Book Description
“You will fall in love soon.” I lifted a brow at him. “Let me guess, I’ll come into a large sum of money too.” His smile didn’t falter. “I don’t know about your finances, but I do know he is powerful, the most powerful in this city—a god among men, if you will.” Raised by strangers in rural Oklahoma, Zade Wilson would do anything to escape her mundane life, or so she thought. When her wish causes an accident on the highway, she is brought face to face with opportunity and doesn’t let it get away from her. Now, in a new city with millions of strange, new people, she is still trying to find out where she belongs. It doesn’t take long for her to figure out there is something different about the residents in Fable City and that she is more like them than she ever could have imagined. But something sinister is happening to the inhabitants of her new home, and she finds herself in desperate need to learn what kind of Fabled she is and how to use her abilities. Lucky for her, there happens to be a God who wouldn’t mind helping her out. Together they must find who is taking the Fabled and stop them, but things are not always what they seem in Fable City.

Spirit, Soul, and City
Author: Jan H. Blits
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739115428
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Spirit, Soul, and City offers a new reading of Coriolanus, Shakespeare's most political play and the last of his great tragedies. Portraying the founding of the Roman republic and the life and soul of its legendary warrior, Coriolanus, the play brings to light not only the hidden working of Rome's mixed regime but the inherent tragic tensions in the soul's spirited tendency to strive to go beyond itself in order to be true to itself. Distinguished scholar Jan H. Blits provides a fresh interpretation of this rich, complex, and often perplexing play, combining meticulous detail and insightful breadth. Proceeding line-by-line through the play, this book reaches its conclusions by closely examining Shakespeare's text--his plot, characters, language, structure, allusions, puzzles, and other devices.

Plato's Fable
Author: Joshua Mitchell
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400827175
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
This book is an exploration of Plato's Republic that bypasses arcane scholarly debates. Plato's Fable provides refreshing insight into what, in Plato's view, is the central problem of life: the mortal propensity to adopt defective ways of answering the question of how to live well. How, in light of these tendencies, can humankind be saved? Joshua Mitchell discusses the question in unprecedented depth by examining one of the great books of Western civilization. He draws us beyond the ancients/moderns debate, and beyond the notion that Plato's Republic is best understood as shedding light on the promise of discursive democracy. Instead, Mitchell argues, the question that ought to preoccupy us today is neither "reason" nor "discourse," but rather "imitation." To what extent is man first and foremost an "imitative" being? This, Mitchell asserts, is the subtext of the great political and foreign policy debates of our times. Plato's Fable is not simply a work of textual exegesis. It is an attempt to move debates within political theory beyond their current location. Mitchell recovers insights about the depth of the problem of mortal imitation from Plato's magnificent work, and seeks to explicate the meaning of Plato's central claim--that "only philosophy can save us."

Aesop's Fables
Author: Aesop
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191606286
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
'The story goes that a sow who had delivered a whole litter of piglets loudly accosted a lioness. "How many children do you breed?" asked the sow. "I breed only one", said the lioness, "but it is very well bred!"' The fables of Aesop have become one of the most enduring traditions of European culture, ever since they were first written down nearly two millennia ago. Aesop was reputedly a tongue-tied slave who miraculously received the power of speech; from his legendary storytelling came the collections of prose and verse fables scattered throughout Greek and Roman literature. First published in English by Caxton in 1484, the fables and their morals continue to charm modern readers: who does not know the story of the tortoise and the hare, or the boy who cried wolf? This new translation is the first to represent all the main fable collections in ancient Latin and Greek, arranged according to the fables' contents and themes. It includes 600 fables, many of which come from sources never before translated into English. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
