Un enrobage de la joie et de la tristesse. Le cordage de cette capsule au son, au ton, à l'humeur et à d'autres caractéristiques paralinguistiques pour mettre en amont le sens et être esthétiquement agréable à l'esprit”. -Udensi Udensi Literary Reviewe “Ce poème est sensuel, solennel, saisissant et sacré.

A spirited defence of Tolkien’s mythological creation and its increasing relevance for the real world.Acclaimed by the largest readers’ survey ever conducted as ‘the greatest book of the century’, J.R.R.Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings has cast the spell of its storytelling for over 40 years and continues to enthral new generations of readers. Yet it has also been widely labelled as reactionary and escapist by hostile critics.Patrick Curry’s book shows just how mistaken they are. He reveals Tolkien’s profound and subtle advocacy of community, ecology and spiritual values against the destructive forces of runaway modernity. Tolkien’s remedy, and the project implicit in his literary mythology, is a re-enchantment of the world. In helping us to realize that living nature, including humanity, is sacred, his writings draw on ancient magical mythology, but at the same time resonate closely with the ideas of contemprary radical ecology.Quoting extensively from Tolkien’s works, Patrick Curry argues that Tolkien ad…

«В образовании гражданских обществ, как и во всяком историческом процессе, неизбежен известный осадок, в котором скопляются единицы, выделяющиеся из общих форм жизни, так точно как в химическом процессе оседают на стенках сосуда частицы, неспособные к химическому соединению. Объем и злокачественность такого осадка обыкновенно увеличиваются в периоды общего брожения, когда предложенные к решению задачи колеблют общественную массу и нарушают спокойное равновесие, в котором она пребывала многие годы. В такие эпохи, под видимыми, исторически образовавшимися общественными слоями, накопляется особый подпольный слой, обыкновенно враждебно расположенный к устроившемуся над ним общественному организму, и во всяком случае совершенно чуждый историческим формам жизни, подле которой он накопился во мраке, представляя собою патологический нарост на живом теле…»

Если мы спросим специалистов в этой области, по каким критериям они определяют, что есть шедевр, а что — бесполезный хлам, нам ответят, что критерий только один — их собственное субъективное мнение. Ну уж нет, дорогие мои! Верить вам на слово — это не к нам. Позвольте нам все же, несмотря на кажущуюся утопичность подобной затеи, самостоятельно определить эти загадочные критерии оценки изобразительного искусства.

One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, ‘Mere Christianity’ has sold millions of copies worldwide.The book brings together C.S. Lewis’s legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to ‘explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times’.Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many denominations, ‘Mere Christianity’ provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

What connects Shiite passion plays with Brecht's drama? Which of Goethe's poems were inspired by the Quran? How can Ibn Arabi's theology of sighs explain the plays of Heinrich von Kleist? And why did the Persian author Sadeq Hedayat identify with the Prague Jew Franz Kafka? 'One who knows himself and others will here too understand: Orient and Occident are no longer separable': in this new book, the critically acclaimed author and scholar Navid Kermani takes Goethe at his word. He reads the Quran as a poetic text, opens Eastern literature to Western readers, unveils the mystical dimension in the works of Goethe and Kleist, and deciphers the political implications of theatre, from Shakespeare to Lessing to Brecht. Drawing striking comparisons between diverse literary traditions and cultures, Kermani argues for a literary cosmopolitanism that is opposed to all those who would play religions and cultures against one another, isolating them from one another by force. Between Quran and Kafka concludes with Ker…

AN OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEARA droll and dazzling compendium of observations, stories, lists, and brief essays about babies.‘Beguiling … A wunderkabinett of baby-related curios … A peculiar book, and astonishing in its effect.’ Boston GlobeOne August day, a baby was born, or as it seemed to Rivka Galchen, a puma moved into her apartment. Her arrival felt supernatural, she seemed to come from another world. And suddenly, the world seemed ludicrously, suspiciously, adverbially sodden with meaning.But Galchen didn’t want to write about the puma. She had never been interested in babies, or in mothers before. Now everything seemed directly related to them and she specifically wanted to write about other things because it might mean she was really, covertly, learning something about babies, or about being near babies.The result is Little Labours, a slanted enchanted miscellany. Galchen writes about babies in art (with wrongly shaped head) and babies in literature (rarer than dogs or abortions, often monstrous); …

An eccentric, a gregarious recluse, an enigmatic auteur of whimsically morbid masterpieces, yes – but who was the real Edward Gorey behind the Oscar Wildean pose?He published over a hundred books and illustrated works by Samuel Beckett, T.S. Eliot, Edward Lear, John Updike, Charles Dickens, Hilaire Belloc, Muriel …

Рецензируемая книга представляет собой докторскую диссертацию либерального профессора Киевского университета А. В. Романовича-Славатинского, в молодости испытавшего влияние Белинского и Герцена. Н. Ф. Даниельсон рекомендовал К. Марксу это исследование как один из немногих источников по истории русских поземельных отношений. Характеризуя книгу А. Романовича-Славатинского как обстоятельное исследование, Салтыков далеко не во всем разделяет взгляды ее автора, не вступая, однако, с ним в открытую полемику.

WINNER OF THE HRF KEATING AWARD FOR BEST NON-FICTION CRIME BOOK 2018An entertaining history of British thrillers from Casino Royale to The Eagle Has Landed, in which award-winning crime writer Mike Ripley reveals that, though Britain may have lost an empire, her thrillers helped save the world. With a foreword by Lee Child.When Ian Fleming dismissed his books in a 1956 letter to Raymond Chandler as ‘straight pillow fantasies of the bang-bang, kiss-kiss variety’ he was being typically immodest. In three short years, his James Bond novels were already spearheading a boom in thriller fiction that would dominate the bestseller lists, not just in Britain, but internationally.The decade following World War II had seen Britain lose an Empire, demoted in terms of global power and status and economically crippled by debt; yet its fictional spies, secret agents, soldiers, sailors and even (occasionally) journalists were now saving the world on a regular basis.From Ian Fleming and Alistair MacLean in the 1950s throu…

Джон Рёскин (1819–1900) – английский писатель, художник, поэт, литературный критик, но более всего он известен как теоретик искусства, оказавший огромное влияние на развитие искусствознания и эстетики второй половины XIX – начала XX века. Рёскин многое сделал для укрепления позиций прерафаэлитов, например, в статье «Прерафаэлитизм», а также сильно повлиял на антибуржуазный пафос движения. Кроме того, он «открыл» для современников Уильяма Тернера, живописца и графика, мастера пейзажной живописи. «Лекции об искусстве» – фундаментальный труд Рескина, который он сам считал самым значительным своим произведением, в котором он изложил новую методологию анализа искусства. Искусство, по мнению Рескина неразрывно связано с моралью, религией, природой и человеческой жизнью в целом. В формате a4.pdf сохранен издательский макет книги.

Данная книга не планировалась в виде самостоятельного издания. Предлагаемый читателю текст должен был стать частью анализа произведений, номинированных на литературную премию «Ясная поляна» за 2016 год. В ходе работы выяснилось наличие сходных моментов среди иностранной беллетристики, чьё присутствие должно заставить читателя задуматься. А в том ли направлении развивается западная литература и должна ли русская литература иметь с ней общие черты?
