How to Get Over a Breakup: An Ancient Guide to Moving On - Publius Ovidius Naso

A modern translation of the ancient Roman poet Ovid’s Remedies for Love—a witty and irreverent work about how to fall out of loveBreakups are the worst. On one scale devised by psychiatrists, only a spouse’s death was ranked as more stressful than a marital split. Is there any treatment for a breakup? The ancient Roman poet Ovid thought so.Having become famous for teaching the art of seduction in The Art of Love, he then wrote Remedies for Love (Remedia Amoris), which presents thirty-eight frank and witty strategies for coping with unrequited love, falling out of love, ending a relationship, and healing a broken heart. How to Get Over a Breakup presents an unabashedly modern prose translation of Ovid’s lighthearted and provocative work, complete with a lively introduction and the original Latin on facing pages. Ovid’s advice—which he illustrates with ingenious interpretations of classical mythology—ranges from the practical, psychologically astute, and profound to the ironic, deliberately offensive, and bizarre.Some advice is conventional—such as staying busy, not spending time alone, and avoiding places associated with an ex. Some is off-color, such as having sex until you’re sick of it. And some is simply and delightfully weird—such as becoming a lawyer and not eating arugula.Whether his advice is good or bad, entertaining or outrageous, How to Get Over a Breakup reveals an Ovid who sounds startlingly modern.

Sound Bites: The bendy path of classical music from Ancient Greece to today from your favourite ABC Classic presenter of Weekend Breakfast and best -

Ed Le Brocq invites you to come on a journey with him through a living tradition that spans a millennium - the tradition of Western classical music. Have you ever wondered where our music comes from? How did we arrive here, a place where we can have a hundred musicians on stage executing the wildest rhythms, a singer performing the most heartbreaking of melodies, or a solitary pianist playing an instrument that weighs half a tonne? How did the melodies and harmonies we listen to today, right now, come about? Ed Le Brocq invites you on a journey through a living tradition that spans millennia: the tradition of Western classical music. With Ed, you will roam its magnificently bendy path, from the Mesopotamians to the mediaeval age to music composed just last week by Australia s most creative minds. You will discover how notes from the Indus Valley influenced the development of scales by Pythagoras and his mates in Ancient Greece, finding their way through the Romans into church music of the Middle Ages, and why some of those notes were banned. You ll find out how the invention of clocks changed rhythm, how pianos changed society, which composer was afraid of the number thirteen (and why we should be a little afraid of their music) and which composer had two skulls in their grave. This canter through the development of one of humankind s greatest achievements will delight and exhilarate you and have you listening to music with fresh ears.

Kodaňská Píseň písní - Annette Bjergfeldtová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Příběh tří generací a jednoho domu, plný překvapení, radosti i smutku jako život sám… Uměnímilovný syn váženého dánského obchodníka a nespoutaná dcera majitele ruského cirkusu – když k sobě tahle nesourodá dvojice najde cestu, začne se odvíjet poutavá a nadmíru barvitá rodinná sága, v níž se odrážejí bouřlivé evropské dějiny 20. století. Neméně pestré a neobvyklé osudy však dostanou do vínku i další generace rodiny obývající honosnou vilu v Kodani, a tak má hlavní hrdinka Esther rozhodně o čem vyprávět. Třeba o tom, jak její otec, ve válce vyznamenaný cvičitel holubů, našel svou nejkrásnější holubici v letušce, s níž měl posléze tři dcery. Nebo o svých sestrách, geniální vědátorce s podlomeným zdravím a okouzlující pěvkyni se smůlou na chlapy. A taky o vlastním klopýtání mezi úspěchy druhých a pochybování o svém malířském nadání. Život totiž ve skutečnosti není žádná pohádka a zaslouženého štěstí se dočká jen málokdo… Románový debut úspěšné dánské písničkářky se stal záhy bestsellerem a dočkal se mnoha překladů. „Magickorealistické vyprávění přináší svérázné postavy i poznání, že lidská touha po lásce a sebeuplatnění se v čase nemění.“ – Markéta Kliková, iLiteratura.cz. „Pokud potřebujete dobrodružství, lásku a také návod, jak se na svět dívat trochu milosrdnějšíma očima, přečtěte si opojnou, strhující a fantastickou Kodaňskou Píseň písní. Vyprávění se valí, hrne a vine tak, že se člověk musí jednou rukou držet křesla a druhou jen obrací stránky.“ – Femina. „Je naprosto zázračné, jak Annette Bjergfeldtová dokáže podávat vyprávění v barvách, tónech a citech. […] Její románový debut je obdivuhodný a člověk se může jen těšit na další drobné zázraky z jejího pera.“ – Politiken. „Prvotina Annette Bjergfeldtové je ohňostrojem představivosti a překypuje hrátkami se slovy i s větami. […] Úžasný román jiskřící humorem.“ – Sřndag.

