Biblija kralja Džejmsa (The King James Bible)

Biblija u prevodu kralja Džejmsa (King James Bible) je klasik koji još živi. Bibliju je naručio Džejms prvi 1604. godine kao pokušaj stvaranja unije između Engleske i Škotske i knjiga se pojavila sedam godina kasnije. Naime, 1604, engleski kralj Džejms sazvao je grupu skolara da prevedu Pisma sa jevrejskog i grčkog na engleski govorni jezik kao sredstvo kojim će učvrstiti svoju vlast. Na prevodu je radilo 47 prevodilaca u šest komiteta u Londonu, Oksfordu i Kembridžu.

Smatra se da je Biblija kralja Džejmsa najuticajnija knjiga ikada odštampana na engleskom jeziku. Predsednik Obama je položio zakletvu na ličnoj Bibliji Abrahama Linkolna koja predstavlja verziju Biblije kralja Džejmsa. Kao nastavak važnosti ove Biblije među Engleskim plemstvom, svadbena Biblija princa Vilijama i Kejt Midlton je – naravno – King James.

________________
Illustrating that in 1611, the new King James Bible was created and gave us many famous phrases. The impact of the King James Bible, which was published more than 400 years ago, is still being felt in the way we speak and write. No other book, or indeed any piece of culture, seems to have influenced the English language as much as the King James Bible. Its turns of phrase have permeated the everyday language of English speakers, whether or not they’ve ever opened a copy.

We have just one planet to call home, but we take a lot from it. Population, industry, mining, deforestation, pollution, overfishing: over time, the earth’s capacity for self-repair runs the risk of being overwhelmed. We need to think more carefully about the way we treat our environment, or we will regret it later.

Phenomenal powers of imagination and an unparalleled flair for film-making have made Tim Burton one of the most original and admired directors of horror, fantasy, sci-fi and children’s classics films for over thirty years. He started making films at age 13, inspired by his lonely childhood, and has directed 16 films since then.

This weekend English Attack! features highlights from two of Burton’s latest films: Frankenweenie, an animated take on Frankenstein, and Dark Shadows, a typically Burton-esque romantic horror film.
