![]() ![]() ![]() On the contrary, they are constitutive of meaning in the elegies, and understanding them is crucial to our experience of reading Rilke's work. Commentators, however, have often treated these features as mere formal devices that we can somehow see through to get to what really matters, that is, to what Rilke has to say about the human condition or the meaning of life, to his philosophy or worldview. The themes of the ten elegies - and the conceptual world unique to Rilke from which they emerge - can best be understood through their poetic form: their imagery and neologistic formations, their angular syntax, their abrupt changes of tone and linguistic register, their use of multiple personae and speaking voices, and the often-ironic self-presentation of the author. The Duino Elegies, together with the Sonnets to Orpheus, remain his greatest achievement. Rilke continues to be the most read and discussed German poet of the modern period. A new translation of Rilke's great work with close readings of each of the ten elegies elucidating how their poetic attributes constitute their meaning. ![]()

![]() White ultimately attacks the notion that modern history texts present objective, accurate explanations of the past instead, he argues that historians and philosophers operate under unarticulated assumptions in arranging, selecting, and interpreting events. His books and essays analyze the narratives of nineteenth-and twentieth-century historians and philosophers, suggesting that historical discourse is a form of fiction that can be classified and studied on the basis of its structure and its use of language.

Eight years later (my brain takes its time) I nicked his title for a book.

The author has a strong grasp of their own writing style where it’s lyrical and contemplative. I enjoyed the way this book opened up with the hazy yet romantic memories of the night the protagonist had, right as she is at the cusp of an existential life crisis. This would make a great indie film adaptation since it’s like a coming-of-age story for adults in their late 20s. ![]() ![]() ![]() Due to an undiagnosed (for 5 days) burst appendix in little Colton (who by all accounts seems to be an utterly charming and normal little guy), the lad nearly lost his life. The story line is pretty simple, and there appears to be no question regarding the general circumstances themselves. And herein rests a key problem with this little -quick reading and fun book. And how we interpret our experiences may or may not be accurate. I use it because “experiences” are tricky things. I do not use it either to impugn the sincerity of the Burpo family in any way. ![]() ![]() I use it only because a lot of what is reported in the book (beyond the verifiable historical facts), is all dependent upon what may or may not be the genuine experience, or dreams, or hallucinations or combinations of these – of 4 year old Colton Burpo. When I use the word “supposed” in parentheses above, I do not wish to imply that there is any kind of fraud being perpetrated in this story. Heaven is For Real, is the (supposed) account of Colton Burpo – son of Todd Burpo, a pastor in Imperial Nebraska. I think this little book raises from serious questions we DO need to ask. I know I’m going to be seen by some as a party pooper in this review – but bear with me. ![]() ![]() "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. ![]() Will the sleeping beauty be able to wake herself up?
