|  | A Fatal Grace (An Inspector Armand Gamache -Three Pines Mystery #2)
Release Date: April 26, 2007No one liked CC de Poitiers. Not her quiet, ineffectual husband. Not the pallid, spineless photographer she'd been cheating on him with. Not even her tremendously fat, silent eleven-year-old daughter Crie, dubbed "Brie" by her hateful classmates. And certainly none of the residents of Three Pines, a tiny village south of Montreal, each of whom CC had recently managed to offend with one callous and insensitive act or another. And therein lies the challenge for the brilliant inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Quebec, called once again from his headq...
|  | Rhesos (Greek Tragedy in New Translations)
Publication Date: January 30, 1992| Series: Greek Tragedy in New Translations The story of a futile quest for knowledge, this ancient anti-war drama is one of the neglected plays within the corpus of Greek tragedy.Euripides' shortest tragic work, Rhesos is unique in lacking a prologue, provoking some scholars to the conclusion that the beginning of the play has been lost. In this exciting translation, Rhesos is no longer treated as a derivative Euripidean work, but rather as the tightly-knit tragedy of knowledge it really is.A drama in which profound problems of fate and free will come alive...
|  | Olympian Plays: A Comprehensive Introduction to Greek Mythology Written in Television Script Form
Publication Date: June 1, 1989| ISBN-10: 0961967404 | ISBN-13: 978-0961967406| Edition: Rev Most people think of the immortals nd mortals in Mythology as staid and remote individuals, as remote from them in character as they are in time. But if one reads Mythology as a panarama of life, then the personages become very personal.For example, Zeus is the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, but he is also a father who loses his very own son and is helpless to do anything about it.Aphrodite is the Goddess of Love, but she is also a victim of love in her tragic liaison with Adonis.Hermes is the con...

|  | Bed of Crimson Joy: Poems
Publication Date: March 30, 2012Like the seal in Elizabeth Bishop's "At the Fishhouses," Poole is a believer in "total immersion." Her poems plumb the fleshy depths--be they a body of water, the movement of a willow, a field combed by light, or the beguiling pigments in a Rembrandt. Although the poems' surfaces appear to be about the death of a sister, a painting by Bonnard, or a naked statue of Hermes, their ultimate focus is on interiority. The speaker of these poems shudders, tenses, is secreted away by the physicality of the world, and in the process is ravished and ravishing. ...
|  | Heine: Selected Verse: Dual Language Edition (Penguin Classics) (German Edition)
Release Date: February 3, 1987| Series: Penguin Classics 'One of the first men of this century' is how Heine described himself when he claimed to have been born in the early hours of 1800. It was typical of Heine to create this humorous doubt - he was in fact born in 1797. He was a restless and homeless poet, a Jew among Germans, a German in Paris, a rebel among the bourgeoisie and always, as his famous doppelganger poems show, a man divided against himself. This selection, with the German originals accompanied by English prose translations, provides the perfect introduction to Heine. He can...

'The whole place seemed completely bonkers: dusty, tatty, disorganized and impossibly old-fashioned, set in an age of doilies and flag-waving patriotism and jam still for tea, some sunny day.'
