Giuseppe Culicchia"Radici"Il festival dell'identità(coltivata, negata, ritrovata"Circolo dei Lettoriwww.circololettori.itA Torino apre Radici: voci e pensieri per chiederci chi siamo e interrogarci sul nostro rapporto con il mondoL'omaggio a Claudia Cardinale poi tante voci tra letteratura, arti e pensieri: David Grossman, Fernando Aramburu, Judith Koelemeijer, Milo Manara, Francesco Piccolo, Emanuele Trevi, Nadia Terranova, Vivian Lamarque, Mauro Covacich, Luciano Lanna, Silvia Ballestra, Caterina d'Amico, Valeria Parrella, Lucio Caracciolo, Massimo Polidoro, Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, Massimo Zamboni, Alessandro Aresu, Annalisa Terranova… Radici, il festival dell'identità (coltivata, negata, ritrovata) apre a Torino e torna a interrogarsi sul tema dell'identità e sul nostro rapporto con noi stessi e con l'Altro da noi. Alla luce di ciò che accade intorno a noi, in un mondo che sembra accelerare verso un cambiamento profondo e radicale di ciò che conoscevamo – e spesso davamo per scontato – un cambiamento che investe ogni ambito, dalla geopolitica alla sessualità, dalla religione al linguaggio, Radici inaugura la 3. edizione.  Il festival è un progetto della Fondazione Circolo dei lettori a cura di Giuseppe Culicchia con il contributo della Regione Piemonte-Assessorato Regionale all'Emigrazione; Radici è in programma da questo giovedì fino a domenica, 13-16 novembre, tra il Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici e il Cinema Romano. Dopo il successo delle precedenti edizioni, il programma propone una nuova serie di incontri, lezioni e spettacoli che affrontano il tema dell'identità — individuale e collettiva — e della memoria, in un contesto sociale sempre più complesso. Attraverso grandi voci e opere, Radici indaga come i cambiamenti culturali abbiano trasformato la nostra percezione del sé, invitando a riflettere sulla consapevolezza della propria individualità e del mondo.  Il programma, da giovedì 13 a domenica 16 novembre Radici prende il via al Circolo  dei lettori e delle lettrici giovedì 13 novembre con l'incontro I Musei regionali dell'Emigrazione piemontese: Frossasco e Santa Maria Maggiore (h 16), con Piemontesi nel Mondo, Ugo Bertello, Davide Rosso, Claudio Cottini, Rosanna Napoli, Chiara Monferrini, Joaquin Coniglio e Alfons J.

On Lit with Charles, we usually dive into novels, short stories, and poetry - but in this episode, we're doing something a little radical. From the longest literary forms to one of the shortest: the aphorism.An aphorism is a short, striking statement - often just a line or two - that captures a deep universal truth. It's a form beloved by some of history's greatest minds: Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Friedrich Nietzsche, to name a few.Today's guest, James Geary, is an American writer and lifelong devotee of this deceptively simple art. From his early fascination with language to his career as an editor at Time magazine and later as a lecturer at Harvard, James has explored the timeless power of the aphorism - those brief sentences that linger far longer than they last. His works include The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism and Wit's End: What Wit Is, How It Works, and Why We Need It.We talk about what makes an aphorism work, why brevity can sometimes reveal more than verbosity, and how these tiny truths continue to shape how we think and write.I loved this conversation - it's a thoughtful, witty, and illuminating dive into the distilled essence of language. I hope you enjoy it too.If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a review — it really helps others discover the podcast.

What sparks fly at a holiday get together in Dublin? Hopefully the good kind…James Joyce, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.   Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast.

Go to audiobooklibrarycard.com or follow the link in the show notes.   Today's story is considered one of the great short stories of English literature. Appearing as the final tale in his short story collection, Dubliners, James Joyce builds the complex atmosphere of a Holiday dance in Dublin.   One thing to look out for is how the point of view of the narrative changes constantly, almost like it's a living thing. The use of phrasing is also noteworthy, sometimes sharp and staccato, and sometimes smooth and flowing. It's as though the language itself has a tempo, texture, and pitch all its own. As though the story were a musical piece in and of itself. Hopefully this becomes even clearer in an audio format. I hope you like it.     And now, The Dead, Part 1 of 2,  by James Joyce   Follow this link to get The Audiobook Library Card for a special price of $6.99/month       Follow this link to subscribe to our YouTube Channel:       Follow this link to subscribe to the Arsène Lupin Podcast:     Follow this link to follow us on Instagram:     Follow this link to follow us on Facebook:

