Cesare Zavattini: Selected Writings
Volume 1 makes available for the first time in English thirty-nine scenarios and two treatments. Each text is preceded by an introduction, providing an essential frame of reference to make these writings entirely accessible to the reader. While nearly all these texts belong to the post-war period, including the stories for major post-war classics, there are also seven pre-war raccontini, the narrative source of Zavattini⠙s Modernist magical realism, several fictional interviews and faux reportage, tinged with irony aimed at Hollywood, complemented by several pre-war scenarios. The book also features scenarios for Luchino Visconti⠙s Bellissima, Alessandro Blasetti⠙s First Communion, De Sica⠙s The Roof and texts encompassing Zavattini⠙s ethnographic vision, from the redactions of Italia mia, interviews for Un paese, illustrated with Paul Strand⠙s photographs, to the scenarios for investigative documentaries, including Why?, The Mysteries of Rome, The Guinea Pig, the Free Newsreel Revolution, and the lucid Before, During After, tackling Aldo Moro⠙s assassination by the Red Brigades.

(1979), comprising Zavattini⠙s major essays, conference papers, unpublished production papers, interviews, and vital excerpts from his correspondence and published cinematic diary. Through translation and detailed cultural and contextual commentary, translator and editor David Brancaleone traces not only Zavattini⠙s theory of the screen, but also his experimentation in new film practices, including the flash-film (film lampo), the inquiry film (film inchiesta), cinema as encounter (cinema d incontro), the diary film (film diario), the confessional film (film-confessione), and the grass-roots community film (cinema insieme or cinema di tanti per tanti).Each text is preceded by an introduction, providing an essential frame of reference to make these writings entirely accessible to the reader.

Já a obranné mechanismy - Anna Freud
Kniha Já a obranné mechanismy patří ke klasickým, základním psychoanalytickým textům. Anna Freud, dcera Sigmunda Freuda, zde zřetelně ukazuje, že psychoanalýza se nezabývá výhradně lidským nevědomím. Dokládá, že ve skutečnosti bylo vždy předmětem zájmu psychoanalýzy Já a jeho poruchy – přičemž zabývání se nevědomím sloužilo obnově Já a jeho funkcí. Autorka se v této knize věnuje specifickému problému – prostředkům, kterými se Já brání nelibým stavům a úzkosti a pokouší se zvládat impulzivní jednání, afekty a pudové nároky.Anna Freud (1895–1982) byla rakousko-uhersko-britská psychoanalytička židovského původu, dcera zakladatele psychoanalýzy Sigmunda Freuda. Je zakladatelkou egopsychologie a dětské psychoanalýzy. Jejím nejvýznamnějším konceptem jsou obranné mechanismy Ega a systém paralelních vývojových linií. Věnovala se též problému puberty a adolescence. Patří do stovky nejcitovanějších psychologů 20. století.

Selected Writings on Art and Literature - Charles-Pierre Baudelaire
Before publishing the sensuous and scandalous poems of Les Fleurs du Mal, Charles Baudelaire (1821-67) had already earned respect as a forthright and witty critic of art and literature. This stimulating selection of criticism reveals him as a worshipper at the altar of beauty, illuminating his belief that the pursuit of this ideal must be paramount in artistic expression. Reviews of exhibitions discuss works by great painters such as Delacroix and Ingres in fascinating detail, and Of Virtuous Plays and Novels sees Baudelaire as an avenging angel in defence of true art. Writings on Poe, Flaubert and Gautier evoke a profound understanding of fellow artists, while his single excursion into musical criticism, Richard Wagner and Tannhäuser in Paris , displays an incisive awareness of the magical power of suggestion in music.

