Horace
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Horace was one of the greatest poets during the reign of Augustus and is seen as a mark of cultural sophistication since this time. This Very Short Introduction examines how Horace's poetry has exerted enormous influence but argues that it is best understood within the traditions of ancient literature. Llewellyn Morgan guides the reader through the dizzying vagaries of Horace's biography, which reflects the political and social instability of the period. His poetry, and the life he artfully constructs and presents to us in it, engages both with the greatest crisis that Rome had ever faced, and its resolution by the first Emperor. Horace is Rome's laureate, and through him we experience the anxieties and triumphs of his age. For posterity, Horace has served for a model of the good life, a promoter of enlightened retirement, but has also exemplified poetic artistry, and is the most creative manipulator of the Latin language, even

Silver Horace: Senor Blues
Jazz music stimulates the mind and elevates the soul of those who play and hear them and they can immerse themselves fully, said the deceased on June 21, 2014 jazz legend Horace Silver. This quote describes his attitude to music perfectly. His constant search for new ways and the urge to evolve, influenced his work over many years. Raised in Norwalk, Connecticut, he joined the Cape Verdean folk-music of his father and the gospel sounds that he taught his mother, and with the elements of bebop and rhythm n blues created so many of the most important compositions of the hard bop. This 10-CD box set contains many of the greatest albums of the early creative years, his band and as a swinging pianist in the bands of Clark Terry, Art Farmer, Milt Jackson, Paul Chambers and Miles Davis.

90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books What can you say, when a man asks you to dance with him? I most certainly will not dance with you. I’ll see you in hell first. Why, thank you, I’d like to awfully, but I’m having labor pains. Acerbic, pithy and vibrant, Dorothy Parker’s writings capture the dizzying decadence of Jazz Age New York. Parker, however, refuses to be swept along: she gleefully deconstructs its hypocrisy, prejudice and taboos with style and precision.
