Описание: "Only sixty candidates were to be selected from more than fifty thousand boys who had written the Qualifying examination. One hundred and twenty candidates who got the highest marks in the examination would be called for interview in Bombay out of which sixty unfortunate boys would have to return home.Two seats were booked for boys from Ceylon - Sri Lanka. Our state of Travancore - Cochin of those days, later named Kerala, had a quota of six cadets". In 1957, author Augustine Varghese was one of those boys chosen for a career in the Indian Merchant Marine. His life from the time of getting selected on the merchant training ship Dufferin covers his life through the ranks from apprenticeship as officer cadet, to getting certificates of competency, passing the final master (Foreign going) Certificate, working on merchant ships as junior officer, senior officer, and finally as master (captain). The ship Dufferin was named in honour of Lord Dufferin, who had been a highly respected viceroy of the British Government to India. After being chosen from those fifty thousand applicants so many years ago, the author says, "It was almost miraculous that I stepped on that ship." Here then is his exciting story of his life spent at sea.

Описание:

During the early Renaissance period (14th to 16th century AD), artists were at the forefront of redefining every aspect of human development, marking an unprecedented shift for human civilisation.

Their paintings were a clear break from the past in portraying Biblical stories. The Old Masters portrayed human predicament with unmatched intensity. Their subjects were endowed with movement, dynamism and emotion never before seen in earlier paintings.

Do Renaissance artists have a message for us today? How do we live differently in the light of their message?

These questions are the starting point for the author as he interprets the paintings in today's context. The book contains 30 paintings most of them from the Renaissance period. Every one of these paintings provides an important reflection that challenges you to live to the full and to live audaciously.
