Book Description
Richimond Lattimore's elegant and exceptionally faithful line-by-line translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey introduced these classics to a new audience of English readers. Now The Chicago Homer presents an easily searchable, web-accessible database of Homer in the original and in Lattimore's translations. The Greek texts of the Homeric Hymns and the poems of Hesiod are also included, along with English translations by Daryl Hine, providing students and scholars with unparalleled access to the whole of Early Greek epic. In addition to providing Greek and English texts in an interlinear display, The Chicago Homer gives complete information (tense, mood, voice, case, gender, and number) on the morphology of each Greek word. Invaluable for students learning Greek, this information is also important to researchers investigating the frequency or distribution of grammatical phenomena; only The Chicago Homer provides these data in readily searchable electronic form. But the most distinctive feature of The Chicago Homer is its ability to analyze and display the wealth of repeated phrases -- such as" rosy-fingered dawn" and "swift-footed Achilles" -- that are considered to be the hallmark of Homeric poetry. For the first time in any medium, The Chicago Homer presents a complete index of all repeated phrases in Early Greek epic. These phrases may be sorted by a number of criteria, including length, frequency, who spoke them, and the words they contain. Most impor

Tomas and the Library Lady
Author: Pat Mora
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 0593378288
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 21
Book Description
A Common Core Exemplar Text by an award-winning author-illustrator team Tomás is a son of migrant workers. Every summer he and his family follow the crops north from Texas to Iowa, spending long, arduous days in the fields. At night they gather around to hear Grandfather's wonderful stories. But before long, Tomás knows all the stories by heart. "There are more stories in the library,"Papa Grande tells him. The very next day, Tomás meets the library lady and a whole new world opens up for him. Based on the true story of the Mexican-American author and educator Tomás Rivera, a child of migrant workers who went on to become the first minority Chancellor in the University of California system, this inspirational story suggests what libraries--and education--can make possible. Raul Colón's warm, expressive paintings perfectly interweave the harsh realities of Tomás's life, the joyful imaginings he finds in books, and his special relationships with a wise grandfather and a caring librarian. "A gentle text and innovative artwork. . . . While young readers and future librarians will find this an inspiring tale, the end note gives it a real kick: the story is based on an actual migrant worker [Tomás Rivera] who became chancellor of a university--where the library now bears his name."--Publishers Weekly
