Samuel, Kings and Chronicles I

Samuel, Kings and Chronicles I

T. T.Clark Ltd
2016
sidottu
In this volume scholarly voices from diverse contexts and social locations are gathered together to bring new or unfamiliar facets of biblical texts to light, focusing on issues of intertextuality. Samuel, Kings and Chronicles I sheds light from new perspectives on themes in these so-called historical books including Asian American and Chinese readings, issues of land, genealogy and maleness. The authors challenge us to consider how we deal with cultural distances between ourselves and these ancient writings - and between one another in the contemporary world.These goal of these essays is de-centre the often homogeneous first-world orientation of much biblical scholarship and open to up new possibilities for discovery of meaning and method.

Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra-Nehemiah

T. T.Clark Ltd
2021
sidottu
This volume brings together disparate views about biblical texts in the books of Samuel, Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah and examines their influence in the life of contemporary communities, demonstrating how today’s environments and disorders help readers to acquire new insights into such texts.The contributing scholars hail from different continents - from East Asia to the United States to Europe to South Africa and Israel - and count themselves as members of various Jewish and Christian traditions or secularist ways of life. But, in spite of their differences in location and community membership, and perhaps in the spirit of the times (2020 and its global discontents), they share preoccupations with questions of ethics in politics and life, ‘proper’ death, violence and social exclusion or inclusion. This volume offers readers a better understanding of how politics and faith can be melded, both in ancient and contemporary contexts, to serve the interests of certain classes and societies, often at the expense of others.

In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors offer insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible and passionate introduction to the most important poets in our literature.Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was born in Ottery St Mary, Devon, the youngest son of a clergyman. He was educated at Christ's Hospital School, London where he began his friendship with Charles Lamb, and Jesus College, Cambridge. He first met Dorothy and William Wordsworth in 1797 and a close association developed between them, issuing in their groundbreaking joint-publication, Lyrical Ballads, in 1799. Coleridge subsequently settled in the Lake District, and thereafter in London, where he lectured on Shakespeare and published his literary and philosophical theories in the Biographia Literaria (1817). He died in 1834 having overseen a final edition of his Poetical Works. As poet, philosopher and critic, Coleridge stands as one of the seminal figures of his time.

Samuel Beckett

Faber Faber
2006
pokkari
The present volume gathers all of Beckett's texts for theatre, from 1955 to 1984. It includes both the major dramatic works and the short and more compressed texts for the stage and for radio.'He believes in the cadence, the comma, the bite of word on reality, whatever else he believes; and his devotion to them, he makes clear, is a sufficient focus for the reader's attention. In the modern history of literature he is a unique moral figure, not a dreamer of rose-gardens but a cultivator of what will grow in the waste land, who can make us see the exhilarating design that thorns and yucca share with whatever will grow anywhere.' - Hugh KennerContents: Waiting for Godot, Endgame, Happy Days, All That Fall, Acts Without Words, Krapp's Last Tape, Roughs for the Theatre, Embers, Roughs for the Radio, Words and Music, Cascando, Play, Film, The Old Tune, Come and Go, Eh Joe, Breath, Not I, That Time, Footfalls, Ghost Trio,...but the clouds..., A Piece of Monologue, Rockaby, Ohio Impromptu, Quad, Catastrophe, Nacht und Traume, What Where.

Collected Poems of Samuel Beckett

Collected Poems of Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett

Faber Faber
2013
pokkari
It was as a poet that Samuel Beckett launched himself in the little reviews of 1930s Paris, and as a poet that he ended his career.The Collected Poems is the most complete edition of Beckett's poetry and verse translations ever to be published, as well as the first critical edition. It establishes a significant new canon, and the commentary draws on a wide range of published sources, manuscripts and Beckett's extensive correspondence. The notes place each poem in context, detailing the history and circumstances of its composition; they indicate significant variants and help explain obscure turns of phrase and allusions (frequently sourced to Beckett's notebooks); they also identify resonances between poems and across Beckett's work as a whole. The commentary is written in a lively and engaging style and is intended equally for the general reader, the student of modernism and the Beckett specialist.

Samuel Johnson was first published in 1934. It is being reissued to mark the 300th anniversary of Johnson's birth and the sixtieth anniversary of Hugh Kingsmill's death.In the words of Richard Ingrams, 'Samuel Johnson was the only biography of Kingsmill's written in a spirit of sympathy with his subject and it is for that reason the most successful of his books and must rank as one of the best short biographies of Johnson. Kingsmill had much in common with Johnson. He expressed himself best in company with others and found writing an arduous task; the circumstances of his life were unfortunate and he had the same habit as Johnson of almost courting discomfort.'Also being reissued at the same time is Hugh Kingsmill's anthology Johnson without Boswell.

The Theatrical Notebooks of Samuel Beckett

The Theatrical Notebooks of Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett

Faber Faber
2019
pokkari
'Pattern is as crucial to Beckett's eye as to his ear', writes Gontarski, 'and that patterning dominates his theatrical notes: motion is repeated to echo other motion, posture to echo other posture, gestures to echo other gestures, sounds to echo other sounds. The principle of analogy is fundamental.'Samuel Beckett directed two separate productions of Endgame, once with the Schiller Theater Company in Berlin in 1967, and again with the San Quentin Drama Workshop in 1980. For both productions he prepared detailed notes that are reproduced here in facsimile for the first time.Beckett's revisions for both his productions maintain a consistency - with minor variations to allow for strengths or weaknesses of particular actors - that make a 'corrected' (Beckett's word) text not only possible but desirable, a reflection of the substantial amount of thinking and theatrical testing the work has undergone since its publication. No previous edition - English, French or German - includes the complete production-generated changes. This text was approved by Samuel Beckett.

