The Varieties of Enchantment: Early Greek Views of the Nature and Function of Poetry
ISBN: 9780807842065 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Walsh argues that the history of Greek poetics from Homer to Aristophanes was controlled by a preoccupation with enchantment -- the audience's emotional response to the performance of song. Homer made enchantment the pivotal topic of his account of his art; Hesiod and Pindar developed elaborate psychologies of forgetfulness and memory; Euripides and Aristophanes looked back at such theories in a mood that was both critical and nostalgic.

The Battle of Midway: Searching for the Truth
ISBN: 9781508893813 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is a book about the 1942 Battle of Midway, the turning point of the Pacific war against Japan. It was seeded at a 1989 reunion of the author's WW II dive bombing squadron. It begins with an idle curiosity and ends with an appeal. It is a story that has fascinated me as it evolved from necessary wartime secrecy to unnecessary secrecy today... 74 years later. It is the story of a scandal without evil that brings profit to no one. It is a story of misguided men traveling a path paved with good intentions. It is a book that challenges official history, naval institutions and historians. It...
