The Kalevala I Music & Countrysides Biblio Atlas 2019-05-26 | The Kalevala is a great little book of mythology & parables from Finland. It’s heaps of fun with one of the most clever creation stories I’ve read. During creation, our main character takes a moment to simply sit & think.

Cancer Ward I Why I Like it So Much Biblio Atlas 2019-05-14 | Discussion on why I like this book so much, how it affected the way I look at literature now, what I learned from it as a writer, the power that books have. Completely spoiler free, consider this discussion to be a verbal trailer to entice you to read this masterpiece of human experience.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?

Poetic Edda I Dictionary of Mythological Tales Biblio Atlas 2019-04-11 | Poetic Edda is essentially an amazing portable library that can easily lead you to a variety of other books because so many mythological creatures are brefly mentioned. Many of these names actually refer to other stories. I'd consider it a dictionary or reference book of stories rather than simply a single epic poem. The downside is how condensed the information is makes it rather difficult to read for those who are unfamiliar with Norse Mythology. The upside is this makes it a fabulous book for re-reading because there's always something new to discover.My quotes & information mentioned are all from the introduction in the Oxford World’s Classics edition pictured on your screen. This video is simply a brief introduction for this book with some background information for newbies or folks who are curious about if they'd like to read it or not.A list all the pronounced names in order of appearance, in case I mispronounced them so much, they aren’t recognizable for Norwegian speakers.Snorri SturlusonPoetic Edda Prose EddaYounger EddaFinnish KalevalaOvid’s Metamorphoses India’s MahabharataThomas GrayWilliam MorrisW.

Greek Writing System Feat. Ataraxia Alpha I Study with Me Biblio Atlas 2019-04-03 | The Greek alphabet boasts a couple of familiar letters for English speakers and plenty for mathematicians. It's a fairly easy one to learn the writing for because it still shares so many elements with English.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.comA 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)* AtaraxiaI do not own this music, it was downloaded from ataraxiaalpha.bandcamp.com with the permission of the artist.
Japanese Hiragana Writing w/ Traditional Music I Study with Me Biblio Atlas 2019-03-05 | This video features the Japanese Hiragana Writing System. It’s used for writing native Japanese words. The previous Japanese writing video featured Katakana, which is used for phonetically spelling out foreign words. These two systems and Kanji are all used together as a unified way of writing. Along with Romanji of course. 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!I do not own these songs.

The Metamorphoses I A Collection of Stories Biblio Atlas 2019-03-02 | Ovid's The Metamorphoses is a magnificent collection of Greek and Roman mythology. Ovid compiles many stories that are familiar to us, even today, and somehow changes them so they'll always have moments to surprise us.

Shahnameh I Expansive History of a Culture Biblio Atlas 2018-12-22 | Shahnameh was a great book, I feel like it’s a comprehensive history of Persia that follows the lineage of kings. It’s so much more than this because it includes the ladies who loved these kings. Mythology fills the pages at the beginning. Ethics, battles and evolving relationships fill the remaining pages.Scholar reflects bringing medieval Persian verse to the Westyoutu.be/zTMA-T7Qb8sShahnameh: The Epic of the Persian Kingsyoutu.be/R1FMrenkQD4Dr. Dick Davis, "Warriors, Sufis, Princesses, Dervishes: The Complexities of Persian Culture."youtu.be/CbA2tZXtGyEI'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.
Bhagavad Gita I An Eternal Conversation Biblio Atlas 2018-11-18 | The Bhagavad Gita is one of India's most beloved epics & is nested inside the world's longest epic, the Mahabharata. This very short conversation has influenced people and cultures for generations. And its influence cannot be overstated.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.My written thoughts for related texts that include some more background information:The Mahabharata: World's Longest Epichttp://www.biblioatlas.com/2018/07/the-mahabharata.html The Ramayana: India's Epic Love Storyhttp://www.biblioatlas.com/2017/03/the-ramayana.html Sita’s Ramayana: Her Side of the Epichttp://www.biblioatlas.com/2017/04/sitas-ramayana.htmlIndian Philosophy: A Sourcebookhttp://www.biblioatlas.com/2017/03/indian-philosophy.html

Nausea By Sartre I Book Trailer Biblio Atlas 2017-08-24 | Nausea By Sartre I Book TrailerMy Review:http://www.biblioatlas.com/2017/08/nausea.htmlQuotes 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.” 4-52“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.” 653“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.” 844“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.” 855“How can I, who have not the strength to hold to my own past, hope to save the past of someone else?” 956“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.” 957“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.” 95-968“Would you write on a desert island? Doesn’t one always write to be read?” 1189“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.” 11810“[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
The Language Instinct I Postcard Trailer Biblio Atlas 2017-08-05 | The Language Instinct By Steven PinkerI 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.html1. “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)Feel free to leave any requests in the comments!Find me at:goodreads.com/user/show/26626256-biblio-curiousTwitter/BiblioAtlasPintrest/BiblioAtlashttps://www.BiblioAtlas.comAll of the photos are from pexels.com

(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.

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.

1Q84 A Trailer in Quotes Biblio Atlas 2017-03-05 | 1Q84: Shadow Ninja ButterfliesAwesome 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*Feel free to leave any requests in the comments!Find me on Goodreads:goodreads.com/user/show/26626256-biblio-curiousMore posts at https://www.BiblioAtlas.comQuotes included in the video:1. “Telling people her name was always a bother.

Hmm. When I’ve got figures in front of me, it relaxes me.

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.” -265. “Don’t let appearances fool you. There’s always only one reality.” -146. “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.” -207. “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.” -2638. “Her perceptions underwent no metamorphosis.” -1399. “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?” -23110.”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.” -1022All of the quotes are from 1Q84 by Haruki MurakamiAll of the photos are from pexels.comThe music is: "You had to be" By E's Jammy Jams
