Sunday's Child
Author: Tom Lewis
Publisher: McBryde Publishing
ISBN: 098431847X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Sunday Everette has a childhood unlike any other in the "Jim Crow" era of the South, growing up at the Pea Island Life-Saving Station among the barren dunes of North Carolina's stormy Outer Banks. In sheltered isolation, guided solely by the influence of the Station's heroic all-black crewmen, she blossoms into a strong and beautiful young woman with a spirit to match. But Sunday's secluded paradise cannot last. Her calm, simple days by the sea must inevitably give way to the fast-approaching storms of life. Unexpectedly, those darkening skies bring with them an unlikely mix of forbidden love, murder, and revenge--along with a Nazi submarine carrying millions of dollars in gold stolen from Hitler's Third Reich. First in a trilogy, Sunday's Child begins the saga of three unique families from across the world, flung fatally together by three of mankind's most basic traits: war, love, and greed.

Edward Hopper's New England
Author: Carl Little
Publisher: Pomegranate Communications
ISBN: 9780764958489
Category : New England
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
One of the most important American painters of the twentieth century, Edward Hopper spent nearly every summer of his prolific career in New England. Coastal views, mansard-roofed houses and a still light inspired many of his greatest works. This collection presents some of Hopper's finest paintings of New England, providing a guide to the places that resonated so deeply with the artist throughout his career. Carl Little's essay examines the crucial role New England played in Hopper's development and considers the full range of his work set in the Northeast: early etchings and radiant watercolours; architectural paintings of Victorian mansions, factories, barns, and summer cottages; and the magnificent sailing pictures through which Hopper expressed his lifelong love of the sea. Also included are late-career psychological paintings-composites of the landscape with figures - which convey the loneliness and isolation for which Hopper's work is best known. Works in this book are from the collections of over twenty-five museums, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Brooklyn Museum, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, the National Gallery of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
