Homo Sum — Complete
Author: Georg Ebers
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Homo Sum is a story of the cave-dweller called Paulus, based on the Chruch history of the Oasis of Pharan. The Pharan Oasis was the largest urban center of the Sinai Peninsula during the late Roman period. It was famous as the place of the Bishop of Sinai. German novelist Georg Ebers transports the readers to Mount Sinai with his incredible imagery in the novel. The scenes of this story, like his other works are set in Egypt during the time of the Roman emperor, Hadrian. Excerpt from Homo Sum "Rocks-naked, hard, red-brown rocks all round; not a bush, not a blade, not a clinging moss such as elsewhere nature has lightly flung on the rocky surface of the heights, as if a breath of her creative life had softly touched the barren stone. Nothing but smooth granite, and above it a sky as bare of cloud as the rocks are of shrubs and herbs."

Reflection on the Death of a Porcupine
Author: D. H. Lawrence
Publisher: Rosetta Books
ISBN: 0795351526
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
This collection of essays by the author of Lady Chatterley’s Loverpresents his musings on literature, politics and philosophy in a newly restored text. Though D. H. Lawrence was one of the great writers of the twentieth century, his works were severely corrupted by the stringent house-styling of printers and the intrusive editing of timid publishers. A team of scholars at Cambridge University Press has worked for more than thirty years to restore the definitive texts of D. H. Lawrence in The Cambridge Editions. Between 1915–1925, D. H. Lawrence wrote a series of “philosophicalish” essays covering topics ranging from politics to nature, and from religion to education. Varying in tone from lighthearted humor to spiritual meditation, they all share the underlying themes of Lawrence’s mature work: “Be thyself.” As far as possible, the editors of the Cambridge Editions series have restored these essays to their original form as Lawrence wrote them. A discussion of the history of each essay is provided, and several incomplete and unpublished essays are reproduced in an appendix.

Selected Critical Writings
Author: David Herbert Lawrence
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780192823649
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
'A critic must be able to feel the impact of a work of art in all its complexity and force. To do so, he must be a man of force and complexity himself...' 'A critic must be emotionally alive in every fibre, intellectually capable and skilful in essential logic, and then morally very honest.' These comments by D. H. Lawrence are as close a description as any of himself as a critic. They come from his essay on fellow novelist John Galsworthy, and there are many other pieces on novels and novelists in this selection. But Lawrence's range of genres extends to poetry and plays andpaintings, and his critical writing encompasses an enormous variety of subjects, from Aeschylus and the Apocalypse to symbolism and syphilis, for his nterests are philosophical , psychological, religious, moral, sociological, historical and cultural as well as literary and artistic. This selectionis a treasure-trove of 'thought adventures' by one of literature's liveliest critical spirits.
