About ill the lion

Hi, Sherlock! I know that you’re the best. My lion is sick. What do I do? Help!

Your Marcus Widener. Russelsheim, West Germany

Wild vampires

Dear Mr. Holmes, we are faced with a serious problem here in the Illinois valley. We suspect that the valley has bred some wild vampires. They are really wild because they are not afraid of sunlight. One day, one of our eminent scientists, Dr. Rigby, I caught one of the vampires when he went hunting. When the vampire opened one eye, saw Rigby in the eye lens. This was not a normal lens and with the sun, which explains why these vampires hunt during the day rather than only at night, as usual. We announce a reward of 500 dollars to anyone who can deliver us from these vampires. I was hoping You could help.

Sincerely Yours,

Teresa Benson. Cave junction, or, USA

About the strange knocking

Dear Mr. Holmes, will you help me to figure out what happened when I was in Karlsruhe? We stayed in a big hotel. When it came time to leave, I gathered the suitcases, took the Elevator with his friend. My parents and brother had to go to the next. The Elevator got stuck, was heard a strange knocking. The hotel Manager called masters to fix the Elevator, but the inside was empty. Where are they? Can you help me?

Sincerely, New York, USA

The murder and subsequent theft of tombstones

Dear Mr. Holmes, I need Your help in a murder investigation. I call it “the Stolen tombstone.” About five years ago, an elderly woman named Martha Hopkins was killed in a monstrous way. Her body was discovered 87 stab wounds. What is striking especially it happened on her 87th birthday. Recently someone stole her headstone. Don’t know who. We doubt that it was someone she knew, and it was hardly her killer: they say he went mad and died. But who knows?

It happened on August 16 night. Some of the neighbors said that they heard a strange sound — like the blows of something metal on stone. He called the police but when they arrived, the gravestone was gone. They found no evidence, no fingerprints, nothing. Please help to solve this.

Your Kim Gers. Braintree, mA, USA

About the mysterious shadow

The honorable Sherlock Holmes, I recently learned that You live in London. I believe that You will accept my humble apologies and pardon my ignorance. I am very grateful for the opportunity to write to You in England because I need help with a puzzling situation. I tell You, and You, if possible, tell me how to be here and what it is.

In Austin (TX) has a house with a particular reputation — one of the tenants does not stay there longer than a few weeks. I often pass by this house on the way to or from work, and once we’re inside. I didn’t notice anything unusual until yesterday. When I drove by, I noticed a shadow moving in the yard but saw nothing that could cast that shadow. In addition, the location of the shadow can not be combined with the position of the sun. At that time I was inside the house, I experienced a strange feeling — as if I were shivering. I’m sure the fact that the owner can not keep tenants in the house for a long time, something to do with these oddities.

I still can’t understand what was happening and hope that You could give.

Thank You.

Lynette Reid. Austin, TX, USA

On the visit in Maryland

Dear Mr. Holmes, I hope You’re having a good Christmas and not overworked. Have you thought about how to go to America and open our own Agency? In the States a lot of interesting crimes. Your help would be very useful in the investigation of the Watergate case and the case of Patty Hearst. In Maryland, a lot of important things and You are greatly respected here. We even have someone named Mr. Holmes and he named his boat “Sherlock”.

In Maryland a lot of excellent research laboratories in which You could work. Please let me know if You are going to America. If You don’t want to leave England, You could open an American branch of their Agency assistants could send You the details of the crimes, and You would investigate them remotely. America needs a great detective like You. You could even be a TV star.

Your Claire Skarda. Baltimore, MD, USA

Your Robert Cohen. Vancouver, Canada

About a young woman and love

My dear Sherlock Holmes, I am a young lawyer from California. Now I’m working a case where could use all Your detective skills and Your genius mind. In short, we are talking about a young woman and about love. I can’t say more until You tell whether to give me the time.

The kidnapping of the tarantula, he’s a queer, wild vampires, the sick lion and other challenges to a fictional detective turned real people.

Readers of Conan Doyle began to send letters to the address Baker street, 221b, during the life of the writer. The first text of its kind in 1890, wrote the tobacco merchant from Philadelphia: he was interested in where to find a monograph by Holmes on 140 types of tobacco ash, mentioned in one of the stories. On the real Baker street, 221b house did not yet exist — at number 85 has begun the area of York place. Therefore, letters were delivered himself Doyle; Scotland Yard; Scottish physician Joseph bell, who was considered the prototype of Holmes; or in other houses on Baker street.

