Distant Pleasures: Alexander Pushkin and the Writing of Exile

Book Description

In the year A.D. 8, Emperor Augustus sentenced the elegant, brilliant, and sophisticated Roman poet Ovid to exile--permanently, as it turned out--at Tomis, modern Constantza, on the Romanian coast of the Black Sea. The real reason for the emperor's action has never come to light, and all of Ovid's subsequent efforts to secure either a reprieve or, at the very least, a transfer to a less dangerous place of exile failed. Two millennia later, the agonized, witty, vivid, nostalgic, and often slyly malicious poems he wrote at Tomis remain as fresh as the day they were written, a testament for exiles everywhere, in all ages.
The two books of the Poems of Exile, the Lamentations (Tristia) and the Black Sea Letters (Epistulae ex Ponto), chronicle Ovid's impressions of Tomis--its appalling winters, bleak terrain, and sporadic raids by barbarous nomads--as well as his aching memories and ongoing appeals to his friends and his patient wife to intercede on his behalf. While pretending to have lost his old literary skills and even to be forgetting his Latin, in the Poems of Exile Ovid in fact displays all his virtuoso poetic talent, now concentrated on one objective: ending the exile. But his rhetorical message falls on obdurately deaf ears, and his appeals slowly lose hope. A superb literary artist to the end, Ovid offers an authentic, unforgettable panorama of the death-in-life he endured at Tomis.

Book Description

In the first century A.D., Publius Ovidius Naso, the most urbane and irreverent poet of imperial Rome, was banished to a remote village on the edge of the Black Sea. From these sparse facts, Malouf has fashioned an audacious and supremely moving novel. Marooned on the edge of the known world, exiled from his native tongue, Ovid depends on the kindness of barbarians who impale their dead and converse with the spirit world.Then he becomes the guardian of a still more savage creature, a feral child who has grown up among deer. What ensues is a luminous encounter between civilization and nature, as enacted by a poet who once cataloged the treacheries of love and a boy who slowly learns how to give it.

"A work of unusual intelligence and imagination, full of surprising images and insights...One of those rare books you end up underlining and copying out into notebooks and reading out loud to friends."--The New York Times Book Review

A literary classic - really!.......2007-01-05

This is a remarkable book - about what it means to be human - and how we would live our life if we could invent it from scratch with no reference to our culture and family. Malouf writes with a poetic beauty that is enthralling. I have been unable to read any more of his books in case they were not as magical as this one!
Yes it is true he is a fellow Australian, but his ancestry is from Lebanon I think, and the book is set in the ancient Roman empire, so my bias might be taken as minor.

"Brilliant short novel about civilization".......2004-09-02

A brilliant short novel about civilization and it's relative disadvantages. It is ostensibly about the poet Ovid's exile from Rome in the fist century A.D. and his developing relationship weather feral child on the outskirts of the empire: Civilization vs. Nature. The importance of language in the novel is questioned, makes a good departure for a book group that will discuss the impact of words. We used Malouf's flowing novel to launch our book club, and the discussion touched on various topics such as Ovid, religion, Roman history.

Amazing.......2004-03-08

This is an extraordinary, fascinating, and deeply moving book. Malouf brilliantly takes Ovid's exile to the furthest outpost of the Roman empire and makes of it a beautifully written, beautifully executed meditation on imagination and "what it is to be human." It is a strangely liberating book, for, to quote the text, "We are free to transcend ourselves. If we have the imagination for it."

Fully Human!.......2004-01-27

Excellent tale, seeking to define qualities that make one human. Social graces, intelligence, superstition, one with nature. And who better to question the concept but an outstanding poet, whom we know of two millenia after his death. Who was fully human, the boy or the poet, or the villagers? Give me the poet any day.

What Might Have Been.......2003-09-29

"An Imaginary Life" is one of the most mesmerizing books I've ever read and it's certainly the most poetic and beautiful. There isn't much of a plot in this book nor is it a character study. To me, it's more akin to a long prose poem (and Malouf is also a poet as well as a novelist), though it really isn't a prose poem, either. "An Imaginary Life" is a poetic flight of fancy, an impossibly beautiful reverie and a dazzling story of "what might have been yet could never be."

