E-booki
Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions illustrated Edwin Abbott Abbott - Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novel. Written pseudonymously by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions. Although it did not achieve popular success on its publication in 1884, Flatland gained a broad audience after the publication of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which focused attention on the concept of a fourth dimension. The book enjoyed another renaissance with the advent of modern science fiction in the late 1930s and is now widely acknowledged as a pioneering work of mathematical fiction.

Choephori Aeschylus - Also known as 'The Libation Bearers' this is the second play of Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy. Many years after king Agamemnon's murder at the hands of his wife Clytamnestra and her lover Aigisthos, his son Orestes returns home with Pylades to mourn at his grave. He has been living in exile and has come back to Argos in secret; his mission is to avenge Agamemnon's death.Orestes arrives at the grave of his father, accompanied by his cousin Pylades, the son of the king of Phocis, where he has grown up in exile; he places two locks of his hair on the tomb. Orestes and Pylades hide as Electra, Orestes' sister, arrives at the grave accompanied by a chorus of elderly slave women (the libation bearers of the title) to pour libations on Agamemnon's grave; they have been sent by Clytemnestra in an effort to ward off harm. Just as the ritual ends, Electra spots a lock of hair on the tomb which she recognizes as similar to her own; subsequently she sees two sets of footprints, one of which has proportions similar to hers. At this point Orestes and Pylades emerge from their hiding place and Orestes gradually convinces her of his identity.

Prometheus Bound Aeschylus - Prometheus Bound is an Ancient Greek tragedy. In antiquity, it was attributed to Aeschylus, but now is considered by some scholars to be the work of another hand, and perhaps one as late as c. 430 BC. Despite these doubts of authorship, the play's designation as Aeschylean has remained conventional. The tragedy is based on the myth of Prometheus, a Titan who defies the gods and gives fire to mankind, acts for which he is subjected to perpetual punishment.The play is composed almost entirely of speeches and contains little action since its protagonist is chained and immobile throughout. At the beginning, Kratos (Authority), Bia (violence), and the smith-god Hephaestus chain the Titan Prometheus to a mountain in the Caucasus, with Hephaestus alone expressing reluctance and pity, and then departing. According to the author, Prometheus is being punished not only for stealing fire, but also for thwarting Zeus's plan to obliterate the human race. This punishment is especially galling since Prometheus was instrumental in Zeus's victory in the Titanomachy.The Oceanids appear and attempt to comfort Prometheus by conversing with him. Prometheus cryptically tells them that he knows of a potential marriage that would lead to Zeus's downfall. A Titan named Oceanus commiserates with Prometheus and urges him to make peace with Zeus. Prometheus tells the chorus that the gift of fire to mankind was not his only benefaction; in the so-called Catalogue of the Arts (447-506), he reveals that he taught men all the civilizing arts, such as writing, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, metallurgy, architecture, and agriculture.Prometheus is then visited by Io, a human maiden pursued by a lustful Zeus; the Olympian transformed Io into a cow, and a gadfly sent by Zeus's wife Hera has chased Io all the way from Argos. Prometheus forecasts Io's future travels, telling her that Zeus will eventually end her torment in Egypt, where she will bear a son named Epaphus. He says one of her descendants (an unnamed Heracles), thirteen generations hence, will release him from his own torment.Finally, Hermes the messenger-god is sent down by the angered Zeus to demand that Prometheus tell him who threatens to overthrow him. Prometheus refuses, and Zeus strikes him with a thunderbolt that plunges Prometheus into the abyss.

Specimens of Greek Tragedy Aeschylus and Sophocles - Aeschylus, Sophocles - "Greek Tragedy" is meticulously edited collection of the most famous plays written by Aeschylus and Sophocles. Aeschylus (525/524 c. 456/455 BC) was an ancient Greek tragedian. He is often described as the father of tragedy. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in theater allowing conflict among them; characters previously had interacted only with the chorus. Sophocles (c. 497/6 406/5 BC) is one of three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays have survived. His first plays were written later than those of Aeschylus, and earlier than or contemporary with those of Euripides. Sophocles wrote over 120 plays. For almost 50 years, Sophocles was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens.

