Several versions exist, all consisting primarily of text from the Icelandic mediaeval manuscript known as the Codex Regius. The Codex Regius is arguably the most important extant source on Norse mythology and Germanic heroic legends, and from the early 19th century onwards has had a powerful influence on later Scandinavian literatures, not merely through the stories which it contains, but also through the visionary force and dramatic quality of many of the poems. It has also become an inspiring model for many later innovations in poetic meter, particularly in the Nordic languages, offering many varied examples of terse, stress-based metrical schemes working without any final rhyme, and instead using alliterative devices and strongly concentrated imagery. Poets who have acknowledged their debt to the Poetic Edda include Vilhelm Ekelund, August Strindberg, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ezra Pound, Jorge Luis Borges, and Karin Boye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTHERE is scarcely any literary work of great importance which has been less readily available for the general reader, or even for the serious student of literature, than the Poetic Edda. Translations have been far from numerous, and only in Germany has the complete work of translation been done in the full light of recent scholarship. In English the only versions were long the conspicuously inadequate one made by Thorpe, and published about half a century ago, and the unsatisfactory prose translations in Vigfusson and Powell's Corpus Poeticum Boreale, reprinted in the Norroena collection. An excellent translation of the poems dealing with the gods, in verse and with critical and explanatory notes, made by Olive Bray, was, however, published by the Viking Club of London in 1908. In French there exist only partial translations, chief among them being those made by Bergmann many years ago. Among the seven or eight German versions, those by the Brothers Grimm and by Karl Simrock, which had considerable historical importance because of their influence on nineteenth century German literature and art, and particularly on the work of Richard Wagner, have been largely superseded by Hugo Gering's admirable translation, published in 1892, and by the recent two volume rendering by Genzmer, with excellent notes by Andreas Heusler, 194-1920. There are competent translations in both Norwegian and Swedish. The lack of any complete and adequately annotated English rendering in metrical form, based on a critical text, and profiting by the cumulative labors of such scholars as Mogk, Vigfusson, Finnur Jonsson, Grundtvig, Bugge, Gislason, Hildebrand, Luning, Sweet, Niedner, Ettmuller, Mullenhoff, Edzardi, B. M. Olsen, Sievers, Sijmons, Detter, Heinzel, Falk, Neckel, Heusler, and Gering, has kept this extraordinary work practically out of the reach of those who have had neither time nor inclination to master the intricacies of the original Old Norse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCONTENTS INCLUDE:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGeneral Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLays of the Gods\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVoluspo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHovamol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVafthruthnismol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrimnismol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSkirnismol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHarbarthsljoth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHymiskvitha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLokasenna\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThrymskvitha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlvissmol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBaldrs Draumar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRigsthula\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHyndluljoth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSvipdagsmol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLays of the Heroes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlus many more……\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding \/ Paperback:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 310 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublish Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 8 January 2016\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henry Adams Bellows","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41971440550125,"sku":"9781523310623","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/henry-adams-bellows-literature-and-fiction-the-poetic-edda-34450595479789.jpg?v=1643124547"},{"product_id":"a-court-of-thorns-and-roses-court-of-thorns-and-roses-1","title":"A Court of Thorns and Roses (Court of Thorns and Roses #1)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe sexy, action-packed first book in the #1\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series from Sarah J.

He was followed by Mathers and Crowley in 1904 who published The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon. Many others have assembled their own version of this ancient material since, and it is important to realize that it is the contents rather than the book itself that make up the Lesser Key. Traditionally, the source material is divided into five books: Ars Goetia, Ars Theurgia Goetia, Ars Paulina, Ars Almadel, and Ars Notoria.

Crowley was then asked to step in and finish what the previous author had begun. Traditionally, S. L.

It is time to unite in common cause, to shore up defenses, firm up critical and analytical resources, and fortify crumbling lines of inquiry. Responding to this call, Brain Workers from the Zombie Research Center poke and prod the rotting corpus of zombie culture trying to make sense of cult classics and the unstoppable growth of new and even more disturbing work.

Hymes (1927-2009) is arguably best known for his pioneering work in ethnopoetics, a studied approach to Native verbal art that elucidates cultural significance and aesthetic form. As these essays amply demonstrate, nearly six decades later ethnopoetics and Hymes's focus on narrative inequality and voice provide a still valuable critical lens for current research in anthropology and folklore. Through ethnopoetics, so much can be understood in diverse cultural settings and situations: gleaning the voices of individual Koryak storytellers and aesthetic sensibilities from century-old wax cylinder recordings; understanding the similarities and differences between Apache life stories told 58 years apart; how Navajo punning and an expressive device illuminate the work of a Navajo poet; decolonizing Western Mono and Yokuts stories by bringing to the surface the performances behind the texts written down by scholars long ago; and keenly appreciating the potency of language revitalization projects among First Nations communities in the Yukon and northwestern California. Fascinating and topical, these essays not only honor a legacy but also point the way forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11925466\"\u003ePaul V.

