Trade Paperback. A new copy. A unique body of medieval literature, the Sagas rank with the world's greatest literary treasures--as epic as Homer, as deep in tragedy as Sophocles, as engagingly human as Shakespeare. Set around the turn of the last millennium, these stories depict with an astonishingly modern realism the lives and deeds of the Norse men and women who first settled Iceland and of their descendants, who ventured further west--to Greenland and, ultimately, the coast of North America itself.The ten Sagas and seven shorter tales in this volume include the celebrated "Vinland Sagas," which recount Leif Eiriksson's pioneering voyage to the New World and contain the oldest descriptions of the North American continent.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 151 pages. Selected lectures from writers' conferences on the art and craft of finding a nd using artistic inspiration feature the works of Jane Smiley, Gary Snyder, Mir oslav Holub, and Mary Clearman Blew Review These fourteen thought-provoked essay s originated as lectures delivered at a variety of writers conferences. In Can M others Think?, Jane Smiley addresses the failure of literature to include mother s and argues that such authors as Toni Morrison, Sue Miller, Alice Walker, and L ouise Erdrich are creating a new literature, the literature of real, live mother hood. Gary Snyder, at the Art of the Wild Conference in Squaw Valley, claims tha t like ecosystems, consciousness, mind, imagination, and language are fundamenta lly wild, while over at the Paris Writers Conference, Julian Gloag laments the t entativeness of students who haven't been trained to think. Michael Dennis Brown e proposes that it is a sense of constantly failing to reach perfection that pro pels us to continue writing; Donald Justice, similarly, discusses the elusivenes s of the ideal.

Christopher Merrill, reporting on a writers' conference in Sl ovenia, finds the famous panelists ignoring the nearby Bosnian war and instead h.…