Most of the events this book relates are, of course, imagined. We know that Ovid was exiled and we know to where, but about what happened during that exile, we know nothing, not even the date or exact place of Ovid's death.

Malouf has used this absence of known facts regrding Ovid's exile to weave a gorgeously ephemeral portrait of a man and a boy who, together, find the wellspring of both humanity and love, something neither could have done alone, despite Ovid's reputation in Rome.

While the storyline of "An Imaginary Life" isn't particularly mesmerizing on its own, Malouf's lush, poetic prose makes it so. This is a short book, really more of a novella than a novel and I can't imagine anyone not reading it in one sitting. One sentence simply flows into the next and I was riveted from the first page to the last.

Book Description

The uncommon life of Raissa Oumansov Maritain provides the framework for this first booklength study of her writing and experience as a Catholic contemplative in the world. Focusing on the development of Raissa's spiritual life in relation to her achievement as a writer, Professor Judith Suther follows Raissa and her husband Jacques from Paris at the turn of the century to Princeton, where they lived from 1940 until Raissa's death in 1960. Divided into three parts, Raissa Maritain opens with the necessary background to an understanding of Raissa's later life and work, then moves on to Part II to a discussion of her contributions to the so-called Catholic Renaissance of the 1920s and 30s; her tireless repudiation of the positivism she and Jacques had encountered as students at the Sorbonne; her part in establishing the Thomist study groups which the Maritains hosted at Versailles and Meudon; and the largely private developments of her writing in prose and poetry. Part Three traces the Maritains' expatriation in New York, Rome, and Princeton, and examines Raissa's most fruitful years as a writer. Throughout, Professor Suther draws on previously unmined resources to clarify certain problems that have long confused, troubled, and even embarrassed friends and admirers of the Maritains. These problems include the relations of Raissa and Jacques with her parents and his mother, their vows of chastity and their marriage blanc, Jacques' acquiescence in her alleged hypochondria, and the authenticity of her apparent mystical experiences.

Book Description

Mahmoud Darwish's work has long been considered seminal in shaping modern Arabic poetry. He has received wide international recognition and is regarded as a contender for the Nobel Prize. Often deemed the "Poet of the Resistance," no substantial critical study exists that addresses the complexity of Darwish's poetry in rewriting the homeland and articulating exile. His later poetry consciously marks a move away from his earlier portrayals of identity, home, and poetry, yet many critics have failed to take note of this shift. His oeuvre yokes poetry and history, the political and the poetic, probing identities in perpetual exile. This book examines the complex connections between poetry, myth, lyric, prose, and history in Darwish's poetry. The scholarly articles in this volume situate his work in relation to both modern Arabic and world poetry. In addition, the articles address issues such as the future of poetry, the role of the poet, language, cultural heritage, lyrical modes, as well as the relationship of place and identity.

Book Description

Why was Ovid, the most popular poet of his day, banished from Rome? Why do only two lines survive of his play Medea, reputedly his most passionate, most accomplished work? Between the known details of Ovid's life and these enigmas, Jane Alison has created a haunting drama of psychological manipulation, and an ingenious meditation on love, art and immortality. When Ovid encounters a woman who embodies the fictitious creations of his soon-to-be published Metamorphoses, he is enchanted, obsessed, and inspired. Part healer, part witch, she seems to be myth come to life, and Ovid lures her away from her home by the Black Sea to Rome. But the inexorable pull of ambition leads him to make a Faustian bargain with fate that will betray his newfound muse.