The Birth of Classical Europe - Simon Price, Peter Thonemann

The Penguin History of Europe series ... is one of contemporary publishing s great projects New StatesmanTo an extraordinary extent we continue to live in the shadow of the classical world. At every level from languages to calendars to political systems, we are the descendants of a classical Europe , using frames of reference created by ancient Mediterranean cultures.As this consistently fresh and surprising new book makes clear, however, this was no less true for the inhabitants of those classical civilizations themselves, whose myths, history, and buildings were an elaborate engagement with an already old and revered past filled with great leaders and writers, emigrations and battles. Indeed, much of the reason we know so much about the classical past is the obsessive importance it held for so many generations of Greeks and Romans, who interpreted and reinterpreted their changing casts of heroes and villains. Figures such as Alexander the Great and Augustus Caesar loom large in our imaginations today, but they were themselves fascinated by what had preceded them.The Birth of Classical Europe is therefore both an authoritative history, and also a fascinating attempt to show how our own changing values and interests have shaped our feelings about an era which is by some measures very remote but by others startlingly close.

The Classical Style - Charles Rosen

Brilliant and epoch-making. Times Literary SupplementThe Classical Style is an established classic which has remained in print since its first publication in 1971. With his experience as a world-class pianist as well as as teacher at Harvard and Oxford, Charles Rosen produced the definitive survey of the language of the music of the classical period. In the book, Rosen concentrates on the three major figures of the time - Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven - because it is in terms of their achievements that the musical vernacular can best be defined .In this expanded edition, Rosen follows the development of each composer s best known genres: for Haydn, the symphony and string quartet; for Mozart, the concerto, string quintet and comic opera; for Beethoven, the piano sonata. In addition, the author ranges widely through the material of classical music which falls outside these categories. The word masterpiece should be used rarely if at all. But it applies to The Classical Style . . . this book sets new standards for the application of language to music. George Steiner

Ne je moje superschopnost - Annette Lies

Kdybych matce řekla, že na to nemám čas, tak se mnou už v životě nepromluví!Podobná prohlášení důvěrně znají mnozí z nás. Potýkají se s kulturně podmíněným vzorcem chování, kvůli němuž jsou přesvědčeni, že musejí za každých okolností všem vycházet vstříc na úkor vlastních potřeb. To vede k pocitům úzkosti, ztráty identity, k potlačovanému vzteku a někdy i k vyhoření. Kniha odlehčeným, zábavným způsobem pomocí nově vytvořené humorné terminologie uvažuje o příčinách tohoto postoje a nabízí řešení spočívající v různých aspektech respektování vlastních hranic a potřeb. Zabývá se důvody, proč je tak obtížné něco odmítnout, zejména blízkým osobám, tělesnými projevy odmítnutí a spouštěči tohoto rozpoložení. Analyzuje různé druhy „ne“ a jednotlivé oblasti, v nichž je potřeba jednoznačně odmítnout. Jedná se například o vymezení vůči dětem, žadatelům o finanční příspěvek, rodičům, bývalým partnerům, sousedům, přátelům nebo zvířatům. Pojednává také o rizicích a vedlejších účincích odmítnutí a nabízí celou typologii osob, vůči kterým je potřeba si nastavit funkční hranice. Věnuje se též špatnému svědomí po odmítnutí. „Lékárnička odmítání“ v závěrečné části knihy obsahuje: pomoc při rozhodování, vhodné odmítací formulace, jak získat čas, kdy je potřeba zalhat a návod, jak si vést „odmítací deník“ či „vision board“, kde si stanovíme, proti čemu je třeba se vymezit. Každá kapitola je doplněna testy.Annette Lies je původní profesí ekonomka, která později vystudovala dramaturgii. Je autorkou několika úspěšných románů a mnoha scénářů. Žije v Německu.

