Seven Pillars of Wisdom / T. E. Lawrence

Public ISBD Titre : Seven Pillars of Wisdom Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : T. E. Lawrence, Auteur Editeur : Londres [Royaume-Uni] : Wordsworth Editions Année de publication : 1997 Collection : Wordsworth Classics of World Literature Importance : 704 p. Format : 19.05 x 12.45 x 3.81 centimetres (0.36 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-85326-469-6 Note générale : With an Introduction by Angus Calder. As Angus Calder states in his introduction to this edition, 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom is one of the major statements about the fighting experience of the First World War'. Lawrence's younger brothers, Frank and Will, had been killed on the Western Front in 1915. Seven Pillars of Wisdom, written between 1919 and 1926, tells of the vastly different campaign against the Turks in the Middle East - one which encompasses gross acts of cruelty and revenge and ends in a welter of stink and corpses in the disgusting 'hospital' in Damascus. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is no Boys Own Paper tale of Imperial triumph, but a complex work of high literary aspiration which stands in the tradition of Melville and Dostoevsky, and alongside the writings of Yeats, Eliot and Joyce.

The Art of War / Tzu Sun

Public ISBD Titre : The Art of War Titre original : The Book of Lord Shang Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tzu Sun, Auteur ; Yuan Shibing, Traducteur Editeur : Londres [Royaume-Uni] : Wordsworth Editions Année de publication : 1998 Collection : Wordsworth Classics of World Literature Importance : 256 p. Format : 19.8 x 12.9 x 1.3 centimetres (0.15 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-85326-779-6 Note générale : Translated by Yuan Shibing and J.J.L.Duyvendak. With introductions by Robert Wilkinson. The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history. Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured. The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written. They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China.

The Interpretation of Dreams / Sigmund Freud

Public ISBD Titre : The Interpretation of Dreams Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sigmund Freud, Auteur ; A. A. Brill, Traducteur Editeur : Londres [Royaume-Uni] : Wordsworth Editions Année de publication : 1997 Collection : Wordsworth Classics of World Literature Importance : 480 p. Format : 19.8 x 12.9 x 2.4 centimetres (0.29 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-85326-484-9 Note générale : Never ceasing to stimulate controversy, Freud is acknowledged as the founder of psychoanalysis, the key to unlocking the human mind, which has become so essential to mankind's survival in all the confusions of the 20th century. As science and technology have often rushed ahead of our ability to cope with the consequences, Freud saw that man is at war with himself and often unable to tolerate too much reality, and he pronounced that dreams are the contraband representations of the beast within man which are smuggled into awareness during sleep. In Freudian interpretation, the analysis of dreams constitutes the key to unlocking the vital secrets of the unconscious mind. Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Freud.
