MOMOYAMA GENRE PAINTING Yamane, Yuzo

Japan's brief but glorious Momoyama period (1568-1603) was a time of optimism, exuberance, and expansiveness in all fields of endeavor, from art to commerce. The joie de vivre and sense of personal freedom that characterized the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries are nowhere expressed more vividly than in large screen and panel paintings of genre scenes, a subject that first emerged a definite artistic entity during the Momoyama period.
This book, generously illustrated with 153 photographs including 34 full color, traces the evolution of genre painting, in the context of the social and historical background of the age, from its tentative beginnings around 1500 to its culmination a century and half later.

L'AQUARELLE FRANÇAISE AU XVIII SIECLE Huisman, Philippe

 Il est vrai que les aquarelles sont parmi les créations les plus caractéristiques et les moins connues de l'art français. Portée à un haut degré de perfection par de grands peintres italiens et allemands, tel Dürer, cette technique n'était utilisée en France jusqu'au XVIII siècle que pour l'imagerie populaire et d'autres usages limités. A la mort de Louis XIV, en effet, le mot d'aquarelle est inconnu dans la langue française et il n'entre dans l'usage courant que sous la Révolution. Mais la réalité précède la langage. Les grands peintres français du XVIII siècle, tels que Fragonard, David, Saint-Aubin et Moreau l'Aîne, choisissent cette technique et d'emblée créent d'innombrables chefs-d'oeuvre.

42 planches couleurs, de nombreuses illustrations in-texte, 34 biographies avec 8 portraits d'artistes.

THE CANTERBURY TALES (A SELECTION) Chaucer, Geoffrey

The Canterbury Tales, compiled in the late fourteenth century, is an incisive portrait, infused with Chaucer's wry wit and vibrant, poetical language. He evokes a spectrum of colourful characters, from the bawdy Wife of bath to the gallant Knight, the fastidious Prioress and the burly, drunken Miller. As they wend their way from Southwark to Canterbury, tales are told to pass the time, and the stories are as diverse as the narrators, encompassing themes such as adultery, revenge, courtly love, lechery, avarice and penitence.
As humorous today as when it was written over six centuries ago, The Canterbury Tales remains one of the most popular and enjoyable of the classic works of literature.

HISTOIRES EXTRAORDINAIRES Poe, Edgar Allan

La période créatrice d'Edgar Poe dont le résulat fut quatorze forts volumes oú se trouvèrent réunis poèmes, nouvelles, romans, essais, critiques et correspondances, dura vingt-deux ans; Charles Baudelaire, de son côte, passa près de dix-sept ans à traduire la majeure partie de l'oeuvre sans jamais hésiter, à défaut de posséder de bons dictionnaires, à courir les tavernes de la rue de Rivoli pour pour s'entretenir avec des grooms et des marins anglais, comme le raconte Alain Jaubert, un des plus récents traducteurs de l'auteur de Gordon Pym.
Le résultat fut assez exemplaire pour qu'à bon droit Edgar Poe soit connsidére en France comme un grand écrivain américain longtemps avant sa cons´ecration (tardive) dans son propre pays.
Dans Les Histoires extraordinaires, bien avant Conan Doyle et son Sherlock Holmes, Poe avait inverté le roman policier moderne comme en témoigne le cycle Dupin inauguré par Le Double assassinat de la rue Morgue.

GOLD CAMPS & SILVER CITIES. Merle W.Wells

Idaho's gold excitement began in 1862 and for many it has never ended. Who'd believe in mountain slopes sprinkled with glod? Hopeful argonauts did and ended up at Thunder Mountain.
Snowbound at Leesburg with food and health running out. Who else to the rescue but twelve shovel-wielding miners cutting a horse path through eighteen miles of snow, five to twenty feet deep.
Just how hard would a man work for a hole in the ground? To stay alive, he'd tote more than a pick in the Owyhee War or in the mining claim battles between the Hays and Ray and Poorman interests.
Silver City... Florence... Wood River & Ketchum... Pierce... Warren... Rocky Bar... Shoup & Ulysses... Boise Basin... Yankee Fork... Atlanta... Thunder Mountain.
Boom or bust -adventurous miners scrambled by the hundreds to these and other promising diggings in central and southern Idaho. Today, the names of the old camps stir memories of a great heyday in Idaho's gold and silver rushes.
Over 150 photographs and illustrations of the early mining days in Idaho accompany this extensively revised history.

