Hardback. Condition: Fair. In 1993, a relatively unknown psychotherapist from Birmingham, Alabama, self-published a spiritual adventure novel with an intriguing title: The Celestine Prophecy. James Redfield and his partner-wife, Salle, then peddled it to bookstores throughout the South, giving a copy to any bookseller who would agree to read it. The word of mouth quickly spread, and the Redfields sold 100,000 copies before Warner Books picked it up and made it the bestselling American book in the world in 1995 and 1996. Today there are more than 12 million copies of The Celestine Prophecy in print in more than 50 languages around the world.A decade later, in March 2004, the principal filming of The Celestine Prophecy began in the tropical forest of Washington Oaks State Gardens, south of St. Augustine, Florida. Directed by Armand Mastrioanni from a screenplay co-written by James Redfield and Emmy-nominated producer Barnet Bain, the film dramatically brings the Nine Insights from printed page to silver screen. This making-of-the-movie book documents this astonishing achievement and takes you inside the imagination of the remarkable people who came together to fulfill James Redfield's ultimate vision.From preproduction to the final wrap and editing, here are the producers, the director, actors, and crew caught in the moviemaking process. Lavishly illustrated with more than 160 full-color photos, The Celestine Prophecy: The Making of the Movie features production stills, production design artwork, and frames from the movie.Here, too, is a narrative not only of the journey from book to film, but also of the heroic quest that John, played by Matthew Settle, takes for us and with us. On one level, it is a riveting adventure story fraught with danger and suspense. On another level, it is a spiritual journey with the power to transform. Just as the novel's Nine Insights ignited a worldwide dialog about spiritual awareness and the evolutionary future of humanity, the film is certain to reignite and expand that dialog to a whole new audience.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Enlarged. By focusing on the story of Hector, James M. Redfield presents an imaginative perspective not only on the Iliad but also on the whole of Homeric culture. In an expansive discussion informed by a reinterpretation of Aristotle's Poetics and a reflection on the human meaning of narrative art, the analysis of Hector leads to an inquiry into the fundamental features of Homeric culture and of culture generally in its relation to nature. Through Hector, as the "true tragic hero of the poem," the events and themes of the Iliad are understood and the function of tragedy within culture is examined. Redfield's work represents a significant application of anthropological perspectives to Homeric poetry. Originally published in 1975 (University of Chicago Press), this revised edition includes a new preface and concluding chapter by the author.…

Leinen / Cloth. Condition: Gut. 287 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben und bestoßen, sonst guter Zustand / Binding slightly rubbed and scuffed, otherwise in good conditition. - PREFACE Wilamowitz' book on Homer grew out of the First World War; mine (to compare small things with great) out of two weeks' jury service in the Cook County Criminal Court building. Like him I felt the need to "submerge myself in the depths of a true masterpiece"; every day I took with me to Twenty-sixth and California an india-paper Homer. There were no cases to hear and nothing to do; we spent our days sitting at long tables, a room full of silent men. It was like being in prison, except that they let us go home at night. I was thrown, as they say, "on my own resources"; I went back to the book I knew best. There I slowly read and considered, not the entire Iliad, but the story of Hector, which I saw for the first time as a self-contained and partly detachable whole. As I thought, about Hector, my affection for him grew. I found in him a martyr to loyalties, a witness to the things of this world, a hero ready to die for the precious imperfections of ordinary life. I became Hector's partisan; I felt he had been neglected by the critics, unjustly shaded by the glamour of Achilles.1 I saw his story as that of an admirable man who falls into error without ceasing to be admirable and who dies a death which is tragic because we find it inevitable and in some sense his own fault, but undeserved. For the first time I thought that I understood Aristotle's praise of the story of such a hero as the best kind of tragic plot. I determined to write something about, and in praise of, Hector and Homer. The present book thus grew out of an interest in, and even perhaps an identification with, one hero. As the book has grown, it has become less personal. I found myself working from part to whole and from text to context. As I worked outward from the center, I found that around Hector's story I could cluster and sort impressions and observations accumulated through the years. I have avoided involvement in the Homeric Question. My premises are broadly Unitarian;2 for me, as for others, the Homeric Question has become the question of Homer's sources, and if compelled to commit myself I should be inclined to favor the conception of the monumental composer as a dictating oral poet, but I have not argued these premises.
