The Philosopher's Banquet
Author: Frieda Klotz
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191618284
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
The Philosopher's Banquet is the first sustained study of Plutarch's Table Talk, a Greek prose text which is a combination of philosophical dialogue (in the style of Plato's Symposium) and miscellany. The form of Table Talk was imitated by several later Greek and Roman imperial authors (such as Aulus Gellius, Athenaeus, and Macrobius), making it a vital part of the early Roman Empire's literary and cultural history. Similarly, the great variety of its contents links it with a broader imperial cultural trend, that of systematizing knowledge, which features increasingly prominently as a subject of scholarly study in both classics and the history of science. The contributors to The Philosopher's Banquet offer a range of methodologically innovative and sophisticated readings of Table Talk's literary form, themes, cultural background, and influence.

Pages : 404
Book Description
A Meditative Walk-Way to Spiritual Growth... The Christian is called into relationship with Christ and to journey with the Lord daily in order to grow in the life of grace. These reflections The Banquet of the Soul by Fr. Anthony Akinlolu offer the sojourner a spiritual insight on the path to holiness. The essence of this journey with the Lord for the Christian, as Fr. Anthony rightly reflects upon, is not simply overcoming the self but becoming like Christ. God calls us to be holy as he is holy, and in the Church's celebration of the holy seasons of the year, Jesus is present and bestows on us the graces we need in striving to be holy. For that grace to be effective and bear fruit, the recipient must fully cooperate. Rev. Benedict Faneye, OP, PhD.

Publisher: Hyperion
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
"When factory worker Dan Dong accidentally discovers how easy it is to infiltrate state- and corporate-sponsored banquets by posing as a journalist, he quickly becomes addicted to the insane luxury of these meals. For the first time, he tastes crab-claw tips, exotic fungi, and a dish made from thousands of pigeon tongues arranged in the shape of a chrysanthemum. But when Dan's disguise enables him to become privy to a deep-rooted scandal, his conscience compels him to cross the line between subterfuge and reality by actually writing an expose. With the help of the witty, jaded reporter Happy Gao, Dan embarks on a journey that will take him from the highest rungs of society to its most sordid depths." "Throughout the book, food - from the spicy, oily fare Dan orders for a high-class prostitute at a restaurant called Pink Chamber, to the humble noodle dishes prepared by his long-suffering wife, Little Plum - is present on almost every page, described so vividly that you can almost smell and taste it. But by the final page of The Banquet Bug, it has become clear that the perils of consumption run parallel to its pleasures."--BOOK JACKET.