Pour cette 42è édition des Assises de la Traduction, l'Association Atlas ouvre le débat sur le thème de la censure et de l'autocensure dans la traduction.  Traduire, est-ce trahir ? Comment dire ce qui ne peut s'écrire dans certains contextes ?  Depuis plus de 40 ans, les Assises de la Traduction réunissent à Arles, traducteurs et passionnés de littérature, auteurs et amoureux de langues. Cette année, le thème retenu est «Traduire sous contraintes».  Un thème que connait bien Arezou Dadvar, traductrice. Elle a traduit King-Kong Théorie de Virginie Despentes en persan : «un projet assez difficile depuis le début. Je trouvais ce texte unique. Je me suis lancée dans cette traduction, j'avais proposé cette traduction à cinq éditeurs qui ont tous refusé. Finalement, je me suis autocensurée en traduisant et ai proposé une version modifiée, mais cette version n'a pas passé la censure. Je suis allée voir un éditeur à Paris».  En effet, Tinouche Nazmjou publie depuis Paris des auteurs iraniens ou afghans qui écrivent en langue persane et qui sont censurés dans leurs pays. Les thèmes liés au désir, à la passion et les mots du sexe, ou liés à l'alcool, sont proscrits dans les écrits : «Les écrivains envoient leurs textes au Bureau de la Censure et des gens jugent leurs écrits pour savoir s'ils sont conformes aux lois islamiques du pays. Ce sont donc parfois des pages qui sont arrachées ou des écrits qui sont totalement censurés, mais il y a énormément de moyens de détourner cette censure. On va ruser et trouver un «code» entre le lecteur et le traducteur». Si la censure est un thème majeur de la rencontre de cette année, la contrainte est également inhérente à la difficulté que peut rencontrer un traducteur face à des poèmes ou des auteurs tels que James Joyce qu'on a décrits comme «intraduisibles». Xavier Luffin est, entre autres, traducteur littéraire de l'œuvre de l'écrivain soudanais Abdelaziz Baraka Sakin — dont le romain Le corbeau qui m'aimait a été publié aux éditions Zulma «Un texte difficile à traduire, car il y a de nombreux dialectes qu'il faut réussir à restituer».   Invités :  - Arezou Dadvar, traductrice du français vers le persan et traductologue. Elle travaille sur la sociologie de la traduction littéraire en Iran et notamment sur les thèmes de la liberté expression et de la traduction littéraire - Tinouche Nazmjou, traducteur, éditeur, metteur en scène.

It was shortlisted for consideration but not used.Study Notes:James Joyce and Religion: Despite rejecting institutional Catholicism, Joyce's works remain steeped in biblical allusions and theological discourse.Key Theological Themes:Leopold Bloom as a Christ-like Figure: Displays kindness and mercy; parallels the Good Samaritan; suffers ridicule.Stephen Dedalus as the Prodigal Son: Rejects traditional faith but remains haunted by religious guilt.Eucharistic Imagery: Themes of sacramental participation, consumption, and the Last Supper are subverted and interrogated.Resurrection Motif: The narrative structure of Ulysses suggests renewal and restoration despite its modernist ambiguity.Joyce's Language and the Bible:Ulysses employs a Babel-like linguistic multiplicity, blending scriptural and secular voices.The Bible serves as both a literary device and a cultural foundation for Joyce's exploration of human destiny.Joyce's Vision of History:The novel suggests a break from cyclical religious traditions towards a transformative, apocalyptic understanding of Christian history.Modernist Challenges to Faith:Joyce questions religious dogma while recognizing the Bible's narrative power.His work reflects a broader modernist skepticism towards objective truth and divine revelation.Implications for Christian Readers:Ulysses invites both critique and engagement from a biblical perspective.The novel resists clear moral conclusions, reflecting modernist uncertainties about faith and meaning.Part Two Joyce's Finnegans Wake and Biblical Themes1. Creation Ex Nihilo and the Cyclical Nature of HistoryFinnegans Wake reflects the biblical idea of creation out of nothing, presenting history as a continuous cycle of rise and fall.The novel enfolds all human history into a single, ever-repeating narrative of civilization and the cosmos.2.

