Smee Sebastian: Paris in Ruins

Paris in Ruins

Love, War, and the Birth of Impressionism

A Penguin Classics Hardcover

A beautiful, boxed set of the major works by the three great Stoic philosophers, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith This collection presents the greatest works by the three major Stoic philosophers, in beautiful Clothbound Classic mini hardcover editions designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Meditations, written by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to provide personal consolation, is one of the most influential works of philosophy of all time. Seneca's Letters to a Stoic upholds the ideals of Stoicism — the wisdom of the self-possessed person immune to life's setbacks — while valuing friendship and courage. And in his Discourses, Epictetus argues that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not. Together, these works offer a gift-worthy introduction to Stoicism. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

In der Westtürkei operierten ab dem 16. Jahrhundert Zeybek-Gruppen als Banditen, später Rebellen. Ab Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts trugen die Zeybek und ihre Anführer, Efe genannt, als inzwischen anerkannte Befreiungskämpfer einen Fez, mit Tüchern umwickelt und mit bunter Nadelspitze verziert - die berühmten Efe-Oya. Diese Nadelspitze wird heute zum einen in der türkischen Volkskunst verwendet und dient zum anderen Modedesigner*innen als Inspiration. Die Efe-Oya werden in diesem Buch erstmals umfassend und in großformatigen Bildern präsentiert. Zahlreiche Beispiele der Efe-Oya werden in Originalgröße abgebildet, Material und Technik ausführlich beschrieben, Geschichte, Merkmale und Bedeutungen zusammenfassend dargestellt.<ul> <li>Erstmalige systematische Analyse und Beschreibung der Efe Oya, der türkischen Nadelspitzearbeiten für Männer</li> <li>Großformatige farbige Abbildungen</li>

The Shock of the Light

How contemporary artist Glenn Ligon’s expansive body of work mines American history and literature to ask critical questions about modern culture. OCTOBER Files: Glenn Ligon presents the first compilation of critical discourse on the multimedia work of one of the most influential American artists of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Often citing or annotating past literary (e.g., James Baldwin), artistic (e.g., Andy Warhol), and musical (e.g., Steve Reich) interventions, Ligon’s practice imaginatively explores the contradictions of speech, vision, authorship, identity, blackness, and belonging in works that are at once historically resonant and materially sensuous. Spanning Ligon’s emergence in the postmodern multicultural milieu of New York in the late 1980s and early ‘90s, his starring turns at Documenta, the Venice Biennale, and other international exhibitions of the 2000–2010s, and his formative impact on both new and canonical art histories, this volume provides a comprehensive accounting of the questions central to his work in painting, sculpture, video, installation, and print. With texts by writers from Wayne Koestenbaum to Rizvana Bradley, this File not only plumbs the depths of Ligon’s oeuvre but also models the various approaches to critical writing that have defined art and culture of the past 30 years.

The first sacred building on the site of today's St. Reinoldi Church in Dortmund was likely erected as early as the 9th century as a Carolingian mission center. Excavations after World War II uncovered the foundations of a 10th-century hall church. The present structure, rebuilt after the war, reflects the 1270 construction in the transitional style from Romanesque to Gothic, with late Gothic additions. Most of the 14th- and 15th-century artworks inside survived the air raids and can still be admired by visitors today. <ul> <li> Historic Landmark: Oldest city church of Dortmund, dating back to the 9th century. </li> <li> Architectural Splendor: Romanesque-Gothic blend with late Gothic additions. </li> <li> Art Treasures: 14th- and 15th-century masterpieces that survived air raids. </li> </ul>

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked as much by dry British humor as by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events. Freedman takes us from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years. Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry, he reveals a truly new story of a very old family. The Rothschilds makes a great contribution not only to Jewish history but also our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