Delving into the folk history found in Ireland's rich oral traditions, Guy Beiner reveals alternate visions of the Irish past and brings into focus the vernacular histories, folk commemorative practices, and negotiations of memory that have gone largely unnoticed by historians.\u003cbr\u003e Beiner analyzes hundreds of hitherto unstudied historical, literary, and ethnographic sources. Though his focus is on 1798, his work is also a comprehensive study of Irish folk history and grass-roots social memory in Ireland. Investigating how communities in the West of Ireland remembered, well into the mid-twentieth century, an episode in the late eighteenth century, this is a \"history from below\" that gives serious attention to the perspectives of those who have been previously ignored or discounted. Beiner brilliantly captures the stories, ceremonies, and other popular traditions through which local communities narrated, remembered, and commemorated the past.

In these worlds, shallow aristocrats come to value liberty, women are as assertive and intelligent as men, and protagonists experience compassion as they learn of human suffering. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith an introduction by leading fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes that places Laboulaye's writing in historical context, \u003ci\u003eSmack-Bam, or The Art of Governing Men\u003c\/i\u003e presents spirited tales from the past that speak to contemporary life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-13465015\"\u003eÉdouard Laboulaye\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691181868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691181861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC010000\"\u003eFairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends \u0026amp; Mythology\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Zipes\u003c\/b\u003e is the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Sorcerer's Apprentice\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm\u003c\/i\u003e (both Princeton), as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Great Fairy Tale Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e (Norton).

Wilson lived on the Manitou Rapids Reserve on the Rainy River, which flows along the Ontario-Minnesota border. When anthropologist Ruth Landes arrived at Rainy River to conduct her doctoral research in 1932, Wilson often worked with the young scholar, telling her many stories. Their relationship continued after Landes returned to Columbia University. During the following decades, however, the letters and stories Wilson had sent Landes, which Landes had carefully collected, were lost. Only recently were they discovered in the basement of the Smithsonian Institution, where they had been misfiled with papers of another anthropologist. This rich set of narratives takes us inside the intimate world of Ojibwe families at the turn of the twentieth century, a time of great upheaval when the Ojibwes were being relocated onto reserves and required by the government to abandon their seasonal migrations and subsistence activities. These remarkably detailed stories of ordinary Native people, precisely through their everyday character, reveal much about Ojibwe cultural beliefs and paint a nuanced ethnographic portrait of Ojibwe life. In the distinctive voice of an exceptional and highly creative individual, the stories address both the culturally specific world of the Ojibwes and universal human themes of love, loss, and perseverance.

These narratives shed considerable light on the Hopis' past, giving insight into cultural values and social motivations beyond the ability of archaeology. The tales concern such villages as Sikyatki, Hisatsongoopavi, and Awat'ovi, which were destroyed by war, fire, earthquake, or internal strife. Though abandoned for centuries, they live in memory, reminders of ancient tragedies and enmities that changed the Hopis forever. Related by storytellers from Second and Third Mesa, these tales vividly describe village destruction and show how much human evils such as witchcraft, hubris, corruption, and betrayal of fundamental values can precipitate social disintegration and chaos. Ekkehart Malotki, who collected the original tales in the Hopi vernacular, has carefully edited and translated the tales in this special English-language edition.

After his parent's divorce when he was six, he was brought up in Dublin by a great aunt. At the age of nineteen, he went to America, eventually ending up in New Orleans as a newspaper reporter. His flight from Western materialism brought him to Japan in 1890, where he worked for an English newspaper, the Kobe Chronicle, and taught in various schools. In 1896, he began teaching English literature at Tokyo Imperial University, a position he held until 1903, and at Waseda University. Hearn married a samurai's daughter, Koizumi Setsu, became a Japanese citizen and a Buddhist, and changed his name to Koizumi Yakumo. At the young age of 54, he died of a heart attack. Hearn's search for beauty and tranquility, for pleasing customs and lasting values made him a confirmed Japanophile. His keen intellect, poetic imagination, and wonderful clear style permitted him to penetrate to the very essence of things Japanese. He became the great interpreter of things Japanese to the West. Hearn's most famous work is a collection of lectures entitled \u003ci\u003eJapan: An Attempt at Interpretation\u003c\/i\u003e (published posthumously in 1905). His other books on Japan include \u003ci\u003eGlimpses of Unfamiliar Japan (1894), Out of the East (1895), Kokoro (1896), Gleanings in Buddha Fields (1897), Exotics and Retrospectives (1898), In Ghostly Japan (1899), Shadowings (1900), A Japanese Miscellany (1901)\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKwaidan (1904).\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForeword by \u003cb\u003eVictoria B.