你听到的是跳岛「读懂金钱」付费系列节目的第二期试听片段,「读懂金钱」付费专题目前只在小宇宙app和网易云音乐上线。如果你对我们的内容感兴趣,欢迎你在这两个平台付费支持我们! 19世纪的英国,一个新的概念悄然兴起——“经济学人”,也就是以完全追求物质利益为目的而进行经济活动的人。这一永远理性、终极利己的形象,很快成为了庞大经济理论中的基础假设。 很少有人提到的是,几乎与此同时,同样是在英国,现代小说也从上天入地、刀山火海的骑士传奇中分化出来,坠入账单、婚嫁、租房、还贷的现实世界。 这是巧合吗?浪漫故事中的纯爱少女们怎么就成为要面包不要爱情的经济主体了?本期节目,美国布朗大学比较文学博士、英国文学研究者肖一之将从《鲁滨逊漂流记》《傲慢与偏见》《名利场》等经典作品入手,解析“经济学人”如何登上历史舞台,如何演变,又如何反映出我们所处时代的困境。 当理性计算逐渐成为时代主流,小说家们发现自己越来越难以构想替代性的叙事。或许,重温这些故事,也是在提醒我们思考一个难以回避的问题:在一个拜金的世界里,除了成为经济学人,我们还有别的活法吗? 【本期主播】 肖一之 译者、文学研究者,上海外国语大学英语学院讲师,美国布朗大学比较文学博士。 主要研究19世纪与20世纪早期英国文学、比较文学、全球思想史、文学与科学。译有英国作家福特·马多克斯·福特著“队列之末”四部曲后两部、美国作家 E.B.怀特散文集《论希望》、英国作家马丁·艾米斯短篇小说集《爱因斯坦的怪兽》等作品。 【时间轴】 02:00 罗曼史 vs 小说:从浪漫骑士传奇到账单、进货、租房子 08:09 小说是堕落世界的圣歌,被上帝抛弃的世界的史诗 10:00 理性?算计?利己?到底什么是经济学人? 16:00 《鲁滨逊漂流记》:真不好意思承认,被困荒岛后还是想搞钱 22:00 《傲慢与偏见》:闺蜜嫁给了被我拒绝的相亲丑男? 37:50 《名利场》:怎样一毛钱不花,过上一年好日子? 50:00 《米德尔马契》:如果能继承一大笔遗产,谁还想努力呢? 63:00 《我们共同的朋友》:当英国霸道总裁冒充保镖爱上做保洁的我 75:42 19世纪纯爱战士狄更斯的高呼:光有理性是没用的,真爱拯救世界! 78:20 《新寒士街》:不把文化理想当生意,还能活下去吗? 91:00 《霍华德庄园》:站在金钱之岛,双脚才能不被生活的海浪拖走 104:44 来自弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的辩白:为什么要想谈文学反而更应该谈钱? 【节目中提到的人名和作品】 人物 拜伦(Lord Byron):英国浪漫主义诗人、革命家,代表作《唐璜》。 安妮·伊莎贝拉·米尔班克(Anne Isabella Milbanke):英国教育改革家和慈善家,诗人拜伦之妻,人称拜伦夫人。 埃达·洛夫莱斯(Ada Lovelace):英国数学家,作家,诗人拜伦的唯一婚生子女。她是第一位主张计算机不只可以用来算数的人,也发表了第一段分析机用的算法,被公认为世界上第一位程序员。 简·奥斯丁(Jane Austen):英国现实主义小说家,以《傲慢与偏见》《理智与情感》闻名,描绘女性在金钱与爱情之间的理性抉择。 格奥尔格·卢卡奇(György Lukács):匈牙利马克思主义哲学家和文学理论家,代表作《历史与阶级意识》《小说理论》,提出“小说是被上帝抛弃的世界的史诗”。 黑格尔(G.

She could not have known that the Voynich parchment would eventually be submitted to radiocarbon technology and that the samples would be dated, with up to 92 percent probability, to periods ranging between 1308 and 1458. Therefore, she could not have known that Bacon, who lived in the thirteenth century, would be excluded as the author of the manuscript, or at least as its producer or as one of its scribes.Is the Voynich Manuscript a hoax?Before we embark on our own voyage of investigation of the Voynich manuscript, we must consider the alarming possibility that it is a journey to nowhere.

