Thera Weiser Books, 1973 Important for personal conduct It is rare to find a book which presents the essence of the Buddha's teaching in a clear and concise outline. Although the book was published for the first time in 1962 the first paragraph of the first chapter shows the reader that one is confronted with an eternal truth. Unless we recognize that the causes of war, and especially the one we are currently engaged in, reside in the human mind and ...             The Song of Everlasting Sorrow, Translated by Michael Berry and Susan Chan Egan: A Novel of Shanghai ...1 review Wang Anyi Columbia University Press, 2008 Met my expectations!

Basic Books, 1994 Lessons to take to heart I'm not a military strategist, but it seems that neither are many of the people running military strategies these days. And I don't mean only American military strategy. If Western civilization wants to survive, it had better hurriedly take Sun Tzu's most poignant messages to heart--messages perhaps best translated in this classic edition. Among these are the lessons concerning one's knowledge ...             Elementary Forms Of The Religious Life: Newly Translated By Karen E. Fields10 reviews Emile Durkheim Free Press, 1995 To understand religion Like Emile Durkheim, I was raised with a religious upbringing that didn't fit - I wanted to understand why we create religions in the first place and this book has answers. In the early 1900's Durkheim looked for religious patterns among tribal cultures of Australia and North America. He saw how religion was used to organize tribal society. He saw how religions combine and evolve when tribes ...             Constitution Translated for Kids15 reviews Cathy Travis Synergy Books, 2006 Don't leave this book for just the grade school students to enjoy!!

Pullins Company, 1993 Aristophanes attacks Socrates the sophist as a Sophist The legend is that when Aristophanes' comedy "The Clouds" was first performed in Athens in 423 B.C., his target, Socrates, stood throughout the performance so that everyone in the audience was aware that he was there and hearing what was said of him. The portrait of Socrates clearly satirical and most critics consider it to be inaccurate. But Aristophanes is making fun of Athens' renowned ...             Nineteen Ways of Looking at Wang Wei: How a Chinese Poem Is Translated7 reviews Eliot Weinberger Moyer Bell, 1987 Nothing is more difficult than simplicity Poetry, said Robert Frost, is what gets lost in translation. Poetry, says Eliot Weinberger in the introduction to this small volume, is that which is worth translating. Both, of course, are right. That is what I like about poetry. It tolerates different points of view, a multitude of interpretations. A poem, or its translation, is never 'right', it is always the expression of an individual ...             Cyrano de Bergerac: by Edmund Rostand translated by Anthony Burgess11 reviews Edmund Rostand Applause Books, 2000 An exquisite tragi-comedy If there's one thing that has me miffed, it's those ridiculous academic critiques of this play. Yes, it's unrealistic, yes, it's energetic to the point of insanity, yes, the character of Cyrano is particularly vulnerable to the ridiculous Freudian analyses that Lit. professors are obsessed with. But the essence of this work, what makes it breathe, are the very qualities so mocked by elitists: its ...             On the Nature of Things, Translated by Martin Ferguson Smith (Hackett Classics Series) Titus Lucretius Carus Hackett Publishing Company, 2001 Martin Ferguson Smith's work on Lucretius is both well known and highly regarded.

For this edition, Professor Smith provides a revised translation, new Introduction, headnotes and bibliography.             Aristophanes: Lysistrata: Translated With Introduction and Notes (Focus Classical Library) (Focus Classical ...4 reviews Aristophanes Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Company, 1988 A complete book I think this is the best presentation of a Greek text, because there is a good introduction, a lot of help behind in the book, but no translation. So this is the ideal Lysistrata for students.             The Douay-Rheims Bible: Translated from the Latin Vulgate, Diligently Compared with the Hebrew, Greek and ...2 reviews Bishop Challoner Baronius Press, 2003 A worthy and beautiful edition of a venerable Catholic translation. At the outset one must protest that this review does not set out to consider the contents of the Holy Bible (!) but simply this edition of it. And an impressive edition it is indeed -- newly and clearly typeset, freshly drawn maps, bound in real leather, gilt edged with silk marker ribbons, and including the three great encyclical letters on Sacred Scripture by Popes Leo XIII, Benedict XV and ...             Saint Joseph Edition of the New American Bible: Translated from the Original Languages With Critical Use of ...25 reviews Catholic Book Publishing Company, 1987 Must have for all Catholic Christians This is the greatest Bible I have ever read.

It has proved its worth as a self-effacing account of one 19th-century samurai's experience of westernization and modernization. But its universal appeal derives from Fukuzawa's zeal for the pursuit of knowledge, and his development as a skilled mediator of cross-cultural encounters. The author transformed ...             On Murder, Mourning and Melancholia (Penguin Modern Classics Translated Texts) Sigmund Freud Penguin Classics, 2005             The Key of Solomon the King: Translated from Ancient Manuscripts in the British Museum (Forgotten Books)2 reviews King Solomon Forgotten Books, 2008 Book Review Excellent book!
