Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship
by Dr Helen Lund Helen S. LundAlthough shortlived, Lysimachus' Hellespontine empire foreshadowed those of Pergamum and Byzantium. Lund's book sets his actions significantly within the context of the volatile early Hellenistic world and views them as part of a continuum of imperial rule in Asia minor. She challenges the assumption that he was a vicious, but ultimately incompetent tyrant.
Lysis
by PlatoNo answer is given in the Lysis to the question, ‘What is Friendship?’ any more than in the Charmides to the question, ‘What is Temperance?’ There are several resemblances in the two Dialogues: the same youthfulness and sense of beauty pervades both of them; they are alike rich in the description of Greek life. The question is again raised of the relation of knowledge to virtue and good, which also recurs in the Laches; and Socrates appears again as the elder friend of the two boys, Lysis and Menexenus. In the Charmides, as also in the Laches, he is described as middle-aged; in the Lysis he is advanced in years. The Dialogue consists of two scenes or conversations which seem to have no relation to each other. The first is a conversation between Socrates and Lysis, who, like Charmides, is an Athenian youth of noble descent and of great beauty, goodness, and intelligence: this is carried on in the absence of Menexenus, who is called away to take part in a sacrifice. Socrates asks Lysis whether his father and mother do not love him very much? ‘To be sure they do.’ ‘Then of course they allow him to do exactly as he likes.’ ‘Of course not: the very slaves have more liberty than he has.’ ‘But how is this?’ ‘The reason is that he is not old enough.’ ‘No; the real reason is that he is not wise enough: for are there not some things which he is allowed to do, although he is not allowed to do others?’ ‘Yes, because he knows them, and does not know the others.’ This leads to the conclusion that all men everywhere will trust him in what he knows, but not in what he does not know; for in such matters he will be unprofitable to them, and do them no good. And no one will love him, if he does them no good; and he can only do them good by knowledge; and as he is still without knowledge, he can have as yet no conceit of knowledge. In this manner Socrates reads a lesson to Hippothales, the foolish lover of Lysis, respecting the style of conversation which he should address to his beloved. After the return of Menexenus, Socrates, at the request of Lysis, asks him a new question: ‘What is friendship? You, Menexenus, who have a friend already, can tell me, who am always longing to find one, what is the secret of this great blessing.’
Lysistrata
by AristophanesAristophanes' play, Lysistrata, takes place toward the end of the Peloponnesian War and centers on the lives of the soldiers' wives. One woman, Lysistrata, under the impression that a man's libido is ultimately his driving force in life, comes up with an interesting peace solution: to deny their husbands sexual relations until they can settle on a peace agreement that will end the war. However, Lysistrata's strategy effectively creates even more war than before as the sexes begin to feud with each other. Aristophanes' play is both comic and poignant as it reveals the relationship between men and women in classical Athens society.

Lysistrata
by Aristophanes Sarah RudenThis rollicking new translation of Aristophanes' comic masterpiece is rendered in blank verse for dialogue and in lyric meters and free verse for the songs. Appended commentary essays--on Athenian democracy, ancient Greek warfare, Athenian women, and Greek Comedy--offer lively and informative discussions not only of Aristophanes, but of the broader fifth-century social, political, and cultural context as well.
Lysistrata
by AristophanesFirst presented in 411 B.C., this ancient comedy concerns the efforts of Lysistrata, an Athenian woman, to persuade other woman to join together in a strike against the men of Greece, denying them sex until they've agreed to put down their arms and end the disastrous wars between Athens and Sparta.When the strike begins, and the men respond, the comedic battle of the sexes that ensues makes this spirited play one of the most enjoyable of the classics. In it, Aristophanes employs a mixture of shrewd logic and raffish humor that fully exploits the rich comic potential of the story and its underlying antiwar sentiment. Always a favorite of audiences, Lysistrata, because of its pointed feminist sympathies, is studied and performed today more than ever.

by AristophanesThe Acharnians/The Clouds/Lysistrata'We women have the salvation of Greece in our hands'Writing at a time of political and social crisis in Athens, the ancient Greek comic playwright Aristophanes was an eloquent, yet bawdy, challenger to the demagogue and the sophist.