Skylark

The big-hearted, bestselling South Korean memoir co-written by two best friends flouting gender norms and societal expectations with their decision to grow old together under one roof. When most of their peers were moving in with romantic partners and having children, Kim Hana and Hwang Sunwoo chose independence—savoring solitude, quiet mornings, and the unmitigated freedom of living alone. But in their forties, something shifted, and they were met with a new, unexpected loneliness. Refusing to settle for the outdated choice between marriage or isolation, Hana and Sunwoo made a radical decision: to buy a home and live together—not as lovers, not as roommates, but as chosen family.Now a bustling household of two women and four cats, Hana and Sunwoo still value solitude, but can do so while sharing a life and its meaning with someone else. Together they navigate the challenges and comforts of cohabiting in midlife, the growing pains of interdependence and the unexpected rewards of compromise when you’ve grown set in your ways. From sick days to career wins to aging parents and beach-side retirement plans, they are redefining domestic bliss on their own terms, where love, partnership, and home are defined not by tradition, but by choice.With warmth, wit, and sharp social insight, Hana and Sunwoo share their blueprint for building a life outside the scripts of marriage and society’s expectations for women. Two Women Living Together is a quiet revolution—a celebration of female friendship, community, and the many forms that love and family can take.

Two Women Living Together

The classic thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock, including Vertigo, North by Northwest and Psycho, achieved much of their power from the music of legendary Academy Award winner Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, Taxi Driver). In this book, author Steven C. Smith delivers an intimate account of how the reserved, but deeply anxious, Hitchcock found his ideal creative partner in the cantankerous, but deeply romantic, Herrmann. Their collaboration ended in a bitter break; but today, the music from their movies is more popular than ever, heard in Quentin Tarantino blockbusters and Lady Gaga music videos. Smith takes us inside the friendship between "Benny and Hitch," and explains why Herrmann's pulse-quickening music has become the soundtrack of our own anxious times.

Seit den 80er-Jahren ist es ein wichtiger Teil des Selbstverständnisses der deutschsprachigen Theologie, sich als 'Theologie nach Auschwitz' zu begreifen. Die veränderten gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen - das Sterben der letzten Zeitzeug*innen und Täter*innen, neue Formen des Rassismus und Antisemitismus, Migration, Digitalisierung und Klimakrise - drängen heute zu einer interdisziplinären und selbstkritischen Fortschreibung dieses Erbes. Die Beiträger*innen nehmen vor diesem Hintergrund die Pluralisierung und Verflechtung globaler Erinnerungskulturen ebenso in den Blick wie das Erbe der kolonialen Vergangenheit, interreligiöse Fragestellungen und die Transformationen des Erinnerns im Anthropozän und schreiben das Erbe der Theologie nach dem Holocaust fort.

In seiner programmatischen Schrift 
 Der Experimentalroman
 zieht Émile Zola die Parallele von der Literatur zu den Naturwissenschaften, innerhalb derer zwischen Beobachtung und Experiment zu unterscheiden ist. Von beidem brauche der Schriftsteller etwas, freilich sei man weit entfernt von den Gewissheiten etwa der Chemie und der Physiologie. Insbesondere über die Reagenzien der Leidenschaften wisse man noch zu wenig, um sie analysieren zu können. Die Texte über das Heiraten,
 Comment on se marie
 , und über das Sterben, Beerdigen und Erben, 
 Comment on meurt
 , sind viel mehr als Vorstudien auf diesem Weg: Anhand von vier bzw. fünf Fällen, die jeder ein soziales Milieu repräsentieren - Aristokratie, Bourgeoisie, Kleinbürgertum und Proletariat -, untersucht Zola gleich einem Sozialforscher schonungslos präzise, wie gesellschaftliche Zwänge, Konventionen und wirtschaftliche Verhältnisse über Liebe, Heirat und Tod entscheiden. Er offenbart die Ehe als weltliche Verpflichtung und als lukrativen Vertrag, als sichere Verbindung zweier Buchhaltungsbilanzen und als Liebesleidenschaft (denn im Elend gibt es nichts anderes mehr), er führt eindrücklich vor Augen, dass man gut leben muss, um gut zu sterben - und dass bis zum letzten Atemzug Ungleichheit herrscht.