When in the 1930s the street was extended, the houses under the odd numbers from 219 to 229 to, went to the Bank and Abbey Road. House 221b still existed, but the letters from admirers of the great detective began packs to come in the mailbox 221. At the turn of 1940-50-ies of the Bank even approved the position of Secretary, which was to disassemble correspondence and respond to letters addressed to Holmes — written by students, police officers, scientists, lawyers and other readers. Many turned to Holmes not only to Express their admiration but for help and advice, believing that writing a real person, not fictional. In the responses, the Secretary reported that the detective is retired and raises bees in Sussex.

In 1985, a scholar of Arthur Conan Doyle between cancel in Richard Greene has published a selection of the most interesting and unusual letters to Holmes. The exact date is unknown, but most likely, they were written from 1932 until 1985. Arzamas publishes translations of some of them.

Dear Mr. Holmes! First of all, I want to say that my English is not very good, I make a lot of mistakes, but I hope You’ll understand. And now about my problem: I have already tried all the possible ways to get an autograph of Marc almond (he’s the lead singer of Soft Cell, the English group, and he is very very cute and I really like), but all in vain. I want You to help me, Mr. Holmes, a young girl who was in absolute despair and wants to autograph her ideal man.

Could You get me an address where you can ask for your autograph? Unfortunately, I can’t afford to pay You for this service, but I hope You still agree to help.

With best wishes,

Anya Of Girmit. Bielefeld, West Germany

On the picture with the pig

Dear Mr. Holmes, some time ago I started collecting pigs, drawn by famous people, and recently I suggested that You could agree to send your picture. If You don’t mind, I would ask You to close your eyes, draw a pig — and to open them, have to sign. Hope it’s not too presumptuous a request. I will be waiting for Your drawing to hang it on the wall among all the others: someday I will publish them.

Sincerely Yours,

Colin Black. Putney, London

About the book with French recipes and the cricket

Dear Mr. Holmes, I was wondering, could You come to my school? Classes start next month. It is very easy to reach by boat, and for lunch, You could have in our dining room. You can stay in my room. I didn’t ask him mom, but because You’re a famous detective, I think she will be happy if You help her find a book with French recipes, which she has lost. I have an extra stick, so You could play cricket (a favorite occupation of the British). I also have a large color Sony TV, so You can watch the show “Sherlock Holmes Mystery Theatre”. If you want, take Dr. Watson. He could live in the room of my parents. Please let me know when Your boat arrives.

Hope to see you soon,

John Cimsi. Rosedale, new York, USA

About the disappearance of the Golden crowns

Dear Sherlock Holmes!

I can’t find my crown. I think it was stolen last night. It is gold, so the loss is really serious. Please, Mr. Holmes, come and find my crown or tell me how to do it better.

Your Frederick Korat. Furth, West Germany

If You don’t mind, please answer in German or simple English.

About the missing drumsticks

Dear Sherlock Holmes, I know you’re the best detective in the world. I lost my drumsticks. Could you come and help me find her? Thank you very much.

Owen Sweeney. Toms river, NJ, USA

About a very strange dog

Dear Mr. Holmes, I need Your help. I have a very weird dog. The day everything is fine with him: he has small eyes, tiny nose and a head like a tennis ball. But when evening comes, he’s not like a normal dog. He looks like a monster. My dog runs away from home and returned only in the morning. I hear him coming, and fear hides your head under the pillow.

Mr. Holmes, could You help me figure out where it disappears at night? What do You think, is that a normal behavior for dogs? In my opinion, not very. I want You boarded the train and came to Kramfors. When you arrive at the station, ask how to find me.

Sincerely Yours,

Anna-Lena Walls. Kramfors, Sweden

The whole week before and during non/fiction, the main book fair of the year, discussing how to create books. Today translator talks about clouds of meanings, word order, the most complex pages and why it is so important to the characters talking in the mind of the translator

Interpreter, teacher of the Literary Institute. Gorky, the head of the seminar for translators from the English language, winner of many awards, including the prize “Master”. Author of translations of Joseph Brodsky, James Joyce, Vladimir Nabokov, George Orwell, Jerome D. Salinger, Thornton Wilder, William Faulkner, and other writers.

