LANDMARK: NEW Trade Paperback, First Modern Library Edition (Orig. 2017) Twelfth Printing (c. 2022) * 6.12" x 9.18" x 1.48", 1.08 kg, xxx+834 (864) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: A landmark anthology of the masterpieces of Greek drama, featuring all-new, highly accessible translations of some of the world's most beloved plays, including Agamemnon, Prometheus Bound, Bacchae, Electra, Medea, Antigone, & Oedipus the King. Featuring translations by Emily Wilson, Frank Nisetich, Sarah Ruden, Rachel Kitzinger, Mary Lefkowitz, & James Romm. The great plays of Ancient Greece are among the most enduring & important legacies of the Western world. Not only is the influence of Greek drama palpable in everything from Shakespeare to modern television, the insights contained in Greek tragedy have shaped our perceptions of the nature of human life. Poets, philosophers, & politicians have long borrowed & adapted the ideas & language of Greek drama to help them make sense of their own times. This exciting curated anthology features a cross section of the most popular?& most widely taught?plays in the Greek canon. Fresh translations into contemporary English breathe new life into the texts while capturing, as faithfully as possible, their original meaning. This outstanding collection also offers short biographies of the playwrights, enlightening & clarifying introductions to the plays, & helpful annotations at the bottom of each page. Appendices by prominent classicists on such topics as "Greek Drama & Politics," "The Theater of Dionysus," and "Plato and Aristotle on Tragedy" give the reader a rich contextual background. A detailed time line of the dramas, as well as a list of adaptations of Greek drama to literature, stage, & film from the time of Seneca to the present, helps chart the history of Greek tragedy & illustrate its influence on our culture from the Roman Empire to the present day. With a veritable who's who of today's most renowned & distinguished classical translators, "The Greek Plays" is certain to be the definitive text for years to come. * HIGH PRAISE: "Mary Lefkowitz & James Romm deftly have gathered strong new translations from Frank Nisetich, Sarah Ruden, Rachel Kitzinger, Emily Wilson, as well as from Mary Lefkowitz & James Romm themselves. There is a freshness & pungency in these new translations that should last a long time. I admire also the introductions to the plays & the biographies and annotations provided. Closing essays by five distinguished classicists?the brilliant Daniel Mendelsohn & the equally skilled David Rosenbloom, Joshua Billings, Mary-Kay Gamel, & Gregory Hays?all enlightened me. This seems to me a helpful light into our gathering darkness." -Harold Bloom * ABOUT THE EDITORS: MARY LEFKOWITZ is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities emerita at Wellesley College. A recipient of the National Humanities Award, Lefkowitz is the author and editor of numerous articles and books, including "Not Out of Africa: How Afrocentrism Became an Excuse to Teach Myth as History"; "Greek Gods, Human Lives: What We Can Learn from Myths" & "Euripides & the Gods". JAMES ROMM is the James H. Ottaway Jr. Professor of Classics at Bard College and the author of several books, including "Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero" & "Ghost on the Throne: The Death of Alexander the Great and the War for Crown and Empire". He has edited numerous translations of ancient Greek texts, including the "Anabasis of Arrian" for the volume "The Campaigns of Alexander" in the distinguished Landmark Series of Ancient Historians. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. NEW First Modern Library Edition (Modern Library 100 Best Non-Fiction Books of all time) (Orig. 2002) Thirty-Second Printing (c. 2024): NEW mylar-protected handsomely-designed original jacket, An IMMACULATE, PRISTINE Copy * 4.88 x 7.50 x 1.24", 0.46 kg, xiv+402 (416) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time: In this book, the author of "Seven Gothic Tales" gives a true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells w/ classic simplicity of the ways of the country & the natives: of the beauty of the Ngong Hills & coffee trees in blossom: of her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited her: of primitive festivals: of big game that were her near neighbors--lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes--& of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live w/ her, unbelievably ladylike & beautiful. * ABOUT THE PUBLISHER: (And WHY We at Mnemosyne have always & to this day Loved This House): The Random House colophon made its debut in February 1927 on the cover of a little pamphlet called "Announcement Number One." Bennett Cerf & Donald Klopfer, the company's founders, had