The first English-language publication of one of the greatest Polish science fiction novels of all time His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the sixteenth century. Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 15. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. Between 15 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of the playing company the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. Scholars believe that he died on his fifty-second birthday, coinciding with St George’s Day.Īt the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who bore him three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. His plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "The Bard"). William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. ( 1:55) “When we blame a man for being ‘a mere animal’, we mean not that he displays animal characteristics (we all do), but that he displays these, and only these, on occasions where the specifically human was demanded. This was later turned into a larger book with more detail (with quite different examples), which you can find here: … You can purchase Lewis’ original radio broadcasts here: … You can find my transcript of this talk here, as it is not available on the web for some reason: … The second talk begins at 11:00, if you need smaller, bite-sized pieces. I believe the first two talks addressed ‘Storge’. Originally ‘The Four Loves’ series was recorded by Lewis in London in 1957, prepared as 10 talks to air on the ‘Protestant Hour’ on American radio. This is an illustration of C.S Lewis’ talk about the first of the four loves – ‘Storge’ or ‘Affection’. No duke shall live to see his heir's birth. It's terribly unfortunate he's not looking to marry, given the centuries-old curse that left his family with the Spinster House to begin with. With her wit, independent spirit, and not least of all her beauty, Marcus can't help but be stirred by Cat. But first she must make arrangements with her prospective landlord, Marcus, the Duke of Hart-the most handsome man she's ever seen, and the only man who's ever impressed her in the least. So when Cat hears that the town's infamous Spinster House is open for a new resident, she jumps at the chance to put all this marriage business behind her. Miss Isabelle Catherine Hutting would rather be lounging in the library than circling the ballroom in search of a husband any day. "Welcome to the charming, fatefully named village of Loves Bridge, where a woman destined for spinsterhood can live a life of her own choosing-or fall unexpectedly, madly in love. Sapolsky has two mantras running through his 700 pages-“context, context, context” and “it’s complicated.” From whatever starting point, he then peels outwards and backwards. Touching can lead down a dark road and pulling the trigger may be in defence of the helpless. Make no assumptions about which is the good deed. It starts with any human moment, good or bad-touching another’s arm or pulling a trigger. His latest book is Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst, a masterful synthesis of current scientific thinking on the biological roots of our behaviour. Along the way, he picked up a MacArthur genius award. Now 60, Sapolsky is a cross-appointed professor at Stanford University (biology and neuroscience), and a research associate at the National Museums of Kenya. He’s just one of those people-when he was a kid fascinated with primates he started, at age 13, teaching himself Swahili so he could go to Africa to study them. Robert Sapolsky, who looks like Jerry Garcia would if Jerry Garcia were still alive, is a rock star of neuroscience. Nature is what it is-fascinating,purposeless, beautiful, deadly. Anthony Esolen fills that gap with a version that reproduces-with remarkable faithfulness-the meaning, pace, and tone and even the poetic meter (accentual pentameter) of the original Latin.Ī careful observer of nature, Lucretius writes with an innocent curiosity into how things are put together-from the oceans, lands, and stars to a mound of poppy seeds, from the "applause" of a rooster's wings to the human mind and soul. Until now, there has been no adequate English verse translation of De Rarum Natura. Writing in the waning days of the Roman Republic-as Rome's politics grew individualistic and treacherous, its high-life wanton, its piety introspective and morbid-Lucretius sets forth a rational and materialistic view of the world which offers a retreat into a quiet community of wisdom and friendship. What does survive is a masterful poetic work that stands as the greatest exposition of Epicurean philosophy. Little is known about Titus Lucretius Carus, except that he lived in the early first century B.C. Reckford, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Esolen's verse translation is clear and forceful. His diction is poetic and natural he has a fine ear for sound, and the translation benefits greatly from being read aloud-as Latin poetry was meant to be. "Anthony Esolen has the rare gift of being both a fine poet and a lover of languages. |
