Gnadenhutten, Ohio CountryMarch 8, 1782The name meant "Huts of Grace." It was a Moravian missionary village where Lenape and Mohican converts had embraced Christianity, European dress, and pacifism. They refused to take sides in the American Revolution. Both sides hated them for it. When 160 Pennsylvania militiamen rode into the Tuscarawas Valley that March, they found unarmed families harvesting corn. The militia smiled, shook hands, and promised safe passage to Fort Pitt. Then they bound their hosts, separated men from women and children, and held a vote. The result was ninety-six dead — bludgeoned with a cooper's mallet, scalped, and burned with their village. Two boys survived. Congress opened an investigation, then quietly killed it. Tecumseh remembered. The Lenape remembered. The mound where the dead are buried is still maintained. The descendants still come every March.

Ahead of her new book What's So Great About the Great Books? coming out in April, Naomi Kanakia and I talked about literature from Herodotus to Tony Tulathimutte. We touched on Chaucer, Anglo-Saxon poetry, Scott Alexander, Shakespeare, William James, Helen deWitt, Marx and Engels, Walter Scott, Les Miserables, Jhootha Sach, the Mahabharata, and more. Naomi also talked about some of her working habits and the history and future of the Great Books movement. Naomi, of course, writes Woman of Letters here on Substack.TranscriptHenry Oliver: Today, I am talking with Naomi Kanakia. Naomi is a novelist, a literary critic, and most importantly she writes a Substack called Woman of Letters, and she has a new book coming out, What's So Great About the Great Books? Naomi, welcome.Naomi Kanakia: Thanks for having me on.Oliver: How is the internet changing the way that literature gets discussed and criticized, and what is that going to mean for the future of the Great Books?Kanakia: How is the internet changing it? I can really speak to only how it has changed it for me. I started off as a writer of young adult novels and science fiction, and there's these very active online fan cultures for those two things.I was reading the Great Books all through that time. I started in 2010 through today. In the 2010s, it really felt like there was not a lot of online discussion of classic literature. Maybe that was just me and I wasn't finding it, but it didn't necessarily feel like there was that community.I think because there are so many strong, public-facing institutions that discuss classic literature, like the NYRB, London Review of Books, a lot of journals, and universities, too. But now on Substack, there are a number of blogs—yours, mine, a number of other ones—that are devoted to classic literature. All of those have these commenters, a community of commenters. I also follow bloggers who have relatively small followings who are reading Tolstoy, reading Middlemarch, reading even much more esoteric things.I know that for me, becoming involved in this online culture has given me much more of an awareness that there are many people who are reading the classics on their own. I think that was always true, but now it does feel like it's more of a community.Oliver: We are recording this the day after the Washington Post book section has been removed. You don't see some sort of relationship between the way these literary institutions are changing online and the way the Great Books are going to be conceived of in the future? Because the Great Books came out of a an old-fashioned, saving-the-institutions kind of radical approach to university education. We're now moving into a world where all those old things seem to be going.Kanakia: Yes. I agree. The Great Books began in the University of Chicago and Columbia University. If you look into the history of the movement, it really was about university education and the idea that you would have a common core and all undergraduates would read these books. The idea that the Great Books were for the ordinary person was really an afterthought, at least for Mortimer Adler and those original Great Books guys. Now, the Great Books in the university have had a resurgence that we can discuss, but I do think there's a lot more life and vitality in the kind of public-facing humanities than there has been.I talked to Irina Dumitrescu, who writes for TLS (The Times Literary Supplement), LRB (The London Review of Books), a lot of these places, and she also said the same thing—that a lot of these journals are going into podcasts, and they're noticing a huge interest in the humanities and in the classics even at the same time as big institutions are really scaling back on those things. Humanities majors are dropping, classics majors are getting cut, book coverage at major periodicals is going down. It does seem like there are signals that are conflicting. I don't really know totally what to make of it. I do think there is some relation between those two things.Ted Gioia on Substack is always talking about how culture is stagnant, basically, and one of the symptoms of that is that “back list” really outsells “front list” for books. Even in 2010, 50 percent of the books that were sold were front-list titles, books that had been released in the last 18 months. Now it's something like only 35 percent of books or something like that are front-list titles. These could be completely wrong, but there's been a trend.I think the decrease in interest in front-list books is really what drives the loss of these book-review pages because they mostly review front-list books. So, I think that does imply that there's a lot of interest in old books. That's what our stagnant culture means.Oliver: Why do you think your own blog is popular with the rationalists?Kanakia: I don't know for certain. There was a story I wrote that was a joke. There are all these pop nonfiction books that aim to prove something that seems counterintuitive, so I wrote a parody of one of those where I aim to prove that reading is bad for you. This book has many scientific studies that show the more you read, the worse it is because it makes you very rigid.Scott Alexander, who is the archrationalist, really liked that, and he added me to his blog roll. Because of that, I got a thousand rationalist subscribers. I have found that rationalists at least somewhat interested in the classics. I think they are definitely interested in enduring sources of value. I've observed a fair amount of interest.Oliver: How much of a lay reader are you really? Because you read scholarship and critics and you can just quote John Gilroy in the middle of a piece or something.Kanakia: Yeah. That is a good question. I have definitely gotten more interested in secondary literature. In my book, I really talk about being a lay reader and personally having a nonacademic approach to literature. I do think that, over 15 years of being a lay reader, I have developed a lot of knowledge.I've also learned the kind of secondary literature that is really important. I think having historical context adds a lot and is invaluable. Right now I'm rereading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. When I first read it in 2010, I hardly knew anything about French history. I was even talking online with someone about how most people who read Les Miserables think it's set in the French Revolution. That's basically because Americans don't really know anything about French history.Everything makes just a lot more sense the more you know about the time because it was written for people in it. For people in 1860s France, who knew everything about their own recent history, that really adds a lot to it. I still don't tend to go that much into interpretive literature, literature that tries to do readings of the stories or tell me the meaning of the stories. I feel like I haven't really gotten that much out of that.Oliver: How long have you been learning Anglo-Saxon?Kanakia: I went through a big Anglo-Saxon phase. That was in 2010. It started because I started reading The Canterbury Tales in Middle English. There is a great app online called General Prologue created by one of your countrymen, Terry Richardson [NB it is Terry Jones], who loved Middle English. In this app, he recites the Middle English of the General Prologue. I started listening to this app, and I thought, I just really love the rhythms and the sounds of Middle English. And it's quite easy to learn. So then, I got really into that.And then I thought, but what about Anglo-Saxon? I'm very bad at languages. I studied Latin for seven years in middle school and high school. I never really got very far, but I thought, Anglo-Saxon has to be the easiest foreign language you can learn, right? So, I got into it.I cannot sight read Anglo-Saxon, but I really got into Anglo-Saxon poetry. I really liked the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Most people probably would not like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle because it's very repetitive, but that makes it great if you're a language learner because every entry is in this very repetitive structure. I just felt such a connection. I get in trouble when I say this kind of stuff, because I'm never quiet sure if it's 100 percent true. But it's certainly one of the oldest vernacular literatures in Europe. It's just so much older than most of the other medieval literature I've read. And it just was such a window into a different part of history I never knew about.Oliver: And you particularly like “The Dream of the Rood”?Kanakia: Yeah, “The Dream of the Rood” is my favorite Anglo-Saxon poem. “The Dream of the Rood” is a poem that is told from the point of view of Christ's cross. A man is having a dream. In this dream he encounters Christ's cross, and Christ's cross starts reciting to him basically the story of the crucifixion. At the end, the cross is buried. I don't know, it was just so haunting and powerful. Yeah, it was one of my favorites.Oliver: Why do you think Byron is a better poet than Alexander Pope?Kanakia: This is an argument I cannot get into. I think this is coming up because T. S. Eliot felt that Alexander Pope was a great poet because he really exemplified the spirit of the age. I don't know. I've tried to read Pope. It just doesn't do it