Cambridge University Press Cosmography and the Idea of Hyperborea in Ancient
Book SynopsisCosmography is defined here as the rhetoric of cosmology: the art of composing worlds. The mirage of Hyperborea, which played a substantial role in Greek religion and culture throughout Antiquity, offers a remarkable window into the practice of composing and reading worlds. This book follows Hyperborea across genres and centuries, both as an exploration of the extraordinary record of Greek thought on that further North and as a case study of ancient cosmography and the anthropological philology that tracks ancient cosmography. Trajectories through the many forms of Greek thought on Hyperborea shed light on key aspects of the cosmography of cult and the cosmography of literature. The philology of worlds pursued in this book ranges from Archaic hymns to Hellenistic and Imperial reconfigurations of Hyperborea. A thousand years of cosmography is thus surveyed through the rewritings of one idea. This is a book on the art of reading worlds slowly.Trade Review'There are places, not necessarily real, that enter into the imagination of a culture and shape its vision of the world. Hyperborea, that region 'beyond the north,' was such a place for the ancient Greeks, and Renaud Gagné has traced its formative role in Greek cosmography and theology with exceptional insight and immense learning. There are treasures on every page.' David Konstan, Professor of Classics, New York University'Greek religion is a constantly shifting map of songs', writes Gagné. Indeed, dynamic movement infuses this invaluable investigation into Greek cosmography, conceived here as the composition of worlds that can be found in many texts and genres in dialogue across centuries. Grounded in current anthropology, this book about the 'poetics of worlding' successfully combines a strong command of philology, an impressive mastery of scholarship and an inspiring analysis of Hyperborea as the touchstone of a broad-spectrum enquiry. It is also a delightful journey.' Vinciane Pirenne-Delforge, Professor for Religion, History and Society in the Ancient Greek World, Collège de France'A truly extraordinary study of the reasons that and the ways in which different texts and traditions in ancient Greece constructed worlds based upon a notion of Hyperborea. This is a brilliant work that opens up a host of new and exciting questions concerning the workings of religion and culture in ancient Greece.' Michael Puett, Walter C.

Thames & Hudson Ltd Hyperborea
Book SynopsisA career-to-date retrospective of a unique creative talent. Hyperborea presents unforgettable visual tales of life in the Siberian Arctic that photographer Evgenia Arbugaeva knew when she was growing up in Tiksi, a town on the shore of the Laptev Sea in the Republic of Yakutia. Her work discloses both the fragility and beautiful desolation of the land and those who inhabit it, and her rigorously composed photographs glow with rich otherworldly colour, bristle with the raw vibrancy of the climate and exhibit the quiet intensity of lives borne out in seclusion and extremes. This beautifully produced photobook contains a decade of work, with photographs selected from across the full range of Arbugaeva's series and extensive travels across the Russian Arctic coast and to connect with people living in these remote and inhospitable places. The photographs that she brings back from her long-term visits convey a world where everything seems connected: humans and nature, the sky and the land. An elemental space of deep solitude and slower pace of life. Her images invite us to contemplate a territory that has been a place of longing and imagination for many, which is now under existential threat from a multitude of environmental changes. With an introduction by Piers Vitebsky, four texts by Arbugaeva to supplement the images, and a specially commissioned map to provide a sense of where Arbugaeva's work is located, Hyperborea is a future collectible for all photobook fans and an introduction to a global audience of a very special talent in the world of photography.Trade Review'Powerful' - Daily Mail

Purdue University Press On Emerging from Hyper-Nation: Saramago's
Book SynopsisOn Emerging from Hyper-Nation represents Ronald W. Sousa’s attempt to answer the question, “Why do I smile on reading one of Saramago’s ‘historical’ novels?” Why that reaction of emotional release? To answer the “smile question” the book engages in a critical mode that could be described as “discourse analysis.” It combines several critical strains and relies on basic concepts from Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, Adlerian psychology, and contemporary cognitive psychology for their discourse-analytical value rather than as entrées into psychoanalytical reading per se.The introductory chapter presents some of the concepts that underlie that compound analytical modality and sets out an overview of twentieth-century Portuguese social and economic history. Then, with an eye to answering the “smile question,” the book reads Nobel Laureate José Saramago’s three novels, Baltasar and Blimunda (1982), The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis (1984), and The History of the Siege of Lisbon (1989). Or, better, it seeks to read Sousa’s own reading of the three works, since focus falls on how each novel seeks to construct both its own reading and also Sousa as its reader.The discussion brings to light a number of textual phenomena that bear upon the “smile question.” Among them are that the novels invoke, often subtly, the fascist hermeneutical heritage remaining from before the revolution of 1974 as a constituent part of their communication with the reader; that they summon up historical trauma; that they function as Freudian-style “tendentious jokes”; and that, through these various invocations, they seek to constitute a postrevolutionary Portuguese subject. The reading of Sousa’s reading, then, ends up being a reading of some of the cultural forces at work in postrevolutionary Portugal.

B (Ediciones B) Los cantos de Hyperion I. Hyperion
Book SynopsisHyperion es la aclamada primera novela de la tetralogía Los Cantos de Hyperion, una saga fundamental de la ciencia ficción moderna que fue galardonada con tres premios Locus y el Hugo de 1990 por el presente título.La publicación de la serie a lo largo de la década de 1990 coronó a Dan Simmons como un referente indiscutible del género, capaz de construir un mundo al estilo de los Cuentos de Canterbury, y al mismo tiempo hacer un claro homenaje a John Keats.En el mundo llamado Hyperion, más allá de la Red de la Hegemonía del Hombre, aguarda el Alcaudón, una sorprendente y temible criatura a la que los miembros de la Iglesia de la Expiación Final veneran como Señor del Dolor. En vísperas del Armagedón y con el trasfondo de la posible guerra entre la Hegemonía, los enjambres Éxter y las inteligencias artificiales del TecnoNúcleo, siete peregrinos acuden a Hyperion para resucitar un antiguo rito religioso. Todos ellos son portadores de esperanzas imposibles y, también, de terribles

Book SynopsisHelene Cixous is one of France's leading contemporary writers. This new book is a work of fiction about the most implacable of human certainties - death. It explores death, mourning and loss by means of a poetic fiction: imagining a magic telephone through which one can open up a lifeline to departed loved ones.Trade Review"Moving, complex and lyrical, it is a crucial work." The Herald "The act of writing, Cixous claimed, 'is linked to the experience of disappearance, to the feeling of having lost the key to the world'. Hyperdream offers a world full of such absence ... It hovers, dreamily between novel and memoir." Times Literary Supplement "Hélène Cixous is today the greatest writer in what I shall call, if I may, my language, French. And I weigh my words in saying this. For a very great writer must be a poet-thinker, very much a poet and a very thinking poet." Jacques DerridaTable of ContentsTranslator’s Notes. Author’s Foreword.
