Thomas Hardy
The Woodlanders

2004 y.
Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: `The Woodlanders` contains some of Thomas Hardy`s finest writing. Educated beyond her station, Grace Melbury returns to the woodland village of Little Hintock and cannot marry her intended, Giles Winterborne. Her alternative choice proves disastrous, and in a moving tale that has vibrant characters, many humorous moments and genuine pathos coupled with tragic irony, Hardy eschews a happy ending. With characteristic derision, he exposes the cruel indifference of the archaic legal system of his day, and shows the tragic consequences of untimely adherence to futile social and religious proprieties.

Thomas Seifrid
The Word Made Self: Russian Writings On Language, 1860-1930

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhen Osip Mandelstam wrote that the Russian word was `sentient and breathing flesh,` he voiced one of the most powerful themes in his culture. In The Word Made Self, Thomas Seifrid explores this Russian fascination with the power of the word as expressed in the work of philosophers, theologians, and artists of the Silver Age and early Soviet period. He shows that their diverse works (poems, novels, philosophical and religious tracts) share an attempt to articulate `a model of selfhood within the phenomenon of language.` The thinkers included in this book?among them Pavel Florenskii, Roman Jakobson, Aleksei Losev, and Gustav Shpet?frequently responded to the work of contemporary European philosophers even as they drew upon and revitalized powerful elements of early Russian religious thought. On Seifrid?s view, this highly original body of writing about language was the essential context for the development of Russian Futurism, Formalism, and the work… [detailed...]

Анна Ахматова
The Word That Causes Death`s Defeat: Poems of Memory

2004 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: Anna Akhmatova, one of twentieth-century Russia`s greatest poets, was viewed as a dangerous element by post-Revolution authorities. One of the few unrepentant poets to survive the Bolshevik revolution and subsequent Stalinist purges, she set for herself the artistic task of preserving the memory of pre-Revolutionary cultural heritage and of those who had been silenced. This book presents Nancy K.Anderson`s superb translations of three of Akhmatova`s most important poems: `Requiem`, a commemoration of the victims of Stalin`s Terror, `The Way of All the Earth`, a work to which the poet returned repeatedly over the last quarter-century of her life and which combines Old Russian motifs with the modernist search for a lost past, and `Poem Without a Hero`, widely admired as the poet`s magnum opus. Each poem is accompanied by extensive commentary. The complex and allusive `Poem Without a Hero` is also provided with an extensive critical commentary that draws on the poet`s manuscripts… [detailed...]

The classic thriller of an ancient manuscript, a secret society committed to hiding an explosive truth, and the man who must uncover that truth--if he can stay alive long enough In the ruins of the ancient Roman seaport of Ostia Antica, an Italian archaeologist has discovered a first century papyrus, its faded text revealing a new gospel written by James, younger brother of Jesus. This discovery will show the world a new Jesus Christ, fill in the missing years of his ministry, contradict the existing accounts of his life--and potentially destroy the foundation of 2,000 years of Western civilization.

The Words Wanting Out: Poems Selected and New

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The Words Wanting Out is the first selection from one of Canada`s most respected poets. In 1982 Barry Dempster landed on the short list for the Governor General`s Award for Poetry for his very first book, and has since published seven more collections to high praise. Over this time, Dempster has chosen to keep a relatively low profile, relocating from Toronto to the small town of Holland Landing, Ontario, and only publishing his work at small literary presses. Many of his collections are either out of print or not widely distributed, making all of his titles highly sought after by poetry readers across Canada who have discovered his poignant writing by reputation, word-of-mouth, literary journals or by his contributions to our cultural landscape as an editor, instructor and critic. The Words Wanting Out collects the best poems of Dempster`s varied and dynamic output, including those from his 2003 collection Living Well (available in limited… [detailed...]

