Nathan the Wise

Ingram 出版
2023/04/05 出版

Banned by the Nazis and then produced by dozens of German theatres following the end of World War II, NATHAN THE WISE is a timely and exuberant rebuke of prejudice and intolerance. Written in the Enlightenment Age and set in Jerusalem during the 12th century reign of Saladin, it features the first positive portrayal of a Muslim leader, a Jewish merchant who comes to his aid, and a Templar Knight in the midst of a change of heart. Its multicultural characters offer numerous opportunities for multi-ethnic casting. Michael Bloom's contemporary adaptation is written in a colloquial style that blows the dust off this former costume drama. With surprising humor, this version underlines the influence of Shakespearean comedies and THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. "...quite wonderful...the script makes thoughtful, insightful commentaries about life, religion, and politics that are forever relevant...one of those productions you want to cheer during the curtain call." Broadway World "An affectionate treatment of an 18th century tale...a plot that builds like a classical comedy...a pleasing fairy-tale quality...opens an illuminating window on Jerusalem's history...a serendipitous meeting ground such as the one NATHAN THE WISE offers arrives like a reassuring refreshment."Washington Post "Lively, humorous, and utterly relevant." MD Theatre Guide "Enlightenment becomes delight in NATHAN THE WISE." DC Metro Theatre Guide

Gabriele d'Annunzio and World Literature

Ingram 出版
2023/03/27 出版

Gabriele D'Annunzio was an internationally renowned artist and one of the most prominent public figures in Italy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His novels and poetry stirred the enthusiasm of James Joyce and Henry James in the English-speaking world and his repute stretched far beyond - in France, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Japan and South America, D'Annunzio became a pivotal node in the broad networks of decadent exchange. This volume offers an overview of the global dynamics of D'Annunzio's work, from his engagement with multilingualism and translingual writing to the international circulation and reception of his production. Featuring chapters by international scholars, it re-evaluates D'Annunzio with a critical eye and a transnational scope and offers a global assessment of the place that Dannunzian decadence holds in the constitution of a conflicted movement - one that is profoundly cosmopolitan and yet also problematically nationalistic.

The play has seen thousands of productions in dozens of translations and adaptations and its plot has even found its way to modern Hollywood films and television sitcoms.This unabridged translation was crafted to adhere closely to Rostand's original intent of rendering the entire play in rhymed couplets to maintain the larger-than-life theatricality of the play and its title character.

THE Mother

Maxim,Gorky  著
Ingram 出版
2023/03/23 出版

Maxim Gorky, the founder of social realism, was a Russian writer who pioneered literary style through his magnum opus, Mother. It is the story of the radicalization of an uneducated, hard-working peasant woman who faces domestic assaults by her husband. Mother raises the suppressed voices of the working-class people and depicts the power of dignity of an individual. Written in 1906, the book still stirs the emotional journey to the soul, showing the protective and selfless concerns of a mother for the crushed spirit of her people. Born of the people, and having experienced in his own person their sufferings and their misery, he was enabled by his extraordinary genius to voice their grievances and their aspirations in the book that has stood the test of time.

When I Am Not Writing Poetry

Ingram 出版
2023/03/21 出版

This collection of short stories by Chris Armstrong - some very short and one almost the length of a novella - was written during the latter half of 2020 while he was locked down in front of his computer during Covid! And there are only so many poems a man can write! Several of the stories make oblique reference to the Covid 'plague' but other tales are a reflection of the author's earlier life, a half-dozen of them going all the way back to his time at sea! Regular readers - of both his poems and his fiction - may notice a tendency to link themes to the sea! And if not the sea, then the horizon! The sea is always there! Chris Armstrong has had three careers, working as a merchant seaman and navigator, a farmhand on the farm where he still lives in the mountains of mid-Wales, and as an information scientist before retiring to become a poet and writer. He has one longer collection of poems in print, Mostly Welsh (Y Lolfa, 2019) and a recent chapbook, Book of the Spirit (Curated Lines, 2022). Although initially entirely focussed on poetry, he moved on to short stories while his first full length work of fiction, The Dark Trilogy (Austin Macauley, 2022) was being published. A further collection of his poetry will be published later in 2023 and he is working on a further novel. He has been published, for example in Storgy, Agenda and London Grip New Poetry. He writes about his writing and publishes the occasional poem on the Curated Lines blog at https: //curatedlines.online/.