Customer Reviews:

Beautifully written, but the story stumbles a little.......2007-01-03

A very fine first novel, The Love-Artist attempts to breathe life into the Roman poet and libertine, Ovid -- rather like Pygmalion breathing life into his creation, Galatea, in Ovid's own Metamorphoses. The only problem is that the story isn't quite as fully or as well realized as I hoped it would be. The writing is beautiful, full of remarkable, poetic images, but where these should be the embellishment, with the story providing a solid backbone, in The Love-Artist, it's rather the other way around: the images are the primary substance, and the backbone of the story is rather more weak than I would have liked. It feels like the novel a poet would write -- a mixed compliment and criticism.

Still, well worth reading for the beauty of its language alone.

A noble attempt at explaning a classical author.........2004-09-14

I wanted to like Jane Alison's "Love Artist". I really wanted to see if she could bring new life into the story of Ovid. Well, she didn't, and I was left feeling confused and a bit hallow. In this tale, Ovid meets an unusual "sorceress" named Xenia, and they fall in love, and he brings her back from the Black Sea coast to his Rome, where "Metamorphosis" has just came out. There, Ovid gains the patroonship of Augustus's only granddaughter, who dispises her grandfather so much she aborts a pregnancy, thus robbing him of heirs. Anyway, parts of the book are quite erotic, but I don't quite understand how it ended badly for them. Alison is too vague mostly, and this detracts from the story.

Boring.......2004-06-21

This book is so boring that it makes other boring things seem interesting. Nothing happens - it is just a bunch of pretty description. Characters are vague and uninteresting. Plot is boring. I didn't even read the book - I wasted my time just scanning over the page praying to be done soon. And it is finally over. I never knew that 240 pages could strench on for sooooooooooooo long. Even 'Lord of Flies' seems interesting comparing to this. Hell, I'd rather be reading Stephen King than this. That is how bad it is.

Judge a book by its cover.......2004-05-27

I admit, I sometimes judge a book by its cover. In this case, I was not disappointed.

"The Love-Artist" is a rich work. During his banishment from Rome, the great writer Ovid meets Xenia (no, she's not a warrior princess). Xenia is known for her healing talents. She intrigues and inspires Ovid, who returns with her to Rome. But when Ovid decides to use her as the subject for his play "Medea," he creates situations meant to drive Xenia to the brink of madness. How does his muse cope with these manipulations and has Ovid take the charade too far?

Jane Alison's writing is eloquent and full of great imagery and exacting emotion. The characters themselves are well developed and believable.

I highly recommend this book.

A Good Story.......2003-10-24

I really enjoyed The Love-Artist. Well researched and beautifully written, it provides an entertaining look at the events that might have inspired Ovid's poetry and his exile, but it also falls short of being a great book. The mystery of Ovid's exile makes an enthralling narrative engine, and the language recreates Ancient Roman and the wonder and magic of the age. That's great, but it is also disappointing, as Ms. Alison seems to be capable of much more. Talented beyond story-telling, she is capable of creating great literature. Next time, I hope Alison aspires to do just that.

Book Description

Is the lead singer of America’s most notorious rock and roll band really buried in Paris? Years after the Poet’s apparent death, his longtime musical collaborator and friend Roy receives the first of several mysterious postcards bearing cryptic verse, signed only “J.” Trusting his instinct that this is not a hoax, Roy traces the cards to their apparent source—a remote island in the Indian Ocean. There, to his amazement, he is re-united with the man once known as “the snake man,” and hears the remarkable story of his faked death—and the rebirth it made possible. A happily married man, the father of two children, he has discovered the secret to life and is finally free of the demons that had driven him headlong through the American night. Now an enticing question arises: Would destiny smile upon the re-launch of one of the most influential rock and roll bands in history? “... a narrative that ends with a moment of authentic surprise and heart-tugging poignancy.”—Los Angeles Times

Customer Reviews:

I wanted to like it..........2007-09-13

I really did want to. I was a huge Doors fan back in the 60's and have recently started reading the many books on them, including this author's memoir, "Light My Fire", which I liked very much. This novel, however, was so ridiculous that after the fist 30 pages, I should have known what was coming. By about 50 pages in, he had found and solved the mystery. Come on! At that point, I had my own (better) ending picked out, skipped a bunch of the middle, and was laughing sadly at the actual conclusion. The "disguised" names he gave people and places were so silly, and the way he referred to the other 2 band members as simply "the guitar player" and "the drummer" was actually a favor, although I'm sure he didn't mean it to be. I would love to believe that somehow Jim Morrison faked his death and is alive and well out there somewhere, but I know it's not true and this just seems to be a way of making money from a long-past tragedy.

