R2,048 Discovery Miles 20 480 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Aromas de leyenda de Valle-Inclan sigue la tradicion de las Eglogas de Virgilio para ofrecer un libro bucolico al que se adaptan las leyendas y el paisaje de la tierra natal. El estilo y los ecos modernistas tamizan la influencia clasica y contribuyen al realce de la expresion subjetiva. Con estos presupuestos se analizan los poemas individuales y la construccion unitaria y secuencial del conjunto. Finalmente se reproducen los poemas y se realiza un analisis textual que considera las ediciones de 1907, 1913, 1920 y 1930 para clasificar las variantes y describir el proceso de la version definitiva.

Hermann Diels
R7,777 Discovery Miles 77 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Herman Alexander Diels (1848 1922) published Doxographi Graeci in 1879. In many ways this work established the critical discipline of doxography - the editing, cataloguing, and analysing of extracts of extant classical texts that contain references to the ideas and arguments of lost authors and schools. In Doxographi Graeci Diels analyses passages from the extant work of authors such as Plutarch, Arius Didymus, Diogenes La rtius, Ps-Plutarch, Hippolytus, Ps-Galen, Stobaeus, Theodoret and Eusebius and uses them to uncover information about the Presocratic philosophers and schools whose written treatises are no longer extant. Diels' method of filiation of extant sources, based on the critical methods of his teacher, Herman Karl Usener (1834 1905), allowed critical judgements to be made regarding the reliability and usefulness of extant authors and their references. Diels' magisterial work represented a profound breakthrough in the study of the Presocratic philosophers. It is a monument of classical scholarship.

R421 Discovery Miles 4 210 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. They succeeded. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeshylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Most have carefully updated the translations to bring them even closer to the ancient Greek while retaining the vibrancy for which our English versions are famous. This edition also includes brand-new translations of Euripides' "Medea", "The Children of Heracles", "Andromache", and "Iphigenia among the Tourians", fragments of lost plays by Aeschylus, and the surviving portion of Sophocles' satyr-drama "The Trackers". New introductions for each play offer essential information about its first production, plot, and reception in antiquity and beyond. In addition, each volume includes an introduction to the life and work of its tragedian, as well as notes addressing textual uncertainties and a glossary of names and places mentioned in the plays. In addition to the new content, the volumes have been reorganized both within and between volumes to reflect the most up-to-date scholarship on the order in which the plays were originally written. The result is a set of handsome paperbacks destined to introduce new generations of readers to these foundational works of Western drama, art, and life.

Symposium (Paperback): Plato Symposium (Paperback)
Plato; Translated by Robin Waterfield

In his celebrated masterpiece, Symposium, Plato imagines a high-society dinner-party in Athens in 416 BC at which the guests - including the comic poet Aristophanes and, of course, Plato's mentor Socrates - each deliver a short speech in praise of love. The sequence of dazzling speeches culminates in Socrates' famous account of the views of Diotima, a prophetess who taught him that love is our means of trying to attain goodness. And then into the party bursts the drunken Alcibiades, the most popular and notorious Athenian of the time, who insists on praising Socrates himself rather than love, and gives us a brilliant sketch of this enigmatic character. The power, humour, and pathos of Plato's creation engages the reader on every page. This new translation is complemented by full explanatory notes and an illuminating introduction. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Die Nibelungensage hat sich in Deutschland und in Skandinavien seit Jahrhunderten grosser Beliebtheit erfreut. Wahrend einige Bearbeitungen als Meisterwerke gelten, hat die Hvenische Chronik keine Beachtung gefunden. In der danischen Prosaerzahlung von 1603 wird die Handlung auf die winzige OEresundinsel Hven verlagert, wo Tycho Brahe 21 Jahre lang die Sterne beobachtete. Dort kampft die Riesin Kremild gegen ihren Bruder Hogen um einen Schatz. Der Krieg fuhrt zu Tod und Untergang, aber auch zu Frieden und Freiheit. Die Hvenische Chronik ist von kopfschuttelnden Sagenforschern bislang als "Machwerk" abqualifiziert worden. Sie ist in Wirklichkeit eine kunstvolle, aber verschlusselte Darstellung des damaligen Danemark. Mit diesem Renaissancemarchen errichtete der mutige Verfasser seinem Land und Europa ein unvergleichbares Denkmal.