Only by doing can you figure out how not to or how to translate. It consists of small things, from some crumbs. No principles there, just every time you have another problem. The translation must be exact and free, and if you seriously, before you undertake to translate a book you have to read to the end. You have to understand the tone — how it is dramatic or ironic. And on the first page is impossible to understand: on the first pages are very worried that the tone was right; the first page until you enter, is usually the most difficult.

About Faulkner and Hemingway

Remember when I didn’t want to be a lot of verbal participle phrases, but it is determined rather original, and not your desire. You will not imagine such a task to put that Faulkner translation: then, God forbid, just to get out of a long phrase. I read “the sound and the fury” in English. Read ten pages — I don’t know, ten pages — I don’t know. Ten or eleven times I read the beginning, then figured out in this parsley — there are times confused because Benji no brains. Faulkner wanted to print this in different colors because I knew that to understand it would be difficult.

It is believed that Hemingway’s simple sentences only the subject and predicate: “I will go to war”, “You’re not going to war.” In fact, he has a long and rather clumsy phrase, and very uncomfortable, by the way, for translation. And quite a lot of humor — he’s not that ugly, and some underdeveloped.

If you translate fiction, preferably in this world to get to see the picture, engage yourself in the dialogue. Freedom gives only what you yourself inside books, but this is not required when translating non-fiction: there just need to figure out what a person said, to ensure that it was clear in . You must participate in what is happening in the book. No matter how you see this picture, but you picture you describe, not words. No matter what these people say in the mind of the author, important as they are in your head say, then you have freedom.

About the technology

You can’t know all the words including and in . Most importantly, the phrase was in  and arranged similar to the original to not missed some little things, the nuances. It’s all three-business, but they all add up. For example, it is important not to rhyme adjectives. Ugly sounds, if rhyme happens when it should not be. It should be when it is done on purpose by the author — for a laugh. Translation was not just this Titanic: “He wanted in this way to give so-and-so…” — not in this case. The translation is a technology, not a technique, even a technology. We confuse these concepts, by the way. As in English “technology” that we now all write “technology.” Technology is the method of production, and they mean technique. Students need to explain that this is a different word. Science is “science”, but their literature is not considered a science, and we have considered, and it is also necessary to tell. I repeat: it’s all worth a penny, but it is wallet.

Sentence the main impact of the word — first or last, and what is between, is not as important as in English — a permanent order of words (unless, of course, the author purposely does not convey a foreign accent): subject, predicate, direct object… If we in  we write all the time, get boring, it is monotonous text. But if the word to rearrange, the more stands out and a phrase less sluggish. Still need to keep in mind that all around the English and  words of different clouds meanings. They do not match, partially overlap. “Clouds” is where the word was used, what associations it creates… If we say bunk, you’re going to choose a word — whether “the bed”, or “bed” or “couch”, and it depends on the context.

Image result for translation

Translations obsolete, and I think because of reality. Now people use information in small chunks: “Hello! Well. Let’s go.” And before: “sir, I wish to inform you…” — and so on. Consciousness becomes danceable, and if someone with classical training would be the modern literature to translate, it is necessary to take into account that people read once, and should write shorter.

Taking what is already translated, you proceed from the idea that should translate better. This is a very relative criterion, and do not think that you better decode than the other: it is very much a process. Translation is not a sport where it is clear who one hundred meters ran faster. You translate as you can, and then the challenge of translating better than someone else. It is better not to translate already translated.

“I’m really sorry that it’s obtained the scandal’s shape: there was a granted, also it decline.

The main reason I had been not educated of that which prepared in advance. While “Figaro litterer” of Oct 15, I study a note to her reporter in Stockholm, which stated that the Remedial School leans toward my candidacy, however the making your decision hasn’t been created, I considered composing a notice towards the School — I delivered it 24 hours later, I possibly could repair issues to ensure that this really is not to return.

I thought, what may I avoid this and did not realize that the Nobel-prize is granted whatever the views into the future of the champion. But I completely realize that following an option was created by the Remedial School, it can not be abandoned by her. When I described towards the School in a notice, the reason why that I decline the benefits, don’t worry either the Remedial School or the Nobel-prize itself. Within this notice I described two sorts — individual and objective’s reason why.

Image result for Jean-Paul Sartre

Factors that are individual

Since I’ve usually declined the state insignia our rejection isn’t a rash motion. While in 1945, following the Next world-war, I had been provided the Legion of recognition, I declined it, though I’ve had buddies within the government. Because it has provided me a number of my buddies I never desired to join the Faculty de – France.

