On the heels of his bestselling Soviet Bus Stops, photographer Christopher Herwig locates fresh wonders of the Soviet vernacular in Georgia, Ukraine and Russia itselfAfter the popular and critical success of his first book, Soviet Bus Stops, photographer Christopher Herwig has returned to the former Soviet Union to hunt for more. In this second volume, as well as discovering new stops in the remotest areas of Georgia and Ukraine, Herwig turns his camera to Russia itself. Following exhaustive research, he drove more than 9,000 miles from coast to coast across the largest country in the world, in pursuit of new examples of this singular architectural form.A foreword by renowned architecture and culture critic Owen Hatherley reveals new information on the origins of the Soviet bus stop. Examining the government policy that allowed these small architectural forms to flourish, he explains how they reflected Soviet values, and how ultimately they remained—despite their incredible individuality—far-flung outposts of Soviet ideology.The diversity of architectural approaches is staggering: juxtaposed alongside a slew of audacious modern and brutal designs, there are bus stops shaped as trains, birds, light bulbs, rockets, castles, even a bus stop incorporating a statue of St. George slaying the dragon. An essential companion to the first volume, this book provides a valuable document of these important and unique constructions.

Jacques Derrida explores the ramifications of what we owe to others. Hospitality reproduces a two-year seminar series delivered by Jacques Derrida at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales in Paris between 1995 and 1997. In these lectures, Derrida asks a series of related questions about responsibility and ⠜the foreigner⠝: How do we welcome or turn away the foreigner? What does the idea of the foreigner reveal about kinship and the state, particularly in relation to friendship, citizenship, migration, asylum, assimilation, and xenophobia? Central to his project is a rigorous distinction between conventional, finite hospitality, with its many conditions, and the aspirational idea of hospitality as something offered unconditionally to the stranger. This volume collects the second year of the seminar, which considers an Islamic problematic of hospitality, the relevance of forgiveness, and the work of Emmanuel Levinas.

Meticulous... Probably the most disturbing portrait of Hitler I have ever read Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times By the summer of 1939 Hitler was at the zenith of his power. Yet despite initial triumphs in the early stages of war, the Fuhrer s fortunes would turn dramatically as the conflict raged on. Realising that victory was lost, and with Soviet troops closing in on his Berlin bunker, Hitler committed suicide in April 1945; one week later, Nazi Germany surrendered. His murderous ambitions had not only annihilated his own country, but had cost the lives of millions across Europe. In the final volume of this landmark biography, Volker Ullrich argues that the very qualities - and the defects - that accounted for Hitler s popularity and rise to power were what brought about his ruin. A keen strategist and meticulous military commander, he was also a deeply insecure gambler who could be shaken by the smallest setback, and was quick to blame subordinates for his own disastrous mistakes. Drawing on a wealth of new sources and scholarship, this is the definitive portrait of the man who dragged the world into chaos.

A stunning Penguin clothbound edition of Homer s great epic, in E. V. Rieu s classic translation.The Iliad is the first and the greatest literary achievement of Greek civilization - an epic poem without rival in the literature of the world, and the cornerstone of Western culture. The story centres on the critical events in the last year of the Trojan War, which lead to Achilleus killing of Hektor and determine the fate of Troy. But Homer s theme is not simply war or heroism. With compassion and humanity, he presents a universal and tragic view of the world, of human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death, set against a vast and largely unpitying divine background.. Seven Greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th-7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliadand Odyssey are attributed. The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity - or even the existence - of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived.E. V. Rieu initiated Penguin Classics with Allen Lane and his famous translation of the Odyssey was the first book published in the series in 1947. The Iliad followed in 1950.

