Sinopsis

In "An Author's Mind: The Book of Title-pages," Martin Farquhar Tupper explores the intricate relationship between literary creation and its presentation. Tupper employs a unique blend of introspective prose and structured verse to dissect the concepts of authorship, identity, and the role of aesthetic in literature. This work, characterized by its reflective tone and meticulous attention to typographical design, highlights the importance of title-pages as both artistic expressions and gateways to the text. Set within the context of 19th-century literature, Tupper's profound insights echo the emerging romantic sensibilities, challenging readers to consider the significance of form alongside content. Martin Farquhar Tupper (1810–1889) was a celebrated English poet and essayist whose intellectual engagements frequently revolved around the nature of writing and its cultural implications. His background in law and his exposure to various literary circles deeply influenced his philosophy of writing, prompting him to contemplate the intricacies of literary craftsmanship. Tupper's innovative perspectives on authorship were, in part, a response to the shifting literary paradigms of his time, allowing him to carve a niche for himself within the Victorian literary landscape. "An Author's Mind" is a must-read for those intrigued by the intersections of art, literature, and authorship. Tupper's sophisticated analysis invites readers not only to appreciate the visual and conceptual beauty of title-pages but also to ponder the profound questions surrounding creativity and identity in the literary world. This book serves both scholars and casual readers, illuminating the vital role of presentation in the artistic endeavor.

How to Talk About Love - An...

Plato

What is love? In poetry, songs, fiction, movies, psychology, and philosophy, love has been described, admired, lamented, and dissected in endless ways. Is love based on physical attraction? Does it bring out our better selves? How does it relate to sex? Is love divine? Plato's Symposium is one of the oldest, most influential, and most profound explorations of such questions—it is even the source of the idea of "Platonic love." How to Talk about Love introduces and presents the key passages and central ideas of Plato's philosophical dialogue in a lively new translation. 
 
 
 
The Symposium is set at a fictional drinking party during which prominent Athenians engage in a friendly competition by delivering improvised speeches in praise of Eros, the Greek god of love and sex. The aristocrat Phaedrus, the legal expert Pausanias, the physician Eryximachus, the comic playwright Aristophanes, and the tragic poet Agathon—each by turn celebrates different aspects of love before Socrates proposes not to praise love but to tell the truth about it. In the final speech, the politician and libertine Alcibiades argues that Socrates himself is the epitome of love. 
 
 
 
Deftly capturing the essence and spirit of Plato's masterpiece, How to Talk about Love makes the Symposium more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.