This viewpoint foundation is based on my knowledge of the writer’s job. The author, who required a situation within the sociable governmental or social region, should behave utilizing just these resources that fit in with him that’s the term that is published.

His visitors are exposed to a variety of variations to some stress personally I think unwanted. There’s a distinction between your trademark ” Jean-Paul or Jean-Paul Sartre Sartre “.

The author, accepting on the difference of the type, additionally, it links establishment or the Affiliation, which recognized its. Therefore, I affect. Nevertheless, if ” Jean-Paul Nobel, Sartre winner ” may behave in the protection of the opposition that is Venezuelan, hence he, together with you may lure and also the Nobel prize’s establishment.

An author shouldn’t permit herself to show towards the Start, even when, as in this instance, requires the absolute most type that is ethical.

It’s obvious this is exclusively my own viewpoint, which doesn’t have a critique of these who have been currently known with this specific honor. I appreciate many and seriously regard.

Factors that are objective

The just feasible type of battle about the entrance that is social — the battle for the coexistence of two ethnicities: American and Asian. I actually do not wish to state that you have to fraternization ethnicities. I am aware that those two cultures’ juxtaposition should undoubtedly consider conflict’s shape. But this mapping needs to happen between ethnicities and individuals with no treatment of establishments.

Personally, I firmly have the contradiction between both of these ethnicities: I’m those contradictions’ merchandise. Our sympathies are undoubtedly willing to the and also socialism alleged Western bloc, but I had been created and raised in a household that is bourgeois. This enables me to work well with all who would like a rapprochement between your two ethnicities. Nevertheless, I hope that ” best-man get”, that’s socialism.

And so I do not wish to consider any prizes neither in the West the greatest social regulators, though well-aware or in the East, they occur. If somebody abruptly provided me it, for instance, the reward, I similarly could not take, even though that my sympathies are private of socialism.

it created such, and for that reason started feasible occasions from the handle of the School, although I am aware the Nobel-prize isn’t a fictional reward of the American bloc.

Image result for Jean-Paul Sartre

This is exactly why in the scenario that is present, the Nobel-prize actually signifies a meant for authors of the West or “rebels” in the East. For instance, wasn’t granted among the best poets of US, Neruda. Never significantly mentioned Aragon’s candidacy, though this honor is deserved by him. It’s a proven fact that the only real Soviet function, who obtained the honor, was a guide printed abroad and barred in his local nation and never and that the Nobel-prize was granted to Sholokhov. The total amount might be renewed towards the same motion, but using the meaning that was the reverse. When others yet I authorized the “Manifesto of the 121”, I’d take with appreciation this honor, since therefore could be mentioned I’m-not alone, but glorified the reason for independence that we struggled. But this didn’t occur, once the battle was over and also the honor was handed in my experience.

How to answer the question “What to read?” the inhabitants of the Roman province of Egypt I–V centuries ad.

  1. The Epicureans

— The Treatises Of Metrodora

— Epicurus. “On justice” and “the pleasure”

“…Hello. Send you books of metrodora and books of Epicurus: “of justice”, which is one of the best; “On pleasure” book one… book two “About…” …another friend of Epicurus, and I will send; the other books I sent through… say Hello… it seems that they have not delivered… Be healthy. 4-th year. 4th hoyaka”.

A book of Epicurus “On justice and other virtues” was named among the best not only the author of the letter but of the historian Diogenes Laertius. From him, we know the names of the twelve works of metrodora — one of the main representatives of Epicureanism. “On pleasure” Epicurus is quoted also in Cicero. The fourth day of the month of hoyaka corresponds to 30 Nov.

  1. The Stoics

— Boat. “On austerity”

— Diogenes. “On marriage” and “how to avoid the sadness”

— Chrysippus. “On the treatment of parents”

— Antipater. “On the treatment of slaves”

— Posidonius. “About moral motivation”

“Feel friend Heraclides hi. Because I with all diligence try to buy useful books, especially those that are important to life, then I think that you, too fitting not to neglect the reading of these books because they give you extraordinary benefits to all who strive to succeed. Here are the books I gave you in Achilles. Be healthy; I was healthy. Say hi to people. Written in Alexandria:

  • Boat “On austerity”, books 3 and 4;
  • Diogenes “On marriage”;
  • Diogenes “On how to avoid all the trouble”;
  • Chrysippus “About the treatment of parents”;
  • Antipater “On the treatment of slaves”, books 1 and 2;
  • Posidonius “About moral motivation”, book 3;
  • From Theon to Heraclides, the philosopher”.

