Автор: John Tholen Название: Producing Ovid`s `Metamorphoses` in the Early Modern Low Countries: Paratexts, Publishers, Editors, Readers ISBN: 9004462384 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004462380 Издательство: Brill Цена: 166030.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Printers in the early modern Low Countries produced no fewer than 152 editions of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. John Tholen investigates what these editions can tell us about the early modern application of the popular ancient text. Analysis of paratexts shows, for example, how editors and commentators guide readers to Ovid’s potentially subversive contents. Paratextual infrastructures intended to create commercial credibility, but simultaneously were a response to criticism of reading the Metamorphoses. This book combines two often separated fields of research: book history and reception studies. It provides a compelling case study of how investigation into the material contexts of ancient texts sheds new light on early modern receptions of antiquity.

Автор: Editors of Readers Digest Название: Reader`s Digest Dumb Dad Stories: Ludicrous Tales of Remarkably Foolish People Doing Spectacularly Stupid Things ISBN: 1621454819 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781621454816 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 9190.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The Editors of Reader's Digest present a hilarious collection of real people doing dumb things. Every day in America we are bombarded by stupidity; sometimes we just shake our heads, but most of the time we get a good laugh out of the really dumb things people do and say. In this collection of dumb stories we poke a little fun at the unbelievably dumb things that happen in our lives and have a good chuckle along the way. For example: You're a dumb criminal if...you're not picky about your office locations. Christopher Exley of Everett, Washington, was arrested for conducting a drug deal over the phone--in the bathroom of the Everett Police Department. During my brother-in-law's first performance review, his boss said, "I'm not quite sure what it is you do here. But whatever it is, could you do it faster?" --Jeanie Waara, Philip, SD In an attempt to balance work and motherhood, I delegated the grocery shopping to my young babysitter. But the job proved a tad daunting. One day while I was at work, she texted me from the supermarket. "Can't find Brillo pads," she wrote. "All they have are Tampax and Kotex." --Kimberly Clark, Alpharetta, GA I overheard an elderly gentleman tell his friend that he couldn't meet him the next day because he had to go to the hospital for an autopsy. His friend was sympathetic: I had one of those last year. Luckily it wasn't serious." --Tracy Moralee, Hitchin, Great Britain