ARISTARCHUS OF SAMOS Heath, Thomas

Heath's history of Greek astronomy from Homer and Hesiod to Aristarchus serves to increase the wonder at Aristachus' simple, radical reversal of perspective and the meagre, almost casual references to it, all second hand; it makes clear why Cleanthes "thought it was the duty of Greeks to indict Aristachus of Samos on the charge of impiety for putting in motion the Hearth of the Universe...and shows that, although the theory "saved the phenomena" it was doomed as a geometer's idle whim that failed to fit observed facts. Heath's history quotes numerous thinkers, Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle and Heraclides; Heath was a mathematician as well as classical scholar and comments throughout on Greek mathematics, noting that Aristachus' treatise "is the first extant specimen of pure geometry used with a trigonometrical object..."

LA PEINTURE POMPÉIENNE Schefold, Karl

Il n'y a pas de site archéologique au monde qui soit plus célèbre que Pompéi; il n'y en n'a pas non plus sans doute qui soit plus difficile à connaître. Les troupeaux de touristes qui parcourent l'été les rues de la cité campanienne aperçoivent les monuments publics; leurs guides ne leur feront grâce ni d'un débit de boissons ni surtout d'un lupanar. Mais même après s'être entasseés dans la maison del Vettii et avoir jeté un coup d'ceil sur les fresques de Loreius Tiburtinus, même après avoir admiré, sans trop la comprendre, la frise dionysiaque de la Villa des Mystères ils repartiront sans avoir soupçonné le trésor de peintures que contiennent des dizaines de maisons hermétiquement fermées, envahies par les hautes herbes et gardées par de grosses couleuvres, qui ne sont pas bien méchantes mais qui font peur tout de même, comme me le disait cet été un gardien.

L'ITALIA ANTICA Attilio Levi, Mario

Tralasciando la ricerca delle caratteristiche culturali dell'Italia antica e concentrando l'attenzione sui fatti sociali, amministrativi ed economici, le varie articolazioni, le differenze di sviluppo, gli incontri e gli scontri di civiltà che sono tipici dei 30.000 anni di storia tracciata in questo volume, l'autore espone le tensioni e le sintonie, le difficoltà e le lotte che neppure l'unificazione romana potè variare nel fondo.
Le linee concettuali e di sviluppo sono quindi ridotte all'essenziale: dall'"uomo senza storia" delle origini alla dissoluzione dell'unità imperiale quest'opera ci presenta la lenta e travagliata evoluzione dell'Italia antica, cioè di un'entità etnografica che solo gradualmente assume la fisonomia di un compiuto organismo economico-politico.

Clean and Decent. Wright, Lawrence

The fascinating history of the bathroom and the Water closet and of sundry habits, fashions & accessories of the toilet principally in Great Britain, France, & America.

By Lawrence Wright.

"Clean and decent", says the author's Preface "is meant to entertain, even if scholarship does keep breaking through" It is indeed fascinating; sometimes astonishing. Who would have supposed that the Romans had lagged hot-water cylinders? that Queen Elizabeth I had cushions in his bath? that baths have been concealed in sofas, and washbasins in pianos? that whisky may be added to the bathwater, but that mutton chops should not be eaten in the bath?that the shower-bath calls for a hat, and can cause asphyxia? that sponges have sex? It seems that more is to be learned about past peoples from their bath-rooms than from their bath-rooms than from their battlefields; patterns of social history are mirrored in the bathwater, of found locked in the water-closet. "To the historian", says Siegfried Giedion, "there are no banal things".

Mr. Cowley has taken the first edition from its narrow circulation among scholars, faithfully edited it, added his own introduction and Whitman's original introduction (which never appeared in any other edition during Whitman's life), and returned it to the common readership to whom the great poet really speaks.

Leviné war in den Jahren unserer Freundschaft ein ungewöhnlich weichherzigen, ja sentimentaler junger Mann, der das Trommeln des Herbstregens auf den Dächern der Proletarierwohnungen in Versen besang.