Fitzgerald has solved virtually every problem that has plagued translators of Homer. Atlantic Monthly The Iliad is the story of a few days fighting in the tenth year of the legendary war between the Greeks and the Trojans, which broke out when Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, abducted the fabulously beautiful Helen, wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. After a quarrel between the Greek commander, Agamemnon, and the greatest of the Greek warriors, Achilles, the gods become more closely involved in the action. Their intervention leads to the tragic death of Hector, the Trojan leader, and to the final defeat of the Trojans. But the Iliad is much more than a series of battle scenes. It is a work of extraordinary pathos and profundity that concerns itself with issues as fundamental as the meaning of life and death. Even the heroic ethic itself - with its emphasis on pride, honour, prowess in battle, and submission to the inexorable will of the gods - is not left unquestioned.

The Iliad not only paints an intimate picture of individual experience, but also offers a universal perspective in which human loss and suffering are set against a vast and unpitying divine background where fickle, quarrelsome gods decide the fate of men.Translated with an Introduction by Martin Hammond

One of the greatest epics in Western literature, THE ILIAD recounts the story of the Trojan wars. This timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves to its tragic conclusion. In his introduction, Bernard Knox observes that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it co-exists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace.

The story of our ongoing fascination with Homer, the man and the myth. Â Homer, the great poet of the Iliad and the Odyssey, is revered as a cultural icon of antiquity and a figure of lasting influence. But his identity is shrouded in questions about who he was, when he lived, and whether he was an actual person, a myth, or merely a shared idea. Rather than attempting to solve the mystery of this character, James I. Porter explores the sources of Homerâ ™s mystique and their impact since the first recorded mentions of Homer in ancient Greece. Â Homer: The Very Idea considers Homer not as a man, but as a cultural invention nearly as distinctive and important as the poems attributed to him, following the cultural history of an idea and of the obsession that is reborn every time Homer is imagined. Offering novel readings of texts and objects, the book follows the very idea of Homer from his earliest mentions to his most recent imaginings in literature, criticism, philosophy, visual art, and classical archaeology.

Resplendent watercolors of the 19th-century world by New England native Winslow Homer You will see, said American artist Winslow Homer, in the future I will live by my watercolors. From his early forays into pastoral landscapes to his more mature works encompassing the maritime scenes for which he is best known, Homer s watercolors are most remarkable for their reverence of nature and the people who thrive within its conditionsâ ”sketches that are both quaint and sublime in scope. Boasting one of the most significant collections of Homer s watercolors in the United States, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, presents a luminous collection of nearly 50 works that demonstrate the artist s mastery of the medium. Readers will be transported to the rugged Maine coast, the rivers and streams of the Adirondacks, the weathered shores of seaside England and the bright beaches of the Caribbean. The many facets of these environmentsâ ”ecological, artistic, social and economicâ ”are reflected in Homer s thoughtful compositions that, though more than 100 years old, shine with a modern effervescence. Winslow Homer (1836â “1910) was born in Boston and apprenticed to a commercial lithographer. He taught himself painting while working as a freelance illustrator for Harper s and other magazines. In 1883 he moved into his permanent home and studio in Prouts Neck, Maine, but continued to find inspiration in his travels to Canada, Cuba, the Bahamas, Key West and the Adirondacks.

With an Introduction and Notes by Adam Roberts, Royal Holloway, University of London. Homer s great epic describes the many adventures of Odysseus, Greek warrior, as he strives over many years to return to his home island of Ithaca after the Trojan War. His colourful adventures, his endurance, his love for his wife and son have the same power to move and inspire readers today as they did in Archaic Greece, 2800 years ago. This poem has been translated many times over the years, but Chapman s sinewy, gorgeous rendering (1616) stands in a class of its own. Chapman believed himself inspired by the spirit of Homer himself, and matches the breadth and power of the original with a complex and stunning idiom of his own. John Keats expressed his admiration for the resulting work in the famous sonnet, On first looking into Chapman s Homer : Much have I travelled in the realms of gold... This new Wordsworth edition of Chapman s Homer contains accessible annotation, and a detailed introduction that places his masterpiece in the context of his own day, and discusses its influences on later poets.

Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic’s formal qualities – meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance – and in so doing restores to Homer’s masterwork its archaic grandeur.His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer’s verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer’s work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn’s Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.

Audiokniha: Komentář k původnímu LP 0 18 0424 z roku 1968: Přebohatou obrazností plastickou zvládl řecký člověk vzrušení, úžas i tíhu dojmů z tohoto světa a dal mu jméno kosmos, tj. řád. Sám pak vystoupiv nad přírodu tvořivou a dodnes udivující činností mýtotvornou, v níž usiloval pochopit nejen tento svět, ale i sama sebe, silně a úspěšně chtěl soulad s kosmem. Homérova Ilias a Odyssea, nejstarší písemné památky řecké, jsou v tomto smyslu nejen pochopením a výkladem života, ale i svědectvím mocné lásky k němu. Voltaire kdesi napsal, že Homér bude ještě dlouho slavný, protože jej nikdo nečte. Naše ukázky mají ctižádost - ostatně zcela v duchu antické tradice - přispět k tomu, aby byl tedy slyšen! Není ostatně žádným tajemstvím, že vskutku umělecká recitace přispívá podstatně nejen k optimálnímu pochopení verše, ale i k objevování takových složek básnického díla, které jsme předtím při tiché četbě nevnímali. Charakteristickými ukázkami z Iliady a Odysseje chceme dnešním ctitelům antické poezie přiblížit nedostižné vzory starořecké epiky, která se dožila rozkvětu počátkem I. tisíciletí př. n. l. u Aiolů v Malé Asii. Vzrušující a dramatická látka vyrostla ve vzpomínkách na boje o dobytí Troady, krajiny na severním maloasijském pobřeží, z tzv. trojského cyklu, jehož jádrem byla výprava Řeků proti Tróji. Obsahem Iliady jsou děje desátého roku dobývání Tróje. Vůdce Řeků Agamemnón je nucen vydat zajatou Chryseovnu a za to odnímá nejstatečnějšímu hrdinovi před Trójou Achilleovi jeho zajatkyni Briseovnu. Achilleus se rozhněvá a straní se boje. Jeho božská matka Thetis vymůže na Diovi slib, že Trójané budou tak dlouho vítězit, dokud se Achilleovi nedostane zadostiučinění. Teprve když Hektór, nejstatečnější z Trójanů, usmrtil Achilleova přítele Patrokla, Achilleus se opět účastní boje a zabije Hektora a mrtvolu vydá jeho otci Priamovi. S herojskou Iliadou kontrastuje výrazně spíše dobrodružná a pohádková Odyssea, která líčí osudy chytrého a lstivého Odyssea na bludné pouti při návratu do rodné Ithaky. Četní nápadníci Pénelopiny se po dobu Odysseovy nepřítomnosti ucházejí o její přízeň, pustoší dům i majetek Odysseův a nutí Pénelopu ke sňatku. Věrná Pénelopa však pevně věří v Odysseův návrat. Po četných nehodách přistane konečně Odysseus jako trosečník u ostrova Ógygie, kde jej poutala nymfa Kalypsó. S pomocí Faiéků se konečně dostane do vlasti, pobije nápadníky a šťastně se shledá s Pénelopou i se svým otcem Láertem. Obě homérské básně jsou zalidněny obsáhlou galerií individuálních charakterů, z nichž některé se blíží k typům vskutku nadčasovým. S Helenou, která svým půvabem přivodí vlastně válku mezi Řeky a Trójany, kontrastuje výrazně Andromacha, milující a oddaná choť Hektorova. Proti lehkomyslnému krasavci Paridovi statečný hrdina i něžný otec rodiny Hektór, hrdý Agamemnón, nebojácný Aiás, váhavý Meneláos, vznětlivý Diomédés, bystrý a chytrý Odysseus. V Odysseji má Helena neméně ušlechtilý protiklad v Pénelopě, oddané a věrné choti Odysseově. Krásný a statečný Achilleus bude vždycky dojímat krátkostí svého lidského údělu a nevýslovnou láskou k životu. Je pravda, že se tyto charaktery neopakují. Výrazně odlišené charaktery jsou pečlivě individualizovány. Homér tu vlastně uměním svého plastického realismu zachytil dovršující se proces zrození individua uvnitř rodové společnosti. Literární historie však při vší úctě k životnosti homérských charakterů jim vytýká jistou statičnost, nedostatek vnitřního rozvoje. Tato výtka je však podle našeho mínění jistým anachronismem. Ještě Goethe pod vlivem francouzského klasicismu kladl důraz na obecné v člověku; i jeho zajímá povaha jen jako výsledný stav, neví ještě o tom, že charakter se vyvíjí, utváří v činnosti! Nikde nelíčí charakter v procesu jeho vznikání. Charakter je tu spíše plodem přírody. Je to zpravidla převaha jedné složky, která převažuje a ovlivňuje tak daný charakter (Egmont ovlivňuje ostatní láskou, Faust touhou po poznání apod.). Neprávem bývá homérským hrdinům vytýkán nedostatek analýzy vnitřních zážitků. Teprve mnohem později, kdy mýtus již nebyl s to vycházet vstříc rozmanitým obměnám lidského soužení, novodobý román, zvláště psychologický, osamělé hledání vnitřní jistoty, rozvinul k dokonalosti umění introspekce a analýzy zážitků lidského nitra. Je-li oběma básním cizí líčení přírody jako pozadí jednotlivých dějů, básník často sahá k přírodě pro přirovnání vskutku sugestivní. Síla rozumu, statečnost, hrdinství, lidskost, přátelství a láska - to byl svět hodnot hrdinů v obou eposech Hemérových. A nebyl by to lidský úděl, kdyby s tou plností a vášnivostí života nekontrastovala skutečnost smrti. Poslechněte si jen rozmluvu Achilleovu se stínem mrtvého přítele Patrokla. Illias je tedy eposem války, Odyssea míru. Obě básně měly nesmírný význam pro Řeky, působily na jejich poezii i prózu, na umění výtvarné, na vědu, filosofii, na výchovu i na celý národní život Řeků. Pro budoucí věky se staly nedostižným vzorem epiky. Na rozhraní 6. a 5. stol. př. n. l. vznikla e

