Beschreibung

In "The Crisis of the Naval War: British Royal Navy in World War I," John Rushworth Jellicoe offers a meticulous examination of the Royal Navy's strategic operations during the Great War. Written with a blend of firsthand experience and analytical rigor, Jellicoe's prose combines narrative clarity with tactical detail, illuminating crucial events such as the Battle of Jutland. As a primary source from a pivotal wartime figure, the book situates Jellicoe's perspectives within the broader context of military strategy and naval history, reflecting on the challenges faced by naval leadership amid unprecedented global conflict. Jellicoe, who served as the commander of the Grand Fleet, draws upon his unique insights and experiences to illuminate the complexities of naval warfare. His firsthand involvement in key naval engagements, alongside his eventual shift into governmental roles, uniquely qualifies him to dissect the nuances of naval command. His upbringing in an era marked by rapid naval innovation and geopolitical tensions further fuels his engagement with the pressing issues of strategy and leadership during wartime. This work is an essential read for anyone interested in naval history, military strategy, or World War I. Jellicoe's authoritative voice provides not only a comprehensive analysis of the Royal Navy's wartime actions but also valuable lessons on command and decision-making that resonate with contemporary strategic studies.

    The Tao Te Ching, Daodejing, Dao De Jing, or Daode jing, also simply referred to as the Laozi, is a Chinese classic text. According to tradition, it was written around 6th century BC by the sage Laozi, a record-keeper at the Zhou dynasty court, by whose name the text is known in China. The text's true authorship and date of composition or compilation are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC.The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism, and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Daoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners, have used the Daodejing as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is among the most translated works in world literature.

    These are called ''' Poems from the Chinese"" and we have Mr. Waley's assurance that there are in existence Oriental originals. But if it be so (and, of course it is) then we have here a literary miracle. It is a platitude that translation of poetry is either bad verse or bad translation. But Mr. Waley, translating not merely from one language into another, but almost from one planet into another, has produced a body of living poetry, in which there is every reason to believe he re-creates, without distorting, the Chinese poets. This is an unparalleled feat. But as we are, with about six exceptions in the whole of Great Britain, incapable of comparing the English and the Chinese, we must address ourselves to these poems as though they had been written by an Englishman of the twentieth century, and judge them on that basis. It is a severe test to apply to translations, but Mr. Waley emerges from it serenely victorious. Indeed, serenity is the keynote of all this work—the serenity of assured mastery in a difficult medium but still more of outlook. The beauty with which these poems are. inlaid is fundamentally a wise beauty and the wisdom is as much in the shape of Mr. Waley's mind as in that of China. There is no need to hurry here. Wisdom goes at an even pace, and has time between her penetrations of the stars to observe the smallest things of life. Her leisurely glance sweeps over them with patient gold, and they settle, almost without a sigh, into decoration and into pattern. We have lost {and the Chinese have lost) the secret of their enamels of the great periods. But Mr. Waley has private access to them, and his poems, varnished with just that cool and even certainty of paint and texture, achieve one filial translation— the translation of colour into speech. -- Humbert Wolfe.
