4. They have an almost infinite catalogue of subjects they research and publish on.
5. They’re trying more to write for a wider audience so the language is more accessible & appealing to the general population.
6. Reading a few solid uni press books on timely, relevant social issues can give you a firm understanding of the problem, it’s historical context, directions that solution can be found in and more recommendations for what to read next.
7. Getting solid information that’s trustworthy, logical and well thought out by a genuine expert can really help with the stresses that our planet’s falling apart.
8. They’re not convenient.
9. After a few solid documentaries on a beloved subject, popular fiction doesn’t have enough new to you information.
10. The Uni Libraries!! Once you can increase your reading comprehension to read introductory academic writing, there’s seriously a whole world of information out there.

Also, Angry Birds were created in Finland, so I featured one of the blue birds in this video. I hope it’s a lighthearted tribute & doesn’t come across as rude or inappropriate. If you are offended by it’s inclusion, I apologize. If it’s actually culturally inappropriate, I’m happy to remove this video to re-upload it without the little guy.
I have 2 move videos planned for this mini-series. The next one, I’ll compare Cancer Ward with In the First Circle. And the 3rd will be what I think the very heart of this book is. What moved me so much.
Have you read this or are considering too? From a personal reading point of view, would you boldly say Cancer Ward is more powerful a message than his famous Unabridged Gulag Archipelago? Am I foolish for making such a bold statement? What makes a book the most powerful in an author’s cannon of writing?

Writing Corrections:
Some of the letters I’m writing backwards to how the book, Athenaze 1 suggests. For instance with delta I start at the top, they tend to start with the loop bit (as with sigma) and go up. With beta, I accidentally write it in in a number 8 formation. The mu usually starts with a downstroke unlike an English m.
A huge thank you to Ataraxia Alpha for providing his music for this video. If you enjoyed his songs, more of his music is available to listen to at ataraxiaalpha.bandcamp.com
A huge thank you to Reading Classics for sending me over to Ataraxia Alpha's channel.
The other videos in this series will include these languages/writing systems:
* Sanskrit
* Persian
* Manchu (from North Eastern China)
* Ge'ez (From Ethiopia)
* Ogheum (from Ireland).
I'm still looking for more indy artists to collaborate with, if you know any who could be a great fit for this series, please send them my way. I'd love to connect. I'm hoping for folkish indy music with traditional elements to celebrate the various writing systems from around the world.
The tracks featured in this video were created & are owned by Ataraxia Alpha. They're featured on the albums, The Archaic Recurrence & Orestes.
* Hymn to Athena
* Περι Ψυχης (On the Soul)
* Ataraxia
I do not own this music, it was downloaded from
ataraxiaalpha.bandcamp.com with the permission of the artist.
I created this video to play in the background while you read, write or study. I hope you find it motivational or helps you to have a relaxing evening. The Japanese classical music may not be true traditional Japanese music. If it is, please let me know and I’ll update this. It’s from the youtube channel “MrSnooze I Background Music for Videos.”
The Greek Writing System is next in this study with me series.
I’ll upload the rest of my AGE Writing videos with different musical styles or ambiance backgrounds. I still plan to make a video to wrap up this entire writing project. They’ll be quite a bit shorter and will showcase each writing system in an aesthetic way, perhaps through poetry.
Happy reading, writing or studying!

