Snakes Curiosities & Wonders of Serpent Life Cosimo Classics
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
Originally published in 1882, Snakes: Curiosities & Wonders of Serpent Life, by naturalist and artist Catherine Hopley, is a fascinating examination of the snake, from anatomy and biology, to common myths, to individual species and habits, and even speculation on "the great sea serpents." In the late 19th century, snakes were considered mysterious, evil creatures, stained from the sin in the Garden of Eden. Hopley's careful study shed new light on creatures long-thought to be vicious and deadly. In a new introduction, cryptozoologist Loren Coleman comments, "The mystery of snakes and the passion many of us experience among the serpents may seem commonplace enough today, but when this masterpiece appeared over a hundred years ago, in 1882, it was a remarkable event. The result was an interesting and scientifically insightful book on the curiosities of serpent life. It mixed Hopley's keen sense for observations and facts with her wonderful illustrations."This new edition, a replica of the original 1882 edition and complete with original illustrations, is part of Cosimo Classic's Loren Coleman Presents series. LOREN COLEMAN is the author of numerous books on cryptozoology, including Bigfoot!: The True Story of Apes in America and Mothman and Other Curious Encounters.CATHERINE COOPER HOPLEY was an artist, author, and naturalist from the late 19th century.

Arabic-Andalusian Poetry and the Rise of the European Love-Lyric Strategic Book Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The idea of this book goes back to the author's college days in the Department of Foreign Languages in Baghdad, where he learned that English poetry developed under the influence of foreign types of poetry, including classical, medieval, and Renaissance. He began to wonder whether Arabic poetry had a role in that development, especially in the love lyric, its main aspect. He researched during a sabbatical year in 1971-1972 in Cambridge, UK, and collected more material during summer vacations and conferences in Europe. By 2010, he had enough material to write this book and a probable second edition. The book covers European poetry in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, especially the rise of the first poetry in non-Latin, and on non-ecclesiastical subjects as seen in the love lyrics of the troubadours. The 12th-century troubadour love lyric shows a clear influence of Arabic-Andalusian poetry, especially the new and non-European attitude to love and women. This new poetry spread to Sicily, Italy, and was popularized by Dante and his disciples. A further development reached England in the 16th century, best represented by Shakespeare. 'Abdulwahid Lu'lu'a graduated with a B.A. (Hons.) English (Licence čs Lettres) in Baghdad in 1952. He won a scholarship to Harvard, receiving an Ed.M. English in 1957. He won another scholarship to Western Reserve University in Cleveland, receiving his Ph.D. in English literature in 1962. He taught at seven Arab universities, published 12 books in Arabic, and 42 books of translations in English/Arabic/English, all on literary subjects. His most recent book is Shakespeare's Sonnets (2013), Arabic translation and commentary. Publisher's website: http://sbprabooks.com/AbdulwahidLulua