A Personal Record

Ingram 出版
2023/03/15 出版

A Personal Record is an autobiographical work (or ""fragment of biography"") by Joseph Conrad, published in 1912.It has also been published under the titles A Personal Record: Some Reminiscences and Some Reminiscences.Notoriously unreliable and digressive in structure, it is nonetheless the principal contemporary source for information about the author's life.[citation needed] It tells about his schooling in Russian Poland, his sailing in Marseille, the influence of his uncle Tadeusz Bobrowski, and the writing of Almayer's Folly.It provides a glimpse of how Conrad wished to be seen by his British public, as well as being an atmospheric work of art.[citation needed] The ""Familiar Preface"" Conrad wrote for it includes the often quoted lines: ""Those who read me know my conviction that the world, the temporal world, rests on a few very simple ideas; so simple that they must be as old as the hills. It rests notably, among others, on the idea of Fidelity."" Conrad wrote a new 'Author's Note' to A Personal Record for the Doubleday collected edition of his works (published in 1920) in which he discussed his friendship with the British colonial official and writer Hugh Clifford.

English Compound Nouns in Two Selected Videos. A Phonological Analysis

Grin Verlag 出版
2023/03/13 出版

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: PhD student, University of Babylon (College of Education for Human Sciences), course: English, language: English, abstract: The current study is a phonological study of compound nouns in two selected videos on YouTube. The analyses investigated and focused on two phonological aspects "stress and syllable", because knowing the placement of stress on compound nous is important since it can cause a change in meaning. The analyses showed different types of compound nouns that belong to categories. It was also found that most compound nouns had primary stress. Secondary stress was also found in compounds that had two or three syllables. Most compound nouns were either disyllabic which were the most frequently used, or polysyllabic that had secondary stress. The types of compound nouns appeared in the data were (N-N compound, Adj.-N compound, N-Pre. compound, Pre-N compound, x-man compound, and V-N compound). Keywords: general views about compounds, phonological and morphological perspectives of compounds, classification of compounds, and suprasegmental phonology.

Death and Dying in Tupac's Music

Ingram 出版
2023/03/13 出版

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,3, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglistik & Amerikanistik), course: Death & Dying in the United States, language: English, abstract: Past analyses of violence in rap music mostly focused on quantitative surveys of certain semantic references, or tried to answer the question to which extent listener's musical preferences influence their relationship with violence. While approaches of this kind may have its merits in detecting general trends, they often miss to address differences in the quality of these references because they largely ignore the context in which they are made, thus, diminishing their explanatory value for cultural characteristics. The objective of this paper is three-fold: Firstly, it aims to reveal the broad spectrum of death depictions in Tupac's music. Secondly, it intends to create appreciation for the frequent thoughtful depiction he shows, as well as to raise sympathy even for seemingly careless expressions of death by trying to explain the subconscious rational behind it. This will be especially useful for readers not familiar with rap in its original cultural context. Thirdly, it will place these depictions in the broader context of American culture, thereby, revealing a continuity with political, social and cultural developments in American society at large, and African-American culture in particular. The argument will be made that rather than being an example of a counter-culture that is breaking with society's values, Tupac's gangsta raps can also be considered a direct product of mainstream culture. After the historical background that shaped the environment Tupac grew up in is explored in chapter two, the third chapter will introduce three categories which can be used to systematize references of death in his songs. In chapter 4, notable examples of his lyrics are categorized and their context is explained with spec

Gender specific speaking behavior in a controversial discussion

Ingram 出版
2023/03/10 出版

Case Study from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,0, University of Freiburg (English Department), language: English, abstract: Over the past decades a great number of research has been conducted on the differences between male and female speaking behaviour. Since many efforts have been made to establish equal opportunities for both genders several studies examined whether these changes are also reflected in their language. Most of them concentrate on informal conversations in collegial settings and come to the conclusion that the differences are rather diminishing. This study will focus on examining gender differences in language using a sequence of a controversial discussion which was published as a YouTube video. It will give a brief review of the research within this area and then move on to analysing the recording. Special focus will be put on specific linguistic items which have been carried out in previous studies of this field.

