Book Description
The White Hound is the second book of Andrei Zamfir and it is divided into two major parts: The Grey Skies and The Bleak Life in Modern Times.The first part focuses on the odyssey of Alfred Spears through time as he reflects on ancient mythology and the duality between nature and human nature in a novel embedded in 19th and 20th-century motifs and themes. The Grey Skies stretches from the Victorian prose in the likes of Charles Dickens to the bleak fatalism of H. P. Lovecraft. Furthermore, it incorporates the author's own views on contemporary life, thus, conceiving a mercilessly mosaic of chivalry and despair doubled by creativity and literary craft.

Book Description
From the Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, a book-length poem on two educations in painting, a century apart "Between me and Venice the thigh of a hound; my awe of the ordinary, because even as I write, paused on a step of this couplet, I have never found its image again, a hound in astounding light." Tiepolo's Hound joins the quests of two Caribbean men: Camille Pissarro--a Sephardic Jew born in 1830 who leaves his native St. Thomas to follow his vocation as a painter in Paris--and the poet himself, who longs to rediscover a detail--"a slash of pink on the inner thigh / of a white hound"--of a Venetian painting encountered on an early visit from St. Lucia to New York. Both journeys take us through a Europe of the mind's eye, in search of a connection between the lost, actual landscape of a childhood and the mythical landscape of empire. Published with twenty-five full-color reproductions of Derek Walcott's own paintings, the poem is at once the spiritual biography of a great artist in self-imposed exile, a history in verse of Impressionist painting, and a memoir of the poet's desire to catch the visual world in more than words.
