Victor Pelevin the wildly interesting contemporary Russian novelist who The New Yorker named one of the Best European Writers Under 35 upends any conventional notions of what mythology must be with his unique take on the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur By creating a mesmerizing world where the surreal and the hyperreal collide The Helmet of Horror is a radical retelling of the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur set in an Internet chat room They have never met they have been assigned strange pseudonyms they inhabit identical rooms that open out onto very different landscapes and they have entered a dialogue they cannot escape a discourse defined and destroyed by the Helmet of Horror Its wearer is the dominant force they call Asterisk a force for good and ill in which the Minotaur is forever present and Theseus is the great unknown The Helmet of Horror is structured according to the way we communicate in the twentyfirst century using the Internet yet instilled with the figures and narratives of classical mythology It is a labyrinthine examination of epistemological uncertainty that radically reinvents this myth for an age where information is abundant but knowledge ultimately unattainable

Discover information, advice, and prices for Anselm Kiefer Paul Celan Myth sold for 270 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Through Celans linguistic innovations and Kiefers intense exploration of past and present artistic creation becomes both an expression of horror and an act of commemorationThe art of Anselm Kiefer is rich with references to writers philosophers and poets and his relationship with Paul Celan has been the most complex and intense of these dialogues with the past Celans poetry inextricably linked with the memory of the Holocaust has haunted Kiefers work for more than twentyfive years and has influenced him on every level from the naming of works and exhibitions to the incorporation of symbolic materials from Celans imagerysand straw hair and ashesinto his paintingsLike other German artists of his generation Kiefer began by questioning his own artistic heritage focusing on the iconographic and mythological elements of German culture that had been taken over by Nazi propaganda and subsequently repressed and buried deep in the collective unconscious It was his encounter with Celans work in the early 1980s that first enabled him to escape from the vicious circle of fascination and disgust at the cultural ties that bound him to the Third Reich leading him to confront the subject of the Holocaust and Jewish memory as a whole and to embrace this body of traditions within his artMagnificently illustrated throughout with reproductions of Kiefers bestknown works this book explores the intricate web of associations between the poet and the painter a network that is extended to embrace other artistic and literary figures such as Ingeborg Bachmann and Joseph Beuys 157 illustrations 140 in color

The First World War has obsessed twentiethcentury society as the conflict which marked a watershed in European history and which brought home to that continent the full horror of modern industrialized war It is also the only war where literature played a major part in forming societys perception of it so much so that the phrase war poets is now taken to mean the poets of the First World War Poetry and Myths of the Great War examines the various myths that have grown up around the war It explores the historical and sociological myths of the Edwardian Summer the supposedly banal nature poetry of the prewar Georgian poets and the image of the British public schools as factories for unthinking cannonfodder It analyses the top command of the British Army and the idea that the British were lions led by donkeys Using contemporary material it examines the life mood and morale of junior officers and private soldiers It offers a partial revaluation of the work of the most famous trench poets and examines in detail poetry from lesserknown authors together with the work of authors not usually associated with the war In part a confirmation and in part a rebuttal of many conventional views contemporary diaries and letters as well as popular literature and verse of the day are used to challenge many of our preconceptions A recent critic noting the conformity of opinion about writers of the First World War commented that societys vision of the war and its literature faced death by orthodoxy Poetry and Myths of the Great War is an attempt to show the announcement of that death a little premature a task for which Martin Stephen is well qualified