Selected Writings - Thomas Aquinas
In his reflections on Christianity, Saint Thomas Aquinas forged a unique synthesis of ancient philosophy and medieval theology. Preoccupied with the relationship between faith and reason, he was influenced both by Aristotle s rational world view and by the powerful belief that wisdom and truth can ultimately only be reached through divine revelation. Thomas s writings, which contain highly influential statements of fundamental Christian doctrine, as well as observations on topics as diverse as political science, anti-Semitism and heresy, demonstrate the great range of his intellect and place him firmly among the greatest medieval philosophers.

The Selected Writings of Jan Patocka - Jan Patočka
Jan Patockaâ ™s contribution to phenomenology and the philosophy of history mean that he is considered one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century. Yet, his writing is not widely available in English and the Anglophone world remains rather unfamiliar with his work. In this new book of essential Patocka texts, of which the majority have been translated from the original Czech for the first time, readers will experience a general introduction to the key tenets of his philosophy. This includes his thoughts on the relationship between philosophy and political engagement which strike at the heart of contemporary debates about freedom, political participation and responsibility and a truly pressing issue for modern Europe, what exactly constitutes a European identity? In this important collection, Patocka provides an original vision of the relationship between self, world, and history that will benefit students, philosophers and those who are interested in the ideals that underpin our democracies.

Selected Writings - Rene Magritte
Available for the first time in an English translation, this selection gives non-Francophone readers the chance to encounter the many incarnations of renowned Belgian painter René Magritte ⠓ the artist, the man, the aspiring noirist, the fire-breathing theorist ⠓ in his own words. Through whimsical personal letters, biting apologia, appreciations of fellow artists, pugnacious interviews, farcical film scripts, prose poems, manifestos and much more, a new Magritte emerges: part Surrealist, part literalist, part celebrity, part rascal.While this book is bound to appeal to admirers of Magritte⠙s art and those who are curious about his personal life, there is also much to delight all readers interested in the history and theory of art, philosophy and politics, as well as lovers of creativity and the inner workings of a probing, inquisitive mind unrestricted by genre, medium or fashion.

Major Political Writings - George Bernard Shaw
A new collection of Shaw s major political writings presents an opportunity to reflect on his influential role as a public intellectual. At the forefront of economic and political debate from the 1880s to the 1950s, George Bernard Shaw was once the most widely read socialist writer in the English language, and his lifelong crusade against inequality and exploitation is far from irrelevant today. The thorough interpenetration of Shaw s literary and political engagements is an unusual story in modern literature, and this volume offers a portrait of Shaw as a political artist in the purest possible sense: that is, as a writer of essays, articles, pamphlets, and books with explicitly and expressly political aims. The selected writings in this volume showcase Shaw s most influential and most accomplished political work, but also provide a cross-section that is representative of the whole of his long career. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Selected Poems - Zbigniew Herbert
Published for the centenary of his birth, a gathering of lucid, intensely lyrical poetry from one of the twentieth century’s pre-eminent literary voicesbe courageous when reason fails you be courageousin the final reckoning it is the only thing that countsZbigniew Herbert was one of the best-known and most-translated poets of post-war Poland, opposed alike to Communism, Fascism, nationalism and the Church, yet moved, throughout his work, by ‘a powerful sense of right and wrong without a corresponding belief in a system’ (New York Times).His is a poetry of compression, lucidity and profound humanity. The universe he conjures is deeply informed not only by his own time, but by history – by that of the Medieval Mediterranean and Central Europe, as much as of the Classical world – and by a taste for historical and philosophical paradox. In the early and middle works, the figure of the trickster never seems far from view. Throughout, Herbert asks questions about the nature and needs of sentient beings. His desire, always, is to ‘touch the essence’: to get to the heart of life.Selected with an introduction and afterword by J. M. Coetzee and Alissa Valles, this outstanding gathering from the full range of Herbert’s poetic output invites readers to experience the beauty and profundity of a remarkable body of work.

