The outbreak of Covid-19 cut short Maria Stepanova's 2020 stay in Cambridge. Back in Russia, she spent the ensuing months in a state of torpor-the world had withdrawn from her, time had "gone numb." When she awoke from this state, she began to read Ovid, and the shock of the pandemic dissolved into the voices and metaphors of a transformative, epochal experience. Her book-length poem Holy Winter, written in a frenzy of poetic inspiration, speaks of winter and war, of banishment and exile, of social isolation and existential abandonment. Stepanova finds sublime imagery for the process of falling silent, interweaving love letters and travelogues, Chinese verse and Danish fairy tales into a polyphonic evocation of frozen time and its slow thawing.As a poet and essayist, Stepanova was a highly influential figure for many years in Moscow's cosmopolitan literary scene until it was strangled by Putin, along with civil liberties and dissent. Like Joseph Brodsky before her, she has mastered modern poetry's rich repertoire of forms and moves effortlessly between the languages and traditions of Russian, European, and transatlantic literature, potently yet subtly creating a voice like no other.Her poetry, which here echoes verses by Pushkin and Lermontov, Mandelstam and Tsvetaeva, is not hermetic. She takes in and incorporates the confusing signals from social networks and the media, opening herself up to the voices of kindred poets like Sylvia Plath, Inger Christensen, and Anne Carson.

What remains and becomes Armenian in a historically informed moment of increased mobility? Taking an anthropological approach with ethnographic data collected from Turkey and Armenia over the course of almost 10 years, this book focuses on themes of migration, human movement, community-making and the conditions that facilitate mobility and place-making. Looking at case studies ranging from bus and taxi drivers travelling between Armenia and Turkey to undocumented migrants deported from Turkey and now living in Armenian cities and Armenian residents of Istanbul, the author provides a vivid description of contemporary non-Muslim life in Turkey through the lives of Armenian Turkish citizens and undocumented migrants from Armenia, as well as Greek, Jewish and Kurdish communities. The author provides both a critical account of how historical and more contemporary forms of violence and structural discrimination have targeted Armenians in the country, and also focuses on the re-articulations and the appropriation of a sense of belonging by these and other minority communities.

This is the first major study to comprehensively analyze the art and architecture of the archdiocese of Bari and Canosa during the Byzantine period and the upheaval of the Norman conquest. The book places Bari and Canosa in a Mediterranean context, arguing that international connections with the eastern Mediterranean were a continuous thread that shaped art and architecture throughout the Byzantine and Norman eras. Clare Vernon has examined a wide variety of media, including architecture, sculpture, metalwork, manuscripts, epigraphy and luxury portable objects, as well as patronage, to illustrate how cross-cultural encounters, the first crusade, slavery and continuities and disruptions in the relationship with Constantinople, shaped the visual culture of the archdiocese. From Byzantine to Norman Italy will appeal to students and scholars of Byzantine art, the medieval Mediterranean and the Italo-Norman world.

"Covering the whole of the ancient Greek experience from its beginnings late in the third millennium BCE to the Roman conquest in 30 BCE, Out of One, Many is an accessible and lively introduction to the Greeks and their ways of living and thinking. In this fresh and witty exploration of the thought, culture, society, and history of the Greeks, Jennifer Roberts traces not only the common values that united them across the seas and the centuries, but also the enormous diversity in their ideas and beliefs." --

"Hittite Anatolia Ceramics and Villages" is a captivating journey into the world of Central Anatolian Iron Age pottery, a mystery that emerged from the pages of Herman Genz's groundbreaking 2005 article, 'Thoughts on the Origin of the Iron Age Pottery in Central Anatolia.' This enigma revolves around the unexpected resemblance between the painted Iron Age pottery of Central Anatolia, dating to a period after the collapse of the Hittite civilization (post-1200 BC), and the pottery from the Middle Bronze Age (MBA) and Early Bronze Age (EBA) periods (pre-1700 BC). This resemblance is perplexing, considering that the EBA/MBA painted ceramic traditions appeared to vanish with the rise of the Hittite state and its more standardized, unpainted ceramic tradition. The central question that echoes through the ages is: How did a distinctive painted ceramic tradition disappear, only to re-emerge after a hiatus of 500 years?