ORLANDO Woolf, Virginia

"No human being, since the world began, has ever looked more ravishing. His from combined in one the strength of a man and woman's grace". Orlando lives through four centuries and many disguises. He is page to Queen Elizabeth I, beau at the Court of King James, Ambassador to the pompous palaces of Constantinople. There, he undergoes a miraculous transformation. While revolution explodes around him he sleeps -for days- and finds on waking that he has become a woman. Orlando as a woman is as beatiful, sensuous and unfashionably irrepressible as when she was a man. Times change, but Orlando's youth is unceasing. Though the Wits of the eighteenth century bore her to tears and the crinolines of the nineteenth threaten to engulf her, Orlando bursts into the twentieth century still full of energy and irreverence.

EGYPTIAN LANGUAGE Wallis Budge, E.A.

To read Egyptian one used to have to be philologist, orientalist and cryptographer at once; readers today may thank 200 years’ labor by Egyptologists from Barthélemy to Bedge for the privilege of being able to read and study hieroglyphic texts much as one studies any foreign language. The student no longerneed compare pictographs with inscriptions in Coptic and Greek on old stones and tablets: this basic guide to the Egyptian language, first published in 1910 and now available for the first time in paperback, remains the standard introduction by perhaps the most prolific, erudite Egyptologist of the century.

TECHNIQUES OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Weddle, A.E.

This essentially a practical book. It sets out to describe the range of techniques that can be drawn upon in tackling the diversity of tasks encountered by the landscape architect. Landscape is defined by the authors as the whole outdoor environment: at one extreme they deal with the conservation and management of the coastline and countryside, at the other with pavings, fencing, and the other detailing and planting of open spaces between buildings. Between these two extremes come the numerous tasks involved in town development and the design of industrial, recreational, and other specialised areas. For the lanscape architect, in his role of co-ordinador and designer, this book will be an essential manual. It will also be found useful by architects, engineers, town planners, surveyors, park superintendents, foresters, ecologists -in fact by all the land- using and land- managing professions.

CANNABIS LANDAKETA ESKULIBURUA Kalamudia ARSEC

Kalamuaren erabilera aintzinekoa da, bai papera, sokak edo ehunak egiteko, bai elikagai gisa, bai sendatzeko edo, besterik gabe, horditzeko asmoarekin. Gaurregun, ordea, kalamuaren erabilera ludiko eta mediko hura galerazita dago legez. Haxix eta marihuanaren salmenta kartzelaz zigortzen da eta, horren ondorioz, kalamu kontsumitzaileak, errepresio zuzenaz gain, prezio altuak eta adulterazio arriskutsuak jasan behar ditu.

Horri aurre egiteko modu ia bakarra norberarentzat landatzea da.

THE LONDON SCENE. Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf, one of the most admired writers of the twentieth century, is equally honored today for her fiction and for her essays, which covered a wide range of subjects. Born in 1882, she died in 1941.

These five sparkling essays on those aspects of London that have changed little since Virginia Woolf wrote of them in the 1930s show Woolf at the top of her from, blending together in her own unique fashion solid information and imaginative flights of fancy, fact and poetry.
"London", she wrote, "is a city in the full tide and race of human life." It still is. The Docks, Oxford Street, the great men's houses within its confines -Keats', Carlyle's- its abbeys and cathedrals, the House of Commons, today reflect those same enduring qualities that Virginia Woolf observed so perceptively.

ARTS OF JAPAN: NARRATIVE PICTURE SCROLLS. Okudaira, Hideo 1973 (Tokyo)

Emaki, the narrative picture scroll produced in Japan in great numbers from the tenth to the sixteenth centuries, are both an art from of great charm and fascination and a mirror of Japanese life and customs in those times. Picture scrolls came to Japan from China but there were transformed, by the emphasis on decorative style and distinctively Japanese art.
Although the delicate, dreamlike scroll of the Tale of Genji is perhaps the best known to Westerners, emaki encompass a wide range of subject matter and styles. They illustrate -usually with accompanying text- Buddhist sutras, literary works, historical acounts, moral tales, biographies, military histories, poems, fables, and legends. They range in style from the richest of coloring and decoration to simple lines in ink monochrome, and they were painted both by professional artists and by gifted amateurs.
The strong story-telling element in emaki makes natural the predominance of human figures and gives them their incomparable value as sources of information on seven centuries of live in ancient and medieval Japan. Emperor and peasant, nobere and monk, animals and goblins live in these scrollls as the artist who painted them did, reflecting that deep and unique relationship between man and nature that is so central a part of japanese culture. Because of this focus and because almost every work has a basis in a tale of actual events or in literature, picture scrolls have played a peculiarly important role in the cultural and artistic history of Japan.
