Founders Keepers, a C.o.P. on the Scene Mystery

Founders Keepers, a C.o.P. on the Scene Mystery

A parent's worst nightmare...and a police chief's as well As dusk settles on Chief of Police Judith Anderson's first Founders Day celebration in her adopted city, she's breathing out a sigh and itching to get out of her dress uniform. Her relief is short-lived, though, when a mother's scream cuts the air. Her toddler is missing. Judith's department springs into action, but there's no sign of the child-just a blood-chilling discovery. A stuffed bear, found near where she disappeared and wearing the little girl's pink sunglasses, suggests a sinister motive rather than an accident. Judith oversees a team of law enforcement officers from all over northern Florida who comb the city, but she's struggling with multiple distractions, including flashbacks to her own cousin's abduction decades ago. Suspects for the toddler's kidnapping are plentiful, yet their leads aren't panning out. And with every passing hour, the odds of finding the little girl unharmed diminish. Can Judith and her team find the child in time, or will she have to face the heart-wrenching reality that this little one, like her cousin, may never be found...or at least not alive?

C. P. Cavafy

C. P. Cavafy

Panagiotis Roilos

University of Illinois Press
2009

Konstantinos P. Kavafis--known to the English-reading world as C. P. Cavafy--has been internationally recognized as an important poet and attracted the admiration of eminent literary figures such as E. M. Forster, F. T. Marinetti, W. H. Auden, George Seferis, and James Merrill. Cavafy's idiosyncratic poetry remains one of the most influential and perplexing voices of European modernism.Focusing on Cavafy's intriguing work, this book navigates new territories in critical theory and offers an interdisciplinary study of the construction of (homo)erotic desire in poetry in terms of metonymic discourse and anti-economic libidinal modalities. Panagiotis Roilos shows that problematizations of art production, market economy, and trafficability of erôs in diverse late-nineteenth and early twentieth-century European sociocultural and political contexts were re-articulated in Cavafy's poetry in new subversive ways that promoted an "unorthodox" discursive and libidinal anti-economy of jouissance.

C. P. Snow and the Struggle of Modernity

C. P. Snow and the Struggle of Modernity

John de la Mothe

University of Texas Press
1992
pokkari
The condition of modernity springs from that tension between science and the humanities that had its roots in the Enlightenment but reached its full flowering with the rise of twentieth-century technology. It manifests itself most notably in the crisis of individuality that is generated by the nexus of science, literature, and politics, one that challenges each of us to find a way of balancing our personal identities between our public and private selves in an otherwise estranging world. This challenge, which can only be expressed as "the struggle of modernity," perhaps finds no better expression than in C. P. Snow. In his career as novelist, scientist, and civil servant, C. P. Snow (1905-1980) attempted to bridge the disparate worlds of modern science and the humanities.While Snow is often regarded as a late-Victorian liberal who has little to say about the modernist period in which he lived and wrote, de la Mothe challenges this judgment, reassessing Snow's place in twentieth-century thought. He argues that Snow's life and writings-most notably his Strangers and Brothers sequence of novels and his provocative thesis in The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution-reflect a persistent struggle with the nature of modernity. They manifest Snow's belief that science and technology were at the center of modern life.

C. P. Cavafy: The Unfinished Poems

C. P. Cavafy: The Unfinished Poems

C. P. Cavafy

Knopf Publishing Group
2009
sidottu
A remarkable discovery, an extraordinary literary event: the never-before translated Unfinished Poems of the great Alexandrian Greek poet Constantine Cavafy, published for the first time in English alongside a revelatory new rendering of the Collected Poems--translated and annotated by the renowned critic, classicist, and award-winning author of The Lost. When he died in 1933 at the age of seventy, C. P. Cavafy left the drafts of thirty poems among his papers--some of them masterly, nearly completed verses, others less finished texts, all accompanied by notes and variants that offer tantalizing glimpses of the poet's sometimes years-long method of rewriting and revision. These remarkable poems, each meticulously filed in its own dossier by the poet, remained in the Cavafy Archive in Athens for decades before being published in a definitive scholarly edition in Greek in 1994. Now, with the cooperation and support of the Archive, Daniel Mendelsohn brings this hitherto unknown creative outpouring to English readers for the first time. Beautiful works in their own right--from a six-line verse on the "birth of a poem" to a longer work that brilliantly paints the autumn of Byzantium in unexpectedly erotic colors--these unfinished poemsprovide a thrilling window into Cavafy's writing process during the last decade of his life, the years of his greatest production. They brilliantly explore, often in new ways, the poet's well-established themes: identity and time, the agonies of desire and the ironies of history, cultural decline and reappropriation of the past. And, like the Collected Poems, the Unfinished Poems offers a substantial introduction and notes that provide helpful historical, textual, and literary background for each poem. This splendid translation, together with the Collected Poems, is a cause for celebration--the definitive presentation of Cavafy in English.

C. P. Cavafy; George (EDT) Savidis; Edmund (TRN) Keeley

Princeton University Press
2009
pokkari
C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) lived in relative obscurity in Alexandria, and a collected edition of his poems was not published until after his death. Now, however, he is regarded as the most important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems are considered among the most powerful in modern European literature. This revised bilingual edition of Collected Poems offers the reader the original Greek texts facing what are now recognized as the standard English translations of Cavafy's poetry. It is this translation that best captures the poet's mixture of formal and idiomatic language and that preserves the immediacy of his increasingly frank treatment of homosexual eroticism, his brilliant re-creation of history, and his astute political ironies. This new bilingual edition also features the notes of editor George Savidis and a new foreword by Robert Pinsky.
