Book Description
On the Canvas of My Time is a narration of a life lived with passion, commitment and honesty that often went against the prevalent beliefs and values of the time. The author, at the age of 56, takes the reader on a solo bike ride – from the present on his family farm in rural Karnataka to parts of North India where he spent his childhood. Along the road the reader gets to see glimpses of the author’s life – the transition from the fast-paced lifestyle in New Delhi to building a sustainable, self-reliant life ethic with his partner, Juli, and their children. The book shares his worldview and provides a first-hand account of the ground realities of the yawning urban-rural divide, its impact on human dynamics and the looming environmental disaster that we are fast approaching in our blind pursuit of short-term developmental goals at the cost of real sustainability. The journal is also a narrative of the couple’s love story and their fascinating journey stretching over three and a half decades.

"Manet, Wagner, and the Musical Culture of Their Time "
Author: Therese Dolan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351559338
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
How did the tumult caused by German composer Richard Wagner result in the first modernist painting? In the first full-length book dedicated to the study of Edouard Manet and music, art historian Therese Dolan demonstrates that the 1862 painting Music in the Tuileries represents the progressive musical culture of his time, heretofore read by scholars predominantly through the words of Charles Baudelaire. Dolan sees in this painting's radical style the conceptual shift to modernism in both painting and music, a transition that, she convincingly argues, received a strong impetus from Manet's Music in the Tuileries and Wagner's controversial Tannh?er, which premiered the previous year. Supplemental to analysis of the painting, Dolan incorporates discussion of texts by Theophile Gautier, Champfleury, and Baudelaire who are represented in the painting. This book incorporates studies of the major artistic, literary, and musical figures of nineteenth-century France. It represents an important contribution to an understanding of French culture in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, a period of intense literary, artistic, and musical activity that formed the crucible for modernism.

Caramel Canvas, Donut 39 in the New York Times Bestselling Mystery Series by Jessica Beck! When Suzanne Hart returns to April Springs after being away, she learns that one of her good friends, artist Annabeth Kline, has died by accident in her studio, but as Suzanne looks deeper into the situation, it quickly becomes clear to her that Annabeth’s death was no accident! "Suzanne Hart has been away from April Springs for a while, recovering from the traumatic assault that concluded her last investigation. When she returns, she's just looking for a little peace and quiet as she gets back into the routine of running her donut shop. But when a friend dies in mysterious circumstances, she puts her detective hat back on as well. Surrounded by the people and places she loves, she sets out to get justice for her friend. Readers are assured of a sweet ending in more ways than one, as the donut recipes at the back of the book are as much a treat for the taste buds as the mystery is for the mind."

Suzanne Hart, donut-maker and amateur sleuth, believes her friend was murdered, so the investigation begins by following the clues in a coded message sent by the victim herself.