The Classical Language of Architecture - John Summerson

A revised and updated edition of Sir John Summerson s classic book. Derived from the principles of Greek and Roman architecture in antiquity, the classical style has long dominated the history of western architecture from the Renaissance to the present. Sir John Summersonâ ™s timeless text, as relevant today as it was when first published, distils the visual language of architecture into its core classical elements, and illustrates that building throughout the ages express an awareness of the â ˜grammarâ ™ of style and its rules even if they vary, break or poetically contradict them. From the original edifices of Greece and Rome to the recapitulations and innovations of the Renaissance; the explosive rhetoric of the Baroque to the grave statements of Neo-classicism; and finally, the exuberant eclecticism of the Victorians and Edwardians to the stripped Neo-classicism of some of the moderns; Summerson explains how every period has employed classical language to make their statement. With a new introduction by academic and architectural historian Alan Powers, this introduction continues to be one of the defining texts on the subject and is essential reading for all students of architecture.

Knitting and Felting Slippers - Hoffmeister Karoline, Diepolder Annette, Sabine Abel

The art of felting dates back centuries and is still popular today. Felted pieces are more ridged, longer lasting, and more structured than traditional knit pieces, making the process ideal for creating customized, comfortable slippers. And better yet, they are easy to make because they are knitted in a similar way to socks with large needles and then felted in the washing machine. Authors Sabine Abel, Annette Diepolder, and Karoline Hoffmeister guide you through the process to create 23 charming felt slippers for adults and children with well-detailed techniques, step-by-step instructions, and finishing details including heel seaming and cap heeled slippers. Knitting is quick and the irregularities in the stitch pattern are completely irrelevant as they are no longer visible after felting. Once the slippers have been knitted, the washing machine does the rest of the work. The hot water and agitation cause the fibers to become matted and shrunk to the appropriate size.

Norse Mythology - Finn D. Moore

The Norsemen of old Scandinavia were a tough and hardy people, best known today for their prowess in bloody combat and storytelling. Because they had no writing, the frightening reputation of warriors survives, but Norse mythology -- all storytelling -- is less known. This book documents the Norse myths that were sources of entertainment, comfort and explanations of the universe -- from animals to the seasons to the afterlife. Given that there are no surviving texts, the remaining myths have been changed through hundreds of years of oral tradition. Norse Mythology draws on Prose Edda and Poetic Edda, the two earliest and most faithful recordings of Norse myths. The chapters include: An introduction to Norse history and culture -- Vikings, long ships, and raiding Cyclical time: Runes, the creation of the Cosmos, First Gods Yggdrasil and the Nine Realms The Aesir Gods (Odin, Thor, Loki, Sif, Baldur, Idun) The Vanir Gods (Njord, Freyr, Freyja, The Mighty Thor) The Jotnar (Hela, Skadi, Skoll and Hati) Monsters and other creatures (Dwarves, light elves Sleipnir, Odin s eight-legged horse, Kraken, trolls) Other myths (why is the sea salty?) Ragnarok and the Rebirth of the World. Illustrated in color throughout and accompanied by maps and photos of archaeological treasures, this is a highly entertaining and informative read as the world of entertainment draws more stories from Norse mythology.