for me. Whereas with Byron, I read Don Juan and found it entertaining. I enjoyed it. Then, his lyric poetry is just more entertaining to read. With Alexander Pope, I'm learning a lot about what kind of poetry people wrote in the 18th century, but the joy is not there.Oliver: Okay. Can we do a quick fire round where I say the name of a book and you just say what you think of it, whatever you think of it?Kanakia: Sure.Oliver: Okay. The Odyssey.Kanakia: The Odyssey. Oh, I love The Odyssey. It has a very strange structure, where it starts with Telemachus and then there's this flashback in the middle of it. It is much more readable than The Iliad; I'll say that.Oliver: Herodotus.Kanakia: Herodotus is wild. Going into Herodotus, I really thought it was about the Persian war, which it is, but it's mostly a general overview of everything that Herodotus knew, about anything. It's been a long time since I read it. I really appreciate the voice of Herodotus, how human it is, and the accumulation of facts. It was great.Oliver: I love the first half actually. The bit about the Persian war I'm less interested in, but the first half I think is fantastic. I particularly love the Egypt book.Kanakia: Oh yeah, the Egypt book is really good.Oliver: All those like giant beetles that are made of fire or whatever; I can't remember the details, but it's completely…Kanakia: The Greeks are also so fascinated by Egypt. They go down there like what is going on out there? Then, most of what we know about Egypt comes from this Hellenistic period, when the Greeks went to Egypt. Our Egyptian kings list comes from the Hellenistic period where some scholar decided to sort out what everybody was up to and put it all into order. That's why we have such an orderly story about Egypt. That's the story that the Greeks tried to tell themselves.Oliver: Marcus Aurelius.Kanakia: Marcus Aurelius. When I first read The Meditations, which I loved, obviously, I thought, “being the Roman emperor cannot be this hard.” It really was a black pill moment because I thought, “if the emperor of Rome is so unhappy, maybe human power really doesn't do it.”Knowing more about Marcus Aurelius, he did have quite a difficult life. He was at war for most of his—just stuck in the region in Germany for ages. He had various troubles, but yeah, it really was very stoic. It was, oh, I just have to do my duty. Very “heavy is the head that wears the crown” kind of stuff. I thought, “okay, I guess being Roman emperor is not so great.”Oliver: Omar Khayyam.Kanakia: Omar Khayyam. Okay, I've only read The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Edward Fitzgerald, which I loved, but I cannot formulate a strong opinion right now.Oliver: As You Like It.Kanakia: No opinions.Oliver: Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson.Kanakia: Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. I do have an opinion about this, which is that they should make a redacted version of Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson. I normally am not a big believer in abridgements because I feel like whatever is there is there. But, Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson, first of all, has a long portion before Boswell even meets Johnson. That portion drags; it's not that great. Then it has all these like letters that Johnson wrote, which also are not that great. What's really good is when Boswell just reports everything Johnson ever said, which is about half the book. You get a sense of Johnson's conversation and his personality, and that is very gripping. I've definitely thought that with a different presentation, this could still be popular. People would still read this.Oliver: The Communist Manifesto.Kanakia: The Communist Manifesto. It's very stirring. I love The Communist Manifesto. It has very haunting, powerful lines. I won't try to quote from it because I'll misquote them.Oliver: But it is remarkably well written.Kanakia: Oh yeah, it is a great work of literature.Oliver: Yeah.Kanakia: I read Capital [Das Kapital], which is not a great work of literature, and I would venture to say that it is not necessarily worth reading. It really feels like Marx's reputation is built on other political writings like The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte and works like that, which really seem to have a lot more meat on the bone than Capital.Oliver: Pragmatism by William James.Kanakia: Pragmatism. I mean, I've mentioned that in my book. I love William James in general. I think William James was writing in this 19th-century environment where it seemed like some form of skepticism was the only rational solution. You couldn't have any source of value, and he really tried to cut through that with Pragmatism and was like, let's just believe the things that are good to believe. It is definitely at least useful to think, although someone else can always argue with you about what is useful to believe. But, as a personal guide for belief, I think it is still useful.Oliver: Major Barbara by George Bernard Shaw.Kanakia: No strong opinions. It was a long time ago that I read Major Barbara.Oliver: Tell me what you like about James Fenimore Cooper.Kanakia: James Fenimore Cooper. Oh, this is great. I have basically a list of Great Books that I want to read, but four or five years ago, I thought, “what's in all the other books that I know the names of but that are not reputed, are not the kind of books you still read?”That was when I read Walter Scott, who I really love. And I just started reading all kinds of books that were kind of well known but have kind of fallen into literary disfavor. In almost every case, I felt like I got a lot out of these books. So, nowadays when I approach any realm of literature, I always look for those books.In 19th-century American literature, the biggest no-longer-read book is The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, which was America's first bestseller. He was the first American novelist that had a high reputation in Europe. The Last of the Mohicans is kind of a historical romance, à la Walter Scott, but much more tightly written and much more tightly plotted.Cooper has written five novels, the Leatherstocking Tales, that are all centered around this very virtuous, rough-hewn frontiersman, Natty Bumppo. He has his best friend, Chingachgook, who is the last of the Mohicans. He's the last of his tribe. And the two of these guys are basically very sad and stoic. Chingachgook is distanced from his tribe. Chingachgook has a tribe of Native Americans that he hates—I want to say it's the Huron. He's always like, “they're the bad ones,” and he's always fighting them. Then, Natty Bumppo doesn't really love settled civilization. He's not precisely at war with it, but he does not like the settlers. They're kind of stuck in the middle. They have various adventures, and I just thought it was so haunting and powerful.I've been reading a lot of other 19th-century American literature, and virtually none of it treats Native Americans with this kind of respect. There's a lot of diversity in the Native American characters; there's really an attempt to show how their society works and the various ways that leadership and chiefship works among them. There's this very haunting moment in The Last of the Mohicans, where this aged chief, Tamenund, comes out and starts speaking. This is a chief who, in American mythology, was famous for being a friend to the white people. But, James Fenimore Cooper writing in the 1820s has Tamenund come out at 80 years old and say, “we have to fight; we have to fight the white people. That's our only option.” It was just such a powerful moment and such a powerful book.I was really, really enthused. I read all of these Leatherstocking Tales. It was also a very strange experience to read these books that are generally supposed to be very turgid and boring, and then I read them and was like, “I understand. I'm so transported.” I understand exactly why readers in the 1820s loved this.Oliver: Which Walter Scott books do you like?Kanakia: I love all the Walter Scott books I've read, but the one I liked best was Kenilworth. Have you ever read Kenilworth?Oliver: I don't know that one.Kanakia: Yeah, it's about Elizabeth I, who had a romantic relationship with one of her courtiers.Oliver: The Earl of Essex?Kanakia: Yeah. She really thought they were going to get married, but then it turned out he was secretly married. Basically, I guess the implication is that he killed his wife in order to marry Queen Elizabeth I. It's a novel all about him and that situation, and it just felt very tightly plotted. I really enjoyed it.Oliver: What did you think of Rejection?Kanakia: Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte? Initially when I read this book, I enjoyed it, but I was like, “life cannot possibly be this sad.” It's five or six stories about these people who just have nothing going on. Their lives are so miserable, they can't find anyone to sleep with, and they're just doomed to be alone forever. I was like, “life can't be this bad.” But now thinking back over it, it is one of the most memorable books I've read in the last year. It really sticks with you. I feel like my opinion of this book has gone up a lot in retrospect.Oliver: How antisemitic is the House of Mirth?Kanakia: That is a hotly debated question, which I mentioned in my book. I think there has been a good case made that Edith Wharton, the author of House of Mirth, who was from an old New York family, was herself fairly antisemitic and did not personally like Jewish people. What she portrays in this book is that this old New York society also was highly suspicious of Jewish people and was organized to keep Jewish people out.In this book there is a rich Jewish man, Simon Rosedale, and there's a poor woman, Lily Bart. Lily Bart's main thing is whether she's going to marry the poor guy, Lawrence Selden, or the rich guy, Percy Gryce. She can't choose. She doesn't want to be poor, but she also is always bored by the rich guys. Meanwhile, through the whole book, there's Simon Rosedale, who's always like, “you should marry me.” He's the rich Jewish guy. He's like, “you should marry me. I will give you lots of