Sinossi

In "The Photoplay: A Psychological Study," Hugo Münsterberg delves into the burgeoning medium of film, examining its psychological implications and artistic potential. Writing in the early 20th century, Münsterberg employs a blend of psychological theory and aesthetic critique, articulating how the photoplay evokes emotional responses from viewers akin to those inspired by literature and theater. His meticulous analysis covers various aspects of cinematic technique, from illusion and visual perception to narrative structure, positioning film as a legitimate art form that shapes and reflects human experience. Hugo Münsterberg was a prominent psychologist and philosopher who served on the faculty of Harvard University. His background in psychology and interest in the arts informed his belief that cinema could be both an expressive medium and a psychological phenomenon. His experience as a contemporary of early film pioneers, alongside his commitment to understanding the interplay between mind and art, provides a rich foundation for the insights presented in this work. This book is a must-read for cinephiles, psychologists, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and human perception. Münsterberg's thought-provoking exploration encourages readers to contemplate the deeper significance of film, making a compelling case for its importance in 20th-century cultural discourse.

Aphrodite: Captivating Greek...

Matt Clayton

Did you know that Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was also associated with the sea? 
Born from a strange mixture of divine blood, severed genitals, and seafoam, Aphrodite washed up on the shores of Cyprus long before the emergence of her fellow Olympians. A figure who is as petty as she is relatable, she is not only a key deity of the Greek pantheon, but she is also a central figure in many of the myths we know and love today. 
With influences possibly rooted in the goddesses Ishtar and Astarte, there are scholars who believe that the concept of Aphrodite was imported to Greece from the Middle East or West Asia. Contact between cultures might have led to her incorporation into the main Greek pantheon, with her foreign origins explaining some of the regional differences regarding her birth and personality. While her connections to beauty and love are her most well-known attributes, places like Sparta and Cyprus also viewed her as a war goddess. 
This audiobook focuses on myths that are either centered around Aphrodite or feature her as an important character. Because of her volatile nature and quick temper, Aphrodite could just as often be a force for good as she could be a force for evil. While it would be impossible to gather all the different stories related to Aphrodite in their entirety in one collection, this audiobook provides a nice, if somewhat modest, the assortment of narratives that display different facets of this fascinatingly complex goddess. 
Some of the myths you’ll discover in this audiobook are:Aphrodite’s birth and unexpected marriageThe life and death of AdonisHow Psyche and Eros’ love defied divine wrathPygmalion’s arrogance and his unusual mistressThe beginnings of the greatest war ever fought