The Future of an Illusion - Sigmund Freud
In The Future of an Illusion, Freudâ ™s psychoanalysis of religion is the culmination of a lifelong thought pattern that started in the early eighteenth century. Freud examines human nature and the role of religion in society, proclaiming that human instincts are destructive to civilization and must be restrained to maintain an orderly society. Religion, viewed as a set of false beliefs based on human desires, manifests as a God-like father figure to a helpless child, whose survival is dependent upon delusional beliefs for independence, security, and incentives for good behavior. Declaring religion and science as mortal enemies, Freud concludes that civilization can only be redeemed through new constructions of existence and ideas motivated by science.

Selected Philosophical Writings - Thomas Aquinas
St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) saw religion as part of the natural human propensity to worship. His ability to recognize the naturalness of this phenomenon and simultaneously to go beyond it, to explore spiritual revelation, makes his work fresh and highly readable today.While drawing on a strong distinction between theology and philosophy, Aquinas interleaved them intricately in his writings, which range from an examination of the structures of thought to the concept of God as the end of all things.This accessible new translation chooses substantial passages not only from the indispensable Summa Theologicae, but from many other works, fully illustrating the breadth and progression of Aquinas s philosophy.

Part of the bestselling Capstone Classics Series edited by Tom Butler-Bowdon, this collectible, hard-back edition of The Interpretation of Dreams provides an accessible and insightful edition of this important work of psychology Sigmund Freud s The Interpretation of Dreams introduced his ground-breaking theory of the unconscious and explored how interpreting dreams can reveal the true nature of humanity. Regarded as Freud s most significant work, this classic text helped establish the discipline of psychology and is the foundational work in the field of psychoanalysis. Highly readable and engaging, the book both provides a semi-autobiographical look into Freud⠙s personal life ⠓ his holidays in the Alps, spending time with his children, interacting with friends and colleagues ⠓ and delves into descriptions and analyses of the dreams themselves. Freud begins with a review of literature on dreams written by a broad range of ancient and contemporary figures ⠓ concluding that science has learned little of the nature of dreams in the past several thousand years. Although the prevailing view was that dreams were merely responses to ⠘sensory excitation,⠙ Freud felt that the multifaceted dimensions of dreams could not be attributed solely to physical causes. By the time Freud began writing the book he had interpreted over a thousand dreams of people with psychoses and recognised the connection between the content of dreams and a person⠙s mental health. Among his conclusions were that a person⠙s dreams: Prefer using recent impressions, yet also have access to early childhood memoriesUnify different people, places, events and sensations into one storyUsually focus on small or unnoticed things rather than major eventsAre almost always ⠘wish fulfilments⠙ which are about the selfHave many layers of meaning which are often condensed into a single image The Interpretation of Dreams: The Psychology Classic is as riveting today as it was over a century ago. Anyone with interest in the workings of the unconscious mind will find this book an invaluable source of original insights and foundational scientific concepts. This edition includes an insightful Introduction by Sarah Tomley, a psychology writer and practicing psychotherapist. Tomley considers paints a picture of Freud s life and times, reveals the place of The Interpretation of Dreams in the context of Freud s other writings, and draws out the key points of the work.

Radical Freud - Thomas Olver
Radical Freud reveals a radical dimension to Sigmund Freud s sexual theory that has previously been neglected.Thomas Olver argues that Freud s radical heritage has been transformed into an orthodox school with an internal stasis that is unassailable from within but increasingly challenged from without as irrelevant. Olver offers a return to the radical elements of Freud s work, first by reviewing the ways in which Freud s pioneering sexual theory has been vulgarised since his death, and by recentring his texts. The bisexuality thesis is then reconstructed, based on a close reading of key texts, and contrasted with the better-known Oedipus theory. Olver then explores the philosophical and clinical consequences of this parallel line of sexual theory.Radical Freud will be of great interest to psychoanalysts as well as to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, gender and queer studies, sociology, anthropology, history and philosophy.

Adam Phillips s marvellous selection provides an ideal overview of Freud s thought in all its extraordinary ambition and variety. Psychoanalysis may be known as the talking cure , yet it is also and profoundly, a way of reading. Here we can see Freud s writings as readings and listenings, deciphering the secrets of the mind, finding words for desires that have never found expression.