Japanische Märchen Karl Alberti - Aus der Einführung zu »Japanische Märchen« von Karl Alberti.Nicht mit Unrecht wird Japan als das »wunderbare Sonnenland« bezeichnet; denn neben seinen wirklich wunderbaren Naturreizen bieten Kunst und Literatur, ganz besonders die des Altertums, eine schier unerschöpfliche Fundgrube nicht nur für den wissenschaftlichen Forscher sondern auch für den Schöngeist. Gar reich, und nicht hinter der deutschen zurückstehend, ist die japanische Märchenwelt. Es ist dies meines Wissens das erste Werk, das aus dem reichen Märchenschatze Japans der deutschen Jugend eine sorgfältig zusammengestellte Auswahl bietet; mag auch das eine oder andere hier und dort einmal irgendwo veröffentlicht und dadurch bekannt sein, so ist dies doch meistens zerstreut in Zeitungen, Zeitschriften oder wissenschaftlichen Werken in wörtlicher Übersetzung erfolgt und nur für Erwachsene geeignet.Juki-onna Es waren einmal zwei Holzhauer: der eine hieß Nishikaze , dieser war ein älterer Mann, während der andere Teramichi hieß und noch ein Jüngling war. Beide wohnten im gleichen Dorfe und gingen jeden Tag zusammen in den Wald um Holz zu schlagen. Um in den Wald zu gelangen, mußten sie einen großen Fluß passieren, über den eine Fähre eingerichtet war. Als sie eines Tages spät mit ihrer Arbeit fertig waren, wurden sie von einem furchtbaren Schneesturm überrascht; sie eilten zur Fähre, mußten aber zu ihrem großen Schrecken sehen, daß der Fährmann soeben übergesetzt war und sich auf der anderen Seite des reißenden Flusses befand, von der er des rasenden Sturmes wegen vorläufig nicht zurück konnte. Da die Beiden im Freien das Ende des Sturmes nicht abwarten konnten, beschlossen sie in das nahebei befindliche Haus des Fährmanns zu gehen und dort dessen Rückkehr abzuwarten. Gesagt, getan! Im Hause angekommen, warfen sie sich zur Erde, nachdem sie Tür und Fenster wohl verwahrt hatten und lauschten dem Tosen des Sturmes. Der Ältere, ermüdet von des Tages Last und Arbeit, war bald in Schlaf verfallen; aber der Jüngere konnte kein Auge schließen, denn das Heulen, Brausen, Rauschen und Krachen war unheimlich und das Häuschen erzitterte in allen Fugen.Plötzlich gab es einen fürchterlichen Schlag, als wollte der Sturm das Haus zertrümmern, die Tür sprang auf und ein eisiger Wind mit einer riesigen Schneewolke drang herein. Entsetzt starrte Teramichi auf die Wolke, denn diese bewegte sich auf und ab und nahm endlich menschliche Gestalt an, die Gestalt einer Frau in weißem Gewande und wandte sich zu der Stelle, wo Nishikaze schlief; dort beugte sie sich zu dem Schläfer nieder, ihrem Munde entströmte ein weißer Nebel, der sich auf das Gesicht des Mannes ausbreitete, dann richtete sie sich auf und kam auf Teramichi zu, der, unfähig ein Glied zu rühren, die Augen angstvoll weit geöffnet hielt. Dicht vor ihm angekommen neigte sie sich nahe auf sein Gesicht und sah ihn ein Weilchen ruhig an; dann sprach sie leise, ihre Stimme war wie ein Hauch und ihr Gesicht nahm freundlichere Züge an: Deinen Kameraden 6habe ich getötet, wie alles, das in mein Bereich kommt. Auch du solltest sein Los teilen, doch bist du noch kein Mann und hast noch nicht gelebt. Drum sei verschont! Doch diese Schonung wird dir nur so lange Zeit, als du schweigen kannst. Kommt auch nur ein Wort von dem über deine Lippen, was du hier erlebtest, sei es zu wem es wolle, nicht Vater, nicht Mutter, nicht Weib noch Kind, niemand, hörst du, niemand darf erfahren, was hier geschah, so treffe ich dich, wo es auch sei! Denke daran!

Extract: ""Clear the lulla!" was the general cry on a bright December afternoon, when all the boys and girls of Harmony Village were out enjoying the first good snow of the season. Up and down three long coasts they went as fast as legs and sleds could carry them. One smooth path led into the meadow, and here the little folk congregated; one swept across the pond, where skaters were darting about like water-bugs; and the third, from the very top of the steep hill, ended abruptly at a rail fence on the high bank above the road." Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the classic Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist.

Die Göttliche Komödie / Dante Alighieri. - [miejsce nieznane] : Phoemixx Classics Ebooks : Legimi, 2022.