In every culture and in every epoch in human history, from ancient Egypt to modern Hollywood, imaginary beings have haunted dreams and fantasies, provoking in young and old shivers of delight, thrills of terror, and endless fascination. All known folklores brim with visions of looming and ferocious monsters, often in the role as adversaries to great heroes. But while heroes have been closely studied by mythologists, monsters have been neglected, even though they are equally important as pan-human symbols and reveal similar insights into ways the mind works. In \u003ci\u003eMonsters: Evil Beings, Mythical Beasts, and All Manner of Imaginary Terrors\u003c\/i\u003e, anthropologist David D. Gilmore explores what human traits monsters represent and why they are so ubiquitous in people's imaginations and share so many features across different cultures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing colorful and absorbing evidence from virtually all times and places, \u003ci\u003eMonsters\u003c\/i\u003e is the first attempt by an anthropologist to delve into the mysterious, frightful abyss of mythical beasts and to interpret their role in the psyche and in society. After many hair-raising descriptions of monstrous beings in art, folktales, fantasy, literature, and community ritual, including such avatars as Dracula and Frankenstein, Hollywood ghouls, and extraterrestrials, Gilmore identifies many common denominators and proposes some novel interpretations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMonsters, according to Gilmore, are always enormous, man-eating, gratuitously violent, aggressive, sexually sadistic, and superhuman in power, combining our worst nightmares and our most urgent fantasies. We both abhor and worship our monsters: they are our gods as well as our demons. Gilmore argues that the immortal monster of the mind is a complex creation embodying virtually all of the inner conflicts that make us human. Far from being something alien, nonhuman, and outside us, our monsters are our deepest selves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-125576\"\u003eDavid D.

Let us not distress or refuse anyone, or drive any away from eminent perfection.\" --Fr. De Caussade Written to help those who despair of ever becoming holy, Father De Caussade elucidates in Self-Abandonment to Divine Providence how surrendering our will to God is the key to attaining peace and holiness in this life, and that it is readily available to all people-from beginners to those well advanced in the spiritual life. Father De Caussade's teachings were deeply influenced by St. Francis de Sales, St. John of the Cross, and the Sisters of the Visitation founded by St. Jane Frances de Chantal. These influences are apparent in his explanation that the perfection God expects from us consists mainly in our purifying the innumerable little actions that occur in the course of every day; in our heroic attention to every detail in our lives and humble acceptance of the lot God has chosen for us. This edition of Self Abandonment to Divine Providence includes over 150 letters from Father De Caussade to his spiritual children on the practice of self abandonment. These exchanges provide many profound insights and practical tips for applying the timeless lessons found in this classic guide to achieving holiness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-623723\"\u003eJean-Pierre De Caussade\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tan Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.49h x 5.53w x 0.95d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780895553126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0895553120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL047000\"\u003eMysticism\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFather Jean-Pierre de Caussade was born at Cahors, France in 1675.

Unknown to the authorities was the fact that, subsisting in the more remote, forested tracts of the valley, there was a secretive band of mixed-race hunter-gatherers who had been there for over ten generations. Mitchell's book is the story of the exodus of this tribe and the young anthropologist who first discovers them. The novel takes the form of a legal deposition, taken at the Everglades City Court House, in 1929, concerning the fate of these people.

This small book is a collection of beautiful and enigmatic prose poems which represent Llull's contribution to mystic literature. It consists of 366 love poems, each one a daily meditation and reflection for each day of the year. The Book of the Lover and the Beloved comes across as a book of mystical confessions, based upon Llull's personal experiences as well as his knowledge of many wisdom traditions. Some have said that Llull's writings, and this work in particular, were influenced by the stream of Sufism that Llull had contact with. Whatever the origin, this book remains a classic of mystical literature and can be regarded as a guide to personal contemplation. This edition is translated and introduced by the scholar E.

His name is often Anglicized as Raymond Lully or Raymond Lull; and Latinized as Raimundus or Raymundus Lullus or Lullius. He is also famously referred to as Doctor Illuminatus. Llull was a philosopher, logician, poet, theologian, Franciscan tertiary, and is credited with writing the first major work of Catalan literature. He is also considered a pioneer of computation theory, especially as we know of his influence on Leibniz. Within the Franciscan Order he is honored as a martyr. He was beatified in 1847 by Pope Pius IX. Azafran Books was established with a clear aim in mind - to make available a selection of classic books for today's contemporary readers. The books in our catalogue have been selected from a broad range of themes; such as philosophy (occidental \u0026amp; oriental), mysticism \u0026amp; magic, new thought, religion \u0026amp; spirituality, folktales, mythology, cult fiction, poetry, social commentary, and psychology. Yet they all have a common theme, or purpose - to stimulate our thinking and modes of perception. For this reason, they have been chosen to be re-published and re-presented to the modern reader. Azafran Books have been re-edited, formatted, and presented with new design work - they are NOT scanned copies with original errors. Our books have been carefully re-published to the highest of standards - by a team of dedicated real people - not an algorithm! Our aim at Azafran Books is to bring a range of stimulating books, many of them largely forgotten, to the attention of the reader today. In other words, to bring you 'Classic Books for a Contemporary World.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Azafran Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42638362444013,"sku":"9780995727977","price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_574dc600-c47f-4d1f-97a2-14a305c17d8c.jpg?v=1649032622"},{"product_id":"cinder-allia-9780999022108","title":"Cinder Allia","description":"Cinder Allia has spent eight years living under her stepmother's brutal thumb, wrongly punished for having caused her mother's death.