As one of the fantasy genre's most successful authors, R.A. Salvatore enjoys an ever-expanding and tremendously loyal following. His books regularly appear on The New York Times best-seller lists and have sold more than 30,000,000 copies. Salvatore's most recent original hardcover, The Two Swords, Book III of The Hunter's Blade Trilogy (October 2004) debuted at # 1 on The Wall Street Journal best-seller list and at # 4 on The New York Times best-seller list. His books have been translated into numerous foreign languages including German, Italian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Turkish, Croatian, Bulgarian, Yiddish, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Czech, and French. Salvatore's first published novel, The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988, became the first volume of the acclaimed Icewind Dale Trilogy and introduced an enormously popular character, the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden. Since that time, Salvatore has published numerous novels for each of his signature multi-volume series including The Dark Elf Trilogy, Paths of Darkness, The Hunter's Blades Trilogy, and The Cleric Quintet. His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Fitchburg State College in 1981, then returned for the degree he always cherished, the Bachelor of Arts in English. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic. Salvatore held many jobs during those first years as a writer, finally settling in (much to our delight) to write full time in 1990. The R.A. Salvatore Collection has been established at his alma mater, Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, containing the writer's letters, manuscripts, and other professional papers. He is in good company, as The Salvatore Collection is situated alongside The Robert Cormier Library, which celebrates the writing career of the co-alum and esteemed author of young adult books. Salvatore is an active member of his community and is on the board of trustees at the local library in Leominster, Massachusetts. He has participated in several American Library Association regional conferences, giving talks on themes including "Adventure fantasy" and "Why young adults read fantasy." Salvatore himself enjoys a broad range of literary writers including James Joyce, Mark Twain, Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dante, and Sartre. He counts among his favorite genre literary influences Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, Fritz Leiber, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien. Born in 1959, Salvatore is a native of Massachusetts and resides there with his wife Diane, and their three children, Bryan, Geno, and Caitlin. The family pets include three Japanese Chins, Oliver, Artemis and Ivan, and four cats including Guenhwyvar. When he isn't writing, Salvatore chases after his three Japanese Chins, takes long walks, hits the gym, and coaches/plays on a fun-league softball team that includes most of his family. His gaming group still meets on Sundays to play.

100 Jahre Schweizer Hörspiel. Das Hörspiel zeigt, wie Weltliteratur zum Klingen gebracht, zum Leben erweckt werden kann jenseits von einem einfachen Hörbuch. Das Hörspiel erzählt das sechste Kapitel von James Joyces «Ulysses» neu: Und zeigt den Menschen angesichts der Absurdität des Todes. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will:  Samstag, 27.09.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Der Anzeigenmakler Leopold Bloom besteigt in Dublin mit anderen Trauergästen eine Kutsche und fährt zum Friedhof. Ein Bekannter ist gestorben, und es gilt, ihm die letzte Ehre zu erweisen. Während das Gespräch der Gäste in eine makabere Mischung aus Trauer und schwarzem Humor abgleitet, versinkt Bloom in seine Gedanken. Er hängt den leid- und lustvollen Seiten seines eigenen Lebens nach. Das Hörspiel handelt von der Hilflosigkeit und Verlorenheit des Menschen angesichts der Absurdität des Todes und entspricht dem Abstieg des homerischen Odysseus in den Hades. Der Roman «Ulysses» von James Joyce wird als Wegbereiter der Moderne angesehen. Der Dubliner Dichter beschreibt die Odyssee eines Tages im Leben Blooms, des Juden, der mit einer Nichtjüdin verheiratet ist und dessen einziger Sohn ganz jung gestorben ist. Das Werk ist in achtzehn Kapitel eingeteilt, die in symbolhafter Beziehung zu bestimmten Gesängen der homerischen Odyssee stehen. Joyce hat den besungenen Tag auf den 16. Juni 1904 festgelegt und damit das Datum seines ersten Spazierganges mit seiner späteren Frau Nora Barnacle verewigt. ____________________ Mit: Wolfgang Reichmann (Leopold Bloom), Wolfgang Schwarz (Martin Cunningham), Peter Ehrlich (Tom Power), Ingold Wildenauer (Simon Dädalus) ____________________ Tontechnik: Aldo Gardini – Regie: Matthias von Spallart ____________________ Produktion: SRF 1977 ____________________ Dauer: 47'