Alighieri Dante. Autor
Form of Work
E-booki
Die Göttliche Komödie Dante Alighieri - Drei Dinge prägten Werk und Leben Dante Alighieris (1265-1321): Seine mittelalterliche Universalbildung beim Enzyklopädisten Bruno Latini, die nach der Verbannung geschürte Haßliebe zu seiner Geburtsstadt Florenz und die entrückende Verehrung der schönen Beatrice Portinari, die sich durch ihren frühen Tod mit 24 Jahren zur Stilisierung nachgerade anempfahl. In den 100 Gesängen seiner im Exil verfassten Göttlichen Komödie (1307-1321) hat der Dichter über sie alle zu Gericht gesessen: Im 26. Höllengesang etwa findet sich eine erbitterte Schmährede auf die Heimatmetropole, und Latini muß bei den Sodomiten schmoren. Die himmlische Geliebte jedoch darf den verschämten Dichter im Paradies empfangen und mit ihm zu den Sternen, Planeten und Trabanten schweben. "Und Beatrice sah mich an voll Glut", heißt es im wundervollen Mondcanto, "die aus den hehren Augen blitzte wider, / Daß meine Kraft, besiegt, verließ der Mut, / Und fast verlor ich mich, die Augen nieder".Am Ende dieser schwindelerregenden Jenseitsreise säumten nahezu 600 Seelen des politischen, literarischen und mythologischen Lebens Dantes Weg, darunter Judas, Odysseus, Petrus und Bernard von Clairvaux. Zuvor aber hatte der Dichter als Figur des eigenen Epos gemeinsam mit seinem Führer, dem römischen Lieblingsdichter Vergil, Hölle (Inferno) und Fegefeuer (Purgato-rio) zu durchwandern: "Dort wirst Du hören der Verzweiflung Pein / Und sehn, wie sich der Vorzeit Geister quälen, / so daß sie nach dem zweiten Tode schrein". Dante hat sich die Architektur des Jenseits mit seinen 27 Stufen trichter- und terrassenförmig vorgestellt, um seinen unausweichlichen Sog zu illustrieren. Aber eigentlich ist der Strudel der Sprache der wahre Held des Buchs, der uns hineinzieht in die 14 233 bedeutendsten Verse der italienischen Literatur, ja in eines der größten Epen der Weltliteratur überhaupt.Goethe fühlte sich nicht wohl im "Moderduft aus Dantes Hölle", und Arno Schmidt gar sah im Inferno des Buchs Konzentrationslagerphantasien literarisch lodern. Die meisten Dichter aber dachten anders, und die Anfangserzählung von Samuell Beckett erster Prosaveröffentlichung Mehr Flügel als Prügel (1934) mit ihrem ironischen Titel Dante und der Hummer beginnt mit einem fesselnden Lektüreerlebnis der direkt dem Purgatorium entstiegenen Hauptfigur: "Es war Vormittag, und Belaqua hatte sich im ersten Mondcanto festgelesen. Bis zum Hals steckte er drin, er konnte weder vor noch zurück". Vor sieben Jahren etwa ging es mir beim Lesen ähnlich.--Thomas Köster

The Divine Comedy - Dante Alighieri / Dante Alighieri. - [miejsce nieznane] : Phoemixx Classics Ebooks : Legimi, 2021.
Author
Alighieri Dante. Autor
Form of Work
E-booki
This first volume of Robert Durling's new translation of The Divine Comedy brings a new power and accuracy to the rendering of Dante's extraordinary vision of Hell, with all its terror, pathos, and humor. Remarkably true to both the letter and spirit of this central work of Western literature, Durling's is a prose translation (the first to appear in twenty-five years), and is thus free of the exigencies of meter and rhyme that hamper recent verse translations. As Durling notes, "the closely literal style is a conscious effort to convey in part the nature of Dante's Italian, notoriously craggy and difficult even for Italians." Rigorously accurate as to meaning, it is both clear and supple, while preserving to an unparalleled degree the order and emphases of Dante's complex syntax.The Durling-Martinez Inferno is also user-friendly. The Italian text, newly edited, is printed on each verso page; the English mirrors it in such a way that readers can easily find themselves in relation to the original terza rima. Designed with the first-time reader of Dante in mind, the volume includes comprehensive notes and textual commentary by Martinez and Durling: both are life-long students of Dante and other medieval writers (their Purgatorio and Paradiso will appear next year). Their introduction is a small masterpiece of its kind in presenting lucidly and concisely the historical and conceptual background of the poem. Sixteen short essays are provided that offer new inquiry into such topics as the autobiographical nature of the poem, Dante's views on homosexuality, and the recurrent, problematic body analogy (Hell has a structure parallel to that of the human body). The extensive notes, containing much new material, explain the historical, literary, and doctrinal references, present what is known about the damned souls Dante meets --from the lovers who spend eternity in the whirlwind of their passion, to Count Ugolino, who perpetually gnaws at his enemy's skull--disentangle the vexed party politics of Guelfs and Ghibellines, illuminate difficult and disputed passages, and shed light on some of Dante's unresolved conflicts.
