The Heroic Temper: Studies in Sophoclean Tragedyvolume 35
ISBN: 9780520049574 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The first two chapters of this book isolate and describe the literary phenomenon of the Sophoclean tragic hero. In all but one of the extant Sophoclean dramas, a heroic figure who is compounded of the same literary elements faced a situation which is essentially the same. The demonstration of this recurrent pattern is made not through character-analysis, but through a close examination of the language employed by both the hero and those with whom he contends. The two chapters attempt to present what might, with a slight exaggeration, be called the "formula" of Sophoclean tragedy. A great...

Essays Ancient and Modern
ISBN: 9780801841071 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Linked by the events of Bernard Knox's remarkable life, the twenty-five chapters of "Essays Ancient and Modern" cover subjects ranging from Hesiod, Homer, and Thucydides to Auden, Forster, and the Spanish Civil War. With a masterful eye for the telling detail, Knox continually reminds us that we share the present with antiquity's living past. A soldier in Italy finds a battered book in the rubble of a bombed-out firehouse-- and opens it to read Virgil's denunciation of war. An illiterate Greek bard composes a garbled Homeric song to celebrate the recent heroism of local partisans. A traveler...

Oedipus at Thebes: Sophocles Tragic Hero and His Time
ISBN: 9780300074239 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this widely praised book, an eminent classicist examines Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus in the context of fifth-century B.C. Athens. In attempting to discover what the play meant to Sophocles' contemporaries--and in particular in disentangling Sophocles' ideas from Freud's psychoanalytical interpretations--Bernard Knox casts fresh light on its timeless and universal nature. For this edition, Knox has provided a new preface and a list of suggested readings.
"What a joy it is to welcome this book back in print. As perennial as Sophocles' great play itself, Knox's work has never gone... In this widely praised book, an eminent classicist examines Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus in the context of fifth-century B.C. Athens. In attempt...

The Oldest Dead White European Males: And Other Reflections on the Classics
ISBN: 9780393312331 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Should the ancient Greeks "the oldest dead white European males" be kept alive in our collective memory? Why study them at all if, by passing their destructive ideas to the Romans and eventually to the rest of Europe, they may ultimately be responsible for much of what s wrong with American society? In this supremely lucid and elegant book (The New Yorker), Bernard Knox poses and answers such fundamental questions, helping us to remember the astonishing originality of the ancient Greeks and all that we have learned and continue to learn from them."

The Norton Book of Classical Literature
ISBN: 9780393034264 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 872 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "The literature of the classical world that has survived is a pitiful remnant of what once existed...". So begins Bernard Knox's preface to an anthology that introduces the modern reader to the enormous breadth and rich variety of that "pitiful remnant" - the foundation of Western literature and culture, the inspiration for writers from Dante to Shakespeare to T. S. Eliot. However much - or little - of it we may have read, classical literature has shaped our world and how we perceive it. Yet for most of us classical writing is little more than a narrow circle of legendary figures. The names...

ISBN: 9780393058109 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 597 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ovid's epic poem whose theme of change has resonated throughout the ages has become one of the most important texts of Western imagination, an inspiration from Dante's time to the present day, when writers such as Salman Rushdie and Italo Calvino have found a living source in Ovid's work. In this new, long-anticipated translation of Metamorphoses, Charles Martin combines a close fidelity to Ovid's text with verse that catches the speed and liveliness of the original. Portions of the translation have already appeared in such publications as Arion, The Formalist, The Tennessee Quarterly, and...
