  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end 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. Page 1 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.

  • The Calendar in Revolutionary France : Perceptions of Time in Literature, Culture, Politics / Sanja Perovic
    THE C A LENDA R IN REVOLUTIONARY FRANCE One of the most unusual decisions of the leaders of the French Revolution – and one that had immense practical as well as symbolic impact – was to abandon customarily accepted ways of calculating date and time to create a revolutionary calendar. The experiment lasted from 1793 to 1805 and prompted all sorts of questions about the nature of time, ways of measuring it and its relationship to indi- vidual, community, communication and creative life. This study traces the course of the revolutionary calendar, from its cultural ori- gins to its decline and fall. Tracing the parallel stories of the calen- dar and the literary genius of its creator, Sylvain Maréchal, from the Enlightenment to the Napoleonic era, Sanja Perovic reconsiders the status of the French Revolution as the purported ‘origin’ of modern- ity, the modern experience of time and the relationship between the imagination and political action. sanja perovic is Lecturer in the French Department at King’s College London.

    H-France Review Volume 6 (2006) Page 82 H-France Review Vol. 6 (March 2006), No. 18 David Andress, The Terror: The Merciless War for Freedom in Revolutionary France. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2006. 441 pp. Figures, maps, notes, and index. $26.00. ISBN 0-374-27341-3. Review by Paul R. Hanson, Butler University. In his ambitious new book, The Terror: The Merciless War for Freedom in Revolutionary France, David Andress sets out to bring a reasoned perspective to this most emotional and controversial of topics. He places the French Reign of Terror not only in the context of the French Revolution writ large, but also in the context of the violence of modern war and our current War on Terror. It is a work of synthesis, not a work based on original scholarship, addressed to a broad reading public. Because of that intended audience, the book becomes an extended narrative of the Revolution, paying particular attention to those events and policies that bore directly, or indirectly, on the Terror proper. Thus, one is more than 100 pages into the book before reaching the Terror itself. The title, then, is a bit misleading, although the subtitle does point to the central paradox that Andress sees as lying at the heart of Revolutionary politics: the Terror stifled freedom in the name of protecting it. Andress sketches out his perspective on the Terror quite clearly in the Introduction to the book. Old Regime France was a violent society, and the monarchy could be brutal in its application of justice.

  • Inuit Tales of Terror: the Location of Franklin’S Missing Ship
    © David C. Woodman 2016 Inuit Tales of Terror: The location of Franklin’s missing ship The discovery of the wreck of the Franklin expedition vessel HMS Erebus in September 2014 garnered world-wide attention and well-deserved praise for the skill and perseverance of the Parks Canada-led team that discovered it. It was universally attested that the preserved nineteenth-century traditions of the Inuit inhabitants of the area were essential in the discovery, providing through their remembrances the search area in which the wreck was eventually located. This summer the same team will return to the arctic in continuing pursuit of Franklin's other ship - HMS Terror. Surprisingly, very little consideration is being given to the clues embedded in the same traditional narratives as to the location of that second vessel. This article attempts to investigate the reasons for this, and re-evaluates the Inuit testimony for any clues that could lead to the discovery of this second significant shipwreck. The Inuit testimony concerning the wreck of HMS Erebus was, if not entirely straightforward, fairly consistent. Two known geographical features were repeatedly mentioned in relation to that shipwreck, Grant Point and O'Reilly Island, in an area west of the Adelaide Peninsula called "Utjulik." As these two points were approximately twenty five kilometers apart this still left a very large and daunting area in which to search, and it was only after decades of painstaking effort by a succession of teams that the prize was attained. As it turned out the wreck was found almost halfway between the two points.

  • The Interpretation of Dreams Sigmund Freud (1900)
    The Interpretation of Dreams Sigmund Freud (1900) PREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION Wheras there was a space of nine years between the first and second editions of this book, the need of a third edition was apparent when little more than a year had elapsed. I ought to be gratified by this change; but if I was unwilling previously to attribute the neglect of my work to its small value, I cannot take the interest which is now making its appearance as proof of its quality. The advance of scientific knowledge has not left The Interpretation of Dreams untouched. When I wrote this book in 1899 there was as yet no "sexual theory," and the analysis of the more complicated forms of the psychoneuroses was still in its infancy. The interpretation of dreams was intended as an expedient to facilitate the psychological analysis of the neuroses; but since then a profounder understanding of the neuroses has contributed towards the comprehension of the dream. The doctrine of dream-interpretation itself has evolved in a direction which was insufficiently emphasized in the first edition of this book. From my own experience, and the works of Stekel and other writers, [1] I have since learned to appreciate more accurately the significance of symbolism in dreams (or rather, in unconscious thought). In the course of years, a mass of data has accumulated which demands consideration. I have endeavored to deal with these innovations by interpolations in the text and footnotes. If these additions do not always quite adjust themselves to the framework of the treatise, or if the earlier text does not everywhere come up to the standard of our present knowledge, I must beg indulgence for this deficiency, since it is only the result and indication of the increasingly rapid advance of our science.
