Patterns of Redemption in Virgil's Georgics
ISBN: 9780521155120 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is a study of one of the most famous poems of Roman literature, Virgil's Georgics. By close reading of selected passages in the poem it seeks to understand the work in terms of the cultural and political upheavals that were afflicting Rome at the time of its composition. The poem, it argues, constitutes an audacious attempt to explain and justify the violent civil wars that had recently brought Octavian (the future Augustus, with whom Virgil was closely associated) to power in Rome.

The Buddhas of Bamiyan
ISBN: 9780674503793 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For 1,400 years, two colossal figures of the Buddha overlooked the fertile Bamiyan Valley on the Silk Road in Afghanistan. Witness to a melting pot of passing monks, merchants, and armies, the Buddhas embodied the intersection of East and West, and their destruction by the Taliban in 2001 provoked international outrage. Llewelyn Morgan excavates the layers of meaning these vanished wonders hold for a fractured Afghanistan. Carved in the sixth and seventh centuries, the Buddhas represented a confluence of religious and artistic traditions from India, China, Central Asia, and Iran, and even...

Musa Pedestris: Metre and Meaning in Roman Verse
ISBN: 9780199554188 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 450 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A characteristic of Greek and Latin poetry (sometimes an intimidating one) is the variety of metrical shapes it can adopt. Llewelyn Morgan offers an accessible account of some of the most common of these metres in Roman poetry, and explains how the poets can exploit them to support, supplement, or indeed drive the meaning of the poems they carry. Metre is revealed as an aspect of Roman poetry which is every bit as creative as its word play, and new insights are given to a range of Roman poems, from reassessments of familiar poems by Catullus and Horace to explanations of the remarkable...
