Book Description
Imagine you're swimming... in freezing water... dressed in a tuxedo. And you're being chased by a ravenous, thousand pound carnivorous seal. Ok, you're not really wearing a tuxedo, but your plumage could pass for one. You're swimming as fast as you can, almost out of breath, hurtling toward the shore with doom at your back door. Or, imagine that you're standing outside, it's forty below zero, the wind is howling, and you and your partner decide it's the perfect moment to mate. Or, imagine you haven't eaten in over a month but the nearest meal is a week's walk away... over ice... and you lack opposable thumbs. Such drama is worthy of an epic poem. Written for the child with an appetite for vocabulary, and the adult with an appetite for poetry that rhymes at any cost, this poem tells the tale of one of the most amazing creatures on earth.

The Mediterranean Passion
Author: John Pemble
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0198201001
Category : British
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
From 1830 to 1914, journeys to the Mediterranean became part of the British way of life--and the British way of death. The Mediterranean Passion shows how a revolution in transportation enabled the British middle classes to follow the aristocracy to the South in pursuit of culture, health, pleasure, and spiritual inspiration. It carefully describes how the British traveled, where they went, how their attitudes shaped their experiences, and how their experiences shaped their attitudes. Exploring the medical, religious, sexual, and aesthetic dimensions of their journeys, the book also exposes the tension between the world that they discovered and the world that they created.

Dix Portraits
Author: Gertrude Stein
Publisher: David Zwirner Books
ISBN: 9781644230541
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Originally published in 1930 in an edition of 100 copies, Gertrude Stein’s Dix Portraits pairs her singular literary style with original lithographs by Pablo Picasso and other artists in Stein’s circle to create an exceptional artist’s book exploring written and visual portraiture. Written between 1913 and 1929, revolutionary years in art history, Dix Portraits conveys the deep human engagement between an artist and her subject. The artist’s book unites Stein’s ten portraits in prose with sketches by five artists: Pablo Picasso, Christian Bérard, Eugene Berman, Pavel Tchelitchew, and Kristians Tonny. Utilizing the interplay between word and image, Stein’s writing and the artists’ images provide nuance and depth, balancing humor and sincerity. With a new introduction by Lynne Tillman, Dix Portraits is an unforgettable artistic collaboration. The subjects represented include Pablo Picasso, Guillaume Apollinaire, Erik Satie, Pavel Tchelitchew, Virgil Thomson, Christian Bérard, Bernard Faÿ, Kristians Tonny, Georges Hugnet, and Eugene Berman. Originally printed in an edition of 100 copies with the lithography, and now widely accessible for the first time, Dix Portraits captures Stein’s legacy as a champion of artists and a pioneer of creativity.
