So one of your Sarfattian ancestors inspired: Shakespeares The Merchant of Venice. And gave Al Pacino the script to fulfill his dream of playing the infamous money lender. Nicks ancestors inspired The Song of Igors Campaign recently translated by Vladimir Nabokov. The Song of Igor’s Campaign is the most imaginative, celebrated, and studied work of early Russian literature. It describes a chivalric expedition undertaken in the late 12th century by a minor prince in the land of Rus’ to defeat, against overwhelming odds, a powerful alliance in a neighboring territory. The anonymous poet who chronicled this adventure packed unprecedented metaphorical agility, keenness of observation, and fascinating imagery into the lean and powerful tale of the doomed campaign. Discovered in the late 18th century and only narrowly distributed, the original manuscript was destroyed in a fire, leading to endless debate about the provenance and authenticity of the extant versions. It also served as the basis of Borodin’s opera Prince Igor. Translated by Vladimir Nabokov, the verses that constitute The Song of Igor’s Campaign are presented in their original rhyme and meter, and Nabokov’s extensive annotations provide illuminations on all the aspects of the text. ====================================================================================================================== On Jan 21, 2015, at 11:01 PM, Jack wrote: Yes Sent from my iPhone On Jan 21, 2015, at 9:12 PM, nick herbert wrote: Does that mean, Jack, that one of your relatives might have been the inspiration for a play by Shakespeare?
