Beschreibung

In "Italian Renaissance," John Addington Symonds delves deep into the vibrant cultural and artistic movements that flourished in Italy from the 14th to the 16th centuries. This seminal work not only chronicles the era's key figures and their innovations but also explores the socio-political landscapes that nurtured such intellectual blossoming. Symonds employs a highly descriptive and engaging literary style, weaving together historical analysis and criticism with a lyrical narrative that bring the Renaissance's dynamic spirit to life. Through meticulous research, he crafts a comprehensive overview that situates the Italian Renaissance within broader European contexts, highlighting its enduring impact on art, philosophy, and science. John Addington Symonds was a well-regarded Victorian literary figure and scholar, deeply influenced by his passion for art and his experiences in Italy. His extensive education at the University of Oxford, along with his personal struggles for identity and expression in the restrictive Victorian society, informed his particular fascination with the Renaissance as a period that embraced individualism and creativity. Symonds's own arts-based pursuits and critical outlook led him to become a prominent advocate for the aesthetic and humanistic virtues of this extraordinary era. "Italian Renaissance" is essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of modern Western thought, art, and culture. Symonds's eloquent prose and insightful interpretations bring to light the significance of this transformative period. This book is a treasure trove for historians, art lovers, and general readers alike, encouraging them to appreciate the profound legacy of the Renaissance that continues to resonate today.

    Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899) Bonheur was the oldest of four artistic children born to the French landscape painter Raymond Bonheur. Rosa began sketching and sculpting animals at an early age and used her interest in animals to help her learn to read and write. She would sketch an animal for each letter of the alphabet and perfected her form by visiting butcher shops and cattle markets in Paris to achieve anatomically correct likenesses. Her 1853 masterpiece, The Horse Fair, brought her worldwide recognition, and she was the first female artist to be awarded the cross of the Legion of Honour in France. She retired at the edge of the Fontainbleu Forest with a menagerie that included gazelles, lions and other exotic animals.

    War Is a Racket is Marine General Smedley Butler's classic treatise on why wars are conducted, who profits from them, and who pays the price. Few people are as qualified as General Butler to advance the argument encapsulated in his book's sensational title. When War Is a Racket was first published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of his time. He had led several successful military operations in the Caribbean and in Central America, as well as in Europe during the First World War. Despite his success and his heroic status, however, Butler came away from these experiences with a deeply troubled view of both the purpose and the results of warfare.
