Excerpt from Encounters: An Anthology From the First Ten Years of Encounter Magazine Finally, if I were to attempt to express what it is we have been about m a few words, I would put it this way: a review is a way of looking at the world, a record of glimpses and perspectives, concerned with the colour of things and not only with their meaning, with the visible surface Of life as well as its hidden patterns. A review is also a way of talking with the world, and, if worth listening to at all, alive with a sense of conversation, a feeling for the continuous dialogue which alone, in our days of agitated pictures and violent excitements, can sustain an imaginative interest in words and texts.

Excerpt from New Literary Values: Studies in Modern Literature This is not to say that no criticism is good which does not take the form of philosophical investiga tion, but that such investigation must precede any further discussion. Criticism must assume a stable standard of values and constant points of reference, and the discovery of these must be made by each critic for himself. Otherwise there cannot even be an intelligent handling of vocabulary. What can the critic do with such words as aesthetic, form, ideal, significant, unless he has satisfied himself about their meaning by his own investigations? How often do we see quite un defined terms flung about loosely in critical writing which passes for profound! Definition of terms is no simple matter it is not the beginning of a thought-process but the end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Queen of Sheba: Opera in Four Acts, From a d104 by Mosenthal Kano awaits thecoming of the Queen of Sheba. He has dispatched his favorite courtier, Assad, to escort the royal guest to Jerusalem. Assad, the betrothed of Sulamith, the High Priest's daughter, was to celebrate his nuptials during the Queen' s sojourn in the Jewish capital; but at the foot of the Lebanon he has surprised the beautiful queen in a bath, and, inflamed by her charms, has become deeply enam ored with her, as she with him. On his return to Jerusalem he 18 met by his betrothed and her father, but conscious of his guilty passion he shrinks from their welcomes. Solomon who half divines the truth, questions him closely, whereupon Assad confesses the truth so far as it is known to himself, for he is not yet aware of the fact that it was the Queen herself whom he had espied in the bath. Solomon exhorts himto remain faithful to Sulamith; Assad promises obedience, but finds his resolution shaken when, at the Queen's reception of the royal court, she raises her veil and gazes at him. Dining the night the Queen has a secret meeting with Assad in the royal gardens and urges him to abandon Sulamith and to return with her (the Queen) to Arabia. The day set for his nuptials with Sulamith arrives Solomon himself appears in the temple to witness the celebration Assad seems inclined to return to his faith, but on seeing the Queen enter the sacred edifice, his unhahowed passxon revives, and be publicly spurns his devoted bride. Solomon, suspecting the truth, conjures the Queen to solve this mystery, but she declares that she does not know Assad and has never seen him. The latter is condemned to death by the priests, but the execution of judgment is stayed by the Ling. The Queen pleads for him, but Solomon remains deaf to her prayers, where upon the Queen departs from Jerusalem. Sulamith declares her intention to retire from the world and to devote her remaining days to God. Assad, whose life has been spared, but who is condemned by the King to perpetual banishment, strays repent nully in the Syrian desert. Once more he meets the false Queen who exhausts her seductive eloquence, but m vain. Assad remains deaf to her pleadings and is resolved to atone his guilt by sincere repentance. He expires in the arms of Sulamith who, accompanied by her maidens, is traversing the desert on her way to her cloistral seclusion and has found her faithless lover fainting and dying.

In this major survey of theoretical aspects and contemporary authors of science fiction, one of its foremost investigators argues for a radically new approach. For Darko Suvin, science fiction writings are neither prophecy nor the folklore of technology, but at their best parables for our times. Suvin lays the foundations for understanding their narrative logic and ideological horizons, and then examines a crucial group of modern authors. These comprise the diverging stances of Asimov, Le Guin, and Dick in the USA, Yefremov and the Strugatskys in the USSR, and Lem and the Brauns in Central Europe. The book culminates in a discussion of science fiction as metaphor, applied to a text by Cordwainer Smith as the bad conscience of Reaganism.

A Poem at the Right Moment collects, and preserves, poems—called catus —that have circulated orally for centuries in South India. The poems are remarkable for their wit and precision, their lyrical insight on the commonplace, their fascination with sensual experience, and their exploration of the connection between language and desire. Taken together the catus offer a penetrating critical vision and an understanding of the classical traditions of Telugu, Tamil, and Sanskrit. Each poem is presented in a contemporary English translation along with the Indian-language original. An introduction and a concluding essay explore in detail the stories and texts that comprise the catu system. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1998.