money. You can do whatever you want.”Everybody else kind of just sees her as a woman and as a wife; he really sees her as an ally in his social climbing. That's his main motivation. The book is relatively clear that he has a kind of respect for her that nobody else does. Then, over the course of the book, she also gains a lot more respect for him. Basically, late in the book, she decides to marry him, but she has fallen a lot in the world. He's like, “that particular deal is not available anymore,” but he does offer her another deal that—although she finds it not to her taste—is still pretty good.He basically is like, “I'll give you some money, you'll figure out how to rehabilitate your reputation, and later down the line, we can figure something out.” So, I think with a great author like Edith Wharton, there's power in these portrayals. I felt it hard to come away from it feeling like the book is like a really antisemitic book.Oliver: Now, you note that the Great Books movement started out as something quite socially aspirational. Do you think it's still like that?Kanakia: I do think so. Yeah. For me, that's 100 percent what it was because I majored in econ. I always felt kind of inadequate as a writer against people who had majored in English. Then I started off as a science fiction writer, young adult writer, and I was like, “I'm going to read all these Great Books and then I'll have read the books that everybody else has read.” In my mind, that's also what it was—that there was some upper crust or literary society that was reading all these Great Books.That's really what did it. I do think there's still an element of aspiration to it because it's a club that you can join, that anyone can join. It's very straightforward to be a Great Books reader, and so I think there's still something there. I think because the Great Books movement has such a democratic quality to it, it actually doesn't get you to the top socially, which has always been the true, always been the case. But, that's okay. As long as you end up higher than where you started, that's fine.Oliver: What makes a book great?Kanakia: I talk about it this in the book, and I go through many different authors' conceptions of what makes a book great or what constitutes a classic. I don't know that anyone has come up with a really satisfying answer. The Horatian formulation from Horace—that a book is great or an author is great if it has lasted for a hundred years—is the one that seems to be the most accurate. Like, any book that's still being read a hundred years after it was written has a greatness.I do think that T. S. Eliott's formulation—that a civilization at its height produces certain literature and that literature partakes of the greatness of the civilization and summarizes the greatness of the civilization—does seem to have some kind of truth to it.But it's hard, right? Because the greatest French novel is In Search of Lost Time, but I don't know that anyone would say that the France in the 1920s was at its height. It's not a prescriptive thing, but it does seem like the way we read many of these Great Books, like Moby Dick, it feels like you're like communing with the entire society that produced it. So, maybe there's something there.Oliver: Now, you've used a list from Clifton Fadiman.Kanakia: Yes.Oliver: Rather than from Mortimer Adler or Harold Bloom or several others. Why this list?Kanakia: Well, the best reason is that it's actually the list I've just been using for the last 15 years. I went to a science fiction convention in 2009, Readercon, and at this science fiction convention was Michael Dirda, who was a Washington Post book critic. He had recently come out with his book, Classics for Pleasure, which I also bought and liked. But he said that the list he had always used was this Clifton Fadiman book. And so when I decided to start reading the Great Books, I went and got that book. I have perused many other lists over time, but that was always the list that seemed best to me.It seemed to have like the best mix. There's considerable variation amongst these lists, but there's also a lot of overlap. So any of these lists is going to have Dickens on it, and Tolstoy, and stuff like that. So really, you're just thinking about, “aside from Dickens and Tolstoy and George Eliot and Walt Whitman and all these people, who are the other 50 authors that you're going be reading?”The Mortimer Adler list is very heavy on philosophy. It has Plotinus on it. It has all these scientific works. I don't know, it didn't speak to me as much. Whereas, this Clifton Fadiman and John Major list has all these Eastern works on it. It has The Tale of Genji, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Story of the Stone, and that just spoke to me a little bit more.Oliver: What modern books will be on a future Great Books list, whether it's from someone alive or someone since the war.Kanakia: Have you ever heard of Robert Caro?Oliver: Sure.Kanakia: Yeah. I think his Lyndon Johnson books are great books. They have changed the field of biography. They're so complete, they seem to summarize an entire era, epoch. They're highly rated, but I feel like they're underrated as literature.What else? I was actually a little bit surprised in this Clifton Fadiman-John Major book, which came out in 1999, that there are not more African Americans in their list. Like, Invisible Man definitely seemed like a huge missed work. You know, it's hard. You would definitely want a book that has undergone enough critical evaluation that people are pretty certain that it is great. A lot of things that are more recent have not undergone that evaluation yet, but Invisible Man has, as have some works by Martin Luther King.Oliver: What about The Autobiography of Malcolm X?Kanakia: I would have to reread. I feel like it hasn't been evaluated much as a literary document.Oliver: Helen DeWitt?Kanakia: It's hard to say. It's so idiosyncratic, The Last Samurai, but it is certainly one of the best novels of the last 25 years.Oliver: Yeah.Kanakia: It is hard to say, because there's nothing else quite like it. But I would love if The Last Samurai was on a list like this; that would be amazing.Oliver: If someone wants to try the Great Books, but they think that those sort of classic 19th-century novels are too difficult—because they're long and the sentences are weird or whatever—what else should they do? Where else should they start?Kanakia: Well, it depends on what they're into, or it depends on their personality type. I think like there are people who like very, very difficult literature. There are people who are very into James Joyce and Proust. I think for some people the cost-benefit is better. If they're going to be pouring over some book for a long time, they would prefer if it was overtly difficult.If they're not like that, then I would say, there are many Great Books that are more accessible. Hemingway is a good one and Grapes of Wrath is wonderful. The 19th-century American books tend to be written in a very different register than the English books. If you read Moby Dick, it feels like it's written in a completely different language than Charles Dickens, even though they're writing essentially at the same time.Oliver: Is there too much Freud on the list that you've used?Kanakia: Maybe. I know that Interpretation of Dreams is on that list, which I've tried to read and have decided life is too short. I didn't really buy it, but I have read a fair amount of Freud. My impression of Freud was always that I would read Freud and somehow it would just seem completely fanciful or far out, like wouldn't ring true. But then when I started reading Freud, it was more the opposite. I was like, oh yeah, this seems very, very true.Like this battle between like the id and the ego and the super ego, and this feeling that like the psyche is at war with itself. Human beings really desire to be singular and exceptional, but then you're constantly under assault by the reality principle, which is that you're insignificant. That all seemed completely true. But then he tries to cure this somehow, which does not seem a curable problem. And he also situates the problem in some early sexual development, which also did not necessarily ring true. But no, I wouldn't say there's too much. Freud is a lot of fun. People should read Freud.Oliver: Which of the Great Books have you really not liked?Kanakia: I do get asked this quite a bit. I would say the Great Book that I really felt like—at least in translation—was not that rewarding in an unabridged version was Don Quixote. Because at least half the length of Don Quixote is these like interpolated novellas that are really long and tedious. I felt Don Quixote was a big slog. But maybe someday I'll go back and reread it and love it. Who knows?Oliver: Now you wrote that the question of biography is totally divorced from the question of what art is and how it operates. What do you think of George Orwell's supposition that if Shakespeare came back tomorrow, and we found out he used to rape children that we should—we would not say, you know, it's fine to carry on to doing that because he might write another King Lear.Kanakia: Well, if we discovered that Shakespeare was raping children, he should go to prison for that. No. It's totally divorced in both senses. You don't get any credit in the court of law because you are the writer of King Lear. If I murdered someone and then I was hauled in front of a judge and they were like, oh, Naomi's a genius, I wouldn't get off for murder. Nor should I get off for murder.So in terms of like whether we would punish Shakespeare for his crime of raping children, I don't think King Lear should count at all, but it's never used that way. It's never should someone go to prison or not for their crimes, because they're a genius. It's always used the other way, which is should we read King Lear knowing that the author raped children, but I also feel like that is immaterial. If you read King Lear, you're not enabling someone to rape children.Oliver: There's an almost endless amount of discussion these days about the Great Books and education and the value of the humanities, and what's the future of it all. What is your short