  The Birth of Tragedy

  Friedrich Nietzsche, John Van Stan

  • 0
  • 0
  • 0

  A compelling argument for the necessity for art in life, Nietzsche's first book is fuelled by his enthusiasms for Greek tragedy, for the philosophy of Schopenhauer and for the music of Wagner, to whom this work was dedicated. Nietzsche outlined a distinction between its two central forces: the Apolline, representing beauty and order, and the Dionysiac, a primal or ecstatic reaction to the sublime. He believed the combination of these states produced the highest forms of music and tragic drama, which not only reveal the truth about suffering in life, but also provide a consolation for it. Impassioned and exhilarating in its conviction, The Birth of Tragedy has become a key text in European culture and in literary criticism.

  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Ratatouille is an animated film that follows Remy, a rat with a passion for cooking, living in the sewers of Paris. Inspired by his idol, the famous chef Auguste Gusteau, Remy dreams of becoming a top chef. He forms an unlikely partnership with Alfredo Linguini, a clumsy young man working as a garbage boy at Gusteau’s restaurant. Together, they navigate the challenges of the culinary world, blending Remy’s culinary genius with Linguini’s ability to pass as a talented chef. The film explores themes of following one's dreams, defying expectations, and the power of teamwork. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Pet rats were kept at the studio in the hallway for more than a year so that the animators could study the movement of their fur, noses, ears, paws, and tails.” 
    
  “Marketing tie-ins proved to be problematic for this movie, as no food product company wanted to be associated with a rat.” 
    
  “In France, where this movie is set, the movie broke the record for the biggest debut for an animated movie.” 
    
  “Remy (Patton Oswalt) has 1.15 million hairs rendered, whereas Colette (Janeane Garofalo) has 115,000 hairs rendered. An average person has about 110,000 hairs.”

  A glorious global celebration of modern railway architecture in the mid-20th century and beyond.
  Many railway books are about nostalgia for the steam age, but this one is different: a global study of railway architecture from the 1950s onwards and into the future. In 50 fascinating entries, renowned travel and architecture writer Christopher Beanland looks primarily at stations but also covers starkly brutalist signal boxes and depots, charming art-adorned undergrounds and international examples of pioneering signage and design.
  Station explores LA's iconic Union Station, the verdant Atocha Station in Madrid and Warsaw's spectacular modernist stations, but it also includes less familiar examples such as Saudi Arabia's high-speed Haramain Line, the joyous monorail at Walt Disney World Resort and Mexico's anticipated Tren Maya. The book also contains essays on topics including hanging railways in Germany and Japan, the intriguing architecture and design of Berlin's U-Bahn stations and the joy of interrailing.
  Illustrated with glorious photographs throughout, this stylish and contemporary book is a celebration of modern railway architecture at its best and will appeal to rail enthusiasts and architecture aficionados alike.

  How I Found the Lost Atlantis!...

  Dr. Paul Schliemann

  • 0

  The article on which this audio book is based was published in the 'New York American' on October 20th, 1912.  
  The author, Dr. Paul Schliemann, was the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann (1822 - 1890), a founder of modern archaeology. In this famous archaeological hoax he makes outrageous and sensational claims about the lost continent Atlantis, and his grandfather’s research.  
  The text was written in an age when many of the Victorian adventure writers, like H. Rider Haggard in Britain, Emilio Salgari in Italy and Karl May in Germany topped reading lists. In 1912, the jungle calls of Tarzan echoed through American pulp magazines for the very first time.  
  Paul Schliemann capitalizes on the contemporary craze for his grandfather’s archaeological discoveries, for lost worlds and legendary characters like the queen of Sheba and Prester John. Since 1907, Howard Carter had been excavating in Egypt, and in 1922 Carter made his historical discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 
  Paul Schliemann’s article is highly entertaining, and features passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, gives a spirited performance of what has become a classic and much loved hoax in archaeological circles.
