Название: Korea`s Premier Collection of Classical Literature: Selections from So Kojong`s Tongmunson ISBN: 0824877306 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780824877309 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 56850.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This is the first book in English to offer an extensive introduction to the Tongmuns?n (Selections of Refined Literature of Korea)—the largest and most important Korean literary collection created prior to the twentieth century—as well as translations of essays from key chapters. The Tongmuns?n was compiled in 1478 by S? K?j?ng (1420–1488) and other Chos?n literati at the command of King S?ngjong (r. 1469–1494). It was modeled after the celebrated Chinese anthology Wen Xuan and contains poetry and prose in an extensive array of styles and genres.The Translators’ Introduction begins by describing the general structure of the Tongmuns?n and contextualizes literary output in Korea within the great sweep of East Asian literature from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries. The entire Tongmuns?n as well as all of the essays selected for translation were written in hanmun (as opposed to Korean vernacular), which points to a close literary connection between the continent and the peninsula. The Introduction goes on to discuss the genres contained in the Tongmuns?n and examines style as revealed through prosody. The translation of two of these genres (treatises and discourses) in four books of the Tongmuns?n showcases prose-writing and the intellectual concerns of the age. Through their discussions of morality, nature, and the fantastic, we see Daoist, Buddhist, and Confucian themes at work in essays by some of Korea’s most distinguished writers, among them Yi Kyubo, Yi Saek, Yi Chehy?n, and Ch?ng Toj?n. The translations also include annotations and extensive cross-references to classical allusions in the Chinese canon, making the present volume an essential addition to any East Asian literature collection.
"Mencken weighs 172 pounds, is 5 feet 10 inches in height and not beautiful. His chief amusement, after reading, is piano-playing, this he does very crudely. He takes no exercise except walking and is a moderate eater and drinker. He sometimes drinks as little as one bottle of beer a week, though this doesn't happen very often." So wrote H. L. Mencken about himself, in a brief sketch of his life penned in 1905. Perhaps America's foremost literary stylist and most mordant wit, Mencken's most engaging writing told about his own life and experiences. In Mencken on Mencken, veteran Mencken editor and scholar S. T. Joshi has assembled a hefty collection of the best of Mencken's autobiographical pieces that have not appeared previously in book form. These forty-four selections cover a wide variety of topics ranging from incidents from Mencken's everyday life to reflections on friends and colleagues to his careers as author, journalist, and editor, to his travels abroad. As a journalist in Baltimore, Mencken encountered many unusual characters: a professional mourner hired by a beer distiller, a wagon driver who slept through the great Baltimore fire of 1904, a confirmed bachelor who left town to avoid the clutches of a predatory widow. He provides accounts of literary figures he knew, such as Theodore Dreiser, and ruminations on his work at the Baltimore Sun and as editor for the magazines Smart Set and the American Mercury. In an essay titled "What I Believe," he eschews humor and writes straightforwardly of his longtime scorn for the idea of religion, and in his journalist mode he reflects on a half-century of attending political conventions, drawing on his vast inside knowledge to savage the corruption and incompetence of the political class. A superb travel writer, Mencken gives us a rollicking account of beer-drinking in Munich, astute observations of political unrest in Cuba, and carefully drawn scenes from a long tour he and his wife made of the Mediterranean in 1934. Joshi has thoroughly annotated the pieces and also compiled an extensive glossary of names and terms that Mencken mentions. Mencken on Mencken offers a fully rounded self-portrait of one of America's most colorful personalities and most extraordinary men of letters.
Автор: Mary Anne O`Neil Название: From Babel to Pentecost: The Poetry of Pierre Emmanuel ISBN: 0773540288 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780773540286 Издательство: Marston Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 135960.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The most prolific and versatile French poet of the mid-twentieth century, Pierre Emmanuel`s oeuvre spans five decades and an astonishing array of forms, from epics and love sonnets to patriotic works and prayers. The first full-length study of his works in English, From Babel to Pentecost brings Emmanuel`s works to a new generation and a new readership. Mary Anne O`Neil`s meticulous study of Emmanuel`s complete works traces the poet`s development as a thinker and artist while surveying both French and English scholarship on Emmanuel from the 1940s to the present. Employing close readings of poems as well as intertextual and psychoanalytic approaches, O`Neil draws connections between Emmanuel`s influences, vocabulary, imagery, and meters, while translations allow English-language readers to engage directly with the texts. O`Neil`s insightful commentary sheds light on the poet`s relationship to movements in European poetry, to poets of Classical Greece, the Latin Middle Ages, and the Renaissance, and to sacred Hebrew, Hindu, and Buddhist verse. Keenly attuned to the changing world around him, Pierre Emmanuel exemplifies a poet`s power to clarify the human condition, to move, and to teach. From Babel to Pentecost enables readers to rediscover the enduring richness and relevance of his work.

Here is the guide to the literary scene in the South, covering novels and anthologies in the major local languages; Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telegu. Each review is followed by an extract for a flavour of the book. Unlike the Indian literature produced in the West by writers like Salman Rushdie or Westerners like E M Forster writing about India, here the exoticism is raw and at times brutal.