The Words and Music of Bob Marley

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Publishers
Description: Time magazine made Bob Marley`s impact strikingly clear when it named Exodus the most important album of the 20th century. Throughout his life and perhaps even more since his death in 1981 at the age of 36, Marley`s music has demonstrated a unique ability to combine with almost any cultural setting, no matter how different the elements might at first appear. Through his adaptable, yet enduring musical messages, he represents an especially articulate type of singer-songwriter. Marley released a large quantity of introspective, autobiographical material at the height of his success and it is thus only in a work such as this--in which the artist is investigated through his recorded output--that one can understand who this great man truly was and what he hoped to achieve through his life and music. The Words and Music of Bob Marley investigates Marley`s creative output chronologically and provides complementary biographical information where it is relevant and helpful. Themes discussed… [detailed...]

The Words and Music of Frank Zappa

2007 y.
Publisher: Bison Books
Description: The Words and Music of Frank Zappa moves beyond the details of Frank Zappa’s life (1940–93) toward a focused treatment of the rock and pop songs of this great American composer. Today Zappa’s music can be appreciated as a whole, emerging as a coherent, thoughtful, and innovative—if somewhat daunting—body of work. Author Kelly Fisher Lowe has left no aspect of that work unexamined, from Zappa’s role as a satirist of the highest order to his place in the genre of “progressive rock” and his importance as an influential critic of American culture and society. The volume begins with discussions of Zappa`s role as a satirist and his musical style, then proceeds to an in-depth examination of his albums. Through this extended engagement with Zappa’s music, a surprisingly clear perspective on his personal views emerges, shedding light on his treatment of such topics as the falsified notion of love in popular culture, the compromising influence of money on popular music, and the concept of… [detailed...]

The Words and Music of Paul Simon

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Publishers
Description: Paul Simon is commonly acknowledged to be one of the most successful singer-songwriters of the pop-rock era. His work has flourished in the context of Simon and Garfunkel as well as in his own solo career. Starting with the folk-rock style that marked his earliest significant success, he has drawn on a wide variety of influences, including many American traditions and, later, many international ones as well. He has won multiple Grammy awards in both the duo and the solo phases of his career. His songwriting has also provided the impetus for brief forays into film and musical theatre. After providing a brief biographical overview, this work examines Simon`s songwriting work in depth, providing a critical discussion of each song as a fusion of text and music so as to help the reader to identify elements that enhance appreciation. A particularly valuable contribution in this context is the discussion of the wide variety of musical elements that contribute significantly to the value of… [detailed...]

Description: New York Times bestselling author Sarah Vowell explores the Puritans and their journey to America in The Wordy Shipmates. Even today, America views itself as a Puritan nation, but Vowell investigates what that means -- and what it should mean. What was this great political enterprise all about? Who were these people who are considered the philosophical, spiritual, and moral ancestors of our nation? The people she finds are highly literate, deeply principled, and surprisingly feisty. Their story is filled with pamphlet feuds, witty courtroom dramas, and bloody vengeance. Along the way she asks:? Was Massachusetts Bay Colony governor John Winthrop a communitarian, a Christ-like Christian, or conformity`s tyrannical enforcer? Answer: Yes!? Was Rhode Island`s architect, Roger Williams, America`s founding freak or the father of the First Amendment? Same difference.? What was the Puritans` pet name for the Pope?

The Work and the Gift

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The Work and the Gift considers how working and giving are taken for opposites and revealed as each other`s ghostly shadow. We ask ourselves, for instance, to work for a wage and a living, dooming ourselves forever to the curse of daily toil, and yet we imagine the magnum opus or the oeuvre as a labor of love. We ask ourselves to give with no thought of return, yet we still tell ourselves to give only to the deserving and only where our giving will do some good. Rangingfrom Marx and Derrida to Friedrich Hayek and Alvin Toffler, Scott Cutler Shershow here explores the predictions of political thinkers on both the left and the right that work is fundamentally changing, or even disappearing, the debates among anthropologists and historians about an archaic gift-economy that preceded capitalism and might reemerge in its wake, contemporary political battles over charity and social welfare, and attempts by modern and postmodern artists to destabilize the… [detailed...]
