  Art History Volume 1 - Ancient Art

  Elie Faure

  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.

  NO RULES. NO PROBLEM. 
   
   
   
  Bruce Lee remains the gold standard that all martial artists are compared to. But could he actually fight? World Champions in karate competition have gone on record to point out that he never once competed in tournaments. Were his martial abilities merely a trick of the camera? 
   
   
   
  For the first time ever, Bruce Lee authority and bestselling author John Little takes a hard look at Bruce Lee's real-life fights to definitively answer these questions with over thirty years of research that took him thousands of miles. Little has tracked down over thirty witnesses to the real fights of Bruce Lee as well as those who were present at his many sparring sessions (in which he was never defeated) against the very best martial artists in the world. 
   
   
   
  From the mean streets of Hong Kong, to challenge matches in Seattle and Oakland, to the sets of his iconic films where he was challenged repeatedly, this is the incredible real-life fighting record of the man known as the "Little Dragon," who may well have been the greatest fighter of the twentieth century.

  Accordion Eulogies - A Memoir of...

  Searching, propulsive, and deeply spiritual, Accordion Eulogies is an odyssey to repair a severed family lineage, told through the surprising history of a musical instrument 
   
   
   
  Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez never knew his grandfather. Stories swirled around this mythologized, larger-than-life figure: That he had abandoned his family, and had possibly done something awful that put a curse on his descendants. About his grandfather, young Noé was sure of only one thing: That he had played the accordion. Now an adult, reckoning with the legacy of silence surrounding his family's migration from Mexico, Álvarez resolves both to take up the instrument and to journey into Mexico to discover the grandfather he never knew. 
   
   
   
  Álvarez travels across the US with his accordion, meeting makers and players in cities that range from San Antonio to Boston. He uncovers the story of an instrument that's been central to classic American genres, but also played a critical role in indigenous Mexican history. Like the accordion itself, Álvarez feels trapped between his roots in Mexico and the US. As he tries to make sense of his place in the world—as a father, a son, a musician—he gets closer to uncovering the mystery of his origins.
