DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the fourth volume of a translation of India's most beloved and influential epic tale--the Ramayana of Valmiki. As befits its position at the center of the work, Volume IV presents the hero Rama at the turning point of his fortunes. Having previously lost first his kingship and then his wife, he now forms an alliance with the monkey prince, Sugriva. Rama needs the monkeys to help him find his abducted wife, Sita, and they do finally discover where her abductor has taken her. But first Rama must agree to secure for his new ally the throne of the monkey kingdom by eliminating the reigning king, Sugriva's detested elder brother, Valin. The tragic rivalry between the two monkey brothers is in sharp contrast to Rama's affectionate relationship with his own brothers and forms a self-contained episode within the larger story of Rama's adventures. This volume continues the translation of the critical edition of the Valmiki Ramayana, a version considerably reduced from the vulgate on which all previous translations were based. It is accompanied by extensive notes on the original Sanskrit text and on several untranslated early Sanskrit commentaries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat have the Middle Ages got to do with us? For Jung, it seems, quite a lot, after all, he tells us: “I must catch up with a piece of the Middle Ages — within myself,” adding: “We have only finished the Middle Ages — of others.” In Wolfram von Eschenbach’s “Parzival” and the Grail as Transformation, Paul Bishop considers the significance for Jung of a masterpiece of medieval German literature, and a major work in the tradition of the legendary Holy Grail. Wolfram’s Parzival epic depicts a three-fold quest: for the hero’s identity, for vröude (“joy”), and for the mysterious Grail. In the course of this quest, Parzival himself is transformed from a fool into the lord of the Grail, and the power of the Grail brings about a collective transformation as well. This is the first volume in a series of books, examining key texts in German literature and thought that were, in Jung’s own estimation or by scholarly consent, highly influential on his thinking. The project of Jung and the Epic of Transformation consists of four titles, sequentially arranged to explore great works from a Jungian perspective and in turn to highlight their importance for interpreting The Red Book.

Symonds combines meticulous research with a poetic writing style, drawing vivid pictures of the artists, thinkers, and rulers who shaped this transformative era. With detailed analysis of art, literature, and philosophy, Symonds captures the essence of the Italian Renaissance and its impact on Western civilization. His lyrical prose brings to life the beauty and complexity of this fascinating time in history.

His personal experiences in Italy and his passion for art and literature inspired him to produce this comprehensive work. Symonds's deep admiration for the achievements of the Renaissance shines through in his nuanced and insightful analysis of this pivotal period. I highly recommend 'Renaissance in Italy' to readers interested in exploring the rich tapestry of the Italian Renaissance. Symonds's work offers a captivating journey through a pivotal moment in history, providing valuable insights into the cultural and intellectual developments that continue to influence society today.
