Описание: This book focuses exclusively on masterful drawings, watercolors, and pastels from 19th-century France.
Spanning the period from Romanticism to Neo-Impressionism, this beautiful book reveals the extraordinary richness, diversity, and inventiveness that fueled a remarkably creative period of French drawing — called »the paper century« in the opening essay. Brilliant drawings by Degas, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin, and Seurat as well as by many of their peers allow for a close inspection of such key artistic movements as Realism, Impressionism, and the art of the Nabis and Symbolists. With some 150 color reproductions, this volume serves as a perfect introduction to the exquisite techniques and talents of artists whose work continues to inspire and amaze.

Описание: This work provides an intimate portrait of Tibet and its people as they make their pilgrimage through the wheel of life. The book offers lively and engaging,
intimate and bawdy, humorous, tragic, revealing and inspiring stories of the Tibetans and reveals their extraordinary perception of their everyday lives. Accord
ng to Tibetan belief, existence is an endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth.
This book traces that journey from birth and childhood to adolescence, marriage, midlife, old age
and death. We meet a woman who is married to four brothers and pregnant. She dreams of turquoise - a sure sign that the child in her belly will be a boy.
Ten-year-old Tulku
Ralo yawns as he sits on a grand throne blessing the reverent throng who flock to him; it is not easy being a god-child. The famous sleeping lama, Mindroling Rinpoche, who sleeps all
day not because he is tired but because he is an advanced practitioner of dream yoga, changes the world by transforming his inner world. The pilgrimage of a family to Lhasa takes
several years, for they cover the entire distance by prostrating the length of their bodies across the earth, surrendering to the primordial ground from which all Buddhas have
arisen.
All this is set against Tibet's beautiful mountain landscapes, as well as the ongoing struggle of the Tibetans to win independance from China.

Описание: In this fascinating new collection of essays, contemporary historians examine the ways earlier historians have framed, written, and "made" the Jewish past. Probing the ideology and methodology of their professional predecessors, American and Israeli historians offer new perspectives on some of the central figures of twentieth-century Jewish historiography, including Gershom Scholem, S. D. Goitein, Yitzhak Baer, Elias Bickermann, and Cecil Roth, as well as the Israeli "New Historians." Although the lives and work of these scholars differ in many ways, Jewish historians have recurrently confronted the challenges posed by assimilation, antisemitism, and various forms of nationalism. Through their critical examinations of the construction of the Jewish past, the contributors to this volume develop important insights into current attitudes toward the dominant canons and ideals of historical scholarship and the future of historiography. They shine new light on the formation of a historical worldview and the "making" of history.
