Deep Classics: Rethinking Classical Reception
ISBN: 9781474260527 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fragmented, buried, and largely lost, the classical past presents formidable obstacles to anyone who would seek to know it.

This volume offers a new way to understand the modalities and aims of Classics itself, through the ages. Its individual chapters draw fruitful connections between the reception of the classical and current concerns in philosophy of mind, cognitive theory,...

ISBN: 9780199367344 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although long considered to be a barren region on the periphery of ancient Chinese civilization, the southwest massif was once the political heartland of numerous Bronze Age polities.

In the first century BC, Han imperial conquest reduced local power and began a process of cultural assimilation. Instead of a clash...

ISBN: 9780884140993 / Angielski / Twarda / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Hebrew Bible contains a prohibition against divine images (Exod 20:2-5a).

Aristophanes and His Tragic Muse: Comedy, Tragedy and the Polis in 5th Century Athens
ISBN: 9789004310902 / Angielski / Twarda / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the many studies of Greek comedy and tragedy separately, scholarship has generally neglected the relation of the two. And yet the genres developed together, were performed together, and influenced each other to the extent of becoming polar opposites. In Aristophanes and His Tragic Muse, Stephanie Nelson considers this opposition through an analysis of how the genres developed, by looking at the tragic and comic elements in satyr drama, and by contrasting specific Aristophanes plays with tragedies on similar themes, such as the individual, the polis, and the gods. The study...

Khyentse was famed for his... In?A Revolutionary Artist of Tibet author David Jackson focuses on the Khyenri style, the least known among the three major painting styles ... |
