Beast in Man - Zola, Emile - Paperback(Updated)
von Emile Zola, Roger Pearson, Mile Zola
Paperback, 424 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1996 von Oxford Paperbacks
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-282261-1, ISBN: 0-19-282261-6

""La bete humaine" (1890), the 17th novel in the Rougon-Macquart series, is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion, and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. This new translation captures Zola's fast-paced yet deliberately dispassionate style, while the introduction and detailed notes place the novel in its social, hist ..."






Candide and Other Stories
(Everyman's Library Classics & Contemporary Classics)
von Roger Pearson, Roger Voltaire/ Pearson, Francois M. Voltaire
Hardcover, 376 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1992 von Everyman's Library
ISBN-13: 978-0-679-41746-0, ISBN: 0-679-41746-X

" Candide is the story of a gentle man who, though pummeled and slapped in every direction by fate, clings desperately to the belief that he lives in "the best of all possible worlds." On the surface a witty, bantering tale, this eighteenth-century classic is actually a savage, satiric thrust at the philosophical optimism that proclaims that all disaster and human suffering is part of a benevolent cosmic plan. Fast, funny, often outrageo ..."






Candide and Other Stories

Paperback, 352 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 2006 von Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-280726-7, ISBN: 0-19-280726-9

"'If this is the best of all possible worlds, then what must the others be like?' Young Candide is tossed on a hilarious tide of misfortune, experiencing the full horror and injustice of this 'best of all possible worlds' - the Old and the New - before finally accepting that his old philosophy tutor Dr Pangloss has got it all wrong. There are no grounds for his daft theory of Optimism. Yet life goes on. We must cultivate our garden, ..."






Candide and Other Stories(Updated)
(Oxford World's Classics)

Paperback, 384 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 1998 von Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-283426-3, ISBN: 0-19-283426-6

"'If this is the best of all possible worlds, then what must the others be like?' "Candide", published simultaneously in five European capitals in 1759, became an instant bestseller and is now regarded by many as one of the key texts of the Enlightenment. A master story-teller, Voltaire found the philosophical tale the perfect vehicle for his preoccupations with evil, human folly, and intolerance. He combined often wildly entertaining ac ..."






The Oxford Tutorial
Thanks, You Taught Me How to Think
von David Palfreyman, Alan Ryan, Peter Mirfield, Roger Pearson, Richard Dawkins, Robin Lane Fox, Penny Probert Smith, Emma Smith, Richard Mash, Christopher Tyerman
Paperback, 184 Seiten, Veröffentlicht 2019 von Independently Published
ISBN-13: 978-1-09-919134-3, ISBN: 1-09-919134-3

"The Oxford Tutorial has an almost mystic, cult status. It is Oxford ‘premium product’ for which, via college academic fees, it commands ‘a premium price’. But the Tutorial has its critics, both within and beyond Oxford. Is it an anachronism in the mass higher education system of the twenty-first century? Is the traditional tutoring of Oxford’s undergraduates now too labour intensive and too expensive a burden for the University and its ..."

""Because Mago!" The air suddenly split with authority, and Immanuel appeared in their midst and spoke, "He created you and your people!" "My God!" Jeremiah cried out as he tumbled from his seat and bowed his face to the ground. Everyone else was only seconds behind him as they all recognized the face of Jesus."

"What is the public value of poetry? How do poets envisage their own role and function within society? How do we? Do poets seek to shape public opinion and behavior? Should they? Or do they offer alternatives--perhaps sacred alternatives--to political and religious ideologies? Are they what Shelley in 1821 called 'the unacknowledged legislators of the World'? And what might that mean?During the decades immediately preceding the Revolutio ..."

"Even if the term 'madness' drops from the author's lips initially in the guise of ' quoted speech', of a borrowed signifier to which he himself does not subscribe, he none the less ends up recuperating the word, gradually adopting it as his own by investing it with new values, by seducing it into serving his own particular ends . Henceforth, when he uses it, the notion of madness implies both a way of being which is special to his pa ..."

""How long have they been transformed Mago?" "Just for a few hours Lambro." "Then there is still time?" Lambro said relief evident in his voice. "Yes Lambro, they should be fine." "How much time have they got Mago?" "They should be alright for at least four or five more hours Lambro?" "Four or five hours, Mago you know that won't be nearly enough time! You do know what will happen to them if that powder wears off with them still in these ..."

"Enter François-Marie Arouet, once known as Zozo. Voltaire had remained in touch with the baron de Breteuil over the intervening years, seeking his help or influence on a number of occasions. The baron for his part was a great admirer of the young man's work—though quite evidently not of his eligibility as a husband. Indeed that thought would never have occurred to him. As to his daughter, she was not unlike Monsieur de Voltaire: sh ..."

"Race and heredity were accepted facts in Western science until Marxists and fellow travelers infiltrated Western academe and subverted objectivity on the subject. Yet notwithstanding the fact that contemporary scientists are influenced by fear that politically motivated criticism might affect their careers, and in some cases simply by the fear that their research might raise racial tensions, the evidence for inherited differences in bot ..."
