The Quality of Life: Living Well, Dying Well
ISBN: 9781450203586 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How best may those of us who have our wits about us care for old, frail people whose minds are lost forever? The Quality of Life springs from Janet Lembke's experiences during her mother's slow decline after suffering two strokes. She examines death by choice--suicide, assisted or otherwise, the bioethics of withdrawal of life support, advance medical directives and living wills, dementia and how to cope with it, hospice, and objective criteria for assessing quality of life. Lembke interviewed many people, including two women who helped their mothers die, several doctors, a priest, a rabbi,...

Skinny Dipping: And Other Immersions in Water, Myth, and Being Human
ISBN: 9780813922850 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 177 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The author of the acclaimed Dangerous Birds followed that success with a new collection of essays on the natural world, these connected by the theme of water: exploring issues as varied as the joy that water brings, the wistful rememberings it engenders, and its sacredness. As with all of Lembke's essays, the world of classical myth and its characters meld with her native haunts and their people, lending resonance to the seemingly simplest things: a beetle in the garden, a tangle of forgotten roses, an afternoon rainstorm. Now available in paperback for the first time,... The author of the acclaimed Dangerous Birds followed that success with a new collection of essays on the natural world, these connected by t... |

Virgil's Georgics
ISBN: 9780300119862 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This masterful new verse translation of Virgil's Georgics speaks as powerfully to our times as it did to the ancient poet's. Janet Lembke presents this unsurpassed nature poem in an American idiom that is both elegant and sensitive to the meaning and rhythm of Virgil's original paean to the earth.
"This work is clearly by a master translator. Lembke moves easily from the Latin hexameter into English verse of loose, five-beat rhythm that well captures that of the original."--Michael Putnam, Brown University "A major new translation."--Rosanna Warren This masterful new verse translation of Virgil's Georgics speaks as powerfully to our times as it did to the ancient poet's.

Persians
ISBN: 9780195070088 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Persians, Aeschylus' earliest surviving tragedy, holds a fascination both for readers of Greek drama and Greek history. Not only is it the earliest existing play in the Western tradition, it is drawn directly from the playwright's own experiences at the battle of Salamis, making it the only account of the Persian Wars composed by an eyewitness. And as pure tragedy, it is a masterpiece. Aeschylus tells the story of the war from the Persian point of view, and his pride in the great victory of Greeks is tempered with a real compassion for Xerxes and his vanquished nation. Lembke and...

Electra
ISBN: 9780195085761 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Under the general editorship of Peter Burian and Alan Shapiro, each volume includes a critical introduction, commentary on the text, full stage directions, and a glossary of the mythical and geographical references in the plays.
