by Paul Valéry

~~28,76€~~ 25,88€ 10% OFF

 A collection of Valéry’s prose poems Paul Valéry began writing poems in various forms of prose and free verse as early as 1892, with Pure Dramas, and continued to do so throughout his life, even during his so-called period of silence, when he had given up writing formal verse. This volume of Valéry’s prose poems includes some of his finest strokes of imagination (Broken Stories), some of his wittiest observations (Mixtures and Poems in the Rough), and even some of his greatest poems (Parables and The Angel), revealing that he was a master not only of traditional verse forms but of the modern prose poem.

Dionysos - Archetypal Image Of Indestructible Life (Archetypal Images In Greek Religion, Volume 2)

by Carl Kerenyi

~~38,37€~~ 34,53€ 10% OFF

 A landmark account of the Dionysos myth as an archetypal expression of indestructible life No other god of the Greeks is as widely present in the monuments and ritual practices of antiquity as Dionysos. In this book, acclaimed mythologist and historian of religion Carl Kerényi presents an engaging history of the religion of Dionysos from its beginnings in the Minoan culture to its transition to a cosmic and cosmopolitan religion of late antiquity under the Roman Empire. From the wealth of Greek literary, epigraphic, and monumental traditions, Kerényi constructs a vivid picture of Dionysian worship, bringing to life the secret cult scenes of the women’s mysteries both within and beyond Attica, the mystic sacrificial rite at Delphi, and the great public Dionysian festivals at Athens. He shows how tragedy and New Comedy are high spiritual forms of the Dionysian religion and how the Dionysian element itself represents an important chapter in the religious history of Europe.
