The Theban Plays - Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone (Paperback): Sophocles The Theban Plays - Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone (Paperback)
Sophocles; Translated by Ruth Fainlight, Robert J. Littman
R868 Discovery Miles 8 680 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Sophocles' Theban Plays-- "Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone"--lie at the core of the Western literary canon. They are extensively translated, universally taught, and frequently performed. Chronicling the downfall of Oedipus, the legendary king of Thebes, and his descendants, the Theban Plays are as relevant to present-day thought about love, duty, patriotism, family, and war as when they were written 2,500 years ago.

Recent translations of the plays, while linguistically correct, often fail to capture the beauty of Sophocles' original words. In combining the skills of a distinguished poet, Ruth Fainlight, and an eminent classical scholar, Robert J. Littman, this new edition of the Theban Plays is both a major work of poetry and a faithful translation of the original works.

Thoughtful introductions, extensive notes, and glossaries frame each of the plays within their historical contexts and illuminate important themes, mythological roots, and previous interpretations.

This elegant and uncommonly readable translation will make these seminal Greek tragedies accessible to a new generation of readers.

Jewish History in 100 Nutshells (Paperback, Revised): Naomi Pasachoff, Robert J. Littman Jewish History in 100 Nutshells (Paperback, Revised)
Naomi Pasachoff, Robert J. Littman
R1,475 Discovery Miles 14 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

How does this Jewish history book differ from all others? Instead of burdening the reader with endless details about every single aspect of Jewish history, Pasachoff and Littman provide essential information, easily digested by readers of all ages, that chronicles only the major events and people of the past. The history of the Jews covers a period of over 3,500 years, with an overwhelming number of countries and lands. It is a microcosm of the history of the world. Consequently, even a one-volume work can be difficult to read from cover to cover to gain the sweep of Jewish history. This book speaks to the reader who is interested in individual topics or periods and wants a quick-reference guide to the people and places that truly shaped Jewish history. At the same time, if read from beginning to end, these 'nutshells' will provide a chronological history of the Jews.