Through Clouds of Smoke: Freud
The aging Sigmund Freud reflects upon the torments of age, the mouth cancer he suffers due to his cigar addiction, and the rise of Nazism.In 1923, Sigmund Freud, 67 years old and an inveterate cigar smoker, discovers that he has mouth cancer, a truth long hidden from him by doctors. Despite his diagnosis, Freud survived 15 more years, convinced the cigars that were slowly destroying him increased his productivity and gave him control over himself. At the same time, a different sort of cancer was consuming Europe. In 1933, Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany, annexing Freud s home country of Austria five years later. His books burning upon fascist pyres and his peers concerned for his life, Freud had no choice but to leave Vienna for London, his final home. With accuracy and sobriety, Suzanne Leclair and William Roy reveal a raw and nuanced portrait of the father of psychoanalysis in his last days. Here, the controversial figure is shown in all his contradictions and weakness, a reflection of our own fears and trials in facing age and death.

Krysí muž a Vlčí muž - Sigmund Freud
Významnou součástí Freudovy práce, s jejíž pomocí si ujasňoval své základní teorie, byly popisy jeho klinických případů – kazuistiky jeho pacientů. Ty představují fascinující možnost podívat se na to, jak probíhala Freudova každodenní sezení. V předkládaném výboru představujeme kazuistiky Krysího muže a Vlčího muže. Krysí muž shrnuje jeden z prvních popisů celé psychoanalytické léčby, klinické detaily i vnitřní svět pacienta. Ilustruje konflikt mezi touhou po lásce otce a zápasem s ním, mezi láskou a nenávistí a přemístění nenávistných pocitů do nutkavých příznaků. Naproti tomu Vlčí muž osvětluje záhadu psychosexuality, obsahující fantazie kastrace, primární scény a svedení. Freud v této kazuistice předkládá myšlenku zpětného přepracování traumatické zkušenosti, dodatečného proměňování vzpomínek a fantazií. Kazuistika Krysího muže je doplněna o rozsáhlé Freudovy poznámky, které si dělal bezprostředně po každém sezení. Ty se našly v jeho pozůstalosti a nebyly dosud česky publikovány. Jsou ale skvělým dokladem toho, jak Freud klinicky pozoroval a přemýšlel. Při četbě Freudových případových studií se ukazuje nejen to, že Freud byl schopen mistrovsky analyzovat lidské nitro a promluvit o vytěsněných stránkách lidské duše, ale i to, že jeho výpovědi mají vysokou literární úroveň.Sigmund Freud (1856–1939), vídeňský neurolog a psychoterapeut, zakladatel psychoanalýzy. Narodil se v moravském Příboru v židovské rodině, během jeho raného dětství se rodina přestěhovala do Vídně. Zemřel v londýnské emigraci, kam se uchýlil před nastupujícím nacismem.Vytvořil psychoterapeutickou metodu založenou na pacientových volných asociacích, navázání přenosového vztahu s analytikem a interpretaci snů. Vymyslel či rozvinul řadu pojmů, mezi něž patří libido, stadia psychosexuálního vývoje (orální, anální, falické, genitální), oidipovský komplex, předvědomí, nevědomí a vědomí (topografický model psychiky), id, ego a superego (strukturální model psychiky), narcismus, pud smrti a pud života. Hluboce ovlivnil řadu psychologických, filozofických i antropologických teorií. Stal se třetí nejcitovanější osobou v psychologii 20. století.

