Sinopse

In "Letters of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy from 1833 to 1847," readers are invited into the intimate world of one of the 19th century's most revered composers. This collection reveals Mendelssohn's artistic journey through his correspondence, highlighting his reflections on creative processes, his relationships with contemporaneous musicians, and his observations on the socio-cultural milieu of the time. Mendelssohn's epistolary style is both articulate and emotive, providing a vivid lens into his professional aspirations and personal struggles, thus situating his work within Romanticism's broader artistic tendencies. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, born in 1809 in a cultured Jewish family, was nourished by rich artistic influences that undoubtedly shaped his perspective. His travels across Europe, keen interest in literature, and engagement with various composers culminated in profound insights that he eloquently shared through his letters. These correspondences not only reflect his musical genius but also his passionate belief in the unifying power of music amid the throes of burgeoning nationalism. This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of music, culture, and history. It serves both as a testament to Mendelssohn's genius and as an accessible entry point for those wishing to grasp the complexities of the Romantic period's musical landscape. Delve into Mendelssohn's letters to experience the thoughts of a true luminary.

    Filled with stunning artwork, this biography of comics pioneer Jack Kirby by an artist who worked closely with him is “a treasure” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer). 
     
    “As a teenager, future television and comics writer [Mark] Evanier became an assistant to Jack Kirby, one of the foremost artists in the history of American comics. Kirby played a major role in shaping the superhero genre, not only through his innovative, dynamic artwork but through collaborating with Stan Lee to create classic Marvel characters like the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and the X-Men. Evanier has now written this magnificently illustrated biography of his mentor. Rather than employing the academic prose that one might expect from an art book, Evanier, a talented raconteur, tells Kirby’s life story in an informal, entertaining manner . . . he brings Kirby’s personality vividly alive: a child of the Great Depression, a creative visionary who struggled most of his life to support his family. The book recounts how Kirby was insufficiently appreciated by clueless corporate executives and close-minded comics professionals. But the stunning artwork in this book, taken from private collections, makes the case for Kirby’s genius. A landmark work, this is essential reading for comics fans and those who want to better understand the history of the comics medium—or those who just want to enjoy Kirby’s incredible artwork.” —Publishers Weekly

    When we think of Ludwig van Beethoven images of a stormy and passionate but tortured genius are brought to mind, alongside the transformative effect of his work on musical history. All of these things are true, but no artist lives in a vacuum, and even music that opens a portal onto 'the infinite realm of the spirit' has its wider context. Illustrated with music from each period, this enlightening life history tells us about Beethoven's place in society from his earlier career as a fine pianist, his life on the edge of the Napoleonic war, his professional triumphs and many romantic misfortunes, and that famous defiance of deafness and declaration that he would 'seize Fate by the throat'. The musical excerpts included the 'Pathétique' and 'Moonlight' Sonatas, 'Diabelli' Variations, Symphonies Nos. 2,3,6 and 9, 'Emperor' Concerto, Missa solemnis and Fidelio, among many others.

    "Sweet Dreams'' consists of 42 original poems with bedtime, sleep, and dreaming as their central themes.  The poems are traditional in form  and follow rhyme and meter, done in in the fashion of Robert Louis Stevenson’s century-old classic, A Child’s Garden of Verses.         Topics include moonlit nights, snowy days, dreams of dinosaurs in the bedroom, annoyance at a Key West rooster crowing all night, what it would be like to wake up as a worm, the oddness of a fever ailment, gazing at autumn leaves from a gently rocking hammock, the comforting protection of an unseen guardian angel, and fancies like "The Softest Bed'' in which a child envisions himself curling up, wrapping himself in his warm, bushy tail, and sleeping like a fox.         Started when Telander himself was sick in a bed many years ago and had begun writing the poems in his head, this  poetry collection spoken by the author is a work of caring for boys and girls who must make that ordinary yet complex and sometimes frightening transition from waking reality to the land of Nod.          Sweet Dreams will amuse, delight, intrigue, and above all soothe children of all ages before sleep.  It's soothing for adults, too, since all of us do, indeed, sleep.
