Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The Weary Blues' is the powerful and ground-breaking collection of poetry by American author Langston Hughes. An important contribution to the growing Harlem Renaissance art movement, 'The Weary Blues' was Hughes' first poetry collection and was published in 1926 when the author was only 24, though some of the poems had appeared earlier in magazines. An immediate critical success, Hughes created a new form of poetry, called jazz or blues poetry, with his evocative and lyrical descriptions of the sounds and sights of a blues musician playing live. Hughes addresses the pressing social issues of racism, inequality, and political oppression while also capturing and celebrating the beauty and uniqueness of the African-American community in Harlem. In addition to the titular poem, 'The Weary Blues' includes enduring classics of American poetry such as 'The Negro Speaks of Rivers' and Hughes' inspiring call for equality that begins 'I, too, sing America'. These poems, as well as the shorter and more exuberant works, remain as relevant and powerful as when they were first written. This deeply personal, sensitive, and often melancholy collection established Hughes as one of the most important writers of the twentieth-century and continues to be celebrated and enjoyed by readers the world over.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - English artist, illustrator, and poet Edward Lear is well known for his the volumes of limericks and nonsense poems that he published beginning with his first 'A Book of Nonsense' in 1846. These clever and memorable limericks and poems were instantly popular when they first appeared and Lear followed his first volume with several more works of nonsense poetry over the course of his career. These 'nonsense' works turn ordinary language and literary expectations on their head with made up words and strange and meaningless phrases. While limericks usually consist of five lines and bawdy topics, Lear's limericks vary in length and are never scandalous. Instead, they are charming and creative, combining words and images into surprising and unexpected verses. 'The Owl and the Pussycat', which was first published in 1871 in 'Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany, and Alphabets', is a charming example of Lear's whimsical poetry.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1909, E. M. Forster's 'The Machine Stops' is a fascinating story of dystopic science fiction which has been heralded as one of the greatest of the twentieth century.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1959, 'The Measure of a Man' is a collection of two influential sermons given by Martin Luther King, Jr. at the first National Conference on Christian Education of the United Church of Christ at Purdue University in August 1958. The two sermons, 'What is Man ' and 'The Dimensions of a Complete Life', were printed together and published as 'The Measure of a Man' by the Christian Education Press with the consent of King the following year. These sermons reflect ideas that King first began to develop during his days in the seminary and address what King believed to be 'one of the most important questions confronting any generation'. He argued that the answer to what precisely made us human and different from other animals was complicated as we are biological beings, but also beings of spirit and thought. King argued that while we are made in the image of God and thus have a connection to the divine and perfect, we are also sinners in need of divine grace from God, our Creator. King's sermons are as thought-provoking and inspiring now as when he gave them and remain an important addition to his body of work. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1920, 'Beyond the Pleasure Principle', by world-renowned psychologist Sigmund Freud, marks a major turning point in the author's theoretical approach. Prior to this work, Freud's examination of the forces that drive people focused primarily on the sexual drive, or Eros of man, the life instinct to reproduce that is innate in all humans. Freud had attributed most of human behavior to the seeking of sexual pleasure. However, in 'Beyond the Pleasure Principle' Freud moves away from these creative and pleasure-seeking impulses as the only motivator of human action to instead examine the impact on human psychology of the death drive, or Thanatos, which Freud describes as 'an urge inherent in all organic life to restore an earlier state of things'. Freud still believes the pleasure principle is the more dominant force, but argues as well that unpleasant experiences have a great influence on the mind and are often the source of repetitive, compulsive behaviors. Freud also revisits his earlier theory that dreams are a form of wish fulfillment as he examines the reliving of traumatic events in dreams. One of Freud's most controversial and influential works, 'Beyond the Pleasure Principle' remains an important and fascinating read. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Euripides turned to playwriting at a young age, achieving his first victory in the Athens' City Dionysia dramatic competitions in 441 BC. He would be awarded this honor three more times in his life, and once more posthumously. His plays are often ironic, pessimistic, and display radical rejection of classical decorum and rules. In 408 BC, Euripides left war-torn Athens for Macedonia, upon the invitation of King Archelaus, and there he spent his last years as a confidant of the king. In his final years, he produced 'The Bacchae', which in modern times has become one of the most frequently preformed plays from classical antiquity. Winner of the first prize of the Athens' City Dionysia dramatic competition, the play is a tragedy based on the Greek myth of King Pentheus of Thebes and his mother Agave. When Dionysus appears at the palace of Thebes to attest that he is the son of Zeus, the sisters of his mortal mother, Semele, do not believe him. He proceeds to establish a cult of followers in Thebes and exact vengeance on all those who deny his godly status. Considered one of the greatest of all dramas from classical antiquity, this play's popularity and critical acclaim stands as a testament to the profound dramatic talent of Euripides.