My Eyes Have Seen You.......2007-01-12

On a Halloween night about thirteen years ago, I was listening to a radio program with the psychic Kenny Kingston. He was doing on-the-air readings. Someone called up and said (rather sarcastically, I might add), "Hey, Kenny...why don't you contact the spirit of Jim Morrison..."
In a very matter-of-fact tone, Kenny Kingston replied, "You can't contact the spirit of a person who's not even dead..."

Silence.

Wooly Bumps.

More Silence.

Is Jim Morrison dead? Is he hiding out somewhere? These are questions that Ray Manzarek addresses in the book, The Poet In Exile. I met Ray Manzarek and had a ten minute conversation with him about 10 years ago. Nice man. Very nice man. He's not much of a storyteller and I really think he wants to be, but he's a heckuva nice guy.

Lemme tell you about an experience I had about 20 years ago. I was at the Roxy in Los Angeles and I went there to see a Doors cover band, Wild Child. There was this guy sitting there who looked like Jim Morrison would've looked had he lived to become middle aged. He had short, graying hair and a neatly trimmed goatee and he was dressed in a nice shirt and pants and had a very intense look in his eye. He almost looked kind of nervous being there. I mentioned to my friend, "Hey, who does that guy look like to you?" Without missing a beat, he thought the same thing I did.

It's time for the Doors cover band to hit the stage. The drum crack signaling Light My Fire fills the room and the middle-aged, Jim Morrison lookalike finishes his drink and walks away looking hurt and wounded.

What the???

True story. It still sends chills up my spine.

Is Jim Morrison still alive? Is he hiding out? Is he in exhile? I don't really know and this book doesn't really offer any clear answers. If I was a cynic, I'd tell Ray to stop drinking the bong water, but I don't know. I think Ray really wants him to be alive, but all of us Doors fans want that.

Still after all that, maybe "Jimbo" is right where he needs to be; in the hearts and in the souls of all he touched with his magic. In that case, being physically alive isn't the important thing, knowing that his legacy lives on, is.

Not a horrible book...not a good book...

Peace and Blessings, children of Light...

A Valient Effort.......2006-03-14

Being a life long Doors Fan, I could not resist this book.
The first few chapters really get you thinking about the fact/fiction mysteries within. It's more of a page turner than I thought, and I give Ray Manzarek great credit for his writing ability. It's powerfully subtle with appropriate imagery to the whole rock and roll lifestyle. If it is possible to love Jim Morrison any more than you already do, this book will refresh that love.
Midway through, you will realize that this is purely fiction. You will also empathize with Ray in that you want to believe so much that "The Poet" faked his death and is alive philosophizing from a tropical isle. I loved the many mythological references. These set up another great myth,that it is possible for an Icon to choose to abandon celebrity status when the going gets tough. Has anyone seen Elvis at 7-11? Keep your eyes peeled for Jim on remote beaches...

Excellent.......2005-08-03

Ray's easy narrative makes this a quick, but highly enjoyable read. The story is basically the one we all wish was true, what would happen if Morrison was still alive and had only faked his death in Paris.

This guy needs to get a life.......2004-10-12

Ray Manzarek has said in several interviews that he plans to keep writing fiction. I hope he doesn't.

There aren't enough ways to describe just how badly this book sucked. It opens up with more "Me and Jim were just so buddy buddy" bull from Manzarek, more pompous, self important, boring crap from the money hungry organist about how "Jim just wanted to be a poet, man", and how horribly he felt when he died, or did he, oh yeah, he might be alive, Mr. Mojo Rising, keep sending me the money and I will keep kindling your false hopes.