Lysistrata, The Women's Festival, and Frogs (Oklahoma Series in Classical Culture #Volume Forty-Two)
by Aristophanes Michael EwansMost readers nowadays encounter the plays of Aristophanes in the classroom, not the theater. Yet the "father of comedy" wrote his plays for the stage, not as literary texts. Many English translations of the plays were written decades ago, and in their outdated language, they fail to capture the dramatic liveliness of the original comedies. Now Michael Ewans offers new and lively translations of three of Aristophanes' finest plays: Lysistrata, The Women's Festival, and Frogs. While remaining faithful to the original Greek, these translations are accessible to a modern audience--and actable on stage. Here readers will discover--in all its uncensored glory--the often raw sexual and scatological language Aristophanes used in his fantastically inventive works. <p><p>This edition also contains all that a reader needs to understand the plays within a broader context. In his comprehensive introduction, Ewans discusses the political and social aspects of Aristophanic comedy, the conventions of Greek theater, and the challenges of translating ancient Greek into modern English. In his theatrical commentaries--a unique feature of this edition--Ewans draws on his own experience of directing the plays in a replica of the original theater. In scene-by-scene analysis, he provides insight into the major issues each play raises in performance. The volume concludes with two glossaries--one of proper names and the other of Greek terms--as well as a bibliography that includes the most recent scholarship on Aristophanic comedy.
Lysistrata, Women at the Thesmophoria, Frogs (Hackett Classics)
by Aristophanes"Arnson Svarlien's translation offers fresh insight into three of Aristophanes's greatest comedies. The verse flows smoothly, and throughout it is stressed that these plays belong on a stage, with guidance on how that might be accomplished. At the same time, the detailed Introduction and interpretative notes on every page show that both Arnson Svarlien and Storey are deeply committed to presenting a vibrant, modern Aristophanes, and to giving the tools needed for readers and actors to form their own opinions on matters of ongoing scholarly controversy." —C.W. Marshall, FRSC, Professor of Greek, The University of British Columbia
Lysistrata: A New Verse Translation
by AristophanesAristophanes, a native Athenian and the leading exponent of Greek comedy, was born c. 450 BCE. Today forty-three of his plays are known by title; eleven survive. The most famous of these is the whimsical fantasy Lysistrata. A perennial classroom and stage favorite as well as the basis of Spike Lee’s Chi-Raq, the play is as relevant today as it was 2,500 years ago. The premise is simplicity itself: to end the Peloponnesian War, women decide to withhold sex from their husbands until the fighting stops. The play is by turns raucous, bawdy, frantic, and funny. David Mulroy’s exciting new translation retains the original’s verse format, racy jokes, and vibrancy—setting it apart from previous efforts, which are typically reproduced as prose or depart from meaning and meter. His introduction offers a concise summary of Aristophanes’ life and social milieu, including a brief overview of the Peloponnesian War, which took place during the playwright’s lifetime. The appendices include guides on translating meter and Greek pronunciation for aspiring thespians.
Lysistrata: Clouds, Birds, Lysistrata, Women Of The Assembly (The Norton Library #0)
by AristophanesAbout Aaron Poochigian’s translation “Aristophanes was a funny, often obscene social commentator, and he was also a brilliantly fluent, wide-ranging poet, whose lyric rhythms were recited and sung to music, with dancing. It’s very rare for modern translators to convey his poetic virtuosity or make any attempt to bring his meters to life. But Aaron Poochigan has achieved this feat, crafting polymetric translations that convey the whole range of Aristophanes’ larger-than-life characters and provocative, alternative reality scenarios. This new translation is zany, sharp, inventive, vivacious, and surprisingly relevant for our times.” (Emily Wilson, translator of Homer’s Odyssey)
Lytton Strachey and the Search for Modern Sexual Identity: The Last Eminent Victorian
by Julie Anne TaddeoExamine Lytton Strachey’s struggle to create a new homosexual identity and voice through his life and work!This study of Lytton Strachey, one of the neglected voices of early twentieth-century England, uses his life and work to re-evaluate early British modernism and the relationship between Strachey’s sexual rebellion and literature.A perfect ancillary textbook for courses in history, literature, and women’s studies, Lytton Strachey and the Search for Modern Sexual Identity: The Last Eminent Victorian contributes to the expanding field of queer studies from an historian’s perspective. It looks at homosexuality through the eyes of Lytton Strachey as opposed to the too-often analyzed Oscar Wilde and E.M. Forster. Questioning the idea that homosexuality is a “transgressive rebellion,” as Strachey as well as scholars on Bloomsbury have insisted, this volume focuses on the ongoing conflict between Strachey’s Victorian notions of class, gender, and race, and his desire to be modern.Linking Strachey’s life and work to the larger movement of English modernism, Lytton Strachey and the Search for Modern Sexual Identity examines: Strachey’s role at Cambridge before World War I how he created his version of homosexuality out of the Victorian tradition of male romantic friendship his relations with the British Empire as he constructed a rich fantasy life that rested on racial and class differences his friendships and rivalries with the women of Bloomsbury how Strachey’s use of sexuality, androgyny, and history defined (and undermined) his brand of modernismThis thoughtfully indexed, well-referenced volume looks at Strachey’s life, in the words of author Julie Anne Taddeo, “to illustrate some of the issues concerning his generation of Cambridge and Bloomsbury colleagues and how they battled the Victorian ideology, often without success.” It is an essential read for everyone interested in this fascinating chapter in literary (and queer) history.
Lytton: Climate Change, Colonialism and Life Before the Fire
by Peter Edwards Kevin LoringFrom bestselling true-crime author Peter Edwards and Governor General's Award-winning playwright Kevin Loring, two sons of Lytton, BC, the town that burned to the ground in 2021, comes a meditation on hometown―when hometown is gone.&“It&’s dire,&” Greta Thunberg retweeted Mayor JanPolderman. &“The whole town is on fire. It took a whole 15 minutes from the first sign of smoke to, all of a sudden, there being fire everywhere.&”Before it made global headlines as the small town that burned down during a record-breaking heatwave in June 2021, while briefly the hottest placeon Earth, Lytton, British Columbia, had a curious past. Named for the author of the infamous line, &“It was a dark and stormy night,&” Lytton was also where Peter Edwards, organized-crime journalist and author of seventeen non-fiction books, spent his childhood. Although only about 500 people lived in Lytton, Peter liked to joke that he was only the second-best writer to come from his tiny hometown. His grade-school classmate&’s nephew Kevin Loring, Nlaka&’pamux from Lytton First Nation, had grown up to be a Governor General&’s Award–winning playwright. The Nlaka&’pamux called Lytton &“The Centre of the World,&” a view Buddhists would share in the late twentieth century, as they set up a temple just outside town. A gold rush in 1858 saw conflict with a wave of Californians come to a head with the Canyon War at the junction of the mighty Fraser and Thompson rivers. The Nlaka&’pamux lost over thirty lives in that conflict, as did the American gold seekers. In modern times, many outsiders would seek shelter there, often people who just didn&’t fit anywhere else and were hoping for a little anonymity in the mountains. Told from the shared perspective of an Indigenous playwright and the journalist son of a settler doctor who pushed back against the divisions that existed between populations, Lytton portrays all the warmth, humour and sincerity of small-town life. A colourful little town that burned to the ground could be every town&’s warning if we don&’t take seriously what this unique place has to teach us.

