Historia Calamitatum

$6.99

Ab lard's autobiography, and correspondences with his beloved Heloise from the French scholastic philosopher who was influential on both his contemporaries and on the course of medieval thought. Peter Abelard (1079-c.1142) was a renowned French philosopher and theologian, though he is usually remembered today for his affair with the beautiful Heloise, which ended with his being castrated by the girl's uncle. This short book (48 pages) contains Peter Abelard's autobiography, entitled Historia Calamitatum or The Story of My Misfortunes, which was written shortly before his death. In it, Dr. Abelard, shows how his life unfolded; from his promising youth, through to his seduction of Heloise, and on to his problems as an abbot of the monastery at Saint-Gildas-de-Rhuis. I must say, that I found this to be a fascinating read. Dr. Abelard thought very highly of himself, making such remarks as, "Thus I who by this time had come to regard myself as the only philosopher remaining in the whole world." Concomitantly, he thought very little of the people around him. In his recollections, his brilliance shown like a thousand suns, and his teachers and fellows all came to hate him because of their jealousy. Everywhere he went people came to hate him, through no fault of his own, but only through their jealousy and evil. I imagine that he was a difficult man to love; my hat is off to Heloise. Overall, I found this to be a fascinating, and very insightful read. I now feel that I understand what Peter Abelard was truly like. If you wish to read Dr. Abelard's defense of himself, and look through a window into his soul, then I highly recommend that you get this book. [Read more]

The Daring Flight of My Pen: Cultural Politics and Gaspar Perez de Villagra's Historia de la Nueva Mexico, 1610

$29.95  $28.76

Doomed from the beginning to be read as history rather than poetry, Gaspar Perez de Villagra's Historia de la Nueva Mexico chronicles Captain Juan de Onate's conquest of New Mexico from its inception in 1595 to the battle of Acoma in 1599. Its publication in 1610 was overshadowed by Cervantes's already wildly popular Don Quixote, and fewer than a dozen copies of the original have survived the last four centuries. In April of 1610, the same month that Villagra's Historia was published in Spain, the once powerful Onate, the last conquistador and one who remains a divisive figure among native groups and Hispanics to this day, rode into Mexico City, humiliated, having been banished from la Nueva Mexico. In this engaging study Genaro Padilla enters into Villagra's epic poem of the Onate expedition to reveal that the soldier was no mere chronicler but that his writing offers a subtle critique of the empire whose expansion he seems to be celebrating. A close reading of the rhetorical subtleties in the poem, Padilla argues, reveals that Villagra surreptitiously parodies the King and Viceroy for their failures of vision and effectively dismantles Onate as the iconic figure he has become today. Padilla's study is not simply a close reading of this challenging work; it is also a lucid critique of our modern engagement with foundational documents, cultural celebrations, and our awareness of our relationship with New Mexico's complicated multicultural legacies.

Manos Prodigiosas: La historia de Ben Carson (Spanish Edition)

$10.99  $9.89

Gifted Hands, by and about Ben Carson, M.D, is the inspiring story of an inner-city kid with poor grades and little motivation, who, at age thirty-three, became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. Gifted Hands will take you into the operating room to witness surgeries that made headlines around the world, and into the private mind of a compassionate, God-fearing physician who lives to help others. In 1987, Dr. Carson gained worldwide recognition for his part in the first successful separation of Siamese twins joined at the back of the head -an extremely complex and delicate operation that took five months of planning and twenty-two hours of actual surgery, involving a surgical plan that Carson helped initiate. Gifted Hands reveals a man with humility, decency, compassion, courage, and sensitivity who serves as a role model for young people (and everyone else) in need of encouragement to attempt the seemingly impossible and to excel in whatever they attempt. Dr. Carson also describes the key role that his highly intelligent, though relatively uneducated mother played in his metamorphosis from an unmotivated ghetto youngster into one of the most respected neurosurgeons in the world.

A Sallust Reader: Selections from Bellum Catilinae and Bellum Iugurthinum, and Historiae (Latin Readers)

$19.00  $17.86

This reader aims to introduce advanced Latin students to the works of Sallust, unique among Roman historians for several reasons. Because he uses standard vocabulary and uncomplicated syntax, Sallust is an accessible author at this level. Unlike other Roman historians whose subject matter was a distant past, Sallust writes about events that occurred in his lifetime. His roller-coaster career afforded him a unique opportunity to critique the inner mechanisms of contemporary Roman politics from the vantage of an outsider. Complete with introduction, text, commentary, vocabulary, and bibliography, this volume contains selections (556 lines) from the Bellum Catilinae, the Bellum Iugurthinum, and the Historiae. Selections include character sketches, conspiracy and its betrayal, ethnography, a political speech, and a description of a lavish banquet. Students are prepared for an eventual reading of the monographs in their entirety and become acquainted with the fragmentary Historiae. This reader teaches the rudiments of Latin prose by reinforcing transferable skills that can be applied to other prose authors. While attention is given to Sallusts distinctive style, emphasis is placed on general structures so that students achieve comprehension and appreciation of Latin prose as a distinct-and majestic-art form in its own right. Special Features * Introduction to Sallusts life, work, and style * Latin text selections (556 lines) from Sallusts Bellum Catilinae (232 lines: 3.3-4.2; 4.3-5.8, 15; 22-25; 27.2-29; 40-41; 53-54), the Bellum Iugurthinum (304 lines: 6-7; 17-19; 84-86), and Historiae (20 lines: 2.70) * Grammatical and historical commentary printed at the back of the book For over 30 years Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers has produced the highest quality Latin and ancient Greek books. From Dr. Seuss books in Latin to Plato's Apology, Bolchazy-Carducci's titles help readers learn about ancient Rome and Greece; the Latin and ancient Greek languages are alive and well with titles like Cicero's De Amicitia and Kaegi's Greek Grammar. We also feature a line of contemporary eastern European and WWII books.