This extensive list shows the distribution of stoicism in Egypt of the Roman period. Almost all of these names were unknown until the publication of the letter. Only essay Diogenes “how to avoid sorrow” is mentioned in one papyrus list of books — the so-called prophetic papyrus, kept in Saint-Petersburg.

  1. Philologists and linguists, the end of the II century ad

— Gypsycat. “Make fun of in Comedy”

— Versager. “The tragic myths”

— Seleucus. “Grammatical time”

“Make and send me copies of the sixth and seventh books “the Fun in the Comedy” Gypsycat. Harpocration says that they are among the books Poliana. Most likely, others do too. He also has a brief summary in prose of the “Tragic myth” Perahora.

Says Harpocration, they are a bookseller Demetrius. I asked Apollonia to send me some of my books, what you yourself know from it. And make copies of the work of Seleucus “the times” and send me all the books you can find, except those which I have. In Diodorus and his circle is also something I have none.”

This letter was probably sent to Exiting from Alexandria. About the book “made Fun of in Comedy” is not known, but we know that the historian and the grammarian Hipicrit hail from the city of AMIS lived in the I century BC Also didn’t know anything about Pershore, nor the product of “a Tragic myth”, but extant data on Harpocration. This well-known grammarian of Alexandria lived in the second-century ad and compiled a dictionary of the ten Athenian orators. Mentioned in the letter, Polion may be others known of Alexandria, the lexicographer Valerius Pollio, the compiler of the dictionary attic Greek and Diodorus his son, Valery he was from Alexandria. Perhaps books referred to in the letter was used to train students in rhetorical schools.

  1. Christians, the beginning of the IV century BC

— Small Genesis

“My beloved mistress sister, greetings in the Lord. I lend the Ezra, since I lent you the Small Being. Hi God”.

This letter is written in a Christian environment. Unusually, that did not contain the names of the sender and the addressee — maybe as a precaution. Christianity was not yet officially accepted in the Roman Empire and was possible persecution. Small Genesis is the Greek title of the Book of Jubilees, where he outlined the events from the book of Genesis and explained by the sacred history with a hint of the end of the world. Instead, the sender (or assume that the BD) asks the Book of Ezra. It is unclear which of the texts attributed to this author have in mind. Perhaps it is the Apocalypse of Ezra — these eschatological (that is, concerning the end of the world) texts were very influential among early Christians.

  1. Rhetorician, 2nd half of V century BC

— Alexander Claudius. Commentary on Demosthenes

— Menander. “Art”, “Methods” and “a Commendable speech”

“My Lord and good brother Feognost greetings from Victor.

Let your eloquence vouchsafed to give Elijah, the servant of Mr. master, a book that I gave your fraternity when you were in Hermopole — because God knows that I really need! — review Alex on the speaker of Demosthenes; and the “Art” of Menander as quickly as possible.

And “Methods” and “a Commendable speech” as quickly as possible. ☧ Reminder Feognost from Victor”.

“Your eloquence” — the honorable treatment. So I wrote the lawyers and all who are professionally engaged in rhetoric. “Your brotherhood” — another appeal, which, like the monogram of the name of Christ at the end of the letter (☧), indicates that the correspondence involves two Christians. The author of a commentary on Demosthenes, Alexander the Sophist Claudius, known from other sources — it is referred to the Byzantine commentators and compilers of encyclopedias. Other books are written by Menander, a well — known rhetorician of Laodicea in Phrygia III century BC. e. Probably, the addressee and the letter writer were rhetoricians; Victor had to write a speech, and he asked me to bring the necessary books. The letter suggests that the Egyptian Christians in the fifth century continued to study the rhetoric of pagan samples.

How to start work

The book is like meeting with a stranger: a closed story in which you need to gradually discover and understand it. And themes can be quite similar. Or too complex. Or very thin. For example, art books. Happen, making an album of any artist, you take the album for another artist. And now, making another book, you see that they continue an old book the last of the artist because no key was found.

All must come from inside the material. There is no way that you sat down and came up. You can think of in the process when you already started something to understand and discover. What are the specifics of the author is, what its features, what it fails, what fails? From this concept depends on the selection of design elements.

