Henrik Reeh
Ornaments of the Metropolis : Siegfried Kracauer and Modern Urban Culture

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFor Siegfried Kracauer, the urban ornament was not just an aspect of design, it was the medium through which city dwellers interpreted the metropolis itself. In Ornaments of the Metropolis , Henrik Reeh traces variations on the theme of the ornament in Kracauer`s writings on urbanism, from his early journalism in Germany between the wars to his `sociobiography` of Jacques Offenbach in Paris. Kracauer (1889-1966), often associated with the Frankfurt School and the intellectual milieuof Walter Benjamin, is best known for his writings on cinema and the philosophy of history. Reeh examines Kracauer`s lesser-known early work, much of it written for the trendsetting newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung in the 1920s and early 1930s, and analyzes Kracauer`s continuing reflections on modern urban life, through the pivotal idea of ornament. Kracauer deciphers the subjective experience of the city by viewing fragments of the city as dynamic ornaments, an employment… [detailed...]

Ornaments

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the early 1990s there has been a great revival in the popularity of interior decoration using historical ornamental forms. `The Practical Decorator and ornamentist`, published in 1892 by George A. and Maurice A. Audsley, and here republished in a newly prepared edition, was in its day one of the best-known collections of ornamental designs. In contrast to previous new editions of the Audsleys` pattern-books, the present volume does not confine itself to reproducing their designs, but also provides a commentary based on the Audsleys` own explanatory text. Thus the reader is given hints on how to use each design, on its style and on possible colour schemes.An appendix gives detailed practical instruction on how to transfer and execute the designs, allowing interested readers to use them in the decoration of their own homes.

Aphra Behn
Oroonoko (Penguin Classics)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When Prince Oroonoko`s passion for the virtuous Imoinda arouses the jealousy of his grandfather, the lovers are cast into slavery and transported from Africa to the colony of Surinam. Oroonoko`s noble bearing soon wins the respect of his English captors, but his struggle for freedom brings about his destruction. Inspired by Aphra Behn`s visit to Surinam, Oroonoko reflects the author`s romantic views of native peoples as being in ?the first state of innocence, before man knew how to sin.? The novel also reveals Behn`s ambiguous attitude toward slavery: while she favored it as a means to strengthen England`s power, her powerful and moving work conveys its injustice and brutality.

Wright’s new fantasy is a tale about five orphans raised ina strict British boarding school who begin to discover that they may not be human beings. The students at the school do not age, while the world around them does. The children begin to make sinister discoveries about themselves.

Each power comes from a different paradigm or view of the inexplicable universe: and they should not be able to co-exist under the same laws of nature. Why is it that they can? The orphans have been kidnapped from their true parents, robbed… [detailed...]

Laurin Porter
Orphans` Home: The Voice and Vision of Horton Foote (Southern Literary Studies)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, an Emmy-winning television writer, and an Oscar-winning screenwriter of such notable films as To Kill a Mockingbird and Tender Mercies, the amazingly versatile Horton Foote has been a force on the American cultural scene for more than fifty years. By critical consensus, Foote`s foremost achievement is the Orphans` Home Cycle-a course of nine independent yet interlocking plays that traces the transformation of a small-town southern orphan, Horace Robedaux, into a husband, father, and patriarch. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including interviews with Foote, Laurin Porter demonstrates why the author`s masterpiece is a unique accomplishment not only in his personal oeurve but also in the canon of American drama. Set in the fictitious town of Harrison, Texas, and based partly on the childhood of Foote`s father and the courtship and marriage of his parents, the cycle is a wide-ranging, intricate work reminiscent of William… [detailed...]

Orson Welles (Life &, Times)

2005 y.
Publisher: Haus Pub.
Description: Orson Welles (1915-85), film and stage director, actor, writer and producer, was a uniquely talented artist who nevertheless struggled for much of his life to realize his unique vision. His greatest triumphs came dazzlingly early. In his 20s, he had a seminal influence on radio drama with his company the Mercury Players. Their 1938 radio adaptation of Welles` War of the Worlds caused a nationwide panic when listeners thought aliens really had landed in New Jersey. He was only 25 when, with the help of some very talented collaborators, he co-wrote, directed and starred in Citizen Kane (1941), generally considered one of the greatest films ever made. But when RKO studios released a mangled version of his next film, The Magnificent Ambersons, without his consent, it set the pattern of frustration and creative battles that would mark the rest of his life. Nevertheless he went on to produce several more great films - A Touch of Evil (1958) and his version of Othello notable amongst them -… [detailed...]

Orson Welles : The Stories of His Life

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description A fresh, provocative look at one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of film by `one of our most acute cultural critics` (Paul Fussell) Orson Welles was a metamorphic man, a magical shape-changer who made up myths about himself and permitted others to add to their store. On different occasions, he likened himself to Christ--mankind`s redeemer--and to Lucifer--the rebel angel who brought about the fall. His persona compounded the roles he played--kings, despots, generals, captains of industry, autocratic film directors--and the more or less fictitious exploits with which he regaled other people or which they attributed to him. Hailed in childhood as a genius, he remained mystified by his own promise, unable to understand or control an intellect that he came to think of as a curse, and he ended his days shilling wine and performing magic tricks on talk shows. At times, he saw the collapse of his early ambitions as a tragedy, in other moods,… [detailed...]

Orthodox Christians in America: A Short History

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Although there are over 200 million Orthodox Christians worldwide, 4 million of whom live in the United States, their history, beliefs, and practices are unfamiliar to most Americans. This book outlines the evolution of Orthodox Christian dogma, which emerged for the first time in 33 A.D., before shifting its focus to American Orthodoxy--a tradition that traces its origins back to the first Greek and Russian immigrants in the 1700s. The narrative follows the momentous events and notable individuals in the history of the Orthodox dioceses in the U.S., including Archbishop Iakovos` march for civil rights alongside Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Orthodox missionaries` active opposition to the mistreatment of native Inuit in Alaska, the quest for Orthodox unity in America, the massive influx of converts since the 1960s, and the often strained relationship between American Orthodox groups and the mother churches on the other side of the Atlantic. Erickson explains the huge impact… [detailed...]

Orthodoxy Awakens: The Belkin Era and Yeshiva University

Description: Book DescriptionThis book tells the story of the emergence of Torah Judaism in the United States and Canada between the years of 1940 and 1975. It was during this period of time that Jewish religious life and education succeeded in a modern, pluralistic and democratic society for the first time in history. Much of the Torah practice and scholarship that typifies American Jewry today stands as a tribute to Rabbi Dr. Samuel Belkin, a singularly gifted man, and to the university he helped create. A young, poor immigrant, Belkin grasped the opportunity of an open, benevolent American society to renew the Jewish community`s ability to combine it eternal teachings with the contemporary virtues of the adopted land which he deeply loved. This book also discussesthe rebirth of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations, an important agency of Torah life, and describes the priceless legacy of Rav Joseph B. Soloveitchik, the preeminent Torah giant of this exciting period. [detailed...]
