Book Description
"Through text and photography, They Became What They Beheld brings into vivid focus the changed sense of self and world that now marks modern life—most expressively in the young. Why long hair? Why the turn to drugs and the inner trip? But the changes do not only affect the young, they are part of all of us. Why the new, intense concern with fashion? Why the rapid expansion of the old limits of what was "proper"? Why that "gap" that divides the generations? The book takes the form of a notebook of images and commentaries juxtaposed in dramatic contrasts and continuities. Its rhythms are more concentrated and more violent than those experienced in conventional work. They belong to the world of icon, graffiti, cartoon—our world."--

Jerusalem (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)
Author: William Blake
Publisher: e-artnow
ISBN: 807484417X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
This carefully crafted ebook: "Jerusalem (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by his uncle Joseph of Arimathea, a tin merchant, travelled to what is now England and visited Glastonbury during the unknown years of Jesus. The legend is linked to an idea in the Book of Revelation describing a Second Coming, wherein Jesus establishes a new Jerusalem. The Christian Church in general, and the English Church in particular, has long used Jerusalem as a metaphor for Heaven, a place of universal love and peace. In the most common interpretation of the poem, Blake implies that a visit by Jesus would briefly create heaven in England, in contrast to the "dark Satanic Mills" of the Industrial Revolution. Blake's poem asks questions rather than asserting the historical truth of Christ's visit. Thus the poem merely implies that there may, or may not, have been a divine visit, when there was briefly heaven in England. William Blake (1757 – 1827) was a British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

The Book of Enoch
Author: Apostle Arne Horn
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1291958584
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Content; The first part of the Book of Enoch describes the fall of the Watchers, the angels who fathered the Nephilim. The remainder of the book describes Enoch's visits to heaven in the form of travels, visions and dreams, and his revelations. The book consists of five quite distinct major sections (see each section for details): Most scholars believe that these five sections were originally independent works (with different dates of composition), themselves a product of much editorial arrangement, and were only later redacted into what we now call 1 Enoch.
