Vice in its Proper Shape

Publisher: —
Description: From Introduction: `It was the opinion of the wise Pythagoras, and of some other philosophers, that the souls of men, women, and children, after their death, are sent into other human bodies, and sometimes into those of beasts and birds, or even insects, and that they hereby change their residence either to their advantage or disadvantage, according to their good or ill behaviour in their preceding state of existence. This singular opinion still prevails in some part of the Eastindies, and that to such a degree that they make it criminal to put any animal to death: `For how do you know, say they, but in killing a sheep, a bird, or a fish, you murder your father, or your brother, or some other deceased friend or relation, whose soul may inhabit the body of the animal you so wantonly destroy?` An officer in the service of the Eastindia Company, and a particular friend of mine, had like to have lost his life by not paying a proper deference to this whimsical notion, for being some time… [detailed...]

Vicki Goldberg: Light Matters

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Vicki Goldberg, one of the leading voices in the field of photography criticism, is well known for her cogent and perceptive writing, which is regularly featured in such national publications as the New York Times, American Photographer, and Vanity Fair. Aperture’s Vicki Goldberg: Light Matters gathers for the first time a selection of this remarkable author’s essays and criticism, culled from her writings published over the past twenty-five years. Goldberg’s take on photography is both insightful and encompassing: her subjects range from pop imagery to war journalism, from photo-booth portraits to manipulated digital imagery, from the “boredom” of voyeurism to the great preponderance of tragic photographs in the news. She brings new light to the work of the medium’s “old masters,” among them Walker Evans, Lotte Jacobi, and Lartigue, writing with equal acuity about contemporary trailblazers such as Bill… [detailed...]

Vico Magistretti

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOver the past 50 years, Vico Magistretti has made some of the most simple, inventive and intuitive designs to come out of Italy. His unmistakably modest and delightful lamps, chairs and tables needn`t ever raise their voices to be heard, rather, we notice them because they are exceptionally functional and pleasing, and because they raise a smile. His Chimera floor lamp from 1966 looks like a wavy curtain, his Eclisse , another lamp from the same year, just like an eclipsing sun, its shade a horizontally rotating half-sphere. His Selene and Gaudi stacking chairs, from 1967 and 1970 respectively, were designed specifically to be molded from plastic and to fit in a tower of good design. Shigeto , from 1988, is a perfectly symmetrical cupboard on wheels, a sneaky betrayal of the idea of domestic furniture. And his colorful Mauna Kea chairs, produced by Kartell in the early 90s, are still ubiquitous, the slits in their seats and backs… [detailed...]

Victims of the Chilean Miracle: Workers and Neoliberalism in the Pinochet Era, 1973-2002

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Chile was the first major Latin American nation to carry out a complete neoliberal transformation. Its policies?encouraging foreign investment, privatizing public sector companies and services, lowering trade barriers, reducing the size of the state, and embracing the market as a regulator of both the economy and society?produced an economic boom that some have hailed as a `miracle` to be emulated by other Latin American countries. But how have Chile?s millions of workers, whose hard laborand long hours have made the miracle possible, fared under this program? Through empirically grounded historical case studies, this volume examines the human underside of the Chilean economy over the past three decades, delineating the harsh inequities that persist in spite of growth, low inflation, and some decrease in poverty and unemployment. Implemented in the 1970s at the point of the bayonet and in the shadow of the torture chamber, the neoliberal policies of Augusto… [detailed...]

Victor Regnault and the Advance of Photography : The Art of Avoiding Errors

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This lavishly illustrated book establishes the towering influence of the scientist Victor Regnault (1810-1878) in the earliest decades of photography, a period of experimentation ripe with artistic, commercial, and scientific possibility. Regnault has a double significance to the early history of photography, as the first leader of the Societe Francaise de Photographie (S.F.P.) and as the maker of more than two hundred calotype (paper negative) portraits and landscapes. His photographic and scientific careers intersected a third field with his appointment in 1852 as director of the Sevres porcelain works. Readers are treated to Regnault`s own beguiling pastoral, garden, and forest scenes, striking portraits of the scientists and artists in his circle of friends, quirky images of acoustic experiments, and an insider`s view of the Sevres porcelain works. Regnault`s richly varied photographs also encompass perhaps the most… [detailed...]

