Synopsis

A Czech painter, illustrator and graphic artist, Alphonse Mucha is a major exponent of the Art Nouveau style, best known for his distinctly stylised and decorative theatrical posters and advertisements of idealised female figures. His unique and groundbreaking poster designs are among the best-known images of the Belle Époque period. In the latter stages of his career, he returned to his homeland and devoted himself to a series of twenty monumental history paintings, known as ‘The Slav Epic’, depicting the history of all the Slavic peoples of the world. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Mucha’s collected artworks, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    Horror can be a valuable conversation partner for the spiritual questions that animate so many of us. 
     
     
     
    Whether through a movie, television show, novel, or even myth, horror as a genre has always spoken to our deepest human fears and anxieties: fear of death, of the unknown, of knowing too much. Whether you're looking at classic narratives like Frankenstein, or contemporary films like Get Out, which explores racism and white guilt, horror provides a window into our culture and what makes us human. The same can be said of religion. 
     
     
     
    Horror movie buff and religion scholar Brandon Grafius finds common ground between these two seemingly disparate bedfellows—horror and religion—in Lurking under the Surface. What parallels can we draw between The Walking Dead and sacred texts? How do the stories of Hebrew Christian scriptures and apocalyptic films like A Quiet Place and Bird Box help us find hope when it's in short supply? When we treat them both seriously, we see that horror movies and religion lead us through the same sets of questions. Both explore questions of justice, hope, and our relationship to the world and the cosmos. And both offer us ways to make meaning out of the contradictory pieces of our world—a world filled with so much hope and so many recognizable fears lurking just beneath the surface.

    Art History Volume 1 - Ancient Art

    The first volume of Élie Faure’s series History of Art takes the listener on a breathtaking journey to the origins of human imagination. This book traces the birth of the human gaze — from the Paleolithic caves to the colossal statues of Egypt, from Assyria’s winged bulls to the sunlit temples of Greece, and ultimately to Rome, the genius of stone and roads.   
    As a poetic storyteller and visionary historian, Faure reveals that works of art are never mere decoration, but living systems of forces, where form unites with function and idea becomes flesh — art as a common language, the breath of peoples, the memory of the world.   
    The reader moves through caves alive with bison, sun-baked pylons, friezes depicting Panathenaic processions, and Roman arenas where architecture becomes pure will — every page is a scene, every civilization a breath. This book/audiobook offers a sensitive and intellectual key to “see” more clearly: to understand, to love, to compare; to feel the secret correspondences between science, morality, and beauty — up to the Greek moment when man seems to harmonize nature and spirit. A lucid, lyrical epic that dazzles the mind and stirs the irresistible desire to listen further.
