homer played in sixteenth-century France for this circle of important writers. The captivating results of this approach to the post-classical usage of Homer will appeal not only to historians and literary scholars, but also to political scientists, classicists, and art historians.