Přednášky k úvodu do psychoanalýzy - Sigmund Freud
Freud nikdy nenapsal skutečnou učebnici psychoanalýzy. A tak se tomuto účelu nejvíc blíží jeho přednášky. Jejich první řadu přednesl mezi lety 1915 a 1917 v posluchárně Vídeňské psychiatrické kliniky tak, aby je pochopili i posluchači bez hlubšího psychiatrického vzdělání. Jeho způsob podání je živý a projevuje se v něm Freudova schopnost didaktického myšlení. Stavba přednášek vychází z toho, co je každému bezprostředně známo z vlastních prožitků. Tématem jsou tři klasické oblasti psychoanalytického zkoumání: chybné úkony, sny a neurotické symptomy. Přednášky jsou skvělým přehledem poznatků tzv. překladatelského období psychoanalýzy. Freud na tento projekt navázal v Nové řadě přednášek k úvodu do psychoanalýzy z roku 1933, ačkoli tato řada už nikdy před posluchači přednesena nebyla. Freud zde své poznatky reviduje a doplňuje a představuje mimo jiné strukturální model psychiky.Jedná se o nejpřekládanější Freudovo dílo, které dodnes patří k povinným textům všech výukových psychoanalytických institutů – o ideální úvod k poznání psychoanalýzy, jak jej může podat jen jeho tvůrce sám.Sigmund Freud (1856–1939), vídeňský neurolog a psychoterapeut, zakladatel psychoanalýzy.

The Interpretation of Dreams - Sigmund Freud
Translated by A.A. Brill With an Introduction by Stephen Wilson.Sigmund Freud s audacious masterpiece, The Interpretation of Dreams, has never ceased to stimulate controversy since its publication in 1900.Freud is acknowledged as the founder of psychoanalysis, the key to unlocking the human mind, a task which has become essential to man s survival in the twentieth century, as science and technology have rushed ahead of our ability to cope with their consequences.Freud saw that man is at war with himself and often unable to tolerate too much reality. He propounded the theory that dreams are the contraband representations of the beast within man, smuggled into awareness during sleep. In Freudian interpretation, the analysis of dreams is the key to unlocking the secrets of the unconscious mind.

Confessions of an English Opium-Eater and Other Writings - Thomas de Quincey
I took it: - and in an hour, oh! Heavens! what a revulsion! what an upheaving, from its lowest depths, of the inner spirit! what an apocalypse of the world within me! Thomas De Quincey s Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821) launched a fascination with drug use and abuse that has continued from his day to ours. In the Confessions De Quincey invents recreational drug taking, but he also details both the lurid nightmares that beset him in the depths of his addiction as well as his humiliatingly futile attempts to renounce the drug. Suspiria de Profundis centres on the deep afflictions of De Quincey s childhood, and examines the powerful and often paradoxical relationship between drugs and human creativity. In The English Mail-Coach , the tragedies of De Quincey s past are played out with horrifying repetitiveness against a backdrop of Britain as a Protestant and an imperial power.This edition presents De Quincey s finest essays in impassioned autobiography, together with three appendices that are highlighted by a wealth of manuscript material related to the three main texts.

Neznámé jezero: Mezi Proustem a Freudem (978-80-7564-054-3)
Kniha - autor Jean-Yves Tadié, 224 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Kniha Jeana-Yvese Tadiého je určitým inventářem myšlenek Marcela Prousta a Sigmunda Freuda. Autor nachází paralely v jejich názorech na spánek, sny, paměť, dětství, homosexualitu, lásku, žárlivost, smutek i smrt. Jean-Yves Tadié, přední odborník na dílo Marcela Prousta a pozorný čtenář Sigmunda Freuda, porovnává ve svém textu inteligence dvou výjimečných mužů a jejich postoje k okolnímu světu. Freud i Proust byli, každý svým vlastním způsobem, průzkumníky, kteří se snažili proniknout hlouběji do lidské psychiky. Jeden prostřednictvím nevědomí a psychoanalýzy, druhý v souvislostech s pamětí, z níž se vynořují obrazy koloběhu života, jež nám pomáhají pochopit sama sebe i situace, v nichž se ocitáme. Ačkoli současníci, Freud a Proust se nikdy nesetkali, nestudovali vzájemně svou práci, ale zdá se, že sledovali paralelní cesty ve výzkumu hloubek a jemností lidské mysli. Akademik,...

