The Pale Usher: Impressions of Moby Dick: Herman Melville and Modern Man's Transcendental Journey

James LaFond

nidottu
In The Pale Usher, the author, masculinity historian James LaFond, examines the text and subtext of the 25-chapter overture to Moby Dick as an allegory of Civilized Man's awakening to his socially submerged self-a primal quest within the domesticated human in search of his authentic self. In this work, the author goes on to examine the works of such authors as Robinson Jeffers, J. R. R. Tolkien, Clark Ashton Smith, Thomas Ligotti, Dan Simmons, Bram Stoker, Ambrose Bierce, Phillip K. Dick, Carl Jung, Robert Bloch and H.P. Lovecraft.

Dr. Herman H. Schwedt ist einer der international renommiertesten Experten f r die vatikanischen Institutionen und Archive, besonders f r das Archiv der R mischen Inquisition und Indexkongregation, das bis vor sechs Jahren der ffentlichkeit nicht zug nglich war. Seine umfassenden Forschungen vor und nach der ffnung des Archivs durch Papst Johannes Paul II. stellen einen grundlegenden Zugang f r die von au en oft so undurchsichtigen r mischen Beh rden dar und bilden ein wesentliches Fundament f r alle weiteren wissenschaftlichen Projekte, die sich mit der R mischen Inquisition besch ftigen. Die Ergebnisse Schwedts, die sich in zahlreichen, weit verstreuten Aufs tzen niederschlagen, werden in der vorliegenden Festschrift geb ndelt. Sie informieren zum einen ber den Aufbau, die Arbeitsweise und Funktionen der genannten r mischen Kongregationen. Dar ber hinaus liefern sie anhand der Darstellung einzelner F lle einen tieferen Einblick in die konfliktreiche Auseinandersetzung der katholischen Kirche mit den Zeitstr mungen des 19. und fr hen 20. Jahrhunderts.

Literary Luminaries of the Berkshires: From Herman Melville to Patricia Highsmith

Literary Luminaries of the Berkshires: From Herman Melville to Patricia Highsmith

Bernard A. Drew

History Press
2015

The Massachusetts Berkshires have long been a mecca for literary greats from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Edith Wharton to Sinclair Lewis and Joan Ackermann. The Green River in Great Barrington inspired William Cullen Bryant's poetry. Charles Pierce Burton's childhood hometown, Adams, became the setting for his frolicking Boys of Bob's Hill juvenile books. During an interlude in Lenox, Patricia Highsmith consulted a local undertaker for details to use in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Bernard A. Drew brings together a fascinating chronicle of some 250 wordsmiths who took inspiration from the hills and valleys of the Berkshires.

The Passages of H.M.: A Novel of Herman Melville

Jay Parini

ANCHOR BOOKS

With the same masterly touch that made The Last Station so powerful, Jay Parini penetrates the mind and soul of another literary titan. Through the eyes of his long-suffering wife, Lizzie, we are introduced to an aging, angry, and drunken Herman Melville. He is decades past his flourishing career as a writer of bestselling tales of seagoing adventures. His epic but ungainly Moby-Dick was meant to make him immortal, but critics scoffed and readers fled. He spends his days trudging the docks of New York as a customs inspector and contemplating his malign literary fate. But within him is stirring, perhaps, one great work yet. . . . In a narrative that shifts seamlessly between Lizzie's personal account and evocative snapshots of Melville's crowded life, Parini manages to humanize a giant of letters, while illuminating the source of his matchless creativity.

The Representation of the Savage in James Fenimore Cooper and Herman Melville

The Representation of the Savage in James Fenimore Cooper and Herman Melville

Anna Krauthammer

Since the seventeenth century, ethnicity has been the central issue in the American search for a national identity. The articulation of this issue can clearly be seen in the representation of non-white others in the literature of the nineteenth century, specifically in the works of James Fenimore Cooper and Herman Melville. This book examines how both Cooper and Melville manipulated literary images of Native Americans, African Americans, and other non-Europeans, thus revealing how America created the image of the savage – by which it was alternately attracted and repulsed – as a way of defining its own identity.

Frontiers in Molecular Design and Chemical Information Science - Herman Skolnik Award Symposium 2015

Frontiers in Molecular Design and Chemical Information Science - Herman Skolnik Award Symposium 2015

This book focuses on broadly defined areas of chemical information science— with special emphasis on chemical informatics— and computer-aided molecular design. The computational and cheminformatics methods discussed, and their application to drug discovery, are essential for sustaining a viable drug development pipeline. It is increasingly challenging to identify new chemical entities and the amount of money and time invested in research to develop a new drug has greatly increased over the past 50 years. The average time to take a drug from clinical testing to approval is currently 7.2 years. Therefore, the need to develop predictive computational techniques to drive research more efficiently to identify compounds and molecules, which have the greatest likelihood of being developed into successful drugs for a target, is of great significance. New methods such as high throughput screening (HTS) and techniques for the computational analysis of hits have contributed to improvements in drug discovery efficiency. The SARMs developed by Jürgen and colleagues have enabled display of SAR data in a more transparent scaffold/functional SAR table. There are many tools and databases available for use in applied drug discovery techniques based on polypharmacology. The cheminformatics approaches and methodologies presented in this volume and at the Skolnik Award Symposium will pave the way for improved efficiency in drug discovery. The lectures and the chapters also reflect the various aspects of scientific enquiry and research interests of the 2015 Herman Skolnik award recipient.
