The Life of Isamu Noguchi: Journey without Borders

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Isamu Noguchi, born in Los Angeles as the illegitimate son of an American mother and a Japanese poet father, was one of the most prolific yet enigmatic figures in the history of twentieth-century American art. Throughout his life, Noguchi (1904-1988) grappled with the ambiguity of his identity as an artist caught up in two cultures. His personal struggles--as well as his many personal triumphs--are vividly chronicled in The Life of Isamu Noguchi , the first full-length biography of this remarkable artist. Published in connection with the centennial of the artist`s birth, the book draws on Noguchi`s letters, his reminiscences, and interviews with his friends and colleagues to cast new light on his youth, his creativity, and his relationships. During his sixty-year career, there was hardly a genre that Noguchi failed to explore. He produced more than 2,500 works of sculpture, designed furniture, lamps, and stage sets, created dramatic public gardens all over the… [detailed...]

The Life of J.- K. Huysmans (Dark Master Series)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This, a work of literature in its own right. First published fifty years ago, this classic new edition, the first time the biography has been reprinted in English, presents a compelling narrative of Huysmans`s life and work in all its various phases. Written with impeccable scholarship, it remains a standard work of reference to this day. Baldick`s notes have been extensively revised and updated by Brendan King to take account of new developments and publications in the field of Huysmansian studies. Like Froude`s biography of Carlyle, Holroyd`s Shaw, and Ellmann`s Joyce, Robert Baldick`s The Life of J.K. Huysmans is consulted as regularly as the writing of the author whose life it chronicles. Baldick has produced the authorative biography which supersedes all previous ones, and which is the soundest, fullest and most scholarly in any language. -- Enid Starkie in The New Statesman [detailed...]

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The Life of John Wesley portrays the founder of Methodism against a vividly rendered backdrop of the religious, social, and political landscape of eighteenth-century England. Through the power of his personality and the strengthof his faith, Wesley became the leader of the English religious revival that arose in opposition to the established Anglican Church, and his theology continues to have an impact on religions worldwide. Roy Hattersley follows Wesley’s spiritual journey, tracing his constant, often agonizing attempts to define the nature of virtue as well as the path to sanctity. The story of Wesley’s theological progress is vastly enriched by Hattersley’s revealing portrait of Wesley’s complex personality. A genuine scholar, Wesley published more work than any other author of the eighteenth century. He possessed phenomenal energy, traveling huge distances to preach and proselytize.

What makes David such a remarkable person is that he cared more about what God`s opinion of him was that what people`s opinion was. After reading this book, we find out that king David was no different than we are. We all have victories in our Iife, but we also make many mistakes, but we like David can be `a man after God`s own heart.` Being a perfect Christian doesn`t mean that we never make a mistake, It simply means that no matter what circumstances arise, we keep our faith in God.

W. S. Merwin
The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes (New York Review Books Classics)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSpain has produced two books that changed the course of world literature: Don Quixote and Lazarillo de Tormes. Lazarillo is the first picaresque novel ever written, and to this day, one of the greatest. After its first publication in the 1550s, the book was banned by the Inquisition, but copies surfaced throughout Europe and were widely imitated, even by Cervantes himself. This edition was rendered in English by accomplished translator W. S. Merwin. Sold to a blind beggar as a child, then passed off to a priest, a squire, a friar, an indulgence-seller, a chaplain, and a constable - each more sadistic and incompetent than the next - the young hero must pilfer and deceive to survive, and is usually punished for his pains. But, like his successors Pinocchio or Huck Finn, Lazarillo endears himself to the reader as he learns to fake miracles and mouse infestations, to expose hucksters and the absurdities of the feudal code of honor.

Graham’s epic work paints a unique picture of this controversial woman, showing her to be neither a Catholic martyr nor murdering adulteress but a passive young woman caught up in the ruthless sea of sixteenth-century politics who lacked the shrewdness and empowerment of her contemporaries—Catherine de Medici, Diane de Poitiers and Elizabeth Tudor. Instead, she relied on her beauty and charm and allowed herself to be a victim of circumstance. When she did finally attempt to control her future, she set in motion the events that would lead her to the executioner’s block. [detailed...]

William Roper
The Life of Sir Thomas More

Publisher: —
Description: English statesman and writer Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) is best remembered as both a humanist scholar-as author of the classic 1516 political satire *Utopia*-and a religious martyr: he was beheaded by King Henry VIII for refusing to acknowledge the monarch as the head of the Church of England. Much of what we know about his life comes courtesy of this biography, by his son-in-law, English politician WILLIAM ROPER (1498-1578). Written in the mid 16th century but not published till 1626, this is history told from the perspective of a primary source-it is a riveting eyewitness account of the last days of one of the great figures of English history and literature. This reprint of an 1822 edition includes some family letters, including More`s last written communication before his death. [detailed...]

Yet in his Rule, Benedict comes across more as a practical community organizer and premier spiritual father. In this volume, Terrence Kardong offers a fresh take on Gregory the Great`s classic. He alternates between translated sections of the Dialogues and his own commentary. Crisp and direct, and infused with his wry and ever-present sense of humor, Kardong`s writing is sure to build up the spiritual life of readers and, equally important, to make them love St. Benedict.

Description: No Englishman was better placed to write a biography of Leo Tolstoy than Aylmer Maude. Maude met Tolstoy in Russia in 1888 and was a frequent visitor to Tolstoy`s home in Moscow and his estate at Yasnaya Polyana. After returning to England in 1897, Maude maintained regular correspondence with Tolstoy. With the aid of his wife, Louise, Maude began the task of translating Tolstoy`s works into English and the twenty-one volumes of the Tolstoy Centenary Edition is one of the monumental achievements of modern translation. It was Tolstoy himself who authorised Maude to write his biography and `The Life of Tolstoy`, published here in the revised edition of 1930, remains the best introduction to the great novelist`s life and works.

Description: Book DescriptionShould a temple be seen as a work of art, its carvers as artists, its worshipers as art critics and patrons? What is a temple (and its art) to the people who make and use it? Noted anthropologist Hildred Geertz attempts to answer these and other questions in this unique look at transformations in material culture and social relations over time in a village temple in Bali. Throughout Geertz offers insightful glimpses into what the statues, structures, and designs of Pura Desa Batuan conveyto those who worship there, deepening our understanding of how a village community evaluates workmanship and imagery. Following an introduction to the temple and villagers of Batuan, Geertz explores the problematics of the Western concept of `art` as a guiding framework in research. She goes on to outline the many different kinds of work--ideational as well as physical--undertaken in connection with the temple and the social institutions that enable, constrain, and motivate their… [detailed...]