Výklad snů - Sigmund Freud
Výklad snů (v německém originále Die Traumdeutung) je kniha zakladatele psychoanalýzy Sigmunda Freuda. Výklad snů patří k nejznámějším Freudovým knihám. Poprvé vyšla roku 1899 v nakladatelství Franz Deuticke. Nakladatel nicméně knihu plánoval na rok 1900, a proto je v prvním vydání uvedeno právě toto vročení. S distribucí však začal již na konci roku 1899. Kniha je považována za klíčový Freudův spis, neboť kromě popisu techniky výkladu snu obsahuje i definici pojmů vědomí a nevědomí (v pozdějších vydáních poté ještě předvědomí) a také tzv. Oidipovského komplexu. Freud v knize analyzuje především své vlastní sny a Výklad snů je tak jedním z klíčových informačních zdrojů Freudových životopisců, jiné možné zdroje Freud systematicky ničil.

Nová řada přednášek k úvodu do psychoanalýzy - Sigmund Freud
Mezi Freudovy nejslavnější knihy patří Přednášky k úvodu do psychoanalýzy, jejichž první řadu přednesl mezi lety 1915 a 1917 v posluchárně Vídeňské psychiatrické kliniky. Jeho cílem byla srozumitelnost při výkladu základních psychoanalytických pojmů a jevů. Freud na tento projekt navázal v Nové řadě přednášek k úvodu do psychoanalýzy z roku 1933, ačkoli tato řada už nikdy před posluchači přednesena nebyla. Freud zde své poznatky (např. nauku o snech či téma ženskosti) reviduje a doplňuje a představuje mimo jiné strukturální model psychiky (id, ego, superego). Tím završuje své učení.Freudovy přednášky dodnes patří k základním psychoanalytickým textům z pera samotného tvůrce tohoto směru.

Civilization and Its Discontents - Sigmund Freud
In what remains one of his most seminal papers, Freud considers the incompatibility of civilisation and individual happiness, and the tensions between the claims of society and the individual. We all know that living in civilised groups means sacrificing a degree of personal interest, but couldn t you argue that it in fact creates the conditions for our happiness? Freud explores the arguments and counter-arguments surrounding this proposition, focusing on what he perceives to be one of society s greatest dangers; civilised sexual morality. After all, doesn t repression of sexuality deeply affect people and compromise their chances of happiness?

The Unconscious - Sigmund Freud
One of Freud s central achievements was to demonstrate how unacceptable thoughts and feelings are repressed into the unconscious, from where they continue to exert a decisive influence over our lives.This volume contains a key statement about evidence for the unconscious, and how it works, as well as major essays on all the fundamentals of mental functioning. Freud explores how we are torn between the pleasure principle and the reality principle, how we often find ways both to express and to deny what we most fear, and why certain men need fetishes for their sexual satisfaction. His study of our most basic drives, and how they are transformed, brilliantly illuminates the nature of sadism, masochism, exhibitionism and voyeurism.

Mass Psychology - Sigmund Freud
Freud s religious unbeliefs are too easily dismissed as the standard scientific rationalism of the twentieth-century intellectual, yet he scorned the high-minded humanism of his contemporaries. In Mass Psychology and Analysis of the I he explores the notion of mass-psychology - his findings would prove all too prophetic in the years that followed. Writings such as A Religious Experience and The Future of an Illusion continue earlier work on the essential savagery of the civilized mind, and Moses the Man and Monotheistic Religion excavates the roots of religion and racism, which he concludes are inextricably intertwined.This remarkable collection reveals Freud not only at his most radically pessimistic, but also at his most personally courageous - engaging with his own adherences, his own antecedents, his own identity.