Román Albert jede domů, inspirovaný životy autorových rodičů, vypráví laskavý, zábavný a dojemný příběh mladého manželského páru, jenž v doprovodu poněkud zarážejícího domácího mazlíčka - aligátora jménem Albert - vyrazí na zdánlivě pošetilou cestu napříč Amerikou třicátých let. Tato cesta se stává barvitou alegorií životní poutě a zároveň s notnou dávkou fantazie vypovídá o onom podivném a zázračném citu zvaném láska. Milostný příběh, který autor nabízí svým čtenářům, je přitom poněkud komplikovanějšího rázu. Oč v něm jde? Když Homer požádá Elsie zčistajasna o ruku, jeho někdejší spolužačka ze střední školy ho rázně odmítne a vydá se do floridského Orlanda, kde se bláznivě zamiluje do tanečníka a herce Buddyho Ebsena. Ten však zakrátko odjede za kariérou do New Yorku; Elsie se tak sklopenou hlavou nakonec vrací do uhelného kraje a provdá se za Homera. Poklidný manželský život v hornickém městečku v Západní Virginii ji však příliš neuspokojuje, a aby toho nebylo málo, bezstarostné dny na Floridě jí každý den připomíná neobvyklý svatební dar od Buddyho: aligátor Albert, kterého Hickhamovi museli ubytovat v jediné koupelně svého dělnického domku. Po čase dochází Homerovi trpělivost a postaví svou ženu před nelehké rozhodnutí - buď půjde z domu on, nebo aligátor. Po zvážení všech možností Elsie usoudí, že mají jen jednu možnost: odvézt Alberta zpátky domů do Orlanda…