opinion on that?Kanakia: My short opinion is that the Great Books at least are going to be fine. The Great Books will continue to be read, and they would even survive the university. All these books predate the university and they will survive the university. I feel like the university has stewarded literature in its own way for a while now and has made certain choices in that stewardship. I think if that stewardship was given up to more voluntary associations that had less financial support, then I think the choices would probably be very different. But I still think the greatest works would survive.Oliver: Now this is a quote from the book: “I am glad that reactionaries love the Great Books. They've invited a Trojan horse into their own camp.” Tell us what you mean by that.Kanakia: Let's say you believed in Christian theocracy, that you thought America should be organized on explicitly Christian principles. And because you believe in Christian theocracy, you organize a school that teaches the Great Books. Many of these schools that are Christian schools that have Great Books programs will also teach Nietzsche. They definitely put some kind of spin on Nietzsche. But they will teach anti-Christ, and that is a counterpoint to Christian morality and Christian theology. There are many things that you'll read in the Great Books that are corrosive to various kinds of certainties.If someone who I think is bad starts educating themselves in the Great Books, I don't think that the Great Books are going to make them worse from my perspective. So it's good.Oliver: How did reading the Mahabharata change you?Kanakia: Oh yeah, so the Mahabharata is a Hindu epic from, let's say, the first century AD. I'm Indian and most Indians are familiar with the basic outline of the Mahabharata story because it's told in various retellings, and there's a TV serial that my parents would rent from the Indian store growing up and we would watch it tape by tape. So I'm very familiar with it. Like there's never been a time I have not known this story.But I was also familiar with the idea that there is a written version in Sanskrit that's extremely long. It is 10 times as long as the Iliad and the Odyssey combined. This Mahabharata story is not that long. I've read a version of it that's about 800 pages long. So how could something that's 10 times this long be the same? A new unabridged translation came out 10 years ago. So I started reading it, and it basically contains the entire Sanskrit Vedic worldview in it.I had never been exposed to this very coherently laid-out version of what I would call Hindu cosmology and ethics. Hindus don't really get taught those things in a very organized way. The book is basically about dharma, the principle of rightness and how this principle of rightness orders the universe and how it basically results in everybody getting their just deserts in various ways. As I was reading the book, I was like, this seems very true that there is some cosmic rebalancing here, and that everything does turn out more or less the way it should, which is not something that I can defend on a rational level.But just reading the book, it just made me feel like, yes, that is true. There is justice, the universe is organized by justice. It took me about a year to read the whole thing. I started waking up at 5:00 a.m. and reading for an hour each morning, and it just was a really magical, profound experience that brought me a lot closer to my grandmother's religious beliefs.Oliver: Is it ever possible to persuade someone with arguments that they should read literature, or is it just something that they have to have an inclination toward and then follow someone's example? Because I feel like we have so many columns and op-eds and “books are good because of X reason, and it's very important because of Y reason.” And like, who cares? No one cares. If you are persuaded, you take all that very seriously and you argue about what exactly are the precise reasons we should say. And if you're not persuaded, you don't even know this is happening.And what really persuades you is like, oh, Naomi sounds pretty compelling about the Mahabharata. That sounds cool. I'll try that. It's much more of a temperamental, feelingsy kind of thing. Is it possible to argue people into thinking about this differently? Or should we just be doing what we do and setting an example and hoping that people will follow.Kanakia: As to whether it's possible or not, I do not know. But I do think these columns are too ambitious. A thousand-word column and the imagined audience for this column is somebody who doesn't read books at all, who doesn't care about literature at all. And then in a thousand-word column, you're going to persuade them to care about literature. This is no good. It's so unnecessary.Whereas there's a much broader range of people who love to read books, but have never picked up Moby Dick or have never picked up Middlemarch, or who like maybe loved Middlemarch, but never thought maybe I should then go on and read Jane Austen and George Eliot.I think trying to shift people from “I don't read books at all; reading books is not something I do,” to being a Great Books card-carrying lover of literature is a lot. I really aim for a much lower result than that, which is to whatever extent people are interested in literature, they should pursue that interest. And as the rationalists would say, there's a lot of alpha in that; there's a lot to be gained from converting people who are somewhat interested into people who are very interested.Oliver: If there was a more widespread practice of humanism in education and the general culture, would that make America into a more liberal country in any way?Kanakia: What do you mean by humanism?Oliver: You know, the old-fashioned liberal arts approach, the revival of the literary journal culture, the sort of depolitical approach to literature, the way things used to be, as it were.Kanakia: It couldn't hurt. It couldn't hurt is my answer to that question.Oliver: Okay.Kanakia: What you're describing is basically the way I was educated. I went to Catholic school in DC at St. Anselm's Abbey School, in Northeast, DC, grade school. Highly recommend sending your little boys there. No complaints about the school. They talked about humanism all the time and all these civic virtues. I thought it was great. I don't know what people in other schools learn, but I really feel like it was a superior way of teaching.Now, you know, it was Catholic school, so a lot of people who graduated from my school are conservatives and don't really have the beliefs that I have, but that's okay.Oliver: Tell us about your reading habits.Kanakia: I read mostly ebooks. I really love ebooks because you can make the type bigger. I just read all the time. They vary. I don't wake up at 5:00 a.m. to read anymore. Sometimes if I feel like I'm not reading enough—because I write this blog, and the blog doesn't get written unless I'm reading. That's the engine, and so sometimes I set aside a day each week to read. But generally, the reading mostly takes care of itself.What I tend to get is very into a particular thing, and then I'll start reading more and more in that area. Recently, I was reading a lot of New Yorker stories. So I started reading more and more of these storywriters that have been published in the New Yorker and old anthologies of New Yorker stories. And then eventually I am done. I'm tired. It's time to move on.Oliver: But do you read several books at once? Do you make notes? Do you abandon books? How many hours a day do you read?Kanakia: Hours a day: Because my e-reader keeps these stats, I'd say 15 or 20 hours a week of reading. Nowadays because I write for the blog, I often think as I'm reading how I would frame a post about this. So I look for quotes, like what quote I would look at. I take different kinds of notes. I'll make more notes if I'm more confused by what is going on. Especially with nonfiction books, I'll try sometimes to make notes just to iron out what exactly I think is happening or what I think the argument is. But no, not much of a note taker.Oliver: What will you read next?Kanakia: What will I read next? Well, I've been thinking about getting back into Indian literature. Right now I'm reading Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. But there's an Indian novel called Jhootha Sach, which is a partition novel that is originally in Hindi. And it's also a thousand pages long, and is frequently compared to Les Miserables and War and Peace. So I'm thinking about tackling that finally.Oliver: Naomi Kanakia, thank you very much.Kanakia: Thanks for having me. This is a public episode.

This week on the Dirt and Vert Podcast, we're honored to welcome the incredible Ashlie! Her story is proof that hard work, meticulous planning, and a little bit of community magic can lead to extraordinary achievements.Ashlie takes us behind the scenes of her monumental achievement: setting the Pinhoti FKT! We dive into the year-long logistics, the crucial nutrition adjustments, and how she learned to "burn the boats" for total commitment. She shares the raw, honest truth about the challenges faced during the FKT and the sheer relief and celebration at the finish.But what truly fueled her? Ashlie opens up about the "village" that made it possible—the unwavering family support and the experienced pacers who carried her through. From tackling the Mohican 100 Miler to the emotional highs and lows of the Pinhoti, this conversation is a powerful reminder that perseverance pays off, and that the best part of ultra running is the people you share it with.

I do a brief overview on the initial PBS series of TV movies that adapted Tony Hillerman's Navajo mystery books. Produced by the late great Robert Redford, they starred Wes Studi (Last of the Mohicans, Heat) as Lt. Joe Leaphorn and Adam Beach (Windtalkers, Law & Order: SVU) as Officer Chee. Solid production values aside, how did these films change the way PBS ran its original productions? Do these adaptations make both the book and movie crowds happy? See how this community jives that Tuesday! SONGS USED: "Vadavora", "The Gauntlet" and "Delay Rock" by Kevin MacLeod.

