The Fall of Athens
ISBN: 9781942515401 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Fall of Athens reflects the bleak state of present-day Athens and reminds the reader that there is nothing new about Greece's suffering. Combining present observations with portraits of the Greek musicians and writers, Holst-Warhaft's book is both a peon of praise for the music and poetry that the author first discovered in the Greece of the 1960's, and a reminder of how much the country has changed since it returned to democracy in 1974. Having played in the orchestras of such legends as Mikis Theodorakis and Dionysis Savvopoulos, the author had a bird's eye view of 20th century Greek...

Dangerous Voices: Women's Laments and Greek Literature
ISBN: 9780415121651 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Dangerous Voices Holst-Warhaft investigates the power and meaning of the ancient lament, especially women's mourning of the dead, and sets out to discover why legislation was introduced to curb these laments in antiquity. An investigation of laments ranging from New Guinea to Greece suggests that this essentially female art form gave women considerable power over the rituals of death. The threat they posed to the Greek state caused them to be appropriated by male writers including the tragedians. Holst-Warhaft argues that the loss of the traditional lament in Greece and other...

ISBN: 9780674498570 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Having set aside age-old ways of mourning, how do people in the modern world cope with tragic loss? Using traditional mourning rituals as an instructive touchstone, Gail Holst-Warhaft explores the ways sorrow is managed in our own times and how mourning can be manipulated for social and political ends.
Since ancient times political and religious authorities have been alert to the dangerously powerful effects of communal expressions of grief--while valuing mourning rites as a controlled outlet for emotion. But today grief is often seen as a psychological problem: the... Having set aside age-old ways of mourning, how do people in the modern world cope with tragic loss?

Road to Rembetika: music of a greek sub-culture, songs of love, sorrow and hashish
ISBN: 9789607120076 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The rembetika, songs that were sung in the poor quarters of Smyrna, Istanbul and the ports of Greece in the late nineteenth century, and became the popular bouzouki music of the 1930s to 1950s, have many parallels with American blues. Like the blues, the rembetika were the music of outsiders, who developed their own slang and their own forms of expression. Road to Rembetika was the first book in English to attempt a general survey of the world of the 'rembetes' who smoked hashish and danced the passionate introspective zebekiko to release their emotions. The author Gail Holst, an Australian...