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Greek playwright, Aristophanes, lived during the 5th and 4th century BC and is considered one of the principal authors of the Greek classical period. Of the nearly thirty plays he wrote during his career, eleven are extant. Amongst the most famous of these is 'Lysistrata,' a comedy which focuses on the women of Greece whose husbands have left for the Peloponnesian War. The women do not care about the conflict as much as they care about missing their husbands. Its titular character, Lysistrata, insists that men rarely listen to women's reasoning and exclude their opinions on matters of state. In retaliation she convinces the women of Greece to organize a strike, refusing to have sex with their husbands until both sides agree to cease fighting. The irony of this is that the men become more upset with their wives than they do with their enemies of war. Notable for its positive portrayal of women's rationality in a male-dominated society, 'Lysistrata' stands as one the most popular and frequently performed plays from classical antiquity. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and is translated and annotated by the Athenian Society.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Greek philosopher and scientist, Aristotle, lived in the 4th century B.C. and is thought of as one of the most important figures from classical antiquity. Aristotle was probably the most famous member of Plato's Academy in Athens, whose writings would ultimately form the first comprehensive system of Western philosophy. His writings were not constrained to simply one field of inquiry but covered such various subjects as physics, biology, metaphysics, logic, ethics, aesthetics, rhetoric, linguistics, politics and government. Contained in this volume is Aristotle's 'Poetics' which is regarded as the world's first comprehensive treatise on literature. It is a detailed analysis of drama and poetry with its greatest emphasis on tragedy. Aristotle outlines the elements of good drama drawing upon specific examples from the literature of ancient Greece. Lost for a time to the Western world, 'Poetics' was rediscovered in the late medieval and early renaissance period from Arabic sources. An essential read for any student of classical literature, Aristotle's 'Poetics' provides great insight into the study of drama from the classical period. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, is translated by Ingram Bywater, and includes a preface by Gilbert Murray.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1850, 'The Law' is the best known work of 19th century economist Frederic Bastiat, a prominent member of the French Liberal School. A forerunner to the Austrian School of Economics, the French Liberal School was a major proponent of the laissez-faire capitalistic system. Bastiat advocated for unregulated free markets and against protectionism. At the heart of Bastiat's philosophy was an opposition against the redistribution of wealth by the government, which he refers to as 'legal plunder', for any reason. In Bastiat's opinion the sole purpose of the government was to protect personal property and liberty. Influenced by John Locke's 'Second Treatise on Government', this short little book may seem extreme in its defense of personal property by today's standards. Bastiat in fact opposes such commonly accepted modern day practices as public education. Bastiat's absolutist position is understood when one learns of his personal history, his father's estate was acquired during the French Revolution. While history may ultimately deem Bastiat as nothing more than a reactionary, his contribution to modern economics, which includes the concept of opportunity cost, and his influence on modern political economy cannot be overstated. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of Dean Russell.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1955, 'Believe in Yourself' by Dr. Joseph Murphy, the Irish-American author and New Thought minister with a Ph.D. in Psychology, is the inspiring and fascinating book on the power of self-confidence and positive thinking. Dr. Murphy draws on the experiences of highly successful and talented people, such as inventors, artists, and businessmen, to show that believing in your dreams and your own potential is the secret to great success.

Dr. Murphy lectured, taught, and counseled countless people for decades and studied religions and philosophies from all over the world and came to the conclusion that the power to achieve one's greatest dreams resides in one's own state of mind. This engaging and encouraging book not only motivates the reader to adopt positive thinking and success as a mindset, but also provides practical tools so that the reader may incorporate these lessons in their daily life.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - We have Czech writer Karel Capek to thank for the invention of the word robot and generally for the introduction of the idea of artificial intelligence to the world of literature. His play, 'R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots)' was first performed in 1921 and was an instant success. While the 'robots' of the play could be more accurately described as cyborgs, Capek's influence on the science fiction genre with this play would be profound. 'R.U.R.' describes a future where robots have become universal and all of humanity is now dependent on the labor that they provide. Everything is perfect until the robot's are stirred into revolt. 'R.U.R.' is Capek's prophetic and dark dystopian vision of the future which would solidify his place in literary history.…