Susan Brown is a professional editor, writing coach, and book doctor. She's had forty years of teaching college creative writing and book editing, and has guided dozens of books into print as an editor, and as a writing coach.My friend Jeff Moran in Woodstock had previously mentioned Susan to me, and so I was intrigued when I heard that Susan was going to run a five week online writing workshop called “The Secrets of the Great Writers”.Jeff had told me that Susan was a James Joyce scholar.  That was a little bit intimidating, but also immediately credentializing. I've appreciated a number of books on writing, by Stephen King, George Saunders, Anne Lamotte, Mary Karr and others, and thought it might also be instructive, and interesting, to be part of a writing workshop, so I signed up for Susan's class. I learned a lot in the workshop, we had a terrific group of very talented fiction and memoir writers in the class, and it was a lot of fun. ​One of the dozens of sources Susan identified for us during the workshop was a book called Hit Lit - Cracking the Code of the 20th Century's Biggest Bestsellers, by James Hall. In his book, Hall identifies the features common to the biggest bestsellers of all time. Susan and I discussed her Secrets of the Great Writers Workshop. Susan actually conducted an abbreviated Workshop on the Air. We discussed Hall's Hit Lit and we discussed Ulysses. We discussed storytelling. I loved this discussion.The books examined in Hit-Lit, many of which are referred to in our discussion.Gone with the Wind*Peyton PlaceTo Kill a Mockingbird*Valley of the DollsThe Godfather*The ExorcistJawsThe Dead ZoneThe Hunt for Red October*The Firm*The Bridges of Madison County; andThe Da Vinci Code**I've read these.Some of the other books referred to by Susan:Moby DickThe Scarlet Letter The LighthouseSound and the FuryThe Lincoln LawyerBlack Cherry BluesGone Baby GonePride and PrejudiceLet the Great World Spin Madame BovaryThe Glass CastleAngela's AshesWildCatcher in the RyeLolitaUlyssesI encouraged Susan to run a class guiding us through Ulysses!

‘From Waterloo Station to the small country town of Ramsgard in Dorset is a journey of not more than three or four hours, but having by good luck found a compartment to himself, Wolf Solent was able to indulge in such an orgy of concentrated thought, that these three or four hours lengthened themselves out into something beyond all human measurement.' We rejoin Sally this week in conversation with the producer, James Bowen, discussing how to navigate, and ultimately teach, ‘difficult' literature, drawing on John Cooper Powys' Wolf Solent (1929) and James Joyce's Ulysses (1922). Listen for a discussion of ambiguity, pedagogy, and the role of the author in narrative resolution. More information on Powys can be found here. Sally's fable, Worm in the Bud, will be published in November of this year by The New Menard Press. It will be available from all good booksellers.

️ La Teoría de la Mente – Episodio: “Fracasa mejor” Hoy exploramos una de esas frases que pueden cambiar nuestra perspectiva sobre el fracaso, la resiliencia y el sentido profundo de seguir intentándolo: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." Una frase de Samuel Beckett que, lejos de ser un simple eslogan motivacional, nos habla desde un lugar más oscuro, honesto y humano sobre lo que significa sentirse insuficiente y seguir adelante a pesar de todo. En este episodio reflexionamos sobre la biografía del propio Beckett —discípulo de James Joyce, ignorado durante años, resistente durante la guerra y creador de obras inmortales como Esperando a Godot— y cómo su historia personal impregna ese lema tan malinterpretado por el mundo del emprendimiento. ¿Realmente "fracasar mejor" es un peldaño hacia el éxito, como nos vende Silicon Valley? ¿O es más bien una invitación a convivir con nuestras grietas, a no ocultar los pedazos rotos, sino a integrarlos como parte de lo que somos? Descubriremos el origen etimológico de la palabra fracaso, viajaremos al universo del kintsugi japonés (el arte de reparar con oro) y reflexionaremos sobre cómo nuestras propias roturas pueden transformarse en una forma de sabiduría emocional y conexión con los demás. Este episodio no busca que salgas invencible, sino que te sientas comprendido. Que puedas mirar tu jarrón hecho pedazos y elegir con qué tipo de oro vas a reconstruirlo. Dale al play y acompáñanos en esta reflexión profunda sobre la belleza que hay en fracasar, pero con sentido.

