Over 27 million people visited the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. Countless more experienced the fair through the wondrous images of C. D. Arnold, the era's foremost architectural photographer. Through his luminous pictures, Arnold became the event's leading historian, publicist, and visual philosopher. This gallery of Arnold's photographs, painstakingly retouched to achieve a new radiance, presents a magnificent tribute to the "White City" of shining Beaux-Arts buildings.In addition to its visual tour of the Exposition's extensive buildings and grounds, this lavish book also celebrates a city that treasures its architecture. The classical Greek and Roman design expressed by the Chicago World's Fair defined the course of American monumental building for decades to come, and the text accompanying these historic photographs provides fascinating interpretations of the Exposition's influence on American building styles and tastes. From conception to closing day and beyond, Spectacle in the White City offers glimpses of past splendor that will be treasured by Chicagoans, history buffs, and lovers of fine art and photography.

Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra est une œuvre philosophique magistrale. Elle a bouleversé la pensée de l'Occident. " Nietzsche démolit, il sape ", disait Gide. Il remet définitivement l'homme en question. Poète-prophète, Zarathoustra se retire dans la montagne et revient parmi les hommes pour leur parler. Sa leçon essentielle : " Vouloir libère " Son leitmotiv : rejeter ce qui n'est pas voulu, conquis comme tel, tout ce qui est subi. C'est le sens du fameux : " Deviens celui que tu es. " La vertu est souvent le droit du plus faible, elle paralyse tout, désir, création et joie. Le surhomme nietzschéen est celui qui a la plus grande diversité d'instincts qui s'opposent puissamment mais qu'il maîtrise. La pensée de Nietzsche est un défi permanent. Elle échappe à tout système politique. La ferveur de sa poésie, sa vigoureuse drôlerie ont donné à Nietzsche une célébrité universelle. Nos contemporains n'ont le choix qu'entre lui et Marx.

The result is a carefully selected anthology that will be welcomed by lovers of poetry, students and teachers alike.

Lyric poetry blossomed in 19th-century Germany under the fertilizing influence of Romanticism with its focus on the primacy of the imagination, worship of nature and childhood, dreaminess and nostalgia and preoccupation with thoughts of night and death. Although strictly defined as flourishing from 1798 to 1835, Romanticism is not timebound and German Romantic poetry was written both before and after these dates. Indeed, the 131 poems in this volume range in date from 1770 to 1903.Collected here are great romantic poems by 23 Goethe, Schiller, Hiilderlin, Novalis, Tieck, Brentano, Ruckert, Heine, Miirike, Storm, Nietzsche, and 12 more. Stanley Appelbaum has provided excellent new literal English translations of the poems on facing pages, along with an informative introduction and concise evaluations of each poet. This is a wonderful opportunity for any student of German or lover of poetry to enjoy a rich sampling from one of the world’s great poetic traditions.
