Book Description
In a world permeated by mana, the life energy present in nature, manipulable only by women, institutions specialized in teaching magic are reserved for them, while military academies are denied to men. However, the young Petrus is accepted as a new student at the Academy of Magic Laetus, even though the idea of a man invading a predominantly female environment is rejected, even if his desire was just to be an ordinary student. With time, they would realize that this strange exception would mean little in the face of the immense storm that would disrupt their peaceful lives, reminding them that they should have never forgotten that his enrollment heralded the return of the demon king. However, his intentions seemed misaligned with his title. Could this be indicative of a paradigm shift? Why did this change occur?

Virgil, Aeneid, 4.1-299
Author: Ingo Gildenhard
Publisher: Open Book Publishers
ISBN: 1909254150
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Love and tragedy dominate book four of Virgil's most powerful work, building on the violent emotions invoked by the storms, battles, warring gods, and monster-plagued wanderings of the epic's opening. Destined to be the founder of Roman culture, Aeneas, nudged by the gods, decides to leave his beloved Dido, causing her suicide in pursuit of his historical destiny. A dark plot, in which erotic passion culminates in sex, and sex leads to tragedy and death in the human realm, unfolds within the larger horizon of a supernatural sphere, dominated by power-conscious divinities. Dido is Aeneas' most significant other, and in their encounter Virgil explores timeless themes of love and loyalty, fate and fortune, the justice of the gods, imperial ambition and its victims, and ethnic differences. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, study questions, a commentary, and interpretative essays. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at both A2 and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil's poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought.

Humanism and the Culture of Renaissance Europe
Author: Charles G. Nauert
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316154297
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 11
Book Description
In this updated edition of his classic account, Charles Nauert charts the rise of humanism as the distinctive culture of the social, political and intellectual elites in Renaissance Europe. He traces humanism's emergence in the unique social and cultural conditions of fourteenth-century Italy and its gradual diffusion throughout the rest of Europe. He shows how, despite its elitist origins, humanism became a major force in the popular culture and fine arts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and the powerful impact it had on both the Protestant and Catholic Reformations. He uses art and biographical sketches of key figures to illuminate the narrative and concludes with an account of the limitations of humanism at the end of the Renaissance. The revised edition includes a section dealing with the place of women in humanistic culture and an updated bibliography. It will be essential reading for all students of Renaissance Europe.

Humanism and the Culture of Renaissance Europe
Author: Charles G. Nauert (Jr.)
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521407243
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This new textbook provides students with a highly readable synthesis of the major determining features of the European Renaissance, one of the most influential cultural revolutions in history. Professor Nauert's approach is broader than the traditional focus on Italy, and tackles the themes in the wider European context. He traces the origins of the humanist 'movement' and connects it to the social and political environments in which it developed. In a tour-de-force of lucid exposition over six wide-ranging chapters, Nauert charts the key intellectual, social, educational and philosophical concerns of this humanist revolution, using art and biographical sketches of key figures to illuminate the discussion. The study also traces subsequent transformations of humanism and its solvent effect on intellectual developments in the late Renaissance.
