Tolkien and Wagner: The Ring and Der Ring
ISBN: 9783905703214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Tolkien famously rejected comparison of his Ring with Wagners, though there is good evidence that Tolkien knew much more about Der Ring des Nibelungen than he let on after the publication of The Lord of the Rings. Analysis of that work from a Wagnerian point of view enables consideration of it in a new way. By exploring the parallels between Wagners Ring and Tolkiens, a fresh interpretation of Tolkiens work emerges, one that hinges on associating Gandalf with Wotan. Like Wagners god, Gandalf has to find a way of solving the problems posed by the Ring and like Wotan he cannot succeed without...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In 1878, Robert Louis Stevenson was suffering from poor health, struggling to survive on the income derived from his writings, and tormented by his infatuation with Fanny Osbourne, a married American woman. His response was to embark on a journey through the Cevennes with a donkey, Modestine, and a notebook, which he later transformed into "Travels with a Donkey."

It recounts the diabolical decline of Ambrosio, a Capuchin superior, who succumbs first to temptations offered by a young girl who has entered his monastery disguised as a boy, and continues his...
