Pindar's library' is the first volume to explore how readers during the Hellenistic period encountered Pindar's poetry in book form, analysing in detail the role played by Pindar's literary, cultic, and scholarly reception in affecting readers' engagement with his epinician odes. The volume examines the poet's literary devices of encomiastic techniques, mythical narratives, and paraenetic discourses against the background of the song culture of the fifth century, considering the poems as both material documents and performance pieces. With a particular focus on the poems that begin and end the Olympian and Pythian books, the volume considers the continuities between reading and attending performances, highlighting elements of readers' experiences distinctive to Hellenistic culture. It also investigates the issue of quotations of poets in ancient commentaries, and how such citations influenced readers' understanding of intertextual relationships.0Throughout the volume, the relations between Pindar's epinicians and the contextual factors that influence their reception are seen in dialogic terms: as well as exerting a powerful influence over subsequent literature, the poems are also recontextualized in ways that shift and extend their cultural significance.

"In the seventy thousand years that modern human beings have walked this earth, we've come a long way. Art, science, culture, trade - on the evolutionary food chain, we're real winners. But, frankly, it's not exactly been plain sailing, and sometimes - just occasionally - we've managed to really, truly, quite unbelievably f*ck things up. From Chairman Mao's Four Pests Campaign, to the American Dustbowl; from the Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night, to the world's leading superpower electing a reality TV mogul as President... it's pretty safe to say that, as a species, we haven't exactly grown wiser with age. So, next time you think you've really f*cked up, this book will remind you: it could be so much worse..."

In the mid-1960s, Tom Phillips took a forgotten nineteenth-century novel, W. H. Mallock's A Human Document, and began cutting and pasting the extant text to create something new. This new fifth edition of Tom Phillipss perennially popular book follows its predecessors by incorporating revisions and re-workings over half the pages in the 1980 edition are replaced by new versions and celebrates an artistic enterprise that is over 45 years old and still actively a work in progress.

Sommigen zeggen dat er tegenwoordig zo veel onzin verspreid wordt, dat je door de leugens de waarheid niet meer kunt zien. De Verenigde Staten hebben een president die zo vaak liegt dat je haast zou denken dat de waarheid hem niets kan schelen. Sinds het internet zich heeft ontwikkeld tot een bron van fake news worden zogenaamde experts door niemand meer vertrouwd. Waar is de tijd gebleven dat je journalisten, wetenschappers en staatshoofden nog op hun woord kon geloven? Of was het vroeger niet veel anders? Tom Phillips is al jarenlang werkzaam als factchecker. Elke dag weer wordt hij geconfronteerd met totale onzin. In dit boek laat hij ons zien dat de mens al sinds het prille begin jokkend door het leven gaat. Dit is zijn hilarische opsomming van de meest spectaculaire en fabelachtige leugens uit onze geschiedenis.
