Tolkien's complete artwork for his magisterial novel, published on the sixtieth anniversary of The Lord of the Rings
As he wrote The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien's mental pictures often found expression in drawing, from rough sketches made within the manuscript to more finished illustrations. Only a few of these were meant for publication; most were aids to help Tolkien conceive his complex story and keep it consistent. Many do not illustrate the final text, but represent moments of creation, illuminating Tolkien's process of writing and design. In addition to pictorial sketches, numerous maps follow the development of the Shire and the larger landscape of Middle-earth, while inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, and "facsimile" leaves from the burned and blood-stained Book of Mazarbul, support Tolkien's pose as an "editor" or "translator" of ancient records.
The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien collects these drawings, inscriptions, maps, and plans in one deluxe volume. More than 180 images are included, all of them printed in color from high-quality scans and photographs, more than half not previously published. Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, two of the world's leading Tolkien scholars, have edited the book and provide an expert introduction and comments.

Описание: This new edition of a bestselling textbook is designed for students, scholars, and anyone interested in 20th century fashion history. Accessibly written and well illustrated, the book outlines the social and cultural history of fashion thematically, and contains a wide range of global case studies on key designers, styles, movements and events. The new edition has been revised and expanded: there are new sections on eco-fashion, fashion and the museum, major changes in the fashion market in the 21st century (including the impact of new media and retailing networks), new technologies, fashion weeks, the rise of asian fashion centers and more. There are twice as many illustrations. In its second edition, A Cultural History of Fashion in the 20th and 21st Centuries is the ideal introductory text for all students of fashion.
This book examines the rhetorical force of certain key words in the discourses of Russian state, political thought, and literature. It shows how terms for cultured conduct (kul'turnost'), political affection (love, liubov', joy-radost' etc.), personhood (lichnost'), truth (pravda) and geographical integrity (tsel'nost') assumed almost sacral meaning. It considers how these terms took on a life of their own, imposing the designs of the Russian state and defining the hopes of educated society in the process.
By exploring the usage of these words in a wide range of texts, Richard Wortman provides glimpses into the ideas and feelings of leading figures and thinkers in Russian history, from Peter the Great to Alexander Herzen and Nicholas Berdiaev, as well as writers like Mikhail Lermontov, Ivan Turgenev, and Fedor Dostoevsky, giving a sense of the intellectual and emotional universe they inhabited.
The Power of Language and Rhetoric in Russian Political History provides both students and scholars with a specific focus through which to approach Russian culture and history. This book is essential reading for students of Russian government, thought, literature and political action.
Автор: Andres Pocina Perez, Aurora Lopez, Carlos Ferreira Morais, Maria de Fatima Silva, Patrick Finglass Название: Portraits of Medea in Portugal during the 20th and 21st Centuries ISBN: 9004372903 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004372900 Издательство: Brill Цена: 175330.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The theme of Medea in Portuguese literature has mainly given rise to the writing of new plays on the subject. The central episode in the Portuguese rewritings in the last two centuries is the one that takes place in Corinth, i.e., the break between Medea and Jason, on the one hand, and Medea’s killing of their children in retaliation, on the other. Besides the complex play of feelings that provides this episode with very real human emotions, gender was a key issue in determining the interest that this story elicited in a society in search of social renovation, after profound political transformations – during the transition between dictatorship and democracy which happened in 1974 – that generated instability and established a requirement to find alternative rules of social intercourse in the path towards a new Portugal.

Jahrhundert: Identitaet und Poetik: Eastern European Jewish Literature of the 20th and 21st Centuries: Identity and Poetics ISBN: 3866883838 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783866883833 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 85530.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Der vorliegende Band versammelt Beitrage der im Bereich der Judischen Studien international anerkannten ForscherInnen aus Deutschland, Russland, Polen, Osterreich, Ungarn und den USA. Zum Gegenstand der Untersuchung werden judische Literaturen des osteuropaischen Kulturraums vom fruhen 20. Jahrhundert bis heute und somit die gegenseitigen Verkreuzungen und Einflusse zwischen den slawischen und judischen Kulturtraditionen. Die Beitrage behandeln unterschiedliche, wenn auch zeitlich sich stets uberlappende Kontexte: die Entstehung und Artikulation mehrkultureller Identitatsmuster im judischen intellektuellen Leben Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts, judische Literatur der fruhsowjetischen Zeit, die Zeit der Shoah, Antworten auf historische Katastrophen und Diktaturen in der spat- und postsowjetischen Periode sowie der jungsten Gegenwart. Die gesamte Untersuchung verbindet sich dabei mit den Themen, die heute den Kern philologischer Diskussionen bilden: Interdependenz zwischen Identitat und Poetik, fiktionale Topographien, kulturelle Ubersetzung, transnationale und -kulturelle Schreibweisen, (post-)memoriale Literatur und Fiktionalisierung des Gedachtnisses.
Название: Architecture in Austria in the 20th and 21st Centuries ISBN: 3764376945 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783764376949 Издательство: Birkhauser Verlag AG Цена: 63400.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Austrian architecture is marked by a high degree of variety, which calls out again and again for the taking of an inventory. Using ten thematic and
chronological episodes, this book invites the reader on an expedition through the Austrian architecture of the last 150 years: Prologue, Red Vienna, Landscape, Power, Reconstruction,
International, System, Utopia, Collage, and The Present Day. The focus is not only on presenting individual structures' architecture is depicted with all of its many connections to the
larger worlds of culture, technology, and society.
The subject of residential buildings is singled out for special attention. This comprehensive overview achieves a systematic
documentary fusion of diverse materials. On the one hand, the chronological sequence of well-defined phases of architectural development remains present and palpable throughout as
an overarching narrative.
At the same time, the volume seeks to inspire the reader to go more deeply into individual moments, beyond the constraints of any historical canon.
Thus, the question of the continuities and discontinuities of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Austrian architecture is the leitmotif of all of the chronological segments and opens the way
to divergent interpretations.