Samuel Beckett directed Krapp's Last Tape on four separate occasions: this volume offers a facsimile of his 1969 Schiller-Theater notebook.Professor Knowlson writes that in these notes 'we see Beckett simplifying, shaping and refining, as he works towards a realization of the play that will function well dramatically. The material reveals a flexibility and openness of approach often considered alien to Beckett's ways of working in the theatre.' The Schiller notebook also contains some of the most explicit analysis by Beckett of his own work ever revealed.The revised text incorporates many of the changes Beckett made in the 1969 Schiller production, as well as subsequent changes in later productions. Professor Knowlson worked closely with Beckett over these revisions - and deviations from the original are noted and explained in detail.

This volume completes the publication of this series of notebooks, the plays in question being Play, Come and Go, Eh Joe, Footfalls, That Time and What Where. Professor Gontarski brings his own experience as a director to editing this book, which provides a continuing revelation of the playwright's approach to the staging of his work. To these 'shorter plays' Samuel Beckett devoted the same care and attention to the details of textual revision and stagecraft as he did to the full-length works, and this book contains revised texts prepared on the same editorial basis as before.

SAMUEL aprende a ser FANTASMA

SAMUEL aprende a ser FANTASMA

Sergio Andrade

Excis S.a de C.V.
2011
pokkari
Una novela de fantasmas, tremendamente entretenida...y original. Un viaje al verdadero m s all , sin salir de tu habitaci n. Un acto de amor en otra dimensi n. Una entretenida historia de aventuras, de vida, de amor...y de fantasmas. La curiosa y sorprendente relaci n entre dos seres que se aman en distintos planos de la existencia. Ambientada en el s rdido mundo de una c rcel de Brasil, pero llev ndonos de la mano del protagonista a lugares maravillosos y lejanos, SAMUEL APRENDE A SER FANTASMA es la historia de la muerte - y la vida- de Samuel, en contacto con su gran amor (Luisa), pasando por momentos cruciales de la existencia. La magistral narraci n de su autor, Sergio Andrade, nos lleva, entre recuerdos, romance, aventuras, prisi n y fugas, a ese otro mundo, paralelo al nuestro, en que los esp ritus, los viajes astrales, las fuentes de energ a, el "cord n de plata", las percepciones extrasensoriales y mil maravillas m s, son cosas de todos los d as. SAMUEL APRENDE A SER FANTASMA nos introduce a un mundo de fantasmas en que no son necesarios ya m s, mediums o clarividentes, y en que el tomarnos de las manos alrededor de mesas temblequeantes, entre ruidos s bitos teatrales y voces cavernosas de "aparecidos", es cosa del pasado. sta es la sorprendente historia de un hombre (Samuel) que al morir, y por amor a su pareja (Luisa), aprende a ser fantasma. La narraci n de c mo ese hombre llega a entender, despu s de muerto, la importancia del recuerdo, la esencia de las religiones y el principio de la inmortalidad, a lo largo de sus solitarias noches en el m s all . Un singular curso de autoayuda (post mortem ) en que el personaje de la novela nos da no s lo una lecci n de vida, sino -algo aun m s importante para todos nosotros-: una lecci n de muerte, en un viaje por las planicies, monta as y ciudades de nuestro mundo, y entre las estrellas, lunas y planetas del cosmos, por los medios de transporte menos convencionales del mundo occidental -aqu llos que no requieren de autos, gasolina, barcos ni aviones Sergio Andrade, nos ofrece, en su novela SAMUEL APRENDE A SER FANTASMA, un sorprendente, distinto y original enfoque a la idea de la vida m s all de la muerte. Una historia en que el amor hace milagros desde ultratumba, vence los errores del pasado y rompe las cadenas que limitan, atan y apresan a la gente en su paso por la Tierra.Una aventura m s all del tiempo y el espacio...--------------------One of the most compelling ghosts' stories of our time. Andrade succeeds in giving us a completely new approach to the life beyond death eternal questions. Samuel -the main character- gets immediately our sympathy despite his own early death. SAMUEL APRENDE A SER FANTASMA is, perhaps, one of the very few novels in which the central participant dies exactly at the very beginning of the book. From that point on, everything can happens. We find through the pages of Andrade's new novel, many esoteric concepts about the spirits, the way of establishing contact with them, the "astral voyages" -in which the persons can travel to far places by leaving their physical bodies-, and the birth of the religions in manhood mind. One can read the story in many levels: it is a ghosts story, but also a love story, a tale of adventures, "a prison story" -since it takes place inside a brazilian jail-, a"romance" of and among spirits...In this novel, speaking with the dead, flying around the world and to other galaxies, changing the reality from different plans and dimensions of the universe and the existence, are day to day things; everything, without quitting the search of love. That's the ultimate question of Andrade's book: How is it possible to have an actual love relationship with those who live beyond dead?Find here the answer. The old practices of trembling tables and holding hands are, in Andrade's masterpiece, things from the past.
