SAGUS Vol 12
Author: Graham M Thomas
Publisher: SAGUS
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
SAGUS is a series of books that document a life, a life that proceeded it and a life thereafter. Each volume covers a period of time or an event and they run chronologically. The uniqueness of the series is that it uses as contemporaneous records, diaries, notes, images, books, archives and photographs most of which belong to the author and his family. In other words the volumes are the closest that can be achieved to real-time testimony with a true record and insight to the times. There is no rewriting of history and hence they avoid this deficiency of most memoirs. Well almost because even when the basis of the writing is a diary, it is of course one person’s view and interpretation of an event. We all look at the same thing in slightly different ways, see some things but not others. SAGUS Vol 12 covers a single academic year at the authors English grammar school running from 1970 through until the summer of 1971.

SAGUS Vol 3 Oxford to Liverpool 1918 - 1930
Author: Kitty Martin
Publisher: Graham M Thomas
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
SAGUS the biography of a family, a potentially never ending series of volumes that covers my life, my families life and my descendants life. I say potentially because the continuation by my descendants does of course depend upon their willingness to become embroiled in the task. I may be the end of the line. SAGUS is everything and anything: diaries, essays, books proper, notes, jottings, photo albums, long and short-form. Almost all of SAGUS is taken from contemporary writings; all the photographs were taken by me or my family. Most of the other images are from items in our possession. This is a true record rather than relying on faulty and revisionist memory, or items imported in an attempt to recreate a period. In short it is reality: for good or bad and as comprehensive or incomplete as it may be. SAGUS 3 describes the Thomas’s family life, first in Oxford and then in Liverpool during the 1920s.

SAGUS Vol 34 A Japanese Journey
Author: Graham M Thomas
Publisher: Graham Thomas
ISBN:
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
An Odyssey across Japan, from its northern most island to the southern tip of Kyushu. Like any Odyssey it has taken some time to complete it but I would not term myself a hero by any stretch of the imagination. The trip starts in Otaru famous for its fish and ends in the southernmost point of Kyushu where James Bond’s You Only Live Twice was filmed. On the way we discover little known aspects of Japan as well as the story behind You Only Live Twice, including the visits made by Ian Fleming to Japan. There are megaliths and whirlpools; firebombing and snow storms; great food and mysterious onsen. This is a Japan that hardly anyone knows and is the first written account of a journey that takes in all four main islands of Japan.

Slave Theater in the Roman Republic
Author: Amy Richlin
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108216439
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 582
Book Description
Roman comedy evolved early in the war-torn 200s BCE. Troupes of lower-class and slave actors traveled through a militarized landscape full of displaced persons and the newly enslaved; together, the actors made comedy to address mixed-class, hybrid, multilingual audiences. Surveying the whole of the Plautine corpus, where slaves are central figures, and the extant fragments of early comedy, this book is grounded in the history of slavery and integrates theories of resistant speech, humor, and performance. Part I shows how actors joked about what people feared - natal alienation, beatings, sexual abuse, hard labor, hunger, poverty - and how street-theater forms confronted debt, violence, and war loss. Part II catalogues the onstage expression of what people desired: revenge, honor, free will, legal personhood, family, marriage, sex, food, free speech; a way home, through memory; and manumission, or escape - all complicated by the actors' maleness. Comedy starts with anger.