Selected Poems: Donne - John Donne
Showcasing the creative power of one of the most outstanding English Metaphysical Poets, the Penguin Classics edition of John Donne s Selected Poems includes an introduction and notes by Ilona Bell.Regarded by many as the greatest of the Metaphysical poets, John Donne was also among the most intriguing figures of the Renaissance. A sensualist who composed erotic and playful love poetry in his youth, he was raised a Catholic but later became one of the most admired Protestant preachers of his time. The Selected Poems reflects this wide diversity, and includes his youthful Songs and Sonnets, epigrams, elegies, letters, satires, and the profoundly moving Divine Poems composed towards the end of his life. From joyful poems such as The Flea , which transforms the image of a louse into something marvellous, to the intimate and intense Holy Sonnets, Donne breathed new vigour into poetry by drawing lucid and often startling metaphors from the world in which he lived. His poems remain among the most passionate, profound and spiritual in the English language.Ilona Bell s introduction considers Donne s life, faith and influence. This edition also includes detailed notes and a further reading list.John Donne (1572-1631) was born into a family of devout Catholics. He studied at Oxford University, travelled on the continent, and then studied law at Lincoln s Inn. In the early 1600s Donne became a Member of Parliament and Justice of the Peace, obtaining temporary positions and patronage from a number of aristocrats who are the subjects of his poems. He was ordained as an Anglican minister in 1615, and in 1621 was made Dean of St. Paul s Cathedral, a position he held until his death.If you enjoyed Donne s Selected Poems, you might enjoy John Milton s Paradise Lost, also available in Penguin Classics.

Teenage Writings - Jane Austenová
Jane Austen practising Virginia WoolfThree notebooks of Jane Austen s teenage writings survive. The earliest pieces probably date from 1786 or 1787, around the time that Jane, aged 11 or 12, and her older sister and collaborator Cassandra left school. By this point Austen was already an indiscriminate and precocious reader, devouring pulp fiction and classic literature alike; what she read, she soon began to imitate and parody.Unlike many teenage writings then and now, these are not secret or agonized confessions entrusted to a private journal and for the writer s eyes alone. Rather, they are stories to be shared and admired by a named audience of family and friends. Devices and themes which appear subtly in Austen s later fiction run riot openly and exuberantly across the teenage page. Drunkenness, brawling, sexual misdemeanour, theft, and even murder prevail.

A Modest Proposal and Other Writings - Jonathan Swift
The Penguin Classics edition of Jonathan Swift s savagely satirical A Modest Proposal and Other Writings is edited with an introduction and notes by Carol Fabricant.To ease poverty in Ireland by eating the children of the poor was the satirical solution suggested by Jonathan Swift in his essay A Modest Proposal (1729). Here Swift unleashes the full power of his ironic armoury and corrosive wit, finding his targets - the British ruling class and avaricious landlords, and the brutalized Irish, complicit in their own oppression - with deadly precision. His masterly essay is accompanied by a generous selection of prose works, among them pamphlets attacking British rule in his native Ireland, periodical essays critiquing the new capitalist and military classes, a journal detailing his political activities in London, a loving tribute to his beloved Stella after her death and pieces on such diverse subjects as the absurdities of astrology, the joys of punning and comical rules for servants. Ingenious and unconventional, Swift is revealed here as one of the greatest satirists in the English language.In her introduction to this new edition, Carol Fabricant discusses Swift s life and turbulent times, his political views and his powers as a writer of complex irony and intricate word play. This volume also includes a chronology, further reading, a glossary, notes and a biographical dictionary.Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin. Sent to Kilkenny Grammar School when he was six, Swift later attended Trinity College, Dublin, where he received his BA degree in 1686. He is considered the foremost prose satirist in the English language, which stemmed from his criticism of Britain s repressive colonial policies in Ireland. Among Swift s best known works are his ironic masterpiece, A Modest Proposal (1729), and his novel, Gulliver s Travels (1726).If you enjoyed A Modest Proposal, you might like Alexander Pope s The Rape of the Lock and Other Major Writings, also available in Penguin Classics.
