1949biblio423<p>This is a hardly opened extremely rare copy of an largely unknown Hungarian/Viennese woman surrealist writer who published in Hungarian with this exception. These two early 20th century folk tales reveal a romantic sensibility with fantastic shadings in the vein of Meyrinck even Kafka from a writer virtually unknown in the U.S. She is a discovery waiting to be made for the energetic student of the modern melding of Eastern European artistic traditions.</p><p>Photo on request.</p> Universum Book Publishing Company hardcover

201215567Éditions Latomus. 2012. Softcover. Fine. Mythos generell und der Troja-Mythos im besonderen der sich vor allem um die Gestalten von Paris und Helena rankt war immer schon offen für unterschiedliche Deutungen konnte daher auch für die Vermittlung politischer oder ideologischer Botschaften „maniuliert“ werden. In diesem Buch werden zwei unterschiedliche und doch vergleichbarte Beispiele präsentiert: Ovid läßt in Heroides 16 und 17 bzw. Heroides 5 Paris und Helena bzw. Die von Paris verlassene Nymphe Oenone den Mythos von Urteil des Paris und dessen Liebe zu Helena jeweils anders erzählen. Es handelt sich dabei nicht bloß um literarisches Spiel sondern Ovid reflektiert auf einer Metaebene allgemein über das Problem der Manipulierbarkeit des Mythos im speziellen des Mythos über Troja und Aeneas durch Vergil zum Zweck panegyrischer Aussagen. Am Ende des 11. Jh. Dichtet Baudri von Bourgueil ebenfalls ein Versepistelpaar in dem er zeigt wie Paris und Helena ihren eigenen Mythos bzw. Dessen allegorische Aussage mißverstehen und derart ins Unglück stürzen. Dasselbe Problem der richtigen d. H. Nicht manipulierenden Deutung von Mythos und der Dichtung die von solchen Mythen handelt liegt auch dem poetischen Brief Baudris an die Nonne Constantia und deren vom Dichter fingierten Antwort zugrunde – ein Problem das Baudri persönlich betraf da er wegen seiner Dichtungen in ovidischem Stil Kritik ausgesetzt war.; Collection Latomus Volume 334; 105 pages . 287031275X .

The volume serves as a sequel to his highly popular yet historically controversial plantation folklore series. The text originally appeared as stories published between 1905 and 1906 in the <em>Metropolitan Magazine</em> before being consolidated into a single volume. Folklore scholars note that the stories in this specific volume weave together a mix of traditional African European and regional indigenous folklore themes.</p><p>Joel Chandler Harris was an American journalist fiction writer and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories. Harris was born in Eatonton Georgia where he served as an apprentice on a plantation during his teenage years. He spent the majority of his adult life in Atlanta working as an associate editor at the Atlanta Constitution. Harris led two professional lives: as the editor and journalist known as Joe Harris he supported a vision of the New South with the editor Henry W. Grady 1880–1889 stressing regional and racial reconciliation after the Reconstruction era. As Joel Chandler Harris fiction writer and folklorist he wrote many 'Brer Rabbit' stories from the African-American oral tradition and helped to revolutionize literature in the process.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Some staining to back cover previous owner's neat ink gift inscription to front end paper.

Dustjacket has faint creasing; 0.85 x 9.32 x 6.32 Inches; 240 pages; Theseus is celebrated as the greatest of Athenian heroes. This work explores what he meant to the Athenians at the height of their city-state in the fifth century B. C. Assembling material that has been scattered in scholarly works Henry Walker examines the evidence for the development of themyth and cult of Theseus in the archaic age. He then looks to major works of classical literature in which Theseus figures exploring the contradictions between the archaic primitive side of his character and his refurbished image as the patron of democracy. His ambiguous nature as outsider flouting accepted standards of behavior while at the same time being a hero-king and a representative of higher ideals is analyzed through his representations in the work of Bacchylides Euripides and Sophocles. This is the only work of scholarship that examines the literary representation ofTheseus so thoroughly. It brings to life a literary character whose virtues flaws and contradictions belong in no less a degree to his creators the people of Athens. . 0195089081 . Oxford University Press hardcover