In today's episode, I'm working on the very beginnings of a dark synth track to accompany one of the many hunting scenes in The Thirteenth Hour prequel, A Shadow in the Moonlight, about a cursed hunter who has to spend eternity hunting an enchanted deer. While I've had ideas for the soundtrack to this story for years and even filmed a number of segments for some future video every time I'd see a good full moon, I have never gotten around to putting anything down until now, mostly since I could not think of an appropriate theme to knit it all together - until now. (This is probably an outdated idea in the era of library music often used for TV and movies, but I still subscribe to the idea that a soundtrack is best if there is a central hummable melody that has elements that show up from time to time in the other parts of the soundtrack.) Speaking of which, my inspiration for this track comes from one of my favorite soundtracks, Trevor Jones' Last of the Mohicans. The opening scene where Hawkeye, the Daniel Day Lewis character, is chasing a deer through the forest. While it's a simple scene in essence, the interplay between the film and the sweeping score is pure movie magic and, in my opinion, an excellent example of how music totally makes the scene. Thanks for listening!∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 322: Matthew Chuang, ACS Chief of War is a historical drama series from Apple TV+ co-created by and starring Jason Momoa. The show features a primarily Pacific Islander cast speaking Hawaiian, and is the first program to tell the story of the brutal and unprecedented unification of the Hawaiian islands in the late 18th century. Cinematographer Matthew Chuang, ACS shot episodes 1, 2, 5, 8 and 9 of Chief of War. He teamed up with director Justin Chon, his friend and collaborator on the indie film, Blue Bayou, to shoot episodes 1 and 2. Working with Chon, Matthew set the look of the show- a naturalistic, honest and real look, with few effects or stylized camera moves. They drew from films by director Terrence Malik, cinematographer John Toll and movies such as The Last of the Mohicans and Apocalypto. “It was a lot of fun because I had resources for the first time. The scale of the production was exciting,” says Matthew, who had never worked on a television show before, let alone an epic one like Chief of War. “We wanted to showcase Hawaii, the culture, the fighting style and costumes, but in a way that feels grounded and real.” Understanding the history and receiving guidance on cultural sensitivity was also important to the crew, who often engaged with the actors and local community to make sure it felt authentic. The crew shot in Hawaii for eight weeks before shifting to locations in New Zealand. For Matthew, the ninth and final episode, directed by Jason Momoa, proved to be the most difficult. They filmed major battle scenes in the lava fields of Kalapana on Hawaii, while the Mauna Loa volcano erupted for the first time in more than three decades. The lava rocks were sharp, hot and offered no protection from the sun, and the battle as scripted went from daytime into night. Matthew had to carefully plan the shooting schedule around the time of day in the script, with the crew often starting at 3am to get shots going from night into day. It was Momoa's directorial debut, and Matthew found him to be extremely knowledgeable. “Jason is very involved on the visual side,” explains Matthew. “He loves cameras. He loves the craft of shooting. He knows lighting as well, like the direction of the sun, especially with the show where we're shooting a lot of times outdoors, a lot of time on location.” Find Matthew Chuang: https://www.matthewchuang.com/ Instagram: @mattscope See Chief of War on Apple TV+ Sponsored by Hot Rod Cameras: https://hotrodcameras.com/ The Cinematography Podcast website: www.camnoir.com YouTube: @TheCinematographyPodcast Facebook: @cinepod Instagram: @thecinepod Blue Sky: @thecinepod.bsky.social

'They are safe in the forest. Uncas, take the Delawares with you.Follow Magua's trail. Be careful! There will be many Hurons in the forest. Wewill meet you at the Hurons village. Magua will take Cora to the cave in the hill, ' said Hawk-eye. 'We will find her. We will help her.'Come,' said Duncan.Hawk-eye and Duncan soon found Chingachgook and Munro.They quickly told Monro their story.Then the four men went to the Hurons village.They walked up the hill towards the cave.Suddenly they heard shouts and cries.They looked down at the village, all the Delawares were fighting the Hurons in the village,then Magua and some Hurons ran up the hill.They were going to the cave was right after them.Hawk-eye and his friends fought the Hurons.The fight was terrible, but Magua escaped.Then Hawk-eye,Duncan, Monro, the Mohicans and their friends, saw Magua again.He was with another Huron.They were in front of the cave.The two Indians were pulling Cora.'Cora!'shouted Duncan. 'There is Cora!'Uncas ran towards the rocks above the cave.Cora had stopped in front of the cave.Magua took out his knife. He turned to Cora.'Woman!' he shouted 'Will you be the wife of Magua? Or will you die!''Kill me, Magua!' Cora said. 'I will not go with you!'Suddenly there was a cry.Uncas was standing on the rocks above them.Magua looked up. The other Huron turned to Cora.He stabbed her with his knife and killer her.Magua shouted angrily.He lifted his knife and killed the Huron.Then Uncas jumped on Magua.

He stabbed Uncas four times.The young Mohican stood for a moment.Then he fell at Magua's feet - dead.Hawk-eye saw Uncas fall.The scout ran towards Magua.Magua ran up the path. His enemies were below him.Magua climbed up the rocks. Then he turned and looked down.Hawk-eye stopped running. He lifted his long gun.Maguajumped towards a higher rock and Hawk- eye fired.Magua'sfingers touched the rock.But the bullet from Hawk- eye's gun killed him.And his body fell down and down onto the rocks.A day later, General Munro, Duncan and Alice stood by the graves of Uncas and Cora.They were sad and silent.Then they said good bye to Hawk-eye, Chingachgook, and the Delawares.And they walked away into the forest.Chingachgook looked at Hawk-eye.'All the people of my tribe have gone now,' he said. 'I am alone.''No,'said Hawk-eye. 'Uncas has gone. But you are not alone.'He put his hand on Chingachgook's hand.The tears of the two friends fell onto the grave of Uncas.In 1758, General Munro died. Alice married Duncan Heyward and they lived happily together.From that time, the Delawares told their children the story of the English woman and the young Mohican.And they told their children the words of Tamenund, the old chief 'The time of the right man has gone. We fought for our land. But now there are many white men - as many as the leaves on the trees. I have lived too long. I have seen the last of the Mohicans!'翻译第十二章:最后的莫希干人玛瓜和科拉走进了森林。他们朝休伦村走去。一个小时后,鹰眼、邓肯和马瓜跟着200名年轻的特拉华人一起去了。所有人都留在了特拉华的村庄。鹰眼对乌卡斯说。他说,“海沃德少校和我将找到钦加古和门罗将军。他们在森林里很安全。乌卡斯,带上特拉华人。跟着马瓜的足迹走。小心!森林里会有很多休伦人。我们在休伦村见。马瓜会带科拉去山上的山洞。我们会找到她的。我们会帮助她的。”“来吧,”邓肯说。鹰眼和邓肯很快找到了钦加古和门罗。他们很快把自己的经历告诉了门罗。这四个人就往休伦人的村子去了。他们向山上的山洞走去。突然,他们听到喊叫声和哭声。他们向下看了看村子,所有的特拉华人都在村里和休伦人战斗,然后马瓜和一些休伦人跑上了山。他们要去的山洞就在他们后面。鹰眼和他的朋友们与休伦人作战。战斗很激烈,但马瓜逃了出来。然后鹰眼、邓肯、门罗、莫希干人和他们的朋友们又见到了马瓜。他和另一个休伦人在一起。他们在山洞前面。两个印第安人拉着科拉。“科拉!”邓肯喊道。“科拉在那儿!”乌卡斯朝山洞上方的岩石跑去。科拉在山洞前停了下来。马瓜拿出了他的刀。他转向科拉。“女人!”他喊道,“你愿意做马瓜的妻子吗?不然你会死的!”“杀了我吧,马瓜!”科拉说。“我不跟你去!”突然传来一声喊叫。乌卡斯站在他们上方的岩石上。马瓜抬起头来。另一个休伦人转向科拉。他用刀捅了她,然后杀了她。马瓜生气地喊道。他举起刀,杀死了休伦人。然后,乌卡斯扑向了马瓜。他们战斗。但马瓜很快就转过身来。他捅了乌卡斯四刀。年轻的莫希干人站了一会儿。然后,他倒在马瓜的脚下,死了。鹰眼看到乌卡斯倒下了。侦察员向马瓜跑去。玛瓜沿着小路跑了起来。他的敌人在他下面。玛瓜爬上了岩石。然后他转过身往下看。鹰眼停止了奔跑。他举起长枪。马瓜跳向更高的岩石,鹰眼开火了。玛瓜的手指碰到了岩石。但是鹰眼枪里的子弹杀死了他。他的身体不停地倒在岩石上。一天后,门罗将军、邓肯和爱丽丝站在乌卡斯和科拉的墓前。他们悲伤而沉默。然后他们向鹰眼、钦加古和特拉华人告别。然后他们走进了森林。钦加古看着鹰眼。他说,“我们部落的人都走了。“我一个人。”“没有。”鹰眼说。“乌卡斯走了。但你并不孤单。”他把手放在钦加古的手上。两个朋友的眼泪落在乌卡斯的坟墓上。1758年,门罗将军去世。爱丽丝嫁给了邓肯·海沃德,他们幸福地生活在一起。从那时起,特拉华人就给孩子们讲那个英国女人和年轻的莫希干人的故事。他们把老首领塔米纳德的话告诉了他们的孩子:“正义的时代已经过去了。我们为我们的土地而战。但是现在有很多白人——和树上的叶子一样多。我活得太久了。我见到了最后一个莫希干人!”