Scholar reflects bringing medieval Persian verse to the West

Shahnameh: The Epic of the Persian Kings
youtu.be/R1FMrenkQD4
Dr. Dick Davis, "Warriors, Sufis, Princesses, Dervishes: The Complexities of Persian Culture."
youtu.be/CbA2tZXtGyE
I'm still thinking about re-uploading this one because I didn't do this book justice. I struggled with being inclusive towards everyone & may have been unfair to the Shahnameh as a result. I find there's strong Islamaphobia/anti-Middle Easterners around a lot these days. So I tried to be inviting to the anti folks because perhaps this book could help them to understand the people after reading the history.
My comments about racism could be misleading. :( I'm referring to what Persian folks would consider a huge omission in their text. The Introduction calls it "Episode of the Twelve Champions, the Davazdah Rokh, which occurs during Kay Khosrow's war against Turan." And and Iranian author, "Golshiri claimed that this episode is the heart of the poem." Davis removed this section because it can be viewed as "embarrassingly ethnocentric in its triumphalism." So he removed it to give space to other stories. In his introduction, he specifically lists wanting to keep the stories of Seyavash & also Esfandyar.
For his sources while working on the translation, he primarily used
* Djalal Khaleghi-Motlagh (5 volumes, New York, 1988-1997)
When the details weren't covered in the oldest manuscripts, he turned to the
* Moscow Edition, edited by Bertels (9 Volumes, Moscow, 1966-1971)
It seems like the Moscow Edition is the most comprehensive source that he used. He also lightly relied on two other sources for Esfandyar story & for some descriptive details, respectively.
*Azizollah Jovayni's Hemaseh-ye rostam o esfandyar (Tehran, 1995)
* Jules Mohl (reprinted Paris, 1976)
With all of this, I still think it's a good one for an introduction to Persian Lit, in English anyway. It certainly covers tonnes of generations, so expanding to more editions would be a great idea. I certainly want to find an English translation for the part that was removed. And I'd love to compare the differences with you for the translation you go with.
Overall, I enjoyed this book immensely & in Davis' lectures, he shows such a strong passion for Persian culture & their literature. Though, you could be absolutely right. Perhaps, he may have censored when compiling this. Maybe idealizing the culture or wanting to show Persians in a good light for an introduction.
It's certainly heavily abridged because of how much it's reduced. Because the poetry is rendered out into prose, it certainly could be an adoption as well. A lot is lost because of space limitations. :( So picking and choosing some stories to read in an unabridged format I think would be beneficial.
I included the Reclining Buddha in this video because these 2 faiths can be traced from similar roots. They share some philosophies and are complimentary in other ways as well. I don't mean any disrespect by including an image of a Buddha along side Ganesha. I see them as very complimentary with each other. My apologies if this seems out of place to you.

In this video, I very briefly touch on Nietzsche's philosophy and give a brief summary of what this new biography aims to cover. I haven't read it yet, so these are just my first impressions similar to what I would consider in a bookstore when deciding to purchase a book.
My final review for this book, it gives a brief update on my 1st Impressions. But very little has changed.

