The Trials of Socrates : Six Classic Texts (9780872205895)

Lampooned in 406 B.C.E. in a blistering Aristophanic satire, Socrates was tried in 399 B.C.E. on a charge of corrupting the youth, convicted by a jury of about five hundred of his peers, and condemned to death. Glimpsed today through the extant writings of his contemporaries and near-contemporaries, he remains for us as compelling, enigmatic, and elusive a figure as Jesus or Buddha. Although present-day (like ancient Greek) opinion on the real Socrates diverges widely, six classic texts that any informed judgment of him must take into account appear together, for the first time, in this volume. Those of Plato and Xenophon appear in new, previously unpublished translations that combine accuracy, accessibility, and readability; that of Aristophanes' Clouds offers these same qualities in an unbowdlerized translation that captures brilliantly the bite of Aristophanes' wit. An Introduction to each text and judicious footnotes provide crucial background information and important cross-references.

Secrets of Voodoo (9780872861718)

Secrets of Voodoo traces the development in Haiti and the Americas of this complex religion from its sources in the brilliant civilizations of ancient Africa. This book presents a straightforward account of the gods of loas and their function, the symbols and signs, rituals, and the ceremonial calendar of Voodoo; and the procedures for performing magical rites are given. "Voodoo," derived from the words meaning "introspection" and "mystere" is a system of belief about the formation of the world and human destiny with clear correspondences in other world religions. Rigaud makes these connections and discloses the esoteric meaning underlying Voodoo's outward manifestations, which are often misinterpreted. Translated from the French by Robert B. Cross. Drawings and photographs by Odette Mennesson-Rigaud. Milo Rigaud was born in Port au Prince, Haiti, in 1903, where he spent the greater part of his life studying Voodoo tradition. In Haiti he studied law, and in France ethnology, psychology and theology. The involvement of Voodoo in the political struggle of Haitian blacks for independence was one of his main concerns after he returned to his country.

Secret Guardian (9781538524084)

Ann can't tolerate the new guy assigned to her camera crew. She's been in journalism long enough to know when someone is full of himself. And this guy is so full of himself, he can't seem to point the camera in the right direction. Her latest assignment in Brazil seemed harmless enough, but now she's in over her head, and the only way out is to trust the man that helped put her in the line of fire to begin with. Ethan is ex-special forces with a stellar record and long resume of top secret missions. Leaving the military was a tough decision, but working for himself provides the freedom he loves. Taking the occasional high-profile security job helps pay the bills and keep his need for excitement at bay. When he takes an undercover job for an old client, his years of training and experience are put to the test. But babysitting the senator's daughter proves to be a challenge he can hardly resist.

Tradition Im Uebergang : Untersuchungen Zu Den Kurzgeschichten Der Suedstaatenautoren Bobbie Ann Mason, Madison Smartt Bell Und Richard Bausch (9783631518076)

Die regional gepragte Literatur der amerikanischen Sudstaaten, die in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts als Southern Renascence die sozialen, kulturellen und moralischen Befindlichkeiten der Region artikulierte, scheint durch die Literatur des nationalen mainstream abgeloest worden zu sein. Es ist fraglich, ob es angesichts der vielschichtigen Veranderungen im Suden noch eine spezifisch regionale Literatur gibt. Anhand exemplarischer Analysen der Kurzgeschichten von Bobbie Ann Mason, Madison Smartt Bell und Richard Bausch kann jedoch gezeigt werden, dass die Traditionen der Sudstaatenliteratur gerade im gesellschaftlichen Wandel genutzt und weiterentwickelt werden.
