Book Synopsis Delphi Collected Works of Blaise Pascal (Illustrated) by : Blaise Pascal

Download or read book Delphi Collected Works of Blaise Pascal (Illustrated) written by Blaise Pascal. This book was released on 2020-06-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French seventeenth century philosopher, Blaise Pascal was also a mathematician, physicist and master of prose. A child prodigy, Pascal had numerous interests and an innovative, untiring mind, making a significant contribution to a range of fields and studies. He laid the foundation for the modern theory of probabilities, formulating what came to be known as Pascal’s principle of pressure. He also propagated a religious doctrine that taught the experience of God through the heart rather than reason. An important mathematician, he went on to strongly influence the development of modern economics and social science. Pascal's most celebrated work is ‘Pensées’ (Thoughts), a collection of fragments left unfinished at his early death. It is a treatise on spirituality, representing a defense of the Christian religion, introducing the famous concept of "Pascal's wager". This comprehensive eBook presents Pascal’s collected (almost complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Pascal’s life and works * Concise introductions to the texts * All of the major works, with individual contents tables * Multiple translations of ‘Pensées’ * Features rare treatises appearing for the first time in digital publishing, including George Pearce’s seminal translations of uncollected ‘Thoughts’ * Excellent formatting of the texts * Rare letters and fragments, available in no other recollection * Special criticism section, with four essays evaluating Pascal’s contribution to philosophy * Features two biographies – discover Pascal’s incredible life * Scholarly ordering of texts into chronological order and genres Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of exciting titles CONTENTS: The Books Essay on Conics (1639) (Tr.

Download or read book Delphi Complete Works of Edmund Waller (Illustrated) written by Edmund Waller. This book was released on 2019-04-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though little known today, the Restoration era poet Edmund Waller was a pivotal figure of the Augustan age of English literature. Rejecting the dense intellectual verse of Metaphysical poetry, Waller’s poems are known for their generalising statement, easy associative development and urbane social comment. With his emphasis on definitive phrasing through inversion and balance, he prepared the way for the emergence of the heroic couplet, which would become the dominant form of English poetry at the close of the seventeenth century. Alexander Pope was heavily influenced by his verses and John Dryden repeatedly praised Waller’s 'sweetness', describing him as 'the father of our English numbers'. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Waller’s complete works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Waller’s life and works * Concise introduction to Waller’s life and poetry * Excellent formatting of the poems * The complete poems, based on the 1887 James Nichol publication, including hyperlinked footnotes * Special chronological and alphabetical contents tables for the poetry * Waller’s rare translation of Virgil, ‘The Passion of Dido for Aeneas’, digitised for the first time * Easily locate the poems you want to read * Features two published plays, including Waller’s revision of the Beaumont and Fletcher play, ‘The Maid’s Tragedy’ * Includes Waller’s extant parliamentary speeches * Features three biographies, including Samuel Johnson’s seminal work — discover Waller’s literary life * Scholarly ordering of texts into chronological order and literary genres Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to see our wide range of poet titles CONTENTS: The Life and Poetry of Edmund Waller Brief Introduction: Edmund Waller by John William Cousin Poetical Works of Edmund Waller The Passion of Dido for Aeneas The Poems List of Poems in Chronological Order List of Poems in Alphabetical Order The Plays Pompey the Great The Maid’s Tragedy Altered The Speeches Waller’s Speeches The Biographies Waller by Samuel Johnson The Life of Edmund Waller by George Gilfillan Edmund Waller by George Thorn-Drury Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of poetry titles or buy the entire Delphi Poets Series as a Super Set
