Описание:
Rene Lalique was one of the giants of twentieth-century decorative arts. Born in 1860, early artistic talent led to an apprenticeship with Paris goldsmith Louis Aucoc. By 1885, Rene had established his own workshop and for the next twenty years he designed and made jewelry of great originality and beauty. He became famous across the world for his jewelry, but before the turn of the century he began experimenting with glass. It is for his glass that Lalique is most famous today.
In 1907, Lalique met the perfume manufacturer Francois Coty, and this led to the design and production of fine art perfume bottles on a grand scale. But Lalique's glass would not be confined to ladies' dressing tables, his repertoire including vases, lighting, clocks, car mascots, several architectural commissions and more, much of it in the Art Deco idiom, of which Lalique was one of the masters. Rene Lalique died in 1945, but the firm he founded was continued by his son Marc, and then his daughter Marie-Claude who heads the firm today. This highly illustrated history of Lalique celebrates the extraordinary jewelry and glass of Rene Lalique, and the glass of the Lalique company up to the present day.

Описание: Looking for a Scare? Then Read These 13 Spine-chilling StoriesAre you interested in real ghost stories? How about chilling tales involving haunted ships? By haunted ships, I don't mean ghost ships wandering abandoned seas (as disturbing as that may be), but something much more frightening: ships haunted by ghosts, some friendly and some, well, deadly. Within these pages you will read the fascinating true stories of haunted ships, including ships such as:
The Queen Mary, haunted by ghosts spanning the years from its days as a luxury cruise ship to its stress-filled years as a troop ship during war time.
The USS Hornet CV-12, which was the sight of numerous tragic deaths and just as many disturbing ghost sightings (including a patient whose been waiting a long time to see the ship's doctor).
The UB-65 German submarine, which has quite the list of fatal accidents before its assembly was even complete including the ghost of a deceased officer standing on its deck right before it peculiarly sank.
The Palatine, which was seen burning, but still sailing on the anniversary of its shipwreck many years after.
Discover the true stories about ghosts who tear the sheets of the beds of unsuspecting guests on a famous luxury liner, ghastly crew members tragically, and possibly maliciously, killed whose faces appear in waves beside the ship, and a lifeboat rowed by a literal skeleton crew. Learn about horrific accidents, rumored curses, and even exorcisms of seafaring vessels. Read about beautiful ghosts dressed to dance in one ship's former ballroom, officers in their dress whites still hard at work, wet footprints left behind by ghosts enjoying a swimming pool no longer present, and mischievous ghosts just wanting to have some fun at the expense of the living. Find out why you shouldn't take a modern cruise ship for granted for it might be haunted, and discover some ghosts are just trying to be helpful and comforting in their own, sometimes twisted, ways. You'll also find true stories of haunted beaches across the globe, including:
A beach in India next to a cremation ground where it seems tourists are drawn out into the water-and to their death.
A beach in Singapore that was the site of multiple mass civilian executions in World War II, a tragedy that has been reenacted multiple times by the spirits of those involved.
A stretch of beach in Canada haunted by a man who wasn't allowed to remain at rest in his chosen burial place by the sea.
What seems to be a deceptively family friendly beach in Texas-at least by day
Find out about the types of ghosts that choose to haunt beaches, including aggressive sailors, frightening mermaid-like creatures, and spirits whose presence can be felt even more powerfully than if they were physically present. Once you finished this book of true ghost stories involving ships and beaches, you might find yourself afraid to go near the water...again. Ready to scare yourself senseless?
