E£85.00

By the time James Joyce wrote "The Fengan Awakening" with its broad view of world history, he might have fully felt that quotes like "modern" or "traditional" no longer made sense when applied to his work, but to his old admirers he is above everything else. : Updated like no other.

    Antigone Now

    E£85.00

    Antigone begins with The two sons of Oedipus, Eteocles and Polyneices, who are fighting for the kingship of Thebes. Both men die in the battle. Their successor, Creon, decides that King Eteocles will be buried, but Polyneices, because he was leading a foreign army, will be left on the field of battle. Antigone, his sister, buries him anyway.

    Antigone is caught burying Polyneices and is condemned to death. Her fiance and Creon's son, Haemon, learns about this and tries to convince Creon to change his mind. It's only then that the seer Tiresias appears. After a long discussion, he finally persuades Creon that the gods want Polyneices buried. By then it's too late Antigone has hung herself, Haemon kills himself when he finds her, and Creon's wife kills herself when she learns about her son.

    The martyrdom operations occupy an important position in the guerrilla action. Indeed, there is no exaggeration in considering these operations to be synonymous with this action. It is not true that martyrdom is based on religious forces

          Pilgrimage: A Spiritual and Cultural Journey

          E£520.00

          This concept of the Christian pilgrimage has its origins in the Exodus of the Jews from ancient Egypt, but it has changed and adapted with the passing centuries. In medieval times millions of pilgrims spent months traveling across Europe to visit holy cities and shrines, and today a modern revival has blurred the lines between pilgrimage and tourism and made places such as Iona, Taize and Santiago di Compostella contemporary meccas.

            Talking with Sartre: Conversations and Debates
            John Gerassi

            Talking with Sartre: Conversations and Debates

            E£195.00

             John Gerassi had just this opportunity as a child, his mother and father were very close friends with Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir and the couple became for him like surrogate parents. Authorized by Sartre to write his biography.

            Through the interviews with both their informalities and their tensions, Sartre’s greater complexities emerge. In particular we see Sartre wrestling with the apparent contradiction between his views on freedom and the influence of social conditions on our choices and actions. We also gain insight into his perspectives on the Spanish Civil War, World War II, and the disintegration of colonialism.