Turkey is a land torn between East and West, between its glorious past and a dangerous, unpredictable future. After the violence of an attempted military coup against President Erdogan in 2016, an event which shocked the world, journalist and novelist Kaya Genç travelled around his country on a quest to find the places and people in whom the contrasts of Turkey's rich past meet. As suicide bombers attack Istanbul, and journalists and teachers are imprisoned, he walks the streets of the famous Ottoman neighbourhoods, telling the stories of the ordinary Turks who live among the contradictions and conflicts of Anatolia, one of the world's oldest civilizations. Featuring new material on the 2023 elections, The Lion and the Nightingale presents the spellbinding story of a country whose history has been split between East and West, between violence and beauty - between the roar of the lion and the song of the nightingale. Weaving together a mixture of memoir, interview and his own autobiography, Genç takes the reader on a contemporary journey through the contradictory soul of the Turkish nation.

In "Oltre il Velo di Iside", il primo volume di una trilogia che promette di riscrivere la storia come la conosciamo, ci addentriamo in un viaggio straordinario, partendo dall'antico Egitto e risalendo fino alla Palestina del I secolo. Questo intrigante studio propone una nuova prospettiva sulla figura di Maria, madre di Gesù, identificata come Maria Boeto, terza moglie di Erode il Grande e figlia di Simone, sacerdote di Alessandria. Qui, nel cuore della corte di Cleopatra e nel fervore del culto di Iside, nascono i primi dubbi che alimentano l'incredibile ipotesi dell'opera. L'opera mette in discussione la tradizione, suggerendo un potenziale sdoppiamento di Maria nei Vangeli e una partecipazione a una congiura per uccidere Erode il Grande. I racconti storici dell'incontro a Tarso di Marco Antonio con Cleopatra e Boeto aprono la possibilità di un segreto ancora più grande. Potrebbe Maria essere nata da una relazione tra la regina Cleopatra e il sacerdote Simone Boeto? E Anna e Gioacchino, tradizionalmente raffigurati come i genitori adottivi di Maria, erano in realtà parenti di Simone Boeto, costretti a nascondere l'origine di Maria per evitare possibili ritorsioni di Marco Antonio? "Oltre il Velo di Iside" è un viaggio alla scoperta di quello che potrebbe essere il più grande segreto che la storia ha nascosto. Un'indagine interdisciplinare che combina storia, religione, e archeologia per svelare la verità oltre il velo.

Ausgangspunkt des aus einer internationalen Tagung hervorgegangenen Sammelbandes ist die These, dass den Kaiserviten des lateinischen Biographen C. Suetonius Tranquillus nicht nur wertvolle Einblicke in die frühkaiserzeitliche Geschichte zu entnehmen, sondern auch einzigartige literarische Ansprüche zuzuerkennen sind. Zur Überprüfung bedienen sich die acht einander ergänzenden, literaturwissenschaftlich ausgerichteten Beiträge des Bandes des Instrumentariums der Narratologie. Untersucht werden u.a. die Multiperspektivität des biographischen Erzählens und die Doppel- bzw. Mehrfacherzählungen; die Darstellungsart negativer Kaiserbilder; syntaktische Besonderheiten (phrases à rallonge) und literarische Zitate; die wechselseitige Wirkung von Strukturen auf Mikro- und Makroebene. So wird insgesamt ein breiter Überblick über die Erzähltechniken von De vita Caesarum geboten, der ein partiell neues Bild Suetons als Literat entwirft und für Forscher*innen zur antiken Literatur ebenso wie für die Allgemeine Literaturwissenschaft von Interesse sein dürfte. Mit Beiträgen von Nicoletta Bruno, Margherita Fantoli, Edoardo Galfré, Matthias Grandl, Robert Kirstein, Alessio Mancini, Dennis Pausch, Verena Schulz.

Cass and Erin are children of light and darkness. They will need both to rescue the Furies and make it out of the Underworld before it's too late. Finding out he was part Fury was weird enough, but now Cass is thrown into a battle he's not sure he wants to fight. He just wants to go back to his normal life, but the gods (and his sister, Erin) have other plans. With the Furies imprisoned in Tartarus, Apollo and the goddess of nightmares are busy gathering the pieces for their war against Olympus. To stop them, Cass and Erin must harness all of their demi-Fury powers to go to the Underworld and bring the Furies home. It's not going to be easy. Saving the Furies means they'll need to stay one step ahead of the goddess of nightmares, break into the dungeon of Tartarus, and battle the monsters who are gathering in the Underworld. They have three days to outsmart the gods, unite their power, and get their family back before they're trapped in the Underworld forever.