My Review:
http://www.biblioatlas.com/2017/08/nausea.html
Quotes in the trailer:
1
“I think I’m the one who has changed: that’s the simplest solution. Also the most unpleasant. But I must finally realize that I am subject to these sudden transformations.” 4-5
2
“Where shall I keep mine? You don’t put your past in your pocket; you have to have a house. I have only my body: a man entirely alone, with his lonely body, cannot indulge in memories; they pass through him. I shouldn’t complain: all I wanted was to be free.” 65
3
“Then I realized what separated us: what I thought about him could not reach him; it was psychology, the kind they write about in books. But his judgement went through me like a sword and questioned my very right to exist. And it was true, I had always realized it; I hadn’t the right to exist. I had appeared by chance, I existed like a stone, a plant or a microbe. My life put out feelers towards small pleasures in every direction. Sometimes it sent out vague signals; at other times I felt nothing more than a harmless buzzing.” 84
4
“He said, ‘How easy and how difficult it is to do one’s duty.’ He had never looked any further into himself; he was a leader.” 85
5
“How can I, who have not the strength to hold to my own past, hope to save the past of someone else?” 95
6
“But as my eyes fell on the pad of white sheets, I was struck by its look and I stayed, pen raised, studying this dazzling paper: so hard and far seeing, so present. The letters I had just inscribed on it were not even dry yet and already they belonged to the past.” 95
7
“The true nature of the present revealed itself: it was what exists, and all that was not present did not exists. The past did not exists. Not at all not things, not even in my thoughts. It is true that I had realized a long time ago that mine had escaped me. But until then I believed that it had simply gone out of my range.” 95-96
8
“Would you write on a desert island? Doesn’t one always write to be read?” 118
9
“He digested anti-intellectualism, Manichaeism, mysticism, pessimism, anarch and egoism: they are nothing more than stages, unfinished thoughts which find their justification only in him.” 118
10
“[Trees] did not want to exist, only they could not hep themselves. So they quietly minded their own business; the sap rose up slowly through the structure, half reluctant, and the roots sank slowly into the earth. But at each instant they seemed on the verge of leaving everything there and obliterating themselves. Tired and old, they kept on existing, against the grain, simply because they were too weak to die, because death could only come to them from the outside; strains of music alone can proudly carry their own death within themselves like and internal necessity: only they don’t exist. Everything existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness and dies by chance. I leaned back and closed my eyes. But the images, forwarded, immediately leaped up and filled my closed eyes with existences: existence is a fullness which man can never abandon.” 133
I hope this trailer gives you lots of things to reflect on ^.^ It's a book packed with fun stuff to ponder. Be sure to check out my book chat on this topic and my review with various talks by Pinker at
http://www.biblioatlas.com/2017/08/the-language-instinct.html
1. “The universality of complex language is a discovery that fills linguists with awe, and is the first reason to suspect that language is not just any cultural investigation but the product of a special human instinct.” (Pinker, 14)
2. “Many creative people insist that in their most inspired moments they think not in words but in mental images.” (Pinker, 61)
3. “The insights behind Universal Grammar are much more interesting, not because they are more general and elegant but because they are about living minds rather than dead tongues.” (Pinker, 97)
4. “The word glamour comes from the word grammar, and since the Chomskyan revolution the etymology has been fitting.” (Pinker, 119)
5. “The brain can hear speech content in sounds that have only the remotest resemblance to speech.” (Pinker, 154)
6. “Alphabets do not and should not correspond to sounds; at best they correspond to the phonemes specified in the mental dictionary.” (Pinker, 187)
7. “To interact with computers we still have to learn their languages; they are not smart enough to learn ours. In fact, it is all too easy to give computers more credit at understanding than they deserve.” (Pinker, 191)
8. “Humans are ingenious at sniffing out minor differences to figure out whom they should despise.” (Pinker, 242)
9. “All infants come into the world with linguistic skills.” (Pinker, 266)
10. “Most of the prescriptive rules of the language mavens make no sense on any level. They are bits of folklore that originated for screwball reasons several hundred years ago and have perpetuated themselves ever since.” (Pinker, 385)

4. “I’m quite illiterate, but I read a lot.” -18
5. “This is a people shooting hat.,’ I said. “I shoot people in this hat.” -22

1. “Rosa Hubermann had a face decorated with constant fury. That was how the creases were made in the cardboard texture of her complexion (33).”
2. “In this case, Rudy has already made up his mind about Liesel Meminger (49).”
3. “You can steal a book, but you can’t read one! (77).”
4. “Again, the mayor’s wife watched the space next to her. A blank-page face . … Once, words had had rendered Liesel useless, but now, when she sat on the floor, with the mayor’s wife at her husband’s desk, she felt an innate sense of power. It happened every time she deciphered a new word or pieced together a sentence. She was a girl. In Nazi Germany. How fitting that she was discovering the power of words (146-147).”
5. “The title, over and over again, as the train prattled on, from one German town to the next. Mein Kampf. Of all the things to save him (160).”
6. “‘If we gamble on a Jew,’ said Papa soon after, ‘I would prefer to gamble on a live one,’ and from that moment, a new routine was born (215).”

10. “It’s probably fair to say that in all the years of Hitler’s reign, no person was able to serve the Fuhrer as loyally as me. A human doesn’t have a heart like mine. The human heart is a line, whereas my own is a circle, and I have the endless ability to be in the right place at the right time. The consequence of this is that I’m always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both. Still, they have one thing I envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die (491).”

