![]() ![]() Dick Davis is an award-winning poet and a prominent Persian scholar and translator. Along with Peter Avery, Dick Davis and his wife Afkham Darbandi have produced the first two complete and rather accurate translations. These works are in conversation with Attar’s poem, bringing fresh and multifarious interpretations while building new homes for it in English. Here, I will take a short survey of more recent translations and adaptations. ![]() The National Endowment for the Humanities selected the work as a free book for the public libraries as part of its Bridging Cultures project.Īll the retranslations and adaptations point to the rising importance of Attar’s poem in the English language. Excerpts of the poem are included in many collections, such as Norton Anthology of World Literature. In recent decades, Farid ud-Din Attar’s 12th-century Persian masterpiece, Manṭeq al-ṭayr, has been the source for three new and revised translations, three illustrated adaptations (two for children), two expensive art books, and a number of theater and film adaptations. As a translator, I am very interested in the way a translated text becomes part of another culture’s literature. ![]()

Big Money by James Hudson6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In addition to the original compositions by composer Henry Krieger and lyricist/librettist Tom Eyen, four new songs, composed by Krieger with various lyricists, were added for the film. The film adaptation features an ensemble cast, starring Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé Knowles and Eddie Murphy with Jennifer Hudson, Danny Glover, Anika Noni Rose and Keith Robinson in supporting roles. The story follows the history and evolution of American R&B music during the 1960s and 1970s through the eyes of a Detroit girl group known as "The Dreams" and their manipulative record executive. Adapted from the 1981 Broadway musical of the same name, Dreamgirls is a film à clef, a work of fiction taking strong inspiration from the history of the Motown record label and one of its acts, the Supremes.

The Tamaki cousins’ exploration of youth is compelling. Since its publication in 2014, the graphic novel has become a critically beloved member of the YA genre. Jillian and Mariko Tamaki’s This One Summer is a graphic novel that truly encapsulates the troubled, complicated world of adolescence its protagonist, Rose, is a girl around thirteen who spends her summers at her family’s cottage near Awago Beach, swimming, drinking “pop” (native New Yorker here, so calling it anything other than soda feels alien to me), and watching horror movies with her younger friend, Windy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Web so how many official chapters of wotakoi are there now that the manga is completed?

Because so many books on Wittgenstein have been published since his death in 1951, most of these pictures have been reproduced many times and have thus become very familiar. ![]() It is possible to be fairly sure which pictures McGinn has in mind here, since there are relatively few surviving photographs of the great philosopher and, of those, only a handful show him looking straight into the camera. You feel the excitement and peril of an encounter with the man. If you stare hard at the face, it seems to shift aspect from one of these poles to the other…. The look is simultaneously delicate and military, tender and ferocious. They are imploring eyes yet with an intense rage flaring just behind the iris, sending off an unnerving blend of supplication and admonition…. ![]() “Perhaps the best place to begin trying to understand Wittgenstein’s character,” the British philosopher Colin McGinn once remarked, “is with the photographs that exist of his face.” Looking into Wittgenstein’s eyes, McGinn went on, it is hard to meet his gaze for very long: Ludwig Wittgenstein, Swansea, Wales, September 1947 Ben Richards/Wittgenstein Archive, Cambridge ![]() The bride test series6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Goodreads/ Amazon/ Barnes & Noble The Bride Test by Helen Hoang Title & Author: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang Genre: Contemporary Romance Release Date: Publisher: Berkley Series Details: Companion Novel Page Count: 296 pages Rating : □□□.5 STARS Thank you so much to Berkley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review. ![]() Some of these books might get expanded reviews in future weeks, but for now here’s a look at what I’ve been reading lately!įIRST UP?

But when one of those notesto Joan, across the streetincites that elusive woman to abandon her family for far more exotic locales, Eliza seems really to go off the deep end. The neighbors have always considered Eliza Peabody eccentric, with with her loudly voiced opinions, fearless stride, and the pious, admonishing notes she distributes for their enlightenment and edification. The 1991 Whitbread Award winner, by the English author of Crusoe's Daughter (1986), etc., sardonically traces the steady fall (or is it rise?) into madness of a suburban wife with too little to do and too many horrors to shut out of her mind. ![]() No more excuses bible study6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() See hard circumstances as opportunities for growth.

What leads up to it is a pretty standard 'race of gods are regular people and need to be reminded who they are' story. The ending issue is actually the only interesting chapter in this story, I'd argue. is a book that ends much stronger than it begins. Flash forward to 2006: Superstar creators Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr. Gaiman's run was my first exposure to The Eternals, so speaking from someone who wasn't aware of Kirby's run (at the time) I enjoyed it and helped me understand the backstory of the Marvel universe and thanks to some googling and wiki page checking I learnt how complex it's history is, with the whole Skrulls are deviants of that race, etc stuff.