Lágrimas del sol naciente dorado: perspectiva de testigo ocular en la historia de Biafra
by Ikechukwu JosephPero Emily se despertó en una granja abandonada. Parecía más somnolienta y adormilada. Ella no podía reconocerse a sí misma. Todo lo que podía escuchar eran los cantos de las ranas toro y la correspondiente respuesta más ligera de su contraparte femenina. Sándwich en el medio estaban las bocinas de vehículos distantes. Emily se durmió de nuevo como un tronco. El sueño era tan dulce ahora. El sedante no solo indujo el sueño, sino que también tuvo un efecto calmante y calmante. Ya estaba amaneciendo con adoradores del sol y pájaros del sol haciendo lo suyo cuando la pobre Emily se despertó. Todavía estaba cansada y aturdida. "¡Hola! ¡Hola! ¿Hay alguien ahí?" Trató de levantarse pero sus manos y piernas estaban atadas a la silla. Aterrada, gritó, pero nadie pudo oírla. Al mirar por la ventana vio un sedán rojo aparcado en lo que parecía la parte trasera del corral. Emily luchó por liberarse, pero estaba muy débil. El efecto de los sedantes. Miró a su alrededor y vio una pistola a un lado de la habitación. Ha pasado mucho tiempo que vio uno desde que escapó de la zona de guerra. Su fuerte voluntad luchó contra el pánico en su voz. "Bebé, ¿estás despierto?" Una voz ronca se acercó por detrás y tocó su cuello, masajeando. Emily se estremeció al recordar todas las historias tanto de MM como de las novelas. El violador en serie, los secuestradores y ritualista. "¿Pero qué hice?" Miró al anciano con cabello gris y ojos llameantes. "Bebé, tienes que comer para tener fuerzas para luchar contra tus enemigos ..." Cuando Angelo abrió una de las pilas de bolsas, algo que parecía un hueso humano se cayó. Lo besó y se rió histéricamente murmurando palabras como "su carne era muy dulce, dulce señora, su esposo debe haberte extrañado. Espero que Dios me dé otro como tú que rompa la regla número uno". Entonces Emily se dio cuenta de que había sido presa de un caníbal humano. Rezó todas las oraciones, pero parecía no tener

