‎STATIUS: THEBAID‎

‎Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0198147821 . Very light shelfwear to book. DJ has some creasing to front panel and sticker residue to rear panel. ; 1.18 x 8.75 x 5.75 Inches; 428 pages; This is a new translation of the Thebaid of Publius Papinius Statius an epic poem in twelve books completed in about AD 90. The Thebaid has been thought by many to stand second only to Virgil among Latin narrative poems. Its theme is the war between Eteocles and Polynices sons of Oedipus for the throne of Thebes. Rich in incident and always dramatic in tone it unfolds a panorama of human ambition and violence triumph and catastrophe. Though remaining within the Homeric and Virgilian tradition it achieves its own power and vitality in thought language and description. Held in high esteem and widely imitated in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance the Thebaid of Statius is not only a masterpiece of poetry but a compelling story at times horrifying noble and pathetic of humankind bound by the power of Fate. .

‎Marburg : Tectum-Verl., 2010. 185 S. ; 21 cm kart.‎

‎Neues Exemplar - Das Unterwegssein prägt das Wesen des Menschen als Wanderer, allein oder in sozialen Gruppen, deren größte die Völkerwanderung war. In den Volksmärchen nahmen die Geschichten darüber einen breiten Raum ein. So zogen die Bremer Stadtmusikanten aus, auf der Suche nach einer besseren Welt und ein armer Junge unternimmt eine Reise in die Hölle, um dem Teufel drei goldene Haare auszureißen. Beate Stauff erläutert die Begriffe Reise, Mobilität, Migration und ihre wechselnden Bedeutungen in den Kinder- und Hausmärchen von Wilhelm und Jakob Grimm. Das Buch vermittelt zudem einen fundierten Überblick über die Entstehung des Märchens als kleine Erzählung seit dem 16. Jahrhundert und der Erzählforschung in der Kulturanthropologie. -- Inhalt: Forschungsstand und Fragestellung -- Forschungsgrundlagen -- Reise, Mobilität, Migration.

James Stephens (1882-1950) was left fatherless in the Dublin slums at the age of two. His mother remarried or took up with another man when James was about six years of age. She abandoned her young son and he was forced to go to the Meath Protestant Industrial School for Boys. The Meath School was cruel and harsh and he ran away to live in the streets or live with families that took to the likely boy. In 1905 'The Greatest Miracle' was published by Arthur Griffith in The United Irishman. Griffith became good friends with Stephens and published his works in his magazine know as the Sinn Fein. From 1905-1910, Stephens attended Gaelic League classes and become involved with political meetings. During this time he published several pieces which focused on Irish national pride, the importance of learning one's Irish language and customs, and remembering the ancient saga heroes. Stephens met many of his great contemporaries during this period including George Russell (AE), George Moore, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, etc. In the year 1912, Stephens published The Charwoman's Daughter and later in the same year his noted work The Crock of Gold. The Crock of Gold was a great success and Stephens moved to Paris so he could concentrate on writing full time. Cynthia Kavanagh who had been his lover since 1907 accompanied him. He later married her in 1919. The Demi-Gods was published in 1914 and in 1915 he moved back to Dublin to become the Registrar of the National Gallery of Ireland (and stayed in that position till 1924). Stephens witnessed the shooting of a man as a result of the Easter Uprising in Dublin in 1916. This became a turning point for him as the event intensified his patriotic feelings and renewed his interest in old Irish literature. Stephens moved to London in the year 1925. He began a series of lecture tours which extended to the United States. In 1935 Stephens began a literary and personal friendship with James Joyce. His colleagues considered Stephens to be a genius who easily embraced fantasy, philosophy, and comedy - those who read him today will still be struck by his genius. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