Songs and Stories of the Jacobite times and the five Jacobite Risings

Bruce,Durie  著
Lulu.com 出版
2023/02/26 出版

Every major event produces songs and stories. The five Jacobite Risings were no different. Some songs were pro-Jacobite; some were Whig (anti-Jacobite); some were outright satires; some recounted the actual historical events; and some were basically spin and fake news. Many of those we now consider to be of the time or "traditional" were actually composed during the Victorian rediscovery of all things Highland in the 1800s, long after the events described. Many were by well-known later poets including Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and James Hogg, "the Ettrick Shepherd". Some have become corrupted over the years - for example, the beautiful and haunting lament, The Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond, has been bowdlerised into a mawkishly sentimental love-song. Nonetheless, these songs form a crucial part of Scotland's musical and folk culture, and deserve to be sung and played today. Some will be familiar, either as songs or bagpipe tunes, some less so. This short book came out of an invitation to sing some of these songs and tell the surrounding tales and histories arising from Scotland during and after the Jacobite era (1688-1746) at various events in 2019, notably Tartan Day South, Tartan Day North Carolina and the Loch Norman Games at Historic Rural Hill, North Carolina.

An Outcast of the Islands

Ingram 出版
2023/02/14 出版

Joseph Conrad's second book, An Outcast of the Islands, which was released in 1896, was influenced by the mate-ship experience Conrad had on the steamship Vidar. The plot of the book centers on Peter Willems, a dishonest and unscrupulous character who, fleeing a scandal in Makassar, seeks refuge in a secret native hamlet but betrays his sponsors out of a passion for the tribal chief's daughter. Along with other characters from previous novels, Tom Lingard, a recurring figure in the plot, also appears in Almayer's Folly (1895) and The Rescue (1920). Many people think it is an unappreciated piece of literature. In a similar manner to his Heart of Darkness, Conrad romanticizes the jungle and its inhabitants. Outcast of the Islands, directed by Carol Reed in 1951, was based on this book. Trevor Howard played Willems, Ralph Richardson played Lingard, Robert Morley played Robert, and Wendy Hiller played Wendy. The Hollow Men by T. S. Eliot contains a statement from the novel that reads, "Life is very long."

Pygmalion

Ingram 出版
2023/02/14 出版

Pygmalion's audiences in 1914 were both enthralled and scandalized by it. In addition to being a razor-sharp critique of the British class system and a declaration of Shaw's feminist beliefs, this fantastically funny retelling of the traditional story of the sculptor who falls in love with his ideal female statue. My Fair Lady, the musical version of one of Bernard Shaw's most well-known plays ''Pygmalion'', was a great sensation both on Broadway and in London and New York. An updated and extensively revised version of the Pygmalion and Galatea myth from ancient Greece, the 20th-century fable pokes fun at the antiquated British class system. In Shaw's skillful adaptation, Professor Henry Higgins, a linguist, accepts a bet that he can transform a clumsy cockney flower seller into an educated young woman by merely teaching her better speech and manners. While convincing society that his construct is a mysterious royal figure, the professor also falls in love with his attractive invention. Pygmalion, one of the most well-known comedies in the English language, blends Shaw's witty dialogue and great playwriting skills with the alluring idea of the developing butterfly. It continues to be regularly performed and forms the basis of college theater programs.

The Daffodil Mystery

Ingram 出版
2023/02/14 出版

Edgar Wallace, a British novelist, wrote the 1920 suspense novel The Daffodil Mystery. Starring in it are Chinese assistant Ling Chu and detective Jack Tarling. Odette Rider is fired by Thornton Lyne for turning down his favours. Investigator Jack Tarling, who had been working in China and had just returned to London, went to the store to talk about the situation when his cousin Thorton Lyne's cashier Milburgh embezzled money from his firm. Out of annoyance with Odette rather than anybody else, Lyne decides to attempt to blame the theft on her. Odette wins Tarling over without delay. When Lyne is found dead in the park with one of Odette's nightgowns wrapped over his gunshot wound, it doesn't seem good for her. But Tarling is adamant about proving her innocence. Milburgh is repulsive, and Lyne hisses. Although she may be gorgeous, they don't really know one another well enough to talk about love. Ling Chu is evasive and not fully trustworthy. The text is colourless and serves just to forward the story.