Quotes included in the Video:
1. “Mrs Rachel, ponder as she might, could make nothing of it, and her afternoon’s enjoyment was spoiled. ‘I’ll just step over to Green Gables after tea and find out from Marilla where he’s gone and why,’ the worthy woman finally concluded. -3
2. “But this freckled witch was very different, and although he found it rather difficult for his slower intelligence to keep up with her brisk mental processes he thought that he ‘kind of liked her chatter.’ So he said as shyly as usual: ‘Oh, you can talk as much as you like. I don’t mind.’” -21
3. “Which would you you rather be if you had the choice-divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?” -24
4. “When you hear a name pronounced can’t you always see it in your mind, just as if it was printed out? I can; and A-N-N looks dreadful, but A-N-N-E looks so much more distinguished.

5. “’No, Diana, I am not killed, but I think I am rendered unconscious.” -257
6. “He had recourse to his pipe that evening to help him study it out, much to Marilla’s disgust. After 2 hours of smoking and hard reflection Mathew arrived at the solution of his problem. Anne was not dressed like the other girls!” -271

Awesome book! My 1st Murakami Read. I read 1984 a few years ago. This book takes 1984 and blows the storyline out of the proverbial cocoon!
I left out major key quotes that are easy to find. Instead, I included quotes that describe the two major characters, and hint at the themes of "Air Chrysalis." If you read this book, I hope the quotes I did include make you smile. After finding them, I want to re-read this book. The last quote is from the climax, but it doesn't give it away. *Feeling Impish*

Quotes included in the video:
1. “Telling people her name was always a bother. As soon as the name left her lips, the other person looked puzzled or confused.” -4
2. “Whenever something caused her to frown or grimace, however, her features underwent dramatic changes. The muscles of her face tightened, pulling in several directions at once and emphasizing the lack of symmetry in the overall structure. …Instantly, she became a wholly different person, as if a cord had broken, dropping the mask that normally covered her face.” -13
3. “What do I like about math? Hmm. When I’ve got figures in front of me, it relaxes me. Kind of like, everything fits where it belongs.” -56
4. “Tengo did not know for certain whether he wanted to be a professional novelist, nor was he sure he had the talent to write fiction. What he did know was that he could not help spending a large part of every day writing fiction. To him, writing was like breathing.” -26
5. “Don’t let appearances fool you. There’s always only one reality.” -14
6. “She even gets the title wrong: she’s confusing ‘chrysalis’ and ‘cocoon.’ You could pick it apart completely if you wanted to. But the story itself has real power: it draws you in. The overall plot is a fantasy, but the descriptive detail is incredibly real. The balance between the two is excellent.” -20
7. “When he woke up the next day, the world was still there, and things were already moving forward, like the great karmic wheel of Indian mythology that kills every living thing in its path.” -263
8. “Her perceptions underwent no metamorphosis.” -139
9. “What did it mean for a person to be free? She would often ask herself. Even if you managed to escape from one cage, weren’t you just in another, larger on?” -231
10.”Aomame’s heart shrunk to the size of a child’s fist, and stayed that size so long she was afraid it would never start pumping again. But it just as quickly swelled up to normal size and started beating again.” -1022

Quotes included in the Video:
1. “‘In other words,’ said Mr. Coreander, ‘you’re a weakling’”
2. “And further still there was nothing, absolutely nothing. Not a bare stretch, not darkness, not some lighter colour; no, it was something the eyes could not bear, something that made you feel as if you had gone blind. For no eye can bear the sight of utter nothingness.”
3. “‘Oh, nothing can happen more than once,/ But all things must happen one day.” - Uyulala, the Voice of Silence
4. “When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts. That’s why I sided with the powerful and served them - because I want to share their power.” - Gmork the dark wolf.
5. “Only the right name gives beings and things their reality,’ she said. ‘A wrong name makes everything unreal. That’s what lies do.’” - Childlike Empress
6. “‘Empty pages’ was the answer. ‘I can only look back at what has happened. The Neverending Story writes itself by my hand.”
7. “Every door in Fantastica, said the lion, ‘even the most ordinary stable, kitchen, or cupboard door, can become the entrance to the Temple of a Thousand Doors at the right moment.”
8. “The mother-of-pearl door reminded Bastian of Falkor the luck dragon, whose scales glistened like mother-of-pearl. So he decided on that one.”
9. “Without a past, you can’t have a future.”
10. “But every way that leads there is the right one.”
