In 1997, Mark Gonnerman organized a yearlong research workshop on Gary Snyder’s Mountains and Rivers Without End at the Stanford Humanities Center. Members of what came to be known among faculty, students, and diverse community members as the Mountains & Rivers Workshop met regularly to read and discuss Snyder’s epic poem. Here the poem served as a commons that turned the multiversity into a university once again, if only for a moment.The Workshop invited writers, teachers and scholars from Northern California and Japan to speak on various aspects of Snyder’s great accomplishment. This book captures the excitement of these gatherings and invites readers to enter the poem through essays and talks by David Abram, Wendell Berry, Carl Bielefeldt, Tim Dean, Jim Dodge, Robert Hass, Stephanie Kaza, Julia Martin, Michael McClure, Nanao Sakaki, and Katsunori Yamazato. It includes an interview with Gary Snyder, appendices, and other resources for further study.Snyder once introduced a reading of this work with reference to whitewater rapids, saying most of his writing is like a Class III run where you will do just fine on your own, but that Mountains and Rivers is more like Class V: if you’re going to make it to take-out, you need a guide. As a collection of commentaries and background readings, this companion volume enhances each reader’s ability to find their way into and through an adventurous and engaging work of art.

Настоящее издание – явление удивительное, даже уникальное, во многих аспектах. Полное собрание сочинений. Автор – Эдвард Лир (1812–1888), знаменитый английский поэт и художник XIX века. Основоположник поэзии нонсенса. Отец литературного лимерика. Переводчик – Борис Архипцев, совершивший своего рода творческий подвиг, отдав работе над книгой без малого четверть века. Значительная часть текстов переведена на русский впервые. Всё, переведённое заново, выводит отечественные интерпретации Э. Лира на новый, прежде недостижимый уровень. Переводы Архипцева (ему же принадлежат и все прочие русские материалы в книге – предисловие, комментарии и т. д.) отличает редкостный сплав точности, верности автору, его замыслу и воле, с поразительной свободой изложения, лёгкостью и изяществом слога. Книга двуязычна: переводы сопровождаются авторскими текстами на языке оригинала и собственными иллюстрациями Эдварда Лира.

A level 5 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Clare West. Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic feeling. She has no time for dull common sense – or for middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage. True love can only be felt by the young, of course. And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how can you ever expect to recover from the passionate misery that fills your life, waking and sleeping?
