Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG FrC 5.3 Pherekrates frr. 85- 163
Book SynopsisDer italienisch-sprachige Band enthält zehn Komödien (Krapataloi, Leroi, Metalles, Metoikoi, Myrmekanthropoi, Persai, Petale, Tyrannis, Cheiron, Pseuderakles) des Pherekrates, eines älteren Zeitgenossen des Aristophanes, der von den 30er Jahren des 5. Jahrhunderts bis ca. 410 tätig war.

Von besonderem Interesse für die Geschichte der griechischen Musik und der chorlyrischen Gattung des Dithyrambos sind die Fragmente des Cheiron.

Aiora Press Reflections
Book SynopsisAndreas Laskaratos (1811-1901), a prominent figure in modern Greek letters, was a writer and poet, a social thinker and, in many ways, a controversialist. A life-long enemy of hypocrisy wherever he found it, on many occasions he turned against politicians, while he ceaselessly fought against corruption and religious prejudice and fanaticism. Much of his writing is savagely satirical, but his Reflections set out calmly, clearly and wittily his uncompromising and finely reasoned beliefs. As the essence of his thought they could be read with profit by present-day politicians and teachers of any nationality, and indeed by everybody with an interest in social and moral questions.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Andreas Laskaratos and his Reflections; Reflections; Reflections originally written in italian; Translators notes

Manohar Publishers and Distributors Nirgun Bhakti Sagar: Devotional Hindi Literature
Book SynopsisThis book is a tribute to India's literary and religious heritage. For the last 25 years Dr. Winand M. Callewaert visited scores of libraries, temples and private collections to study and catalogue manuscripts on Bhakti literature. As the years passed by his admiration increased for the great medieval Bhaktas who meditated and sang. The result of their devotion is preserved in thousands of manuscripts. In order to make that treasure easily accessible to scholars and devotees these two volumes were produced with the help of computer facilities for printing and sorting words in alphabetical order. The basis for selection is the famous Rajasthani Pancavani collection of the works of five great Bhaktas: Dadu, Kabir, Namdev, Raidas and Hardas. In order to make a comparison possible, the authors have also included the Bijak of Kabir, the Hindi' songs of Gorakhnath and Sundardas, and a selection of Siddha literature. Permission given to reproduce a few edited texts now not easily available is gratefully acknowledged.
