Автор: Max Luthi Название: Fairytale as Art Form and Portrait of Man ISBN: 0253204208 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780253204202 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 16010.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In this major work by the distinguished Swiss folklorist Max L?thi, the traditional fairytale is examined from two related points of view, that of aesthetics and that of anthropology. L?thi shows that fairytales are more than just a pleasing form; they present a particular way of looking at the world and at human existence. Thus, they must be evaluated in terms of what they say about man and the human condition. This exemplary study will be read with enjoyment and profit not only by the literary scholar and folklore professional but by any reader who has ever delighted in fairytales.

Описание: Author, poet, and memoirist Svoboda takes the reader on a fascinating journey from Ridges childhood as a newly arrived Irish immigrant in the grim mining towns of New Zealand, to her years as a budding writer in Sydney, Australia, to her migration to America and the cities of San Francisco, Chicago, and New York. Once considered one of the most popular poets of her day, Ridge later fell out of critical favor due to verse that looked head on at the major issues of her time. This lively portrait is a whos who of all the key players in the arts, literature, and radical politics of the time, in which Lola Ridge stood front and center. Now more than ever this biography offers inspiration to all those engaged in dissenting literature of our time and the movements that have inspired this renaissance of literary activism that we are seeing today.

Ernst J nger - A Portrait is a book about Ernst J nger (1895-1998), Germany's greatest author since Goethe. This is a popular J nger biography for the English speaking world, a personal portrait painted by an avid J nger reader. The book starts out with a thorough biography of J nger's life. Then the author examines the controversial aspects of the man, and discusses J nger's role as an outsider, mentioning the reception of his works in the modern post-war era.
After examining J nger's books on war, the author proceeds to describe J nger's other literary works such as The Adventurous Heart, On the Marble Cliffs, Heliopolis, and Eumeswil. Moreover, there are chapters on J nger's perception of art, history, and philosophy. There are also sections on J nger as a Science Fiction author, and comparisons between J nger and other authors, both dead and living.
In the introduction to Ernst J nger - A Portrait the author states that:
"My aim in this study has been to look at what J nger represents rather than at what he is, in this respect striving to highlight the fruitful aspects of his work, the neglected sides such as the esotericism and the idealism, the vitalism and the life-affirming traits. At the same time I don't deny that J nger in the 20s was a radical nationalist dealing with fire; I have chapters covering that too. Wishing to write a book that's simple and hands-on I sport "simple but not facile" as my ideal."
About the Author: Born in the north of Sweden in 1965, Lennart Svensson took a BA in Indology in Uppsala 1998. While working as a freelance writer he published the novels Antropolis and Camouflage. Ernst J nger - A Portrait is his debut in English.