The book requires an adequate understanding of space. How to work in it, how to equip it? It is the same that equip the apartment. How to make the bedroom and living room, and an office. The main thing — to understand a new topic and make it very close to live there for some time.

About the process

Sometimes start to gain headlines, words, and looked at them. This helps to visually understand and feel the material. Combinations and rhythm, the nature of the letters. If you already have the illustrations to look how they behave on the strip that they offer. The next stage is when you work with text and pictures. Looking at field margins, on how this visually works and corresponds in scale. Here are involved your artistic abilities.: what a picture of how to put what text with what. Sometimes you start to scream and tell the compiler or author (if it is someone alive, not Dostoevsky): “Hey, maybe some here, tip? And don’t want to add an epigraph? Let’s think together.”

About skins and fonts

The cover is a sign. Cover, which loses its signification, which is only informative, it looks bad, it is not visible to the viewer. If you just put on the cover of a piece of text, one such cover in hands will not take. It must be some kind of task, that it wanted to read, to see what’s inside. Is visual communication. You are trying to convey the message of the book, and the reader needs to understand and decipher. However, such cover is not omnivorous. They are designed for people who are interested in life.

The time is changing. In our life firmly screen: of course, it affects the book. The font is a picture — possibilities of typography, typography became much wider. Lines, letters can stand very close to each other. They can make noise to face, on the contrary, to push each other. They can create a very different mood: harmony, tranquility or fear. The capabilities of the font are enclosed in its transformation. This is the Silver age. Today font has learned to behave differently. In the book, in the chart, it can pulsate, move, escape — as on the screen or in a city is.

This is very different poets. What to do with the covers of their books? I thought the cover should be the verses. And how do these verses to gain? Slightly different fonts, consonant with the size, sound of the verse, by the master. Each font their capabilities. The grotesque creates one situation: he’s tough, determined. Antiqua is quite different: the classic, nuanced.

Here in the book, used a classic font, thoroughbred and sublime, with fine serifs. This font is exquisite, clear lines boldly stand on the page with poems. I chose a modern solution and made the cover of poems that begin at the spine, and then move on to the cover and trimmed at the other edge. This is only part of the sentence, but they really cut into the book: I want to open and start reading. Now we are preparing the next collection, and he wants a quiet and modest cover with a simple title. That is like those covers of the Silver age. This desire is dictated by the author’s attitude to his poetry that goes back into the past. They are not modern, they are about eternal. Although in this sense, and modern.

On how should look like a modern book

If we talk about the book as about the contemporary subject, it’s not about the products that we see in today’s stores. These colorful books say with the future reader in the language of the 1970-80-ies. The book is a single organism which, like any other thing, has its thought-out from beginning to end the design.

At European fairs and festivals, you can see the books very unexpected contents. It’s a totally different level of relationship to information, to what to read and what to watch. We are mainly published translated literature, that is well-executed from time to time.

The author gives these books to his friends and complains to me: “the First thing they say: “Oh, how a well-made book”. And I wanted to file it correctly. The younger generation does not know this wonderful person, artist, photographer, and writer. I wanted to make the book modern and bright, so it drew the attention of this audience. The book is called “Ragtime”. This is an old text, which is appended and changed. The time that they are, in a sense, torn apart: the texts are dated, and look at the epoch special. Therefore, the inscription on the cover is torn in half. In one volume, half of the word “Ragtime”, in the second volume the second. Together they are made into a single spectacle. It’s large font and bright color.

About the artists and readers

Sometimes say, “Oh, what fine print”. Take the sunglasses and font size normal. Judgments are hasty and not very accurate. The book should be a certain order, and this is very important for communication inside the publication. Experienced artists often find the right track. Sometimes, the artist wanted to do effectively and have lost the clarity in navigation.

Reader — a free man. He even thought to buy the book. Just went about his business, walked up to the collapse, sluggish looked at what is sold there. And suddenly something stopped him there and hooked. And he pulls his hand and takes it. This is exactly the situation when running a visual component. But at book fairs the number of books there is a feeling that anything is not necessary and not desirable. Because they are so many that do not want to choose.

What you need to know about the “Chronicles of Narnia” https://richardfigures.com/what-you-need-know-about-the-chronicles-of-narnia/ https://richardfigures.com/what-you-need-know-about-the-chronicles-of-narnia/#respond Tue, 29 Aug 2017 19:33:38 +0000 http://66.228.43.110/?p=155 “Stories on top on most listings of the greatest publications ever, of ” Staples Lewis, is just a mystical trend, the important thing to that will be nevertheless not discovered.

