✦ Synopsis


The reader will find here the true aftermath of the adventures of Ahab, self-described captain, survivor of his last fight against a giant fish. We will see how this retiree with a wooden leg tried to sell his whale story to the highest bidder - in the form of a Broadway musical, then a Hollywood script. Along the way, we will encounter Cole Porter and his chorus girls, but also Cary Grant, Orson Welles, Joseph von Sternberg and Scott Fitzgerald, drowned in his alcohol, as well as a host of producers, shady to varying degrees. We will remember the passage of young Ahab embarking at seventeen for London in the hope of playing Shakespeare there, and the circumstances which presided over the meeting of the librettist Da Ponte with Herman Melville in 1838. We will learn, ultimately, the best way to make the Manhattan cocktail a success and with what tenacity the indestructible Moby Dick seeks revenge on his nemesis.

Brill’s Companion to Prequels, Sequels,
✍ Robert Simms 📂 Library 📅 2018 🏛 Brill 🌐 English

The epics of ancient Greece and Rome are unique in that many went unfinished, or if they were finished, remained open to further narration that was beyond the power, interest, or sometimes the life-span of the poet. Such incompleteness inaugurated a tradition of continuance and closure in their rece

Subjectivity and medieval Arabic adab
✍ Kaufmann, Kathryn Scott 📂 Library 📅 1997 🏛 University of California 🌐 English

Adab works of the classical Arabic tradition claim to form the person; hence they resonate with contemporary theoretical interest in the construction of subjectivity, or the self. The early adab works of 'Abdallah Ibn al-Muqaffa' (d. 757 CE) construct a vulnerable subjectivity that requires protecti
