Description: Book Description A mosaic of lyrical vignettes, at once deeply personal and political, set against the turbulent backdrop of Arab/Western relations. Adnan writes, `Contrary to what is usually believed, it is not general ideas and grandiose unfolding ofgreat events that impress the mind during times of heightened historic upheavals, but rather the uninterrupted flow of little experiences, observations, disturbances, small ecstasies, or barely perceptible discouragements that make up day-to-day living.` Etel Adnan , a Lebanese American poet, painter, and essayist, lives in Paris, Beirut, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Among her books, the novel Sitt Marie Rose is considered a classic of Middle Eastern literature. She has been a powerful voice for compassion and empowerment in feminist and antiwar movements.

Four great artists are explored in very different ways: an interior monologue by the 17th-century Spanish painter Velazquez as he paints his masterpiece, Las meninas, a longer monologue by 19th-century Spanish painter Goya, spoken to the Duchess of Alba, short views of paintings by Picasso, and a look at the eccentric German collage painter and Dadaist Kurt Schwitters as he collects scraps, clippings, and castoffs. Unique in the approach to the concepts of story and history, these and other short pieces form an avant-garde collage of words and ideas. [detailed...]

Yet if Daudet dined in the highest company, he was also a member of a less enviable nineteenth-century French club: that of literary syphilitics. In the Land of Pain notes toward a book never writtenis his timelessly resonant response to the disease. In quick, sharp, unflinching strokes of his pen, Daudet wrote about his symptoms (This is me:the one-man-band of pain) and his treatments (Mor-phine nights . . . thick black waves, sleepless on the surface of life, the void beneath), about his fears and reflections (Pain, you must be everything for [detailed...]

In the Land of Poverty : Memories of an Indian Family, 1947-97

y.
Publisher:
Description: On August 15, 1947, the day of India`s independence from Britain, Ram Dass and his family were Untouchables--lowest of the low in an apparently unchanging caste system, landless serfs bonded to a feudal village lord in a remote part of Uttar Pradeshdeep in the heart of Hindu India. Fifty years later as the country celebrated its half-century of independence, Ram Dass`s family still suffered poverty and oppression--this despite their efforts and despite the changes which have transformed the face ofindependent India. This book is their story, and the story of modern India. Told through the voices of several generations, it takes the reader on a journey into the reality of Asian poverty--the powerlessness, the sickness, the illiteracy and all the other deprivations which enmesh the poor. Gradually we learn to understand not simply the human reality of what it means to be poor, but also the central paradox of modern India: half a century of democracy, economic growth and [detailed...]

In the Land of Retinal Delights - The Juxtapoz Factor

Description: Since 1994, Juxtapoz Magazine, published in San Francisco, has provided a forum for so called Lo-Brow art-work inspired by comics, hot rods, and popular culture --and has become, in the years since, the most widely read art magazine in the United States. Juxtapoz provides a voice and validation for a brand of artist, like founder Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Coop, Camille Rose Garcia, Glen Barr, the Clayton Brothers, Isabel Samaras, Joe Coleman, and many, many others, who have not historically been accepted by the typical art-world infrastructure of collector, curator, and critic. However, since its founding, it has become the leverage point for the creation of its own infrastructure that supports Juxtapozian art with galleries around the world, collectors, increasing critical attention, and museum exhibitions at adventurous institutions. This exciting and provocative collection presents a group of artists who rejected traditional rules of the art establishment and created their own [detailed...]

Valerian Albanov
In the Land of White Death

2001 y.
Publisher: Modern Library
Description: In the early 20th-century era of daring polar exploration, the less-trumpeted fishing and hunting expeditions went largely unrecorded. Except, that is, for a recently discovered tale about a Russian hunter and his shipmate. Valerian Albanov`s account of his 18-month-long survival in the Siberian Arctic remained unknown until a group of polar-literature enthusiasts rediscovered it in 1997. Translated into English for the first time, In the Land of White Death competes with the adventures of famed heroes Robert Falcon Scott, Apsley Cherry-Garrard, and Ernest Shackleton. And like Scott`s and Cherry-Garrard`s narratives, Albanov`s tale is penned from a diary he kept during his remarkable ordeal. Albanov`s epic begins in 1914, after he leaves the Saint Anna, a sailing vessel bound for Vladivostok and new hunting territory, 7,000 miles across dangerous water. Only a few months into the voyage, the ship is trapped in pack ice, where it drifts helplessly with the Kara Sea ice flow for [detailed...]