acquired the Modern Library from publishers Boni & Liveright two years earlier. One day, their friend the illustrator Rockwell Kent stopped by their office. Cerf later recalled, "Rockwell was sitting at my desk facing Donald, & we were talking about doing a few books on the side, when suddenly I got an inspiration & said, ''I've got the name for our publishing house. We just said we were going to publish a few books on the side at random. Let''s call it Random House.'' Donald liked the idea, & Rockwell Kent said, ''That's a great name. I'll draw your trademark.'' So, sitting at my desk, he took a piece of paper & in 5 minutes drew Random House, which has been our colophon ever since." Throughout the years, the mission of Random House has remained consistent: to publish books of the highest quality, at random. We are proud to continue this tradition today. * This edition is set from the first American edition of 1937 and commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of Random House. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Isak Dinesen is the pseudonym of Karen Blixen, born in Denmark in 1885. After her marriage in 1914 to Baren Bror Blixen, she & her husband lived in British East Africa, where they owned a coffee plantation. She divorced from her husband in 1921 but continued to manage the plantation for another ten years, until the collapse of the coffee market forced her to sell the property & return to Denmark in 1931. There she began to write in English under the nom de plume Isak Dinesen. Her first book, & literary success, was "Seven Gothic Tales". It was followed by "Out of Africa", "The Angelic Avengers" (written under the pseudonym Pierre Andrézel), "Winter's Tales", "Last Tales", "Anecdotes of Destiny", "Shadows on the Grass", & "Ehrengard". She died in 1962. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & to all INTERNATIONAL destinations at our posted rates via USPS FIRST CLASS AIRMAIL.

It puts a glaring spotlight on the life of one individual to show how all lives have meaning that is universal & eternal. In this intensely personal narrative, Augustine tells the story of his sinful youth & his conversion to Christianity. He describes his ascent from a humble farm in North Africa to a prestigious post in the Roman Imperial capital of Milan, his struggle against his own overpowering sexuality, his renunciation of secular ambition & marriage, & the recovery of the faith his mother had taught him during his earliest years. Augustine's concerns are often strikingly contemporary, & the confessional mode he invented can be seen everywhere in writing today. Grounded in her command of Latin as it was written & spoken in the ancient world, Sarah Ruden's translation is a bold departure from its predecessors?& the most historically accurate translation ever. Stylistically beautiful, w/ no concessions made to suit later theology & ritual, Ruden's rendition will give readers a startling & illuminating new perspective on one of the central texts of Christianity. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "A translation of [Augustine's] masterwork that does justice both to him & to his God . . . Repeated small acts of attention to the humble, human roots of Augustine's imagery of his relations to God enable Ruden to convey a living sense of the Being before Whom we find him transfixed in prayer" -NYRB "Delightfully readable . . . In this lively translation filled with vivid, personal prose, Ruden introduces readers to a saint whom many will realize they only thought they knew. Approaching her subject w/ deep religious & historical knowledge, [Ruden] chooses to translate Augustine as a performative, engaging storyteller rather than a systematic theologian." -Publishers Weekly * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: SARAH RUDEN was educated at the University of Michigan, Johns Hopkins, & Harvard, from which she graduated w/ a Ph.D. in classical philology. She has translated six books of classical literature, including 'Lysistrata', 'The Golden Ass', & 'The Aeneid', & has also translated Aeschylus's 'Oresteia' for the Modern Library collection 'The Greek Plays'. Her translation of Augustin's 'Confessions' is her first book-length translation of sacred literature. Her articles have appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Books & Culture, & other magazines. She is a winner of a Guggenheim fellowship & a Whiting Creative Nonfiction Grant, & is the author of "Paul Among the People: The Apostle Reinterpreted & Reimagined in His Own Time" & "The Face of Water: A Translator on Beauty & Meaning in the Bible", as well as a book of poetry, "Other Places". Ruden is a visiting scholar at Brown University & lives in Hamden, Connecticut. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
