Prose Unseens for A-Level Latin A Guide through Roman History【電子書籍】[ Mathew Owen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This volume is designed to accompany the OCR A-Level specification in Latin (first teaching September 2016), with practice unseen passages from Livy, the set prose for Paper 1, together with passages from a selection of other writers to support Paper 2, for which no author is set. A bank of 80 passages aims to take Sixth Form students from the level of heavily adapted post-GCSE ('AS'-equivalent) passages and develop their knowledge and skills to reach A-Level standard.</p> <p>But this is not just a book of unseen passages: there is a chronological progression through the unseens in order to give the reader a sense of the narrative of Roman history, exploring key events through the words of original texts. Every passage begins with an introduction, outlining the basic content of the passage, followed by a 'lead-in' sentence, paraphrasing the few lines before the passage begins. Part 1 passages are straight translation exercises on the model of the A-Level Paper 1. They also feature, however, a 'Discendum' box, highlighting a facet of Latin prose with which students may not be familiar, or extension questions on grammar and style. Part 2 passages are accompanied by questions on comprehension, translation and grammar, replicating the demands of Paper 2 in full.</p> <p>An extensive word list is provided in the form of checklists which build the reader's knowledge of the most commonly occurring words and phrases in Latin prose. The passages are punctuated with discussions of Roman history during the periods covered in the passages, and a comprehensive introduction includes portraits of the authors featured in the book, as well as grammatical reminders to help readers deal with both the trickier elements of unseen prose and with A-Level grammatical analysis questions.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Harbours of England," John Ruskin presents a captivating blend of art, architecture, and the natural environment, exploring the rich tapestry of England's coastal ports. Through meticulous observation and vivid prose, Ruskin captures the aesthetic and historical significance of harbours, reflecting on their roles in trade, culture, and the lives of ordinary people. His literary style is marked by eloquent descriptions and a keen appreciation for detail, characteristic of the Victorian era's heightened awareness of industrialization'??s impact on natural landscapes. This work sits within the broader context of Ruskin's advocacy for the moral and educational value of art, as he seeks to inspire a deeper connection between humanity and the environment. John Ruskin (1819-1900), a prominent art critic, social thinker, and champion of the Gothic Revival, channels his passion for beauty and ethics into this volume. His early exposure to painting and architecture, coupled with a profound concern for the consequences of industrial progress, shaped his worldview. This drove him to articulate a vision where art and nature coalesce, even amid societal upheavals, leading him to document the harbours that serve as symbols of England's enduring heritage. "The Harbours of England" is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of art, history, and nature. Ruskin's insightful observations encourage readers to reflect on the aesthetic value and cultural importance of these maritime spaces. This book invites a rediscovery of England's coastal legacy, making it a timeless companion for art historians, environmentalists, and lovers of travel alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Remedia Amoris; or, The Remedy of Love Literally Translated into English Prose, with Copious Notes【電子書籍】[ Ovid ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Ovid's "Remedia Amoris" serves as both a companion and a counterpoint to his earlier work, "Amores," delving into the intricacies of love and its discontents. Written in elegiac couplets, this poem adopts a wry, playful tone as it presents remedies for the heartache wrought by love. Ovid engages with themes of desire, passion, and the art of seduction, offering a satirical yet earnest exploration of the human condition. In the literary context of Ancient Rome, Ovid's approach reflects the Augustan ideals, blending the personal with the universal, while also critiquing romantic love's often destructive nature. Ovid, a key figure in Latin literature, was deeply influenced by his own experiences and the societal norms of his time. His tumultuous love life and exiled status allowed him to reflect critically on the fleeting nature of passion and the emotional turmoil it brings. "Remedia Amoris," written during a period of self-reflection, showcases Ovid's mastery in navigating themes of love while employing humor and irony to engage his readers. This text is an essential read for those interested in classical literature and the complexities of romantic relationships. Ovid's engaging style and profound insights into love's remedies make it a valuable addition to both literary study and personal reflection on the nature of desire.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Ars Amatoria; or, The Art of Love," Ovid artfully weaves a playful yet sophisticated guide to love, desire, and seduction. Written in elegiac couplets, this poem stands out for its witty and engaging tone, offering practical advice on wooing both men and women. Set against the backdrop of Rome's hedonistic culture during the reign of Augustus, Ovid's work contrasts social mores with individual desires, embodying the tension between public morality and private passion. The intricacy of his language and the richness of his imagery render a vivid tableau of romantic pursuits while evoking the complexities of human relations in a rapidly evolving society. Ovid, a master of Latin literature, was deeply influenced by the cultural and social nuances of his time. His experiences as a poet and witness to the political shifts under Augustus may have spurred him to explore topics of love and sexuality, ultimately allowing him to transgress the boundaries of traditional poetic forms. His vivid imagination and keen observations about human behavior give a personal touch to his work, reflecting both his intellectual legacy and personal encounters. "Ars Amatoria" is not merely a manual for courtship; it is a profound exploration of love's paradoxes and pleasures.