“Stories on top on most listings of the greatest publications ever, of ” Staples Lewis, is just a mystical trend, the important thing to that will be nevertheless not discovered. Attempt to work out to see them.

 

A sizable section of his life he trained the real history of literature the Renaissance and also the Center ages in Oxford, and for his Division in Cambridge, he headed at the conclusion. Along with the five medical publications and several posts, Lewis has printed eight publications within the style of Religious apologetics (faith in BBC throughout the Next world war created him well-known throughout England, and “the Screwtape Words” — in Europe and also the USA), a religious autobiography, three books, a tale, three science fiction book and two selections of verses. As in the event of JRR Tolkien Carroll writers, youngsters’ publications, which introduced Lewis popularity that is global, was for him, not the writing’s most crucial.

The main “Narnia” — the substance that they’re collected’s amazing variety. This really is particularly apparent about misinformation books’ history by T. R. R. Tolkien, a good friend of Lewis and other literary “Inkling”, a perfectionist mindful of the chastity and tranquility of motifs and styles. Tolkien done his publications for a long time and years (many were never completed), cautiously refined design and cautiously viewed to ensure that in its considerate particulars, the planet hasn’t broken outside impact. Allegorism doesn’t unfamiliar to Lewis but to determine “Narnia” an easy retelling of the tales — therefore fundamentally to streamline them.

Within the first area of the period, you will find Santa Claus (Santa Claus), the snowfall King from Andersen’s fairy-tales, fauns and centaurs from Traditional mythology, the limitless winter of the Scandinavian, British kids — directly in the books of Edith Nesbit, the tale of consequence and rebirth of the lion Aslan copies gospel tale of infidelity, delivery and resurrection of Jesus-Christ. To comprehend what “Stories of Narnia” attempt to decode varied and complicated substance into levels that are various.

The distress starts having a series by which you wish to study “Stories of Narnia”. The truth that they’re printed not within the purchase by which they certainly were created. The guide “wizard’s Nephew”, which informs concerning the development of Narnia, the appearance of the Bright switch and also the source of the wardrobe was created last, and first seemed in “the lion, the witch and also the clothing”, which keeps a sizable area of the appeal of the initial tale. Within the many smart Euro version sixth and sixth quantities of the eight-quantity accumulated functions of Lewis, it’s printed within this series.

After “the Lion, the witch and also the clothing” uses “the Mount and his child”, subsequently “King Caspian”, “journey of the beginning, or Boating on-the-edge of the planet”, “the Gold seat”, then your prequel “the wizard’s Nephew” and lastly “the Final fight”.

The rise of interest recently in the ” Chronicles Narnia” related to Hollywood movie modifications of the sequence. Followers of the fictional supply undoubtedly confuse, but below the denial of the brand new followers of the movies was significantly clearer than in the event of Master of the bands. Which is, strangely enough, not really as. The nation of Aslan, the variation of the publications about Narnia reduces allegorist or price list. Unlike Master of the bands, wherever dwarves and elves — is mainly dwarves and elves, with characters “Narnia” frequently demonstrably exists the background (once the lion isn’t simply Leo), but since practical variation changes are saturated in allusions towards the tale in smooth motion. Definitely better movies of Bi-bi-si, chance in 1988-1990, with luxurious Aslan and wonderful speaking creatures: “the lion, the witch and also the clothing”, “King Caspian”, “journey of the beginning” and “the Gold seat”.

What is the American poetry of XX century and is it possible to speak of a single tradition? Tell, taking as paradigmatic samples of the poems of Wallace Stevens, E. E. Cummings, Robert frost and Sylvia Plath.

American poetry is huge, and the list of outstanding poets of the XX century cannot be limited to nor four, nor ten, nor twenty names. The poem, about which speech will go, is a personal choice of the compiler. However, for Americans, they are quite an “iconic” (other, less paradigmatic variants can be found in the section “Alternatives”). Speaking of American poetry, it is important to define what a national tradition. If her Thomas Stearns Eliot, who is an American was an Englishman, or Wystan Hugh Auden, selected reverse metamorphosis? How to answer the question, is there a common American tradition, which applies equally Marianne Moore and Langston Hughes, Allen Ginsberg and Anne Sexton, Maya Angelou and John Ashbury? So we will talk about the classic, recognizable and short texts.

