Sinossi

Ezra Pound, a towering figure in 20th-century literature, left an indelible mark on the world of poetry. This comprehensive exploration delves into his life, work, and enduring legacy.

Pound's journey as a poet was marked by experimentation, innovation, and a relentless pursuit of beauty. He challenged conventional forms and structures, pushing the boundaries of poetic expression. His groundbreaking work, The Cantos, stands as a testament to his audacious spirit and his commitment to crafting a new poetic language.

Beyond his own poetic endeavors, Pound was a tireless advocate for his fellow writers. He served as a mentor to a generation of poets, including T.S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and Robert Frost. His keen eye for talent and his unwavering belief in the power of poetry left an indelible mark on the literary world.

This book explores the complexities of Pound's character, his struggles with mental illness, and his controversial political views. It also delves into his profound understanding of history, culture, and mythology, which he skillfully wove into his poetic tapestry.

From his early years in Pennsylvania to his time in London and Paris, Pound's journey was marked by both triumphs and tribulations. He experienced the exhilaration of critical acclaim and the despair of censorship and imprisonment. Yet, through it all, his passion for poetry remained undimmed.

Pound's legacy extends far beyond his own lifetime. His influence can be seen in the works of countless poets who came after him, and his ideas continue to shape the way we think about poetry and its role in society. This book is an invitation to delve into the mind and art of Ezra Pound, a poet who left an enduring imprint on the world of literature.

Gen X Pittsburgh - The Beehive...

David Rullo

Beginning in the early 1990s, Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood began to transform from the post-industrial morass it had been suffering for the last few decades. Artists began to rent empty apartments, what were once shot-and-a-beer bars became hip dive bars and entrepreneurs found inexpensive real estate to follow their visions. It was in this landscape that the Beehive Coffeehouse began to attract a new 90s alternative crowd.
East Carson Street was soon home to not just coffeehouses but Slacker, Dee's Cafe, Culture Shop, Club Laga and the Lava Lounge. Across a bridge, in the university community of Oakland, The Upstage, Electric Banana and another Beehive catered to the new youth culture. Cappuccinos, thrift shop culture, grunge music, local alternative bands, artists, writers and creative denizens of all stripes would soon enter the city's collective conscious. The South Side Beehive though was where the night often began, and weekends ended.

Great Powers Club The: The...

Charles River Editors

By the time of Egypt’s Nineteenth Dynasty, the Egyptians had created a vast empire that stretched from what would be the modern region of northern Sudan in the south to southern Syria in the north (Kuhrt 2010, 1:185). With control of such a vast empire, the Egyptians were able to export valuable minerals such as gold and silver, which were much rarer in the other Near Eastern kingdoms, and imported horses, timber, and chariots that they used to build their impressive military. A chronological examination of ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom reveals the process in which Egypt transitioned from a regional kingdom to an international empire. The examination will demonstrate that the New Kingdom was a fairly complex system that brought about several changes in pharaonic culture before ultimately collapsing.  
Compared to some of their contemporaries – including the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians – the Hittites were somewhat distant both culturally and geographically. The Hittites were an Indo-European speaking in an ocean of Afro-Asiatic and Semitic groups, their homeland was to the north of Mesopotamia, and it contained no major river like the Nile, Tigris, or Euphrates Rivers. The Hittite empire was also far less enduring than its neighbors, as it only existed from about 1800-1200 BCE (van de Mieroop 2007, 156), which was considerably shorter than most of the other major kingdoms of the Near East.  
Like a number of ancient individuals and empires in that region, the negative perception of ancient Assyrian culture was passed down through Biblical accounts, and regardless of the accuracy of the Bible’s depiction of certain events, the Assyrians clearly played the role of adversary for the Israelites. Indeed, Assyria (Biblical Shinar) and the Assyrian people played an important role in many books of the Old Testament and are first mentioned in the book of Genesis.

Chronicles of Crime Vol 1

Camden Pelham

This catalogue of human weakness and at times downright atrocity has been brought together by Camden Pelham, a barrister-at-law of the Inner Temple during the second half of the 19th century. It is given in chronological order, the first case listed is from 1700, and the final case in Volume 1 being in 1816. Some of the most famous cases of the age are listed, from Dick Turpin and Captain Kidd, to the assassination of Spencer Perceval MP, and the Luddites. Some cases will shock with descriptions of horrific murders, whilst others will amuse with the idiocy of the perpetrators. These 275 cases give a fascinating insight into life during 18th and 19th century Britain. (Summary by Kevin Green)
