Sinossi

Ovid Narrative Method explores how Ovid's narrative techniques, particularly in Metamorphoses, reflect and shape the dynamic cultural landscape of the Roman world. The book investigates identity formation and cultural transition through Ovid's sophisticated storytelling. Ovid's use of metamorphosis – both physical and emotional – is examined as a central organizing principle. Intriguingly, Ovid challenges traditional Roman values by exploring alternative models of identity and navigating cultural boundaries through the lens of classical mythology. This academic work is structured around three key topics: the poetics of metamorphosis, the representation of identity, and the negotiation of cultural boundaries within the Roman Empire. The book's approach involves close readings of Ovid's texts, supported by scholarship in classical studies and literary theory. For example, the analysis considers how Ovid's characters grapple with selfhood and social status amidst societal shifts. The book unfolds systematically, beginning with an introduction to Ovid's life and works. Subsequent chapters delve into the core themes, culminating in a broader discussion of Ovid's narrative strategies and their implications for understanding identity and cultural transition across various contexts, enriching our understanding of Roman literature and cultural history.

Holy Wars - 3000 Years of...

Gary L. Rashba

Holy Wars describes three thousand years of war in the Holy Land with the unique approach of focusing on pivotal battles or campaigns, beginning with the Israelites' capture of Jericho and ending with Israel's last full-fledged assault against Lebanon. Its chapters stop along the way to examine key battles fought by the Philistines, Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Crusaders, and Mamluks—the latter clash, at Ayn Jalut, comprising the first time the Mongols suffered a decisive defeat. 
 
 
  
The modern era saw the rise of the Ottomans and an incursion by Napoleon, who only found bloody stalemate outside the walls of Akko. The Holy Land became a battlefield again in World War I when the British fought the Turks. The nation of Israel was forged in conflict during its 1948 War of Independence, and subsequently found itself in desperate combat, often against great odds, in 1956 and 1967, and again in 1973, when it was surprised by a massive two-pronged assault. 
 
 
  
By focusing on the climax of each conflict, while carefully setting each stage, Holy Wars examines an extraordinary breadth of military history—spanning in one volume the evolution of warfare over the centuries, as well as the enduring status of the Holy Land as a battleground.

The New Female Antihero - The...

Gillian Silverman, Sarah Hagelin

The New Female Antihero examines the hard-edged spies, ruthless queens, and entitled slackers of twenty-first-century television.
The last ten years have seen a shift in television storytelling toward increasingly complex storylines and characters. In this study, Sarah Hagelin and Gillian Silverman zoom in on a key figure in this transformation: the archetype of the female antihero. Far from the sunny, sincere, plucky persona once demanded of female characters, the new female antihero is often selfish and deeply unlikeable.
In this entertaining and insightful study, Hagelin and Silverman explore the meanings of this profound change in the role of women characters. In the dramas of the new millennium, they show, the female antihero is ambitious, conniving, even murderous; in comedies, she is self-centered, self-sabotaging, and anti-aspirational. Across genres, these female protagonists eschew the part of good girl or role model. In their rejection of social responsibility, female antiheroes thus represent a more profound threat to the status quo than do their male counterparts. From the devious schemers of Game of Thrones, The Americans, Scandal, and Homeland, to the joyful failures of Girls, Broad City, Insecure, and SMILF, female antiheroes register a deep ambivalence about the promises of liberal feminism. They push back against the myth of the modern-day super-woman—she who “has it all”—and in so doing, they give us new ways of imagining women’s lives in contemporary America.

The Kreutzer Sonata - A Dark...

Leo Tolstoy, Tim Zengerink

What if your love story ended not in romance—but in murder? 
The Kreutzer Sonata is Leo Tolstoy’s explosive confession of a man undone by love. On a quiet train ride, a fellow passenger shares the dark tale of his marriage—one that spiraled from desire into mistrust, jealousy, and eventually, an unthinkable crime. 
In this modern translation, Tolstoy’s intense meditation on passion, marriage, and morality is presented with emotional depth and gripping clarity. A powerful short novel that holds nothing back. 
What You’ll Hear in This Adaptation: 
- A deeply personal, psychological descent into obsessive jealousy and regret 
- A bold critique of love, marriage, and sexual hypocrisy 
- A modern, emotionally intense rendition of Tolstoy’s rawest novella 
- A tale of moral struggle that asks: Can love survive truth? 
Short in length but epic in its emotional and ethical impact, The Kreutzer Sonata will challenge what you think you know about love.