Send us a textWhat happens when you finally stop trying to fit in and start embracing your true self? Patrick Bevan's transformation from corporate misfit to change alchemist reveals the power of authenticity in both life and business.Patrick's journey begins with childhood struggles of not belonging – growing up in Hull as the kid who didn't fit in. The narrative takes a fascinating turn with a seemingly random walk through Battersea Park with a stranger who would become one of the world's most successful fund managers. This chance encounter catapulted Patrick from a dead-end job in a television shop to a cutting-edge trading firm, setting him on a path through the corporate world where he would continually feel like an outsider.The turning point came when a Myers-Briggs assessment revealed Patrick as the lone ENFP in a room full of introverted, judgmental bankers. The facilitator's words struck deep: "The bank absolutely needs people like you because you bring the spark, but they'll never welcome you." Years later, an ADHD diagnosis would help Patrick understand why he'd always felt different – and how that difference could become his greatest strength.When the pandemic hit, Patrick embraced radical change. Sporting a purple mohican and questioning his corporate path, he finally took the leap to establish Change Alchemy, where his unique ability to see solutions others miss has become his superpower. "I see things that you don't see because you're down in your rabbit hole," he explains, perfectly capturing the value he brings to clients.Despite leaving the security of a corporate salary, Patrick is now "happier than I've ever been in my life." His story isn't just about career transformation – it's about the courage to embrace your authentic self and turn perceived weaknesses into strengths. Whether you're feeling stuck in a job that doesn't value your unique perspective or considering a bold change in direction, Patrick's journey offers both inspiration and practical wisdom.Ready to solve problems differently?

The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper词汇提示1.tattoo 纹身原文Chapter XI: The Old ChiefMagua went to the Delawares' village.The Delawares were friends of France. But they did not fight in the war.Magua went to the Delawares' meeting-house.The Delaware chiefs were talking.'The Huron chief is welcome,' said a Delaware.'Is my woman prisoner safe and well?' asked Magua.'She is well,' said the Delaware.Then Magua said, 'Are there strangers in the forest? White men?''There are strangers in the village,' said the Delaware. 'They are in my house. But strangers are always welcome in this village.''What will the King of France say about this?' said Magua. 'His greatest enemy is here in the Delawares' village. This enemy is a white man. He kills many friends of the French.''Which white man is an enemy of France?' asked the Delaware chief.'The scout, Hawk-eye!' said Magua. 'The Long Gun! The other strangers are his friends. They are the enemies of France too.'The Delawares started to talk quietly.One of them left the meeting-house quickly.A few minutes later, he came back.Then a very old man came into the meeting-house.Two young Delawares helped the old man.He had long white hair and there were many lines on his face.The chiefs spoke his name -'Tamenund.'Magua knew the name of this famous Delaware chief.Tamenund was more than one hundred years old!Tamenund sat down. Then he spoke to the two young Delawares.They got up and went away .Soon,they came back with Alice, Cora, Duncan and Hawk-eye.Cora was very angry.She spoke to the chiefs.'Yesterday, we were welcome in this village,' she said. 'The Delawares were our friends.Today we are your prisoners. Why are we prisoners?'Tamenund did not answer.'Which man is Hawk-eye, The Long Gun?' he asked.Hawk-eye walked forward. 'I am Hawk-eye,' he said.Then Tamenund spoke quickly to Magua.'Take your prisoner - the dark-haired woman. Go!' he said.But Cora spoke to the old chief.'Another man came to this village with us,' she said. 'Now he is a prisoner too. But he is one of your own people. He will tell our story. Please! Listen to him!'Tamenund looked at the chiefs.'Who is this other prisoner?' he asked.'He fights for the English,' Magua said quickly. 'You must kill him.''Bring him here!' said Tamenund.Two men left the meeting-house. Soon they came back with Uncas.Uncas was not wearing a shirt. His hands were tied .He stood in front of Tamenund.The old chief looked at him.Tamenund saw a tattoo on Uncas's chest.It was a picture of a turtle.'Who are you?' The old chief asked.'I am Uncas, son of Chingachgook. Son of the great Unamis,the Turtle' Uncas replied. Chingachgook and Uncas are the last of the Mohicans.Tamenund looked at Uncas.Then he smiled at the young Mohican.'Your father is a great chief,' he said.Uncas suddenly saw Hawk-eye.'Delaware Father,' he said to Tamenund. 'This is my friend, Hawk-eye. He is a friend of the Delawares.''The Long Gun?' said Tamenund. 'He is not a friend of the Delawares. He kills our young men.'Then Hawk-eye spoke.'I kill Hurons,' he said. 'I have never killed a Delaware.'The Delawares believed Hawk-eye's words.Tamenund looked at Uncas.'Why are you the Huron's prisoner?' he asked.'I helped the English woman,' said Uncas.Tamenund looked at Cora.Then he spoke to Magua.'And why is the English woman your prisoner ?' he asked.'I hate the English! ' said Magua. 'Now the daughter of an English chief is my prisoner. Now the daughter of Munro will be my wife.'Magua went to Cora and held her arm.'Wait!'shouted Duncan. ' Don't take her. The English will give you money.'But Magua did not listen. He pulled Cora towards the door.'Come!'he said to her.'I am your prisoner,' Cora said to Magua. 'But do not touch me.'She turned to Duncan.'Please take care of my young sister,' she said.She kissed Alice.Then she spoke to Magua. 'I will come with you.''And I will come too!' shouted Duncan. 'I will help you, Cora!''Wait!'said Hawk-eye. He held Duncan's arm.Hawk-eye spoke quickly and quietly.'Magua's friends are waiting in the forest,' he said.'They will kill you.''Huron!'said Uncas. 'We will find you! We will kill you!'But Magua laughed.'Mohican,'said Magua. 