Wallace Stevens was born in 1879. He studied at Harvard University (preserved written a detailed plan of the construction of a fence around the local campus, with a scrupulous enumeration of all the advantages of such an enterprise) and the new York law school, he worked in law and insurance offices. In one of them, located in the capital city of Connecticut Hartford, he was promoted to Vice President — and refused to leave his post when he was offered a chair at Harvard. Political views he was a conservative.

And behind that boring facade hiding one of the most splendid poetic fantasies of the twentieth century. However, with the exception of poems and essays, she rarely breaks out: perhaps the most striking episodes in the life of Stevens — quarrel with Robert frost and brawl with Hemingway (Stevens attacked first, broke in Hemingway’s hand and was lowered down the stairs). But in verse Stevens was a kind of Walter Mitty his first book “Harmonium” has caused confusion and enthusiasm of the critics pointed out that the poet “climbs out of the skin, but would not sound like anyone else from writing to it”.

Books Stevens baffle some titles: “the Emperor of ice cream”, “Mouse dance Mordecai”, “the Worms at heaven’s gate”, “People with weak vocal cords”, “Desire to indulge in love in the pagoda” — all this brings to mind the Russian futurists with their “Dead moon” and “Sasahara Kry”, which came out around the same time, when Stevens made his debut in print. However, here it was not shocking: Stevens definitely belongs among the modernists, it was an essential pleasure which gives you the unusual combination of images, the invention of stories as if plucked from a vast supernatural epic (this technique a hundred years later, will enjoy Russian “new epic”). Stevens believed the imagination, the highest and most noble value of the poet. The ability to create worlds, new releases, and narratives of the poet, who perceives his art, allows not to depend on the dictates of the old Grand narrative. Poetry for him is the search for the necessary, life-supporting, and not the existence; he even suggested that as a Supreme Fiction, “the Supreme Fiction”, poetry can replace religion. The ability to do so with poetic language gave him a sense of superiority — as in the demiurgic “anecdote of the jar” in the above “Invective against swans”. Stevens was an independent thinker, but his transition from reality to fantasy, shift the focus to their own way of seeing is often compared with the phenomenological reduction Husserl

About the poem

This is the second poem from his debut collection, “Harmonium”, released in 1923 when Stevens was already 43 years. As if for no reason it denounces flying swans, calling them geese (Grigory Kruzhkov translation chose a good contemptuous word “gender”). Their mission is opposed to the flight of the soul, which is able to be gone a lot further. The sun is on the wane, dying; the majestic statues have blackened crow — picture for swans bleak, but for someone who accuses them, somehow encouraging.

Despite the presence in the text “genders” and crow droppings, the style of the poem is elevated and old-fashioned. However, this grandiloquence ironic. So, the word refers to the Paphian Paphos — birthplace of Aphrodite. In the Greco-Roman tradition, the Swan was associated with Aphrodite or Venus. Some of the ancient images of Aphrodite is depicted riding on a Swan or ruling chariot drawn by swans (think “icy chariot” at the end of the poem). In conjunction with these “cartoons”, the word Paphian reducing the value becomes “erotic, obscene”. Finally, if the Greek word “pathos” (Πάφος) Phi (φ) is replaced by theta (θ), we get “pathos” — that most sublime speaking, which is a parody of Stevens.

Most interpreters “Invective” agree that Stevens is not attacked by the swans, and the allegory of the hills used the old, Victorian poets. This is not the only case when Stevens is smashing old rhetoric, using natural images. In the poem “the way of the conversation with the clouds,” he quite openly reported that under the clouds are referring to a philosophical question. Gregory Circles in an article about Stevens recalls other exalted swans poetic tradition of Horace, mallarmé, Yates. Looking at them, Stevens says that “the symbolism is gone, his “curly will.” Over time the poetic schools, the time has come individuals. Swans fly away. They are replaced by crows, the contamination with their droppings monuments of the past.”

To understand the “Invective” it’s worth remembering one of the favorite images of Stevens, who dedicated his essay “the Noble charioteer and the sound of words”: an allegory of the soul from Plato’s dialogue “Phaedrus”. Plato likens the soul “is connected to the power cruise of the steam rides and the charioteer”, one of the horses — the divine origin and seeks up; the second is the earthly origin, and it pulls to the ground. The instability of this image, in the end, undermines faith in him, however, the steam team soul still reaches those places where there is no access “froze chariots” of swans.
