Glorious Visions: John Soane's Spectacular Theater by: Furjan, Helene

Glorious Visions: John Soane's Spectacular Theater
by: Furjan, Helene

Hardcover. London, Routledge, 1st, 2011, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover in pictorial boards, 198 pages illustrated in color and b&w. Focusing on the house and museum and its considerable collections of architectural fragments, models, drawings folios and publications, this book is about thirteen Lincoln's Inn Fields in London, England, built in the early 1800s by the renowned eighteenth-century architect Sir John Soane. The book maps the influences, references, connections, extensions, and productions at play in Soane's house-museum. The house, still a public museum, was highly original in its period, and it continues to influence and impress architects and historians alike. Today's visitor is confronted by a dense, complex series of spaces, a strange aCCU1mulation of rooms, objects and effects. This book examines the ways in which Soane enlisted light, shadow, color, fiction and narrative, vistas, spatial complexity, the fragment, and the mirror to produce a spectacular space.

Graphic Passion: Matisse and the Book Arts
by: Bidwell, John

Hardcover. University Park PA, Penn State University Press, 1st, 2015, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 272 pages. Graphic Passion recounts the publication history of nearly fifty books illustrated by Matisse, including masterworks such as Lettrew portugalises, Mallarme's Poisies and his own Jazz. A fantastic production executed with great care. Part of the Penn State series in the history of the book. From 1912 until his death in 1954, Matisse was involved in nearly fifty illustration projects, many of which rank among the greatest artists' books of the twentieth century. He directly participated in page layout, typography, lettering, ornament, cover design, and even the choice of text. Drawing on unpublished correspondence and business documents, this book pays scholarly attention to his illustration methods, typographic preferences, literary sensibilities, and opinions about the role of the artist in the publication process. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotleby: Dover, K. J.

Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotle
by: Dover, K. J.

Softcover. Indianapolis, Hackett Publishing, reprint, 1994, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 330 pages. "In Ancient Greece, as today, popular moral attitudes differed importantly from the theories of moral philosophers. While for the latter we have Plato and Aristotle, this insightful work explores the everyday moral conceptions to which orators appealed in court and political assemblies, and which were reflected in nonphilosophical literature. Oratory and comedy provide the primary testimony, and reference is also made to Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, and other sources. The selection of topics, the contrasts and comparisons with modern religious, social and legal principles, and accessibility to the non-specialist ensure the work's appeal to all readers with an interest in ancient Greek culture and social life."

The essays place the Harlem Renaissance in the broader context of an awakening of black culture throughout the U.S. The book contains references to the accompanying CD, which offers 60 minutes of music, poetry, interviews, performances, and speeches, giving voice to the vibrant life of Harlem. Photographs, drawings, book covers, and posters add to the richness of this collection. A fabulous resource on the Harlem Renaissance.

Hellenism in Jewish Palestine: Studies in the Literary Transmission Beliefs and Manners of Palestine in the I Century B.C.E.-IV Century C.E.
by: Lieberman, Saul

Hardcover. NY, Jewish Theological Seminary of America, 2nd Ed., 1962, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, dark green cloth with gilt lettering on spine, 231 pages. (Essays in Judaism series) In this book, master Talmudist and scholar of the Greco-Roman world, the late Professor Saul Lieberman, elucidates words, texts, customs, and practices in either rabbinic or classical literature, often by reference to passages in the other. In Greek in Jewish Palestine, he demonstrates that almost every foreign word and phrase have their raison d'etre in rabbinic literature and that all Greek phrases in rabbinic literature are quotations. Hellenism in Greek Palestine is an inquiry into the spirit of many rabbinic observations and investigations of the facts, incidents, opinions, notions and beliefs to which the Rabbis allude in their statements.
