“Inilah roman sejarah berlatar Banten setelah Max Havelaar (Saija Adinda) karya Multatuli. Semoga dapat memuka harta karun kisah-kisah heroik Banten lainnya untuk ditulis dalam bentuk fiksi.” --Gola Gong, penulis buku-buku best seller dan pengelola www.rumahdunia.net Adrian de Vries, seorang agen rahasia Hindia Belanda, diperintahkan menyelidiki sebab-musabab kerusuhan Cilegon 9 Juli 1888.

Bagaimanakah Josefine bisa lolos dari amukan massa? Berhasilkah Corrie mendapatkan harta warisan? Dan bagaimana kelanjutan hubungan cinta segitiga antara Adrian, Josefine, dan Corrie? “Novel ini tidak hanya enak dibaca, tetapi juga sarat informasi sejarah bangsa.” --Irfan Hidayatullah, penulis, dosen sastra, dan ketua FLP “Tiga orang, satu peristiwa.

Bagi Adrian, desersi itu berarti mengkhianati panji-panji Oranje yang
digenggamnya saat pertama kali mengucap sumpah setia sebagai prajurit yang
akan membela kehormatan negara, bangsa, dan Paduka Yang Mulia Raja

How Do Fables Teach? Reading the World of the Fable in Greek, Latin and Sanskrit Narratives

Fable, which the rhetorician Aelius Theon defined during the first century C.E. in his Progymnasmata as muthos pseudes eikonizon aletheian or "a false tale picturing reality" (van Dijk), has primarily been examined in modern scholarship (Perry et al.) as narrative, not as illustration intended to stimulate thought by appeals to imagination. Theon's emphasis on eikon ("image") and the idea of the fable as a metaphor (van Dijk) suggest that the fable is similar to another rhetorical device, the ekphrasis or descriptive narrative, and needs to be understood as a mode of visualization. Aristotle earlier defined metaphor in part as a way of putting an image depicting activity before the eyes of the audience. Modern ideas of signification---which reflect the speaker's or writer's role in creating a sign and the audience's role in interpreting this coded information---accordingly suggest how the ancient fable can function visually as a way of conveying knowledge about a problem or situation. Folkloric rhetoric (Abrahams) provides a method for unraveling the complex layers of speech and narrative found in fable by examining three structural levels: the materials of language and narrative, the themes constructing the dramatic conflict, and the context connecting the fable to the external world. The fable---when read as a complex made up of narrative event, image and metaphorical trope---creates a miniature world that encodes a problem or conflict within a fictional world. This world of the fable (cp Norgaard) can be seen as inhabited by animal and other characters which speak to the behaviors of humans in early Indo-European societies such as Greece, Rome and India. What modern literary critics of characterization reveal as partial forms of characterization appear in fables to explain how the workers, rulers and thinkers of these societies may have functioned in relationship to one another. Rather than being a sub-literary form for entertaining children, fables in these societies actually communicate beyond the narrative itself by depicting workers who persevere or resist labor, rulers fragmented to demonstrate the use and abuse of power, and thinkers who educate audiences to perceive solutions to their problems.

The speaker of the world of the fable provides examples of how the audience is
to read the signs that name attributes. For instance, Phaedrus' story of "The
Mouse and the Weasel"13 demonstrates a discrepancy between the name

Introduction to real analysis

Assuming minimal background on the part of students, this text gradually develops the principles of basic real analysis and presents the background necessary to understand applications used in such disciplines as statistics, operations research, and engineering. The text presents the first elementary exposition of the gauge integral and offers a clear and thorough introduction to real numbers, developing topics in n-dimensions, and functions of several variables. Detailed treatments of Lagrange multipliers and the Kuhn-Tucker Theorem are also presented. The text concludes with coverage of important topics in abstract analysis, including the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem and the Banach Contraction Principle.

A similar conclusion holds if 8q < ep. D Corollary 2. A subset £ c S is connected
