Описание: Troy is familiar to us from the timeless and epic tales of Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid. These have been retold over the centuries by writers from Chaucer to Shakespeare to Madeline Miller and Rick Riordan, and enacted by stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and Brad Pitt. But how much do we really know about the city of Troy; its storytellers, myth, actual location or legacy? In this richly illustrated book, the story of Troy is told through a new lens.
Published to accompany an exhibition at the British Museum, it introduces the storytellers and Classical artists inspired by the myths of Troy, then examines the tales themselves - from the Judgment of Paris to the return of Odysseus - through the Classical objects for which the museum is internationally known. The third section focuses on Heinrich Schliemann's excavations at Hissarlik, introducing the nineteenth-century search for the location of Troy that convinced the world that this city did once exist. Also explored is the possible Bronze Age background for the myth of the Trojan War, the historicity of which remains unresolved today.
The final section delves into the legacy of Troy, and the different ways in which its story has been retold, both in literature and art, from Homer to the present day. Focusing on the major characters - Helen of Troy, Achilles and Hector, Aeneas and Odysseus - it illustrates how artists from Cranach and Rubens to Romare Bearden and Cy Twombly have been inspired by this archetypal tale to reflect on contemporary themes of war and heroism, love and beauty.

Описание: For more than three millennia the myth of Troy has enthralled audiences far beyond the place and time in which the Trojan War is set, with its universal themes of love and loss, violence and destruction, despair and hope. First told through the epic accounts in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and Virgil’s Aeneid, the myth has been retold and reimagined right up to the present day. Great writers, artists and composers have discovered in the stories timeless tales of adventure and archetypes of human character and experience. But how much do we really know about historical Troy beyond the myth?
Published to accompany a major exhibition at the British Museum, this beautifully illustrated book searches for the reality behind the legend. It introduces the storytellers and Classical artists inspired by the original myths, and studies the stories themselves – the Judgment of Paris, the trials of Odysseus and the wanderings of Aeneas. It charts the nineteenth-century search for the location of Troy, assesses the excavations by Frank Calvert and Heinrich Schliemann and explores the possible Bronze Age background for the myth of the Trojan War.
Focusing on the major characters – Helen, Odysseus, Aeneas, Achilles and Hector – the authors examine how artists from Cranach and Rubens to Romare Bearden and Cy Twombly have been inspired by Troy. Classical objects depicting Trojan subjects are included, as well as a wide range of manuscripts, sculptures, paintings and prints. The richness of responses to the myth of Troy and the variety of interpretations – in which each generation, culture or individual discovers new meaning and significance – demonstrates the vitality of this long tradition and reveals its eternal appeal.
Описание: 'Ins and Out of Heaven' - A true story, Jenna's visits to and from Heaven by Jenna Orion Jenna's account of her visits in Heaven, visitors from Heaven, and a visit into the 'core of the Universe' where all knowledge exists. An educational book that brings answers to deep thinkers and inquiring minds who ponder the same age-old questions that Jenna asked of the universe, such as: - How does the cycle of life truly function? - Is there life after death? - Is Heaven a real physical place? - Where is it? - How do we get there? - Will we see our loved ones again who have passed on? Nikola Tesla, a deep thinker with an inquiring mind once said; "My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists." Jenna expands his statement by saying; "Within this core exists all knowledge of everything that is, ever was and ever will be. The truth about our complete cycle of life and the way it functions, along with volumes of additional information are all housed there as well." Jenna was allowed to penetrate that core and witness fascinating, mind-boggling events taking place from the beginning, to the beginning. She was astonished and mesmerized as it all flowed naturally with ease. The details of each element she saw that day in this viewing have now been broken down into segments for easy understanding and are outlined in this book. Jenna has been guided to create this knowledge into book form for the purpose of bringing comfort to those who have failing health and for humanity in general. Life can be more user-friendly and stress free when our true cycle of life and our evolutionary process is fully understood; this in turn will assist civilization in getting back to living life in the manner in which it was originally intended. Here's hoping you enjoy Jenna's adventures as she shares her new-found knowledge gained from visiting the core along with her numerous accounts of visits to and from Heaven. Those residents of Heaven chose to visit Jenna and share information that gives confirmation that Heaven is truly a magical, physical place of joy. You mentally asked some of the same questions as Jenna did; voila, those answers are now available at your fingertips.

Описание: Jenna's Story is a riveting tale about two people caught up in a future world during what are desperate times; it's impregnated with priceless lessons and stories about loyalty, courage, activism, civil disobedience, investing, business, real estate, and above all-love....During her fieldwork one summer at We Camp Montana, a South Carolinian research student, Jenna McConnell, in need of middle school aged children on which to test her theories about active learning meets the camp's founder, a man who cannot remember anything before age 11. She belongs to a group of abolitionists who want to reduce or eliminate the intrusive nature of technology, especially field generators, implanted at an early age at the base of your neck, which spin up the world around you. Her involvement in the abolitionist movement along with her own complicated personal situation take a toll on both her and those closest to her. Finally, she is patient zero in a strange and terrible yet wonderful "plague" that visits the planet, which is somehow related to the mysterious origins of the camp's founder. It divides humans into three groups-lumans, delumans and the unchanged. Her future is resolved in a way that surprises everyone, especially her....

Описание: This new edition of Jenner's classic "Handbook of the Cornish Language" appears more than a century after the book's first publication. Now that the Cornish Revival has weathered many storms, it is well worth making Jenner's ground-breaking work available again, copies of the 1904 edition having become rare and expensive. The book is not a mere facsimile. It contains phonetic tran-scriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), to assist the modern reader in under-standing exactly which sounds Jenner was recommending. It also includes three articles he published between 1873 and 1877, near the begin-ning of his researches into Cornish, reproduced for comparison with the main text from 1904. The orthographic system which Jenner used in 1904 was the culmination of many years of work, but it is important to notice that Jenner was aware three decades earlier of Bell's "Visible Speech," and of Ellis' "Pal otype" and "Glossic." Jenner's familiarity with these pre-cursors of the IPA is significant. It shows him to have had real phonetic training. It places his work in the context of modern linguistics. Jenner's achievement as a linguist was remarkable. Synthe-siz-ing the texts, the description in Lhuyd's "Archaeologia Britannica" (1707), Norris' "Sketch of Cornish Grammar" (1859), Williams' "Lexicon Cornu-Britannicum" (1865), and Jago's "English-Cornish Dictionary" (1882), Jenner sorted it all out: he devised a system which was practical enough to use to begin to revive the lan-guage. He uses an orthography that supports Late Cornish while retaining a connection to the orthographic forms of the Middle Cornish scribal tradition. Jenner's Cornish looks Cornish. His orthography provides a good, clear relationship between sound and spelling without diverging drastically from that of the traditional texts. He used diacritical marks for precision where necessary. His section on grammar is wide-ranging and largely reliable. Jenner appears to regard the differences between Middle and Late Cornish as being more apparent than real; his work is generally free of the unwarranted purism of some later Revivalists. Of particular interest is his belief that it was undesirable to try to reconstruct a "foreign" accent based on "scientific affectation." He recognized that the contact between Cornish and English must have led to similarities in phonology, and held that the sound and intonation of the English spoken in Cornwall should have a proper and positive influence on the pronunciation of Revived Cornish.
