In this highly anticipated third edition, Mark Griffith and Glenn W. Today, Chicago is taking pains to ensure that our Greek tragedies remain the leading English-language versions throughout the twenty-first century. Under the expert management of eminent classicists David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, those translations combined accuracy, poetic immediacy, and clarity of presentation to render the surviving masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides in an English so lively and compelling that they remain the standard translations. Sixty years ago, the University of Chicago Press undertook a momentous project: a new translation of the Greek tragedies that would be the ultimate resource for teachers, students, and readers. Aeschylus II contains “The Oresteia,” translated by Richmond Lattimore, and fragments of “Proteus,” translated by Mark Griffith. ![]()

5/23/2023 0 Comments Behold the Man by Michael Moorcock![]() ![]() We Protestants must sooner or later face this question: Are we to understand the ‘imitation of Christ’ in the sense that we should copy his life and, if I may use the expression, ape his stigmata: or in the deeper sense that we are to live our own proper lives as truly as he lived his in all its implications? It is no easy matter to live a life that is modelled on Christ’s, but it is unspeakably harder to live one’s own life as truly as Christ lived his. My central argument turns on a long quotation from Jung’s Modern Man in Search of a Soul (which would have made a good subtitle for the novel) and which Moorcock includes within his text (along with many other explicit allusions to Jung): ![]() The title not only quotes Pilate’s words from St John’s gospel but alludes to Nietzsche’s autobiographical work Ecce Homo and the book is a challenging exploration of the ‘truth’ of Christianity, using ideas from Nietzsche, Freud and Jung as part of a classic SF time-travel-loop paradox. ![]() ![]() Behold the Man was one of the finest stories ever published in New Worlds, winning a Nebula Award and later being expanded into a full-length novel, but it has never (in either of its versions) had the critical attention given to Ballard’s equally ground-breaking stories, though it shares their pattern of an ambiguous psychological quest. New Worlds 166 (September 1966) was a particularly strong issue, including the novella-length version of Moorcock’s Behold the Man, Ballard’s ‘The Atrocity Exhibition’, and stories by Brian Aldiss and Thomas M. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Sin City by Frank Miller![]() ![]() ![]() Who was she? And who wanted her dead? The cops are on their way-it smells like a frame job, and this time, they won’t let him live. ![]() But good things never last-a few hours later, Goldie is dead-murdered by his side without a mark on her body. She says her name is Goldie-a goddess who has blessed this wretched low-life with a night of heaven. But for a single moment, amid the filth and degenerates, the hulking and unstable ex-con Marv has found an angel. There is no light in a place like Sin City-only misery, crime, perversion. This tale of Marv and his angel is steeped in murder, mystery, corruption, and vengeance. The acclaimed crime noir from comics legend Frank Miller is presented with new cover art and pinup gallery. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments The rigid duke darcy burke![]() ![]() by Darcy Burke First published in 2014 3 editions in 1 language 1 previewable Borrow Listen.

Adams![]() ![]() It's not exactly deep, but this book (the first in a planned series) will entertain readers looking for a fun fantasy that mixes adventure with just a bit of romance. As a result, the plot speeds almost too quickly toward its cliffhanger conclusion. ![]() In a book in which nearly every character is stunningly attractive, it’s hard to believe anyone’s gleaming hair will really get mussed. There’s danger in Faerie, but it never quite feels like a real threat to our heroine, who keeps herself “fighting fit” enough that she’s ready to duel even in the middle of a dinner party.
