 P. J. O'Rourke, "The Funny Stuff: The Official P. J. O'Rourke Quotationary and Riffapedia" English | ISBN: 0802160646 | 2022 | 264 pages | EPUB | 1044 KB A compendium of quotes and riffs by P.J.

Edward Courtney, "The Fragmentary Latin Poets" English | 2003 | pages: 564 | ISBN: 0199265798 | PDF | 14,7 mb To understand fully the development of Latin poetry, one has to consider not only the prominent figures whose works survive in entirety, but also the writers known to us only in fragments, usually in quotations. The fragments of the non-dramatic poets have been collected by Baehrens, Morel, and B((;u))chner, but only a few have ever received a commentary. This book revises the texts, taking advantage of much earlier work now largely forgotten, and provides the necessary interpretive and illustrative material. By building up, wherever possible, a picture of each writer, Courtney places them in relation to the development of Latin poetry and thus gathers together information at present widely scattered and not easy to locate. While omitting some material which does not contribute to the focus of the book, he adds some writers not usually included in this corpus-particularly Tiberianus, the so-called De Bello Actiaco and the minor works of Ennius.

 Oriana Binik, "The Fascination with Violence in Contemporary Society: When Crime is Sublime" English | 2019 | ISBN: 3030267431 | PDF | pages: 301 | 3.5 mb This book directly explores the question of why contemporary society is so fascinated with violence and crime.The Fascination with Violence in Contemporary Society posits that the phenomenon is, in part, because we have all become consumers of the sublime: an intense and strongly ambiguous emotion which is increasingly commodified. Through the experience of violence and the sense of disorientation that accompanies it, we obsessively seek out moments of intensified existence.Equally, crime continues to speak to the depths of the collective unconscious, questioning us about our transience and the model of society we wish to live in. Binik proposes that this is why the reaction to violence has become a tool with which to express and take ownership of a desire for social cohesion.
