Автор: Ward Lynd Название: Lynd Ward: Prelude to a Million Years, Song Without Words, Vertigo ISBN: 159853081X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781598530810 Издательство: Random House (USA) Цена: 24520.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In this, the second of two volumes collecting all his woodcut novels, The Library of America brings together Lynd Ward's three later books, two of them brief, the visual equivalent of chamber music, the other his longest, a symphony in three movements. Prelude to a Million Years (1933) is a dark meditation on art, inspiration, and the disparity between the ideal and the real. Song Without Words (1936), a protest against the rise of European fascism, asks if ours is a world still fit for the human soul.
Vertigo (1937), Ward's undisputed masterpiece, is an epic novel on the theme of the individual caught in the downward spiral of a sinking American economy. Its characters include a young violinist, her luckless fiance, and an elderly business magnate who-movingly, and without ever becoming a political caricature-embodies the social forces determining their fate. The images reproduced in this volume are taken from prints pulled from the original woodblocks or first-generation electrotypes.
Ward's novels are presented, for the first time since the 1930s, in the format that the artist intended, one image per right-hand page, and are followed by four essays in which he discusses the technical challenges of his craft. Art Spiegelman contributes an introductory essay, "Reading Pictures," that defines Ward's towering achievement in that most demanding of graphic-story forms, the wordless novel in woodcuts.

Описание: A wordless 'novel in woodcuts' by America's first great graphic novelist and "the most provocative graphic storyteller of the twentieth century" (Will Eisner, pioneering American cartoonist) In this, the first of two volumes collecting all his woodcut novels, The Library of America brings together Lynd Ward's earliest books, published when the artist was still in his twenties. Gods' Man (1929), the audaciously ambitious work that made Ward's reputation, is a modern morality play, an allegory of the deadly bargain a striving young artist often makes with life. Madman's Drum (1930), a multigenerational saga worthy of Faulkner, traces the legacy of violence haunting a family whose stock in trade is human souls. Wild Pilgrimage (1932), perhaps the most accomplished of these early books, is a study in the brutalization of an American factory worker whose heart can still respond to beauty but whose mind is twisted in rage against the system and its shackles. The images reproduced in this volume are taken from prints pulled from the original woodblocks or first-generation electrotypes. Ward's novels are presented, for the first time since the 1930s, in the format that the artist intended, one image per right-hand page, and are followed by five essays in which he discusses the technical challenges of his craft. Art Spiegelman contributes an introductory essay, "Reading Pictures," that defines Ward's towering achievement in that most demanding of graphic-story forms.

Описание: Excerpt from A Laboratory Course in Physics of the Household: To Accompany Lynde's Physics of the Household This Laboratory Course in Physics of the Household covers the ground recommended by the College Entrance Board. It differs from similar courses in four ways: first, it contains Exercises in addition to the usual Experiments; second, it requires the use of the common weights and measures side by side with the metric weights and measures; third, it permits the use of much apparatus familiar to the student; and fourth, it encourages the student to set up a laboratory in his own home. The Exercises help the student to appreciate how physics is applied in his home and in his environment in general. The Exercises and Experiments together complement the classroom work.