Lämna det sjunkande skeppet, en resa till ett ekonomiskt jihad
by Jo M. Sekimonyo Charlotta Zaar BöllFemtiofem nyanser av politisk ekonomi... Ekonomiska teoretiker har sedan starten för över 200 år sedan kämpat med frågan hur man fördelar rikedom, och dom har fortfarande inte kommit närmare en lösning. Författaren kritiserar inte bara kapitalismen, utan har äntligen lagt till ett nytt tankeväckande alternativ till det kannibalistiska systemet. Författarens okonventionella sätt att angripa problemen kommer att öka din hjärtfrekvens och göra dig illamående. I mitten av boken kan du finna dig själv famlande efter ett långt rep att hänga dig själv i, då du gett upp hoppet om mänskligheten... men gör inte det, för då missar du den spektakulära finalen. Denna bok är inte en ekonomisk liturgi. Författaren erbjuder ett tankeväckande botemedel mot global sociopolitisk ojämnlikhet; uppkomsten av ethosismen. Tara Casimir, Editor
Léon Blum
by Pierre BirnbaumLéon Blum (1872–1950) was many things: a socialist and political activist, leader of the Popular Front; a dedicated statesman who served as France's prime minister three times; a hero who courageously opposed anti-Semitism, Nazi aggression, and the pro-German Vichy government; a passionate lover of women, art, and life. A tireless champion for workers’ rights, Blum dramatically changed French society by establishing the forty-hour work week, paid holidays, and collective bargaining on wage claims. He was also a proud Jew and Zionist, and a survivor who endured the horrors of Buchenwald and Dachau. Unlike previous biographies that downplay the significance of Blum’s Jewish heritage on his progressive politics, Pierre Birnbaum’s portrait depicts an extraordinary man whose political convictions were shaped and driven by his religious and cultural background. The author powerfully demonstrates how Blum’s Jewishness was central to his milieu and mission from his earliest entry into the political arena in reaction to the Dreyfus Affair, and how it sustained and motivated him throughout the remainder of his life. Birnbaum’s Léon Blum is a critical chapter in the larger history of Jews in France.
Léon Blum: Humanist in Politics
by Joel ColtonJohn Colton is a meticulous researcher and a fine craftsman. In his political biography of Leon Blum, these two qualities are beautiully blended; none of the available evidence appears to have been over looked, and the enormous mass of variegated material has been transmuted in a polished, richly tapestried, and absorbing narrative.
Léon Walras’s Economic Thought: The General Equilibrium Theory in Historical Perspective (Routledge Studies in the History of Economics)
by Kayoko MisakiThis book sheds new light on the general equilibrium theory of Léon Walras (1834–1910) from a historical perspective. Walras's construction of general equilibrium theory marked the dawn of modern economics, and the theory was greatly developed in the 20th century. However, Walras's own intentions and ideas behind the theory are still not fully understood. This book aims to clarify the intellectual background of Walras’s economics by delving into his original writings, which have not received much attention until now. Part 1 of the book reconsiders the relationship between Walras and his predecessors, Adam Smith (1723–1790), Jean-Baptiste Say (1767–1832), and Achylle Nicolas Isnard (1749–1803), who are believed to have had a decisive influence on Walras's general equilibrium theory. In Part 2, the book explores Walras's views on the labor market, entrepreneurship, and non-selfish human nature, including concepts like sympathy, which have been overlooked in his general equilibrium theory and subsequently misunderstood to this day. Walras’s economic thought is one of the foundational sources of modern economics. An accurate and in-depth understanding of it will provide a new perspective on the problems faced by modern economics and open future possibilities for economics as a social science. This book offers new insights not only to researchers and students of the history of economics but also to all those interested in the origins of modern economics.
Léon y Louise
by Alex CapusExquisita por su ligereza y conmovedora por su intensidad, la verosimilitud del relato sorprenderá al lector más avezado. Obra finalista del Deutscher Buchpreis -uno de los premios literarios de referencia en Alemania-, esta última novela de Alex Capus es la máxima expresión de una historia de amor que desafía todas las convenciones.

Allí es donde conoce a la hermosa y esquiva Louise Janvier, y entre ellos surge un sentimiento puro, noble y profundo. Sin embargo, todo salta por los aires cuando Louise desaparece durante un bombardeo de la aviación alemana. Abatido porla pérdida, Léon logra reconstruir su vida. Se casa, tiene hijos y empieza a trabajar como científico para la policía, pero nunca conseguirá olvidar a Louise.

Una historia maravillosa que deja un vacío cuando uno termina de leerla. Y que nos hace desear secretamente encontrar a alguien como Léon en la próxima vida. O a alguien como Louise.»WDR «La historia de un amor que se opone a la historia del mundo. Una pieza literaria finamente trabajada sobre el deseo de lograr la felicidad, sobre la conformidad y la supervivencia.»Tages-Anzeiger «Este libro elige a sus lectores. [...] Alex Capus ha escrito una fascinante historia de amor en circunstancias difíciles [...]. Una historia bellísima que lo es tanto por su estilo como por todo aquello que el lenguaje no puede describir.»Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung «A simple vista, ésta es una historia de un amor que perdura. Pero también habla de los abusos de poder, especialmente en tiempos de guerra, y de los sacrificios que el ser humano debe hacer para preservar aquello que más ama.»Publishers Weekly
