Описание:
The most sophisticated and daring poetic ironist of the early Roman Empire, Publius Ovidius Naso, is perhaps best known for his oft-imitated Metamorphoses. But the Roman poet also wrote lively and lewd verse on the subjects of love, sex, marriage, and adultery—a playful parody of the earnest erotic poetry traditions established by his literary ancestors. The Amores, Ovid's first completed book of poetry, explores the conventional mode of erotic elegy with some subversive and silly twists: the poetic narrator sets up a lyrical altar to an unattainable woman only to knock it down by poking fun at her imperfections. Ars Amatoria takes the form of didactic verse in which a purportedly mature and experienced narrator instructs men and women alike on how to best play their hands at the long con of love. Ovid's Erotic Poems offers a modern English translation of the Amores and Ars Amatoria that retains the irreverent wit and verve of the original. Award-winning poet Len Krisak captures the music of Ovid's richly textured Latin meters through rhyming couplets that render the verse as playful and agile as it was meant to be. Sophisticated, satirical, and wildly self-referential, Ovid's Erotic Poems is not just a wickedly funny send-up of romantic and sexual mores but also a sharp critique of literary technique and poetic convention.
Something's not right. All around us, society seems to be sinking into decay, and we don't recognize, let alone even know, the people living right next door to us. The media sells illusory progress with the latest gadgets and fads, and for all the talk of "social justice," there's scant justice to be had. Alienation, violence, dereliction, and despair fester as the wounds turn septic, and the people are literally sick to death.
The "nameless" system of neo-liberalism is the worst of both worlds: a government willing to "play God", going so far as to generate an entirely new population amenable to their designs - a global population of rootless producers and consumers - and an oligarchic set of international bankers and businessmen who've seen to it that the game is rigged in their favor. This is a system of irreconcilable contradictions, one that peddles "equality" but produces the greatest material disparity. It peddles "liberty" while crushing all dissent. It celebrates "diversity" but is soul-crushingly uniform. Its illusory "progress" looks more like a medieval fiefdom than the always just-out-of-reach utopia the charlatans promise is just around the corner with one more concession, always more until there's nothing left.
'The God That Failed' will drag the hideous "nameless" system into the light and expose its hypocrisy, lies, and destruction.