'You cannot kill me. I am too strong. Stay here with your brothers,the Delawares. They are weak. They like their homes and their food. They do not like fighting. They will not help you.'Then Magua walked out of the meeting house.Cora followed him.Uncas spoke to Tamenund.'Delaware Father,' he said. 'Help us. We must follow the English woman.'Tamenund called the young men of the village.'Go with the Mohican,' he said. 'The Hurons are now our enemies!'翻译第十一章:老酋长马瓜去了特拉华人的村庄。特拉华人是法国的朋友。但是他们没有参加战争。马瓜去了特拉华人的聚会所。特拉华的酋长们正在谈话。一位特拉华人说,休伦族酋长是受欢迎的。“我的女囚犯平安吗?”玛瓜问。“她很好,”特拉华人说。然后马瓜说:“森林里有陌生人吗?白人?”“村里有陌生人,”特拉华人说。“他们在我家里。但是这个村子总是欢迎陌生人的。”“法国国王会怎么说呢?”马瓜说。“他最大的敌人就在特拉华的村子里。这个敌人是个白人。他杀了很多法国人的朋友。”“哪个白人是法国的敌人?”特拉华酋长问。“侦察兵,鹰眼!”玛瓜说。“长枪!其他的陌生人都是他的朋友。他们也是法国的敌人。”特拉华人开始轻声交谈。其中一个很快离开了会场。几分钟后,他回来了。这时,一位老人走进了会议室。两个年轻的特拉华人帮助老人。他有长长的白发,脸上有许多皱纹。酋长们叫他的名字——“塔米纳德”。马瓜知道这位著名的特拉华酋长的名字。塔米纳德已经一百多岁了!塔米纳德坐了下来。然后他对两个年轻的特拉华人说。他们起身走了。很快,他们带着爱丽丝、科拉、邓肯和鹰眼回来了。科拉非常生气。她对酋长们说。“昨天,我们在这个村子受到欢迎,”她说。“特拉华人是我们的朋友。今天我们是你们的囚犯。为什么我们是囚犯?”塔米纳德没有回答。“谁是鹰眼,长枪?”他问。鹰眼向前走去。“我是鹰眼,”他说。然后塔米纳德迅速地对马瓜说。“带上你的俘虏——那个黑头发的女人。走吧!”他说。但科拉和老酋长谈了谈。“另一个男人和我们一起来到这个村子,”她说。“现在他也是个囚犯。但他是你们自己人。他将讲述我们的故事。拜托!听他的!”塔米纳德看着酋长们。“另一个囚犯是谁?”他问。“他为英国人而战,”马瓜很快地说。“你必须杀了他。”“把他带来!”塔米纳德说。两个人离开了会场。不久,他们带着乌卡斯回来了。乌卡斯没有穿衬衫。他的手被绑住了。他站在塔米嫩德面前。老酋长看着他。塔米纳德在昂卡斯的胸前看到了一个纹身。这是一张乌龟的照片。“你是谁?”老酋长问。“我是乌卡斯,钦加古之子。伟大的乌龟神乌那弥斯之子。”昂卡斯回答。钦加古和乌卡斯是最后的莫希干人。塔米纳德看着乌卡斯。然后他对年轻的莫希干人微笑。“你父亲是个伟大的酋长,”他说。乌卡斯突然看见鹰眼。“特拉华州的父亲,”他对塔米嫩德说。“这是我的朋友,鹰眼。他是特拉华人的朋友。”“长枪?”塔米纳德说。“他不是特拉华人的朋友。他杀了我们的年轻人。”然后鹰眼说话了。“我杀休伦人,”他说。“我从来没有杀过特拉华人。”特拉华人相信鹰眼的话。塔米纳德看着乌卡斯。“你为什么是休伦人的俘虏?”他问。“我帮助了那个英国女人,”乌卡斯说。塔米嫩德看着科拉。然后他对马瓜说。“为什么那个英国女人是你的俘虏?”“我讨厌英国人!”马瓜说。“现在一个英国酋长的女儿是我的俘虏。现在,门罗的女儿将成为我的妻子。”马瓜走到科拉跟前,挽着她的胳膊。“等等!”邓肯喊道。“别带走她。英国人会给你钱的。”但马瓜不听。他把科拉拉到门口。“来!”他对她说。“我是你的俘虏,”科拉对马瓜说。“但是不要碰我。”她转向邓肯。“请照顾好我的妹妹,”她说。她吻了吻爱丽丝。然后她对马瓜说。“我和你一起去。”“我也要去!”邓肯喊道。“我会帮助你的,科拉!”“等等!”鹰眼说。他抓住邓肯的胳膊。鹰眼说得又快又轻。“马瓜的朋友们在森林里等着,”他说。“他们会杀了你的。”“休伦人!”乌卡斯说。“我们会找到你的!”我们要杀了你!”但马瓜笑了。“莫希干人,”玛瓜说。“你不能杀我。我太强壮了。和你的兄弟们呆在一起,特拉华人。他们很弱。他们喜欢他们的家和食物。他们不喜欢打架。他们不会帮助你的。”然后,马瓜走出了会议室。科拉跟着他。乌卡斯对塔米嫩德说。“特拉华人的父亲,”他说。“帮助我们。我们必须跟着那个英国女人。”塔米纳德叫来村里的年轻人。“跟莫希干人一起去,”他说。“休伦人现在是我们的敌人!”

The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper原文Chapter IX: In the Hurons' VillageUncas was not afraid.The Hurons ran around him.They shouted. They pulled him towards the wooden building.Uncas saw Duncan outside the building.'Hawk-eye is safe, Uncas,' Duncan said quietly.Then the Hurons took Uncas into the meeting-house.Duncan walked through the village.He looked in the houses.Nobody stopped him. Nobody asked any questions.But Duncan did not find Alice and Cora.He went back to the meeting-house. He went inside.Uncas was standing and the chiefs were sitting.Duncan sat down too. He sat near the wall.Then another Huron came into the building.It was Magua! Magua did not see Duncan.But he saw Uncas.He shouted, 'Mohican, you must die!'Magua was angry. He turned to the chiefs.'Many Hurons died at Glenn's Falls,' he said. 'This Mohican is our enemy!'Magua and two Huron stook the young Mohican out of the meeting-house.Then one of the chiefs spoke to Duncan.'Medicine man, the wife of one of my men is ill- she is sick. Can you make her well?''Take me to the woman,' said Duncan.He followed the chief out of the meeting-house.They went towards a hill. There was a cave in the hill.Duncan saw a bear following them, but he was not afraid.Indians liked bears. They often had bears at their villages.Duncan followed the chief into the cave.The cave was large, and there were many rooms with stone walls.The chief took Duncan into one room.The sick woman was lying on the ground.Some other women were with her.Duncan looked at the sick woman.She is dying, he thought.The Huron chief waited and looked at Duncan.Duncan turned to the Huron chief.'I must look at this sick woman alone ,' he said. 'My medicine is secret. Go with these four women. Wait outside.'The chief and the four women left the cave.A few minutes later, the bear came into the cave.The bear made a loud noise.Duncan looked at the bear.Again, the bear made a loud noise. It walked towards Duncan.Suddenly, it took off its head!It was Hawk-eye! Hawk-eye was wearing a bear's skin!'What?' said Duncan.Then he laughed. 'Why are you wearing a bear's skin?' he asked.'I found the bear's skin in a Huron's house,' said Hawk-eye. 'Now the Hurons will not stop me. But tell me. Where is Miss Alice?''I have been unlucky. I have not found Alice or Cora. And Uncas is a prisoner of the Hurons.''Magua has taken Miss Cora to the village of the Delawares,' said Hawk-eye.'I heard two Hurons talking about her. Chingachgook and Munro are safe in the forest.'Then Hawk-eye heard a noise.He looked over as tone wall.'Miss Alice is in the next room!' he said.Duncan went into the next room.There were some blankets, cloths and animals' skins in the room.And there was Alice.Her hands and feet were tied with rope. Her face was white.She was afraid.'Duncan!' she said. 'You are here.''Yes,' said Duncan.He untied her hands and feet.'Where is Cora?' asked Alice. 'Where is my father?''Your father is safe. He is with Chingachgook,' said Duncan.'And Cora?' Alice asked again.'She is near here. She is at another village,' said Duncan. 'She is with the Delawares.'Suddenly, somebody came into the room. It was Magua!翻译第九章:在休伦人的村子里乌卡斯并不害怕。休伦人围着他跑。他们大喊。他们把他拉向木制建筑。乌卡斯在大楼外面看到了邓肯。“鹰眼很安全,乌卡斯。”邓肯平静地说。休伦一家把恩卡斯带进了会议室。邓肯穿过村庄。他看了看房子。没有人阻止他。没有人问任何问题。但是邓肯没有找到爱丽丝和科拉。他回到会议室。他走了进去。乌卡斯站着,酋长们坐着。邓肯也坐了下来。他坐在墙边。接着,另一个休伦人走进了大楼。是马瓜!马瓜没有看见邓肯。但他看到了乌卡斯。他喊道:“莫希干,你必须死!”马瓜很生气。他转向酋长们。“很多休伦人死在格伦瀑布,”他说。“这个莫希干人是我们的敌人!”马瓜和两个休伦人把年轻的莫希干人拖出了会堂。这时,一个酋长对邓肯说:“药师,我一个手下的妻子病了——她病了。你能治好她吗?”“带我去见那个女人,”邓肯说。他跟着酋长走出了会议室。他们朝一座小山走去。山上有个山洞。邓肯看到一只熊跟着他们,但他并不害怕。印第安人喜欢熊。他们的村子里经常有熊。邓肯跟着酋长进了山洞。洞穴很大,有许多石墙的房间。警长把邓肯带进一个房间。那个生病的女人躺在地上。其他一些女人和她在一起。邓肯看着那个生病的女人。她快死了,他想。休伦酋长等着,看着邓肯。邓肯转向休伦酋长。“我必须单独看看这个生病的女人,”他说。“我的药是秘密的。你跟这四个女人一起去,在外面等着。”酋长和四个女人离开了山洞。几分钟后,熊进了洞。熊发出一声巨响。邓肯看着熊。熊又发出了一声巨响。它朝邓肯走去。突然,它的头掉了下来!是鹰眼!鹰眼披着熊皮!“什么?”邓肯说。然后他笑了。“你为什么穿着熊皮?”他问。“我在一个休伦人的房子里发现了熊皮。”鹰眼说。“现在休伦人不能阻止我了。告诉我。爱丽丝小姐在哪儿?”“我运气不好。我还没找到爱丽丝和科拉。而乌卡斯是休伦人的俘虏。”“马瓜把科拉小姐带到特拉华村去了。”鹰眼说。“我听到两个休伦人在谈论她。钦加古和门罗在森林里很安全。”然后鹰眼听到一个声音。他朝那边看了看。“爱丽丝小姐在隔壁房间!”他说。邓肯走进了隔壁房间。房间里有一些毯子、布和兽皮。还有爱丽丝。她的手脚被绳子捆着。她脸色苍白。她很害怕。“邓肯!”她说。“你在这儿。”“是的,”邓肯说。他解开了她的手脚。“科拉在哪儿?”爱丽丝问。“我父亲在哪儿?”“你父亲很安全。他和钦加古在一起。”邓肯说。“和科拉?”爱丽丝又问。“她就在附近。“她在另一个村子里。”邓肯说。“她是在特拉华人那里。”突然,有人走进房间。是马瓜!