Knut Hamsen
Victoria (Penguin Classics)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When it first appeared in 1898, this fourth novel by celebrated Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun captured instant acclaim for its poetic, psychologically intense portrayal of love`s predicament in a class-bound society. Set in a coastal village of late nineteenth- century Norway, Victoria follows two doomed lovers through their thwarted lifelong romance. Johannes, the son of a miller, finds inspiration for his writing in his passionate devotion to Victoria, an impoverished aristocrat constrained by family loyalty. Separated by class barriers and social pressure, the fated pair parts ways, only to realize?too late?the grave misfortune of their lost opportunity. Elegantly rendered in this brand-new translation by Sverre Lyngstad, Victoria `s haunting lyricism and emotional depth remain as timeless as ever. [detailed...]

Jean Plaidy
Victoria Victorious: The Story of Queen Victoria

2005 y.
Publisher: Three Rivers Press
Description: In this unforgettable novel of Queen Victoria, Jean Plaidy re-creates a remarkable life filled with romance, triumph, and tragedy. At birth, Princess Victoria was fourth in line for the throne of England, the often-overlooked daughter of a prince who died shortly after her birth. She and her mother lived in genteel poverty for most of her childhood, exiled from court because of her mother`s dislike of her uncles, George IV and William IV. A strong, willful child, Victoria was determined not to be stifled by her powerful uncles or her unpopular, controlling mother. Then one morning, at the age of eighteen, Princess Victoria awoke to the news of her uncle William`s death. The almost-forgotten princess was now Queen of England. Even better, she was finally free of her mother`s iron hand and her uncles` manipulations. Her first act as queen was to demand that she be given a room - and a bed - of her own. Victoria`s marriage to her German cousin, Prince Albert, was a blissfully… [detailed...]

Stephen Wade
Victoria`s Spymasters: Empire and Espionage

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Covering the lives and achievements of five English intelligence officers involved in wars at home and abroad between 1870 and 1918, this exceptionally researched book offers an insight into spying in the age of Victoria. Including material from little-known sources such as memoirs, old biographies, and information from M15 and the police history archives, this book is a more detailed sequel to Wade’s earlier work, Spies in the Empire. Examining the social and political context of Victorian spying and the role of intelligence in the Anglo-Boer wars, the book also offers case studies on five intriguing characters—William Melville, Sir John Ardagh, Reginald Wingate and Rudolf Slatin, and William Robertson. Responding to a dearth of books on this topic, Wade both presents fascinating biographies of some of the most significant figures in the history of intelligence as well as a snapshot of a time in which the experts and amateurs who would eventually become M15 struggled against bias,… [detailed...]

Victorian Demons : Medicine, Masculinity, and the Gothic at the fin-de-siecle

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Victorian Demons provides the first extensive exploration of largely middle-class masculinities in crisis at the fin de siecle . It analyzes how ostensibly controlling models of masculinity became demonized in a variety of literary and medical contexts, revealing the period to be much more ideologically complex than has hitherto been understood. Andrew Smith demonstrates how a Gothic language of monstrosity, drawn from narratives such as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Dracula , increasingly influenced a range of medical and cultural contexts, destabilizing these apparently dominant masculine scripts. He provides a concise analysis of a range of examples relating to masculinity drawn from literary, medical, legal and sociological contexts, including Joseph Merrick (The Elephant Man), the Whitechapel murders of 1888, Sherlock Holmes`s London, the writings and trials of Oscar Wilde, theories of degeneration and medical… [detailed...]
