Lelki béke
Tisztelt Barátaink! A sokadik alkalom, hogy Kortárs Írók Antológiája jelenik meg a szerkesztésünkben. Az Illír kolostornál (Illyrian Monastery) küldetésünknek tekintjük, hogy olyan könyveket készítünk, amelyek ihlete és múzsája az Isteni sugallat. Ide tartozik a hit és és azok az érzések amelyek betöltenek bennünket. Azok a helyzetek, azok a történések vannak szerkesztett és írt könyveinkben, amelyek a tapasztalásból és megérzésből vannak papírra írva, novellákba foglalva írók és költők részéről. Sorrendiséget nem kell keresni a novellák között és a legtöbb esetbe változtatás nélkül vanak a maguk egyszerű szépségében. Kolostorunk 2000 éve létezik és megfelelve a mindenkori törvényeknek az 5056353 számon nyílvántartásba vett, adószámmal rendelkező egyházi szervezet vagyunk. Pál apostol levelezésében is feltűnik már a nevünk. Haszonra nem törekszünk és ha valami adományba érkezik hozzánk igyekszünk közkincsé tenni. Tisztelettel köszönjük a részvevők munkáját Goran Episcopus szerkesztő
The Book of Fathers
When in 1705 Kornell Csillag's grandfather returns destitute to his native Hungary from exile, he happens across a gold fob-watch gleaming in the mud. The shipwrecked fortunes of the Csillag family suddenly take a new and marvelous turn. The golden watch brings an unexpected gift to the future generations of firstborn sons: clairvoyance. Passed down from father to son, this gift offers the ability to look into the future or back into history–for some it is considered a blessing, for others a curse. No matter the outcome, each generation records its astonishing, vivid, and revelatory visions into a battered journal that becomes known as The Book of Fathers. For three hundred years the Csill...

I, Little Asylum
A lyrical account of a childhood spent in a castle disguised as a psychiatric clinic, written by the daughter of Félix Guattari. A moment later, Lacan is chattering with me, and giving me some crayons to draw with. —from I, Little Asylum Founded in 1951 and renowned in the world of psychiatry, the experimental psychiatric clinic of La Borde sought to break with the traditional internment of the mentally ill and to have them participate in the material organization of collective life. The clinic owed much of its approach to psychoanalyst and philosopher Félix Guattari, who was its codirector with Jean Oury until 1992. In this lyrical chronicle of a childhood at La Borde, Félix Guattari's...
Folklore and Literature
Literature's dependence on a few folktale plots is a cliche, and the significance of structuralist theory cannot have escaped many scholars, so Rosenberg's insistence on the interrelation of folklore and literature is nothing new. He surveys the foundational work of Aarne, Thompson, and Propp and the oral-formulaic theories of Parry and Lord, but the references are too elliptical to be clear to nonspecialists, while explanations of methodology will be redundant to folklorists. Bits of good material, of interest to medievalists and other literary scholars (especially on Beo wulf and on Chaucerian narrative), are buried in this disjointed collection of chapters. Serious editorial lapses include the complete absence of footnotes, forcing inappropriate supplementary matter into the body of the text and further blurring its weak structure. The parity of literary and narrative-folklore studies is the author's underlying theme, but his preoccupation with status in the academic hierarchy does nothing to make his arguments on the symbiosis of the two disciplines more convincing. - Patricia Dooley, Univ. of Washington Lib.

Interpreting Folklore
" . . . Dundes has produced a work which will be useful to both students and teachers who wish to broaden their understanding of modern folklore." —Center for Southern Folklore Magazine "It is impossible ever to remain unimpressed with [Dundes'] excursuses, however much one may be in disagreement (or not) with his conclusions." —Forum for Modern Language Studies Often controversial, Alan Dundes's scholarship is always provocative, perceptive, and intelligent. His concern here is to assess the material folklorists have so painstakingly amassed and classified, to interpret folklore, and to use folklore to increase our understanding of human nature and culture.
Aivazovsky
The seascapes of Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900) made his name in Russia, his native country where he was a painter of the court of Nicholas I, yet his fame barely extended beyond these borders. Master of the Sublime, he made the ocean the principal subject of his work. Sometimes wild and raging, sometimes calm and peaceful, the life of the ocean is composed of as many allegories as the human condition. Like Turner, whom he knew and whose art he admired, he never painted outside in nature, nor did he make preliminary sketches; his paintings were the fruit of his exceptional memory. With more than 6,000 canvasses, Aivazovsky was one of the most prolific painters of his time.