The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper原文Chapter VIII: The Medicine ManIn the evening, the five men arrived at the north end of Lake Horican.They got out of the canoe and Uncas and Chingachgook carried it.They put it under some trees.'We have lost the trail,' said Duncan. 'Where shall we go!''My Mohican friends know the path to the Hurons' village,' said Hawk-eye. 'It is north of this place. That is where Magua is going. We will go north too.'For two days, the men followed the path.They walked many miles.They arrived at the Hurons' village on the second day.It was early evening. There were about a hundred houses by a small lake.Hawk-eye spoke to Chingachgook and Uncas.Then he spoke to Duncan and Munro.'General Munro, stay with Chingachgook,' said Hawk-eye. 'Stay in the forest . Duncan and I will going to the village . Uncas, go up the hill to the west. Watch the village. Come back quickly. Tell us about the guards.'An hour passed. The four men waited. Uncas did not come back.Suddenly Duncan spoke.'I have a plan,' he said. 'Hawk-eye, give me your coat. I must not wear my red soldier's coat in the village. I will be a medicine man, a French doctor. Iwill speak French. I will walk through the village and go into the houses. The Hurons will not hurt a medicine man. I will find Alice and Cora.'It was a dangerous plan.Duncan put on Hawk-eye's coat.Then he walked into the Hurons' village.There was a large wooden building in front of him.It was the meeting-house of the Huron chiefs.Duncan went inside.Some Huron chiefs were sitting together.They saw Duncan come in.One of the chiefs walked forward.His hair was grey and he was tall and strong.He spoke to Duncan in the Huron language.But Duncan did not understand.'Do you speak French?' Duncan asked.The Huron replied in French.'Why are you here?' he asked.'I am a medicine man,' said Duncan. 'The King of France sent me. Are any Hurons ill?'Suddenly, there were loud cries from the forest.The chiefs left the meeting-house. Duncan followed them.More Hurons were coming into the village.There was a prisoner in front of them.It was Uncas!翻译第八章:药师傍晚,这五个人到达了霍里肯湖的北端。他们下了独木舟,乌卡斯和钦加古拿着它。他们把它放在一些树下。“我们迷路了,”邓肯说。“我们到哪儿去呢?”“我的莫希干朋友知道去休伦人村庄的路。”鹰眼说。“在这个地方的北边。这就是马瓜要去的地方。我们也要往北走。”他们沿着这条路走了两天。他们走了许多英里。第二天,他们到了休伦人的村庄。那是傍晚时分。一个小湖边大约有一百所房子。鹰眼采访了钦加古和乌卡斯。然后他对邓肯和门罗说。鹰眼说:“门罗将军,跟在钦加古克身边。待在森林里。邓肯和我要去村里。乌卡斯,到山上往西走。看着村子。快点回来。给我们讲讲守卫的事。”一个小时过去了。四个人等着。乌卡斯没有回来。突然,邓肯说话了。“我有一个计划,”他说。“鹰眼,把你的外套给我。我不能在村子里穿我的红色军服。我将成为一名药师,一名法国医生。我会说法语。我会穿过村子,走进房子里。休伦人不会伤害药师的。我会找到爱丽丝和科拉的。”这是一个危险的计划。邓肯穿上鹰眼的外套。然后他走进休伦人的村庄。在他面前有一座巨大的木制建筑。这是休伦部落首领的会议场所。邓肯走了进去。一些休伦酋长坐在一起。他们看见邓肯进来了。一个酋长走上前。他头发花白,又高又壮。他用休伦语和邓肯说话。但是邓肯不明白。“你会说法语吗?”邓肯问。休伦人用法语回答。“你为什么在这儿?”他问。“我是个药师,”邓肯说。“法国国王派我来的。休伦有人病了吗?”突然,森林里传来了巨大的叫声。酋长们离开了会场。邓肯跟着他们。更多的休伦人来到村子里。他们面前有一个囚犯。是昂卡斯!

In this episode, the Munsons are joined by guest Munson, Dames Marvs, to dive into the elusive, mesmerizing world of Sir Daniel Day-Lewis. We cover it all—stories from off the screen that are just as legendary as his performances, the mystery behind why he's so selective with his roles, and how he seemingly gives up being himself while on a set. We marvel at the bizarre twists of fate that shaped him: the schoolyard bullies, the carpenter who turned him down, and the wild journey that followed. We talk about the time he learned a foreign language for a film that wasn't even in that language, speculate if Tarantino may have accidentally saved his life by passing on him for Pulp Fiction, and ponder the possibility of home videos of his kids asking why dad is dressed like Hawkeye from The Last of the Mohicans. Finally, we look ahead to the inevitable day Sir Daniel will defend the crown using every survival skill he's gained from decades of full-immersion acting. Do we have a new #1 rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
Hang onto your slipcases because Blake Howard (One Heat Minute Productions) and special guest Bilge Ebiri (film critic/writer/editor at New York Magazine) collaborate to dissect a special CRITERION COLLECTION release.ThiefThe contemporary American auteur Michael Mann's bold artistic sensibility was already fully formed when he burst out of the gate with Thief, his debut feature. James Caan stars, in one of his most riveting performances, as a no-nonsense ex-con professional thief planning to leave the criminal world behind after one last score—but he discovers that escape is not as simple as he'd hoped. Finding hypnotic beauty in neon and rain-slick streets, sparks and steel, Thief effortlessly established the moody stylishness, tactile approach, and drama that would also define such later iconic Mann films as Heat, The Insider, Ali, and The Last of the Mohicans.DIRECTOR-APPROVED 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration of the director's cut, supervised and approved by director Michael Mann, with 5.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresAudio commentary featuring Mann and actor James CaanInterviews with Mann, Caan, and Johannes Schmoelling of the band Tangerine Dream, which contributed the film's soundtrackTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Nick JamesCover by Fred DavisBILGE EBIRI: BILGE EBIRI IS A FILM CRITIC/WRITER/EDITOR AT NEW YORK MAGAZINE.
