James Taris was only nine when he fantasised about becoming an actor, but life got in the way and nothing happened for nearly forty years. By chance he saw an amateur theatre play and was so inspired to turn his childhood fantasy into reality that within six weeks he had written The Glory of Athens, a play that he performed twenty-nine times over the next twelve months - in nine countries, on five continents - while on a 400-day world tour. In this book, James goes into great detail explaining all the stages he went through to write, promote, produce and perform The Glory of Athens, his first ever play writing effort. It is an inspirational journey that will be enjoyed by budding writers and readers alike.About the Author James Taris is an accomplished author, poet, playwright, actor and public speaker. He has travelled to nineteen countries over the past three years, thus earning himself the title of a modern-day globetrotting Odysseus. He lives the life he advocates, sharing happiness and hope with audiences all over the world. An evening with James Taris can be a life-changing experience. This book reinforces his philosophy and attitude to life.Performance History I wrote The Glory of Athens in June 2003, while I was in Shanghai, China, at the beginning of my 400-Day World Tour. And I've since given quite a number of readings and performances - in theatres, halls, offices and homes - to the public and groups that have hosted me all over the world.James TarisSYNOPSIS The Glory of Athens is a comedy on overcoming adversity that has six Ancient Greek geniuses come back to life and display the characteristics which made them so successful. The six characters are Pericles, Archimedes, Socrates, Demosthenes, Homer and Odysseus. The play has some hilarious monologues from these six characters and Demi, a modern-day accountant, who is burdened with a seemingly impossible task. In a desperate bid for help, Demi prays to God, who sends the Ancient Greek goddess Athena to his aid. Athena gives Demi a bag of magical items which enable him to go back into time, around 440 BC, when the Parthenon was being built, and see these Ancient Greek masters in action, though not exactly how he'd imagined them to be. Pericles teaches him how to tackle problems by soliciting the help of the best minds available. Unfortunately, Pericles' army suffers huge losses in a recent battle, so he's now confronted with a much bigger crisis than Demi's: saving the glory of Athens. So, the focus then turns to finding someone to help Pericles solve his seemingly impossible task. Archimedes is self-centred and obsessed with his own genius, getting excited about even his smallest achievements. Socrates has just been practising and toning up his repertoire of clever arguments to confuse his opponents. Demosthenes is a smooth talker who has overcome a speech impediment by practising with a mouth full of marbles. Homer is very inspiring, and he shares, in verse, how, even though blind, he was able to use persistence and perseverance to realise his dreams. Odysseus is Pericles' last hope and in a flash of enlightenment, comes to the conclusion that we can have eternal glory by becoming the best we can be. But although each character is placed in ridiculously funny situations, they are all presented as strong role models for Demi, who gleans a little from each one on his journey to tackling he has been burdened him with. And the play builds to a very powerful conclusion, as we find out if Pericles can save The Glory of Athens, and if Demi can solve his own problem too.

Stealing Athena is the story of two women, separated by centuries but united by their association with some of the world's greatest and most controversial works of art. Aspasia, a philosopher and courtesan to visionary politician Pericles during Athens's Golden Age, defies societal restrictions to become fiercely influential in Athens' power circle. Mary, the Countess of Elgin and a beautiful Scottish heiress, charms the fearsome men of the Ottoman Empire to make possible her husband's costly acquisitions, all the while brazenly defying the social conventions of her time. Both women prevail yet pay a heavy price for their rebellion. A tale of romance, intrigue, greed, and glory, Stealing Athena interweaves the lives of two of history's most beguiling heroines.

In Mirrors, Galeano smashes aside the narrative of conventional history and arranges the shards into a new pattern, to reveal the past in radically altered form. From the Garden of Eden to twenty-first-century cityscapes, we glimpse fragments in the lives of those who have been overlooked by traditional histories: the artists, the servants, the gods and the visionaries, the black slaves who built the White House, and the women who were bartered for dynastic ends

"Americans came to fight the Civil War in the midst of a wider cultural world that sent them messages about death that made it easier to kill and to be killed. They understood that death awaited all who were born and prized the ability to face death with a spirit of calm resignation. They believed that a heavenly eternity of transcendent beauty awaited them beyond the grave. They knew that their heroic achievements would be cherished forever by posterity. They grasped that death itself might be seen as artistically fascinating and even beautiful."—from Awaiting the Heavenly Country How much loss can a nation bear? An America in which 620,000 men die at each other's hands in a war at home is almost inconceivable to us now, yet in 1861 American mothers proudly watched their sons, husbands, and fathers go off to war, knowing they would likely be killed. Today, the death of a soldier in Iraq can become headline news; during the Civil War, sometimes families did not learn of their loved ones' deaths until long after the fact. Did antebellum Americans hold their lives so lightly, or was death so familiar to them that it did not bear avoiding? In Awaiting the Heavenly Country, Mark S. Schantz argues that American attitudes and ideas about death helped facilitate the war's tremendous carnage. Asserting that nineteenth-century attitudes toward death were firmly in place before the war began rather than arising from a sense of resignation after the losses became apparent, Schantz has written a fascinating and chilling narrative of how a society understood death and reckoned the magnitude of destruction it was willing to tolerate. Schantz addresses topics such as the pervasiveness of death in the culture of antebellum America; theological discourse and debate on the nature of heaven and the afterlife; the rural cemetery movement and the inheritance of the Greek revival; death as a major topic in American poetry; African American notions of death, slavery, and citizenship; and a treatment of the art of death—including memorial lithographs, postmortem photography and Rembrandt Peale's major exhibition painting The Court of Death. Awaiting the Heavenly Country is essential reading for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the Civil War and the ways in which antebellum Americans comprehended death and the unimaginable bloodshed on the horizon.