 Mistakes are the portals of discovery.Your mind will give back to you exactly what you put into it.Fall if you will, but rise you must.Absence, the highest form of presence.Shut your eyes and see.People trample over flowers, yet only to embrace a cactus.Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies.Beware the horns of a bull, the heels of the horse, and the smile of an Englishman.Life is too short to read a bad book.To learn one must be humble. But life is the great teacher.Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.To live, to err, to fall, to triumph, to recreate life out of life.My Video:  Quotes James Joyce  https://youtu.be/7RPFApOQDwUMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Quotes-James-Joyce.mp3

All Future Plunges to the Past: James Joyce in Russian Literature (Cornell UP, 2021) explores how Russian writers from the mid-1920s on have read and responded to Joyce's work. Through contextually rich close readings, José Vergara uncovers the many roles Joyce has occupied in Russia over the last century, demonstrating how the writers Yury Olesha, Vladimir Nabokov, Andrei Bitov, Sasha Sokolov, and Mikhail Shishkin draw from Joyce's texts, particularly Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, to address the volatile questions of lineages in their respective Soviet, émigré, and post-Soviet contexts. Interviews with contemporary Russian writers, critics, and readers of Joyce extend the conversation to the present day, showing how the debates regarding the Irish writer's place in the Russian pantheon are no less settled one hundred years after Ulysses. The creative reworkings, or translations, of Joycean themes, ideas, characters, plots, and styles made by the five writers Vergara examines speak to shifting cultural norms, understandings of intertextuality, and the polarity between Russia and the West. Vergara illuminates how Russian writers have used Joyce's ideas as a critical lens to shape, prod, and constantly redefine their own place in literary history. All Future Plunges to the Past offers one overarching approach to the general narrative of Joyce's reception in Russian literature. While each of the writers examined responded to Joyce in an individual manner, the sum of their methods reveals common concerns. This subject raises the issue of cultural values and, more importantly, how they changed throughout the twentieth century in the Soviet Union, Russian emigration, and the post-Soviet Russian environment.

In this captivating episode of Mythlok, we delve into the myth of Aeolus, the legendary Keeper of the Winds in Greek mythology. As the master of one of nature's most unpredictable forces, Aeolus held a unique position among gods and mortals alike. Entrusted by Zeus to control the chaotic gusts that stirred seas and skies, Aeolus became both a guardian of calm and a harbinger of storms. His story, most famously told in The Odyssey, shows just how pivotal his role was in guiding — or misguiding — the fate of mortals.Host Nitten Nair takes you through Aeolus's complex family lineage, his symbolic connection to nature, and his reimagining in modern literature, science, and media. From being labeled a “windbag” in James Joyce's Ulysses to lending his name to scientific terms like “Aeolian processes,” Aeolus continues to swirl through our collective consciousness. His children founded dynasties, his winds shaped destinies, and his mythology blurred the line between human wisdom and divine power.Whether as a mortal king, divine figure, or metaphor for humanity's struggle with the elements, Aeolus remains a powerful symbol of control, chaos, and the eternal dance between order and nature. Join us as we uncover the legend, the legacy, and the lingering questions surrounding this ancient master of the winds. This episode will leave you with a fresh perspective on how mythology still influences the world around us — from sand dunes to starlight.

Phelim here: it's just me on the Ann and Phelim Scoop podcast today as Ann travels.  I know I miss her, too.While LA burns for immigrants, sorry "mostly peacefully burning", Northern Ireland has become the latest part of Europe to burn for the completely opposite reason. The world is tired of open borders.And we interview journalist Michael Murphy, who reveals how Europe is now at long last sharing American skepticism regarding immigration. And how  in reality Donald Trump is more European than most European politicians. Michael made this brilliant documentary, “Ireland is Full,” where he gives  Irish people a chance to speak for themselves about mass immigration that is flooding their country.Here's the link to the documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llAnoLFUgHM Also Happy BloomsDay! Also  on the podcast Phelim talks about how James Joyce was years ahead of his time when he wrote Ulysses, and how it connects to modern day anti-Semitism in Ireland.Finally we learn that in at least one jurisdiction an unborn baby is legally recognised as a fully formed human and is entitled to all the protections adults receive. We reveal how a man is now facing a capital murder charge after killing his unborn baby.Amid the depressing news from Israel we have a joyful announcement from Shani who was one of the main characters in our OCTOBER 7 play. And please leave a comment wherever you get our content and you never know, we may read it on the show.And remember guys we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit so please go to our website(linked below), and give what you can so that we can keep bringing our show, and special projects to you.