It then degenerates into excruciatingly pretentious "hypothetical" (you can just see him sitting there grinning while churning this out, rubbing his aged hands in anticipation of the money from naive Doors' fans) conversations with some cornball living in India. If you haven't guessed yet--IT'S JIM MORRISON! Apparently he degenerated from being the genius that he was to being a wuss reading Eastern Philosophy all day with two blonde girls, having totally quit his various addictions, particularly alcohol. After the first four chapters I found myself kind of glad knowing that the whole thing is a fabrication. If Morrison had lived and turned out like this I wouldn't be a fan any longer.

Book Description

With the Spanish conquest of Islamic Granada and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, the year 1492 marks the exile from Europe of crucial strands of medieval culture. It also becomes a symbolic marker for the expulsion of a diversity in language and grammar that was disturbing to the Renaissance sensibility of purity and stability. In rewriting Columbus's narrative of his voyage of that year, Renaissance historians rewrote history, as was often their practice, to purge it of an offending vulgarity. The cultural fragments left behind following this exile form the core of Shards of Love, as María Rosa Menocal confronts the difficulty of writing their history.
It is in exile that Menocal locates the founding conditions for philology--as a discipline that loves origins--and for the genre of love songs that philology reveres. She crosses the boundaries, both temporal and geographical, of 1492 to recover the "original" medieval culture, with its Mediterranean mix of European, Arabic, and Hebrew poetics. The result is a form of literary history more lyrical than narrative and, Menocal persuasively demonstrates, more appropriate to the Middle Ages than to the revisionary legacy of the Renaissance. In discussions ranging from Eric Clapton's adaption of Nizami's Layla and Majnun, to the uncanny ties between Jim Morrison and Petrarch, Shards of Love deepens our sense of how the Middle Ages is tied to our own age as it expands the history and meaning of what we call Romance philology.

Customer Reviews:

well worth reading.......2004-01-08

An exciting account of the multi-lingual medieval cultural stew that gave rise to great lyric poetry. The book is rather repetitive and does not deal much with the poetry itself, but it contains powerful critiques of the nationalist and orthodox tendencies of philology and renaissance studies and a very suggestive linking of medieval lyric poetry to modern rock music.

Maria Rosa Menocal is America's foremost cultural critic.......1997-07-07

Anyone who thinks medieval literary criticism is dry is in for a pleasant shock when they pick up Maria Rosa Menocal's latest book. You may not agree with her, but she will change your world view nonetheless.

Book Description

Called "a major innovator in his art form" by THE NEW YORK TIMES, Baghdad-born poet Abdul Wahab Al-Bayati broke with over fifteen centuries of Arabic poetic tradition to write in free verse and became world famous in the process. LOVE, DEATH, AND EXILE: POEMS TRANSLATED FROM THE ARABIC is a rare, bilingual facing-page edition in both the original Arabic text and a highly praised English translation by Bassam K. Frangieh, containing selections from eight of Al-Bayati's books of poetry.

Forced to spend much of his life in exile from his native Iraq, Al-Bayati created poetry that is not only revolutionary and political, but also steeped in mysticism and allusion, moving and full of longing. This collection is a superb introduction to Al-Bayati, Arabic language, and Arabic literature and culture as well.

On Al-Bayati's death in 1999, THE NEW YORK TIMES obituary quoted him as saying once that his many years of absence from his homeland had been a "tormenting experience" that had great impact on his poetry. "I always dream at night that I am in Iraq and hear its heart beating and smell its fragrance carried by the wind, especially after midnight when it's quiet."

This book touched my soul so much that I shared it with all my friends and family. They cried with me at the intense emotion expressed by the great poet Bayati and his masterful translator, Bassam Frangieh. Frangieh succeeds in doing so much more than translating: he unveils the meaning of the text and presents it faithfully and smoothly in English verse. This book is the essence of loneliness, love and homeland. No one has ever translated Bayati into English before. Frangieh's work is unique and immensely valuable.
