  • Complete Stories by Franz Kafka
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka Back Cover: "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

This is Aesop’s fable about a fast Hare (rabbit) who liked to make fun of a slow Tortoise. Set in Florida, down at the beach, all the animals are Florida wildlife including Gopher Tortoise. Tired of being teased about his slow pace, Tortoise challenges Hare to a race, with all the nearby animals to cheer them on. Once the race begins, Hare is so sure he will win the race, he stops for a snack, and then for a nap. Meanwhile Tortoise keeps going, keeping his eye on the finish line and letting nothing distract him. Just before Tortoise is about to finish the race, Hare wakes up and with a burst of speed tries to beat Tortoise. But he is too late! Tortoise wins the race.

  • Year 2: Quarter 2
    Catholic SchoolhouseTM Dialectic Level Tutor Guide Year 2: Quarter 2 by Kathy Rabideau Quarter 2 Background Information Language Arts (Literature): Aesop’s Fables— Setting: The fables attributed to Aesop were actually composed over the course of many centuries. Aesop is a semi legendary figure, about whom various stories have been told. All that can be known with any certainty about Aesop is that he was a Phrygian slave who was later freed by his Greek master because of the wit and charm of his stories. All other details about Aesop’s life appear to have been invented after his death. Aesop’s Fables—Plot: As mentioned, Aesop was a slave in ancient Greece. He was a keen observer of both animals and people. Most of the characters in his stories are animals, some of which take on human characteristic and are personified in ways of speech and emotions. However, the majority of his character retain their animalistic qualities; tortoise are slow, hares are quick, tigers eat bird, etc. Aesop uses these qualities and natural tendencies of animals to focus on human traits and wisdom. Each fable has an accompanying moral to be learned from the tale. Religion: Aesop’s Fables—Summary: Each week, you will read and discuss multiple fables using Aesop’s Fables. (Use: https://books.google.com/ books?id=UO0pAQAAMAAJ ) 1. Read the fables one by one. (Do not read the moral listed in the fable until after they have thought of a moral in their own words.) 2. Have the students put the moral in their own words (no more than one sentence in length—see example ideas in parentheses in your weekly plans.

  • Marriage, Inheritance, and Family Discord: French Elite and the Transformation of the Polish Szlachta
    Blackburn: Marriage, Inheritance, and Family Discord 2 WORLD HISTORY REVIEW / Summer 2004 MARRIAGE, INHERITANCE, AND FAmily DISCORD: FRENCH ELITE AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE POLISH SZLACHTA by Christopher Blackburn [M. Damon to M. Wisdom] As to philosophy, you should know that our present age is one of enlightenment. Along with English frock coats, philosophy has come into vogue. In the boudoirs of the most fashionable ladies, right next to embroidery hoops and face powder you will find volumes of M. Rousseau, the philosophical works of Voltaire, and other writings of that sort. —Ignacy Krasicki (1776) Several important themes permeate Monsieur Damon’s instruc- tions to his aristocratic pupil. Most significant is not that Poland was a part of the general European Enlightenment, but that Polish enlight- ened thought resided primarily within “fashionable” elite circles and was ultimately based on the writings of the French philosophes. The wholesale acceptance of French culture brought a clear and conscious change to the szlachta’s traditionally Sarmatian character, while at the same time the szlachta family was unconsciously transformed by the more subtle Western notions of kinship and affective individual- ism, a process that culminated with the reign of the last enlightened despot—Napoleon Bonaparte.2 The mentalité of the Polish nobility was recast in the eighteenth century as its membership embraced selectively certain aspects of both the Enlightenment and ancien régime France. The piecemeal acceptance of these ideas by the traditionally Sarmatian nobility led to the evolution of an ideology resembling Enlightened Sarmatianism—one that embraced formal education, individualism, and Western appearance, which coexisted with agrarianism, anti-urbanism, and devotion to the Church.3 Once again the szlachta displayed its paradoxical nature by Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2003 1 World History Review, Vol.
