Book Description
In a dangerous time before her own...a dangerous attraction. Amelie Besson is on the cusp of attaining the life she's dreamed of-until she finds herself stuck in pre-war France, fifty years before her time. The country is about to be under German rule, but her most immediate problem is Henri Durand, the arrogant and infuriatingly handsome vineyard owner upon whom her survival depends. The fiercely protective Henri challenges everything Amelie holds true-particularly her hatred of the gift that brought her there in the first place. As the bond between them grows, Amelie will begin to wonder if the life she's returning to is actually the one she wants, and if her connection to Henri might be strong enough to surmount any obstacle...even time itself. *Across Time is Book Three in the Parallel Series and ends in a cliffhanger. "Across Time is my Top Read of 2019, hands down, no questions asked."-Amazon Best-Selling Author Maria Luis "Henri and Sarah ... the feels... the angst... the tension... DELICIOUS!" -Shhh Mom's Reading "The pace of the story and the character development was incredibly written...another EPIC read from this author. Across Time by Elizabeth O'Roark will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!" -Book Everlasting "This is the only writer who can lure me away from contemporary romance and have me reading not only paranormal but historical romance and loving every second of it!" -Book Addict "The excruciatingly slow burn of Amelie and Henri's romance...steadily builds up to a thunderous climax. A romantic suspense with a twist, this tale had me on the edge of my seat..." -Kindle Friends Forever "Oh my heck, I was awake all night reading... What a treat. From Elizabeth's gorgeous writing, the super sexy Henri, the historic France setting, the off-the-charts chemistry... Ahh!!! It is so SO GOOD." -USA Today Bestselling Author Tia Louise "A slow burn romance/enemies to lovers, with fantastic chemistry...I'm at the edge of my seat waiting for the conclusion of this duet!" -Kindled Souls Book Blog

Picasso and Rivera
Author: Michael Govan
Publisher: National Geographic Books
ISBN: 3791355554
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Examining the artistic development of Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera, two towering figures in the world of modern art, this generously illustrated book tells an intriguing story of ambition, competition, and how the ancient world inspired their most important work. Picasso and Rivera: Conversations Across Time explores the artistic dialogue between Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera that spanned most of their careers. The book showcases nearly 150 iconic paintings, sculptures, and prints by both artists, along with objects from their native ancient Mediterranean and Pre- Columbian worlds. It gives an overview of their early training in national academies; important archaeological discoveries that occurred during their formative years; and their friendly and adversarial relationship in Montparnasse. A series of essays accompanies the exquisitely reproduced works, allowing readers to understand how the work of each artist was informed by artworks from the past. Picasso drew upon Classical art to shape the foundations of 20th-century art, creating images that were at once deeply personal and universal. Meanwhile, Rivera traded the abstractions of European modernism for figuration and references to Mexico’s Pre-Columbian civilization, focusing on public murals that emphasized his love of Mexico and his hopes for its future. Offering valuable insight into the trajectory of each artist, this book draws connections between two powerful figures who transformed modern art.

Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Century of Northwest wilderness skiing stories by noted expert 150 black-and-white and color photographs Celebrates the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing In Written in the Snows, renowned local skiing historian Lowell Skoog presents a definitive and visually rich history of the past century of Northwest ski culture, from stirring and colorful stories of wilderness exploration to the evolution of gear and technique. He traces the development of skiing in Washington from the late 1800s to the present, covering the beginnings of ski resorts and competitions, the importance of wild places in the Olympic and Cascade mountains (including Oregon's Mount Hood), and the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing. Skoog addresses how skiing has been shaped by larger social trends, including immigration, the Great Depression, war, economic growth, conservation, and the media. In turn, Northwest skiers have affected their region in ways that transcend the sport, producing local legends like Milnor Roberts, Olga Bolstad, Hans Otto Giese, Bill Maxwell, and more. While weaving his own impressions and experiences into the larger history, Skoog shows that skiing is far more than mere sport or recreation.
