Le feu du Dedans
Paris France: GALLIMARD 1984. Paperback. Very Good. Texte francais couverture souple. �tat d'usage: tr�s bon etat.Le Feu du dedans n'est pas seulement la reprise et l'approfondissement des notions famili�res de " voir " et de l' " aigle " cette instance supr�me introduite par Castaneda dans Le Don de l'Aigle et dont les �manations sont � la fois la source et l'aboutissement de la perception et de la conscience. L'architecture du mythe s'enrichit ici de nouveaux th�mes l' " impulsion de la terre " le " monde de l'homme " la " tani�re de la perception " le " point d'assemblage " ; ce d�voilement progressif d�bouche sur la vision d'un univers d'un foisonnement et d'une coh�rence remarquables. L'enseignement prodigu� au nouveau nagual par son ma�tre don Juan comporte en outre une dimension tout � fait in�dite dans l'ouvre de Castaneda. Il s'inscrit ici explicitement dans une tradition mill�naire dont la gen�se et le cheminement se trouvent int�gralement retrac�s. L'�volution de la " connaissance " depuis l'�poque des anciens voyants tolt�ques - prodigieusement dou�s mais victimes " par fascination " de leurs d�couvertes - jusqu'� celle des naguals du clan de don Juan est en effet expos�e et comment�e tout au long du livre dont elle constitue le contrepoint permanent. Le r�cit des crises travers�es par les gardiens de cette tradition et celui de la v�ritable " r�forme " � laquelle elle s'est vue soumise au cours des temps sont l'occasion d'une ex�g�se qui prend souvent l'allure d'un trait� du bien et du mal de la sagesse et de la folie. Au terme de son explication et la veille de quitter ce monde don Juan a livr� � son disciple les cl�s qui devront lui permettre de poursuivre � son tour la qu�te de la libert� totale cette conscience totale qui donne la ma�trise du feu int�rieur. <br/> <br/> GALLIMARD paperback

CHAUCER'S JOBS
Palgrave Macmillan. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 2004. Hardcover. 1403966257 . Minor Shelfwear; The New Middle Ages; 0.7 x 8.3 x 5.5 Inches; 176 pages; Geoffrey Chaucer was not a writer primarily but a privileged official place-holder. Prone to violence including rape assault and extortion the poet was employed first at domestic personal service and subsequently at policework of various sorts protecting the established order during a period of massive social upset. Chaucer's Jobs shows that the servile and disciplinary nature of the daily work Chaucer did was repeated in his poetry which by turns flatters his aristocratic betters and deals out discipline to malcontent others. Carlson contends that it was this social and political quality of Chaucer's writings rathen than artistic merit that made him the "Father of English Poetry." . Palgrave Macmillan hardcover

COLLECTED STUDIES ON THE ROMAN NOVEL / ENSAYOS SOBRE LA NOVELA ROMANA
Editorial Brujas. Very Good. 2013. Softcover. Minor shelfwear. Minor discoloration to front wrap. Else fine. ; The ancient novel no longer occupies a marginal position in the field of Classical studies. On the contrary it is an area of research that is constantly expanding thanks in part to the discovery of new papyri. But there is also a growing interest in so-called "fringe narratives" in their own right and far more attention is being paid to Christian and Byzantine fiction as well as to other points of contact between the ancient novel and traditions from outside the Greco-Roman world. The Roman novel too has recently garnered increased attention from scholars of ancient narrative; in addition to Petronius and Apuleius both of whom are traditionally included in the canon of major Latin authors we now include the late and anonymous novella known as the Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri. The present volume which collects studies by renowned scholars from North America South America and Europe offers varied approaches and multiple points of view on Latin narrative fiction; taken together they provide rich insights into the whole of classical culture. ; Ordia Prima Studia 7; 312 pages; Isbn: 9789875913899 .

Novel History: Historian and Novelists Confront America's Past And Each Other
Simon & Schuster 2001. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Very-good clean condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. 352 pages. NO tears inside book. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. 22 pages show writing/highlighting. Does NOT interfere with reading. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. Historical fiction is a contradiction in terms. History is what happened; fiction what did not. Yet great novelists have often disregarded this logical difficulty taking up the tools of the historian to explore the shadowy recesses of the past. Their labors have brought forth many literary treasures. But how accurately do these masterpieces of the imagination reflect the past In Novel History twenty accomplished historians consider this question in relation to some of our most important historical novels. Their essays are followed in most instances by a response from the novelist. These dialogues illuminate one of the most fascinating and perplexing issues of our time -- the relation between the "real" past and our finest imaginative renderings of it. Novel History includes essays by distinguished historians such as John Demos Michael Kammen Joan D. Hedrick John Lukacs Eugene D. Genovese Richard White and Tom Wicker and responses from notable novelists including Gore Vidal John Updike Russell Banks Don DeLillo Larry McMurtry Jane Smiley Madison Smartt Bell William Styron T. Coraghessan Boyle William Kennedy Charles Frazier Thomas Fleming and Tim O'Brien. Novel History is both a uniquely compelling perspective and superb collection of literary history.

Carney Elizabeth
OLYMPIAS Mother of Alexander the Great
Routledge. Fine with no dust jacket. 2006. Hardcover. 0415333164 . Women of the Ancient World; 221 pages; Modern conventional wisdom knows Olympias as a pitiless and savage woman practitioner of barbaric Dionysian rites compelled by jealousy and ruthless ambition to the murder of her rivals in order to secure her son's succession to the throne of Macedon. In this way she is credited for Alexander the Great's unprecedented achievements-yet the scale of her son's epic story has obscured her own. Such critical accounts of Olympias' actions have made unforgiving and often unfounded judgments of her motivations. This myth however originates from later Hellenic texts to which her strength and tenacity represented an abhorrent contradiction to contemporary gender roles. Later historians have all too often perpetrated this ancient sexual stereotyping by failing to question these sources. In this the first modern biography of Olympias Elizabeth Carney penetrates myth fictional and sexual politics to reveal a fascinating and wholly misunderstood figure. Through a close and critical assessment of the sources Olympias is humanized as she is placed in the context ofhen own brutal political world. Looking separately at: � The role of Greek religion in Olympias' life � Literary and artistic traditions about Olympias found throughout the later ancient periods and� Varying representations of Olypias found in the major ancient sources .
