Frondes Agrestes: Readings in 'Modern Painters'

John Ruskin

Sinopse

In "Frondes Agrestes: Readings in 'Modern Painters,'" John Ruskin offers an intricate exploration of the intersection between nature and art, delving deep into the philosophical and aesthetic principles that underpin his renowned work, "Modern Painters." Ruskin's masterful prose combines lyrical beauty with analytical rigor, reflecting the Romantic ideals of the era while engaging with the emerging modernist sensibilities. Through critical readings, Ruskin addresses the moral and spiritual dimensions of landscape painting, emphasizing the importance of fidelity to nature and the artist's emotional response. His treatise is both a manifesto and a critique, cleverly dissecting the implications of artistic representation in a rapidly industrializing world. John Ruskin (1819-1900), a Victorian polymath and social thinker, was profoundly influenced by his early experiences in the English countryside and his intensive studies in the visual arts. His extensive travels throughout Europe and his deep engagement with both literature and philosophy shaped his distinctive views on art and society. An impassioned advocate for the moral role of art, Ruskin believed in the transformative power of beauty, which permeates his writing, pushing against the constraints imposed by the industrial revolution and fostering a renewed appreciation for nature. "Frondes Agrestes" is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of art criticism and ecological perspectives in literature. It challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between nature and artistic expression while contextualizing Ruskin's profound influence on both art history and environmental thought. This book resonates with contemporary debates about sustainability and aesthetic responsibility, making it a timely reflection for modern audiences.

Just how does an ordinary Saturday morning lead to an unexpected adventure of mysterious cave exploring? The fact that a beautiful creature is living all alone in such cold temperatures is intriguing, and so are those motionless objects…. Rapping, knocking, tapping, clapping, stomping – not to mention booming beats, spooky silence, eerie echoes, windy whistling, strange shadows and objects – all give this cave a creepy feel.

Anatomy of 55 More Songs - The...

Marc Myers

Songs that sell the most copies become hits, but some of those hits become something more—iconic recordings that not only inspire a generation but also change the direction of music. In Anatomy of 55 More Songs, based on his column for the Wall Street Journal, music journalist and historian Marc Myers tells the story behind fifty-five rock, pop, R&B, country, and soul-gospel hits through intimate interviews with the artists who wrote and recorded them. 
 
 
 
Part oral history, part musical analysis, Anatomy of 55 More Songs ranges from Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" to Dionne Warwick's "Walk On By," The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations," and Black Sabbath's "Paranoid." Bernie Taupin recalls how he wrote the lyrics to Elton John's "Rocket Man;" Joan Jett remembers channeling her rage against how she had been unfairly labeled and treated as a female rocker into "Bad Reputation;" and Ozzy Osbourne, Elvis Costello, Bob Weir, Sheryl Crow, Alice Cooper, Roberta Flack, John Mellencamp, Keith Richards, Carly Simon, and many others reveal the emotions and technique behind their major works. 
 
  
 
Through an absorbing chronological, song-by-song analysis of the most memorable post-war hits, Anatomy of 55 More Songs provides a sweeping look at the evolution of pop music between 1964 and today.

Screams & Nightmares - The Films...

Brian J. Robb

“From the seminal Last House on the Left to Scream 2 . . . Robb’s concoction is entertaining and informative about a recognized cinematic auteur.” —Booklist Writer, producer, and director Wes Craven has successfully tapped into the horror vein for over forty years, serving up scary, funny, cutting-edge thrillers that have become classics in the genre. His films have been both critical and commercial successes, most notably Nightmare on Elm Street, which spawned a series of sequels and made Craven (and his creation, Freddy Kruger) an international sensation. He then created a second indelible series in the horror movie trope with Scream. In Screams & Nightmares, Brian J. Robb examines Craven’s entire career, from his low-budget beginnings to his most recent box office hits, from the banned thriller The Last House on the Left and the cult classic The Hills Have Eyes to the outrageous Shocker and The People Under the Stairs. Through exclusive interviews with Craven, Robb provides in-depth accounts of the making of each of the films—including the final installments of the Scream series—Craven’s foray into writing novels, and his numerous television projects. “Dripping with fascinating details . . . this is a treat.” —The Washington Post “A remarkably addictive and easy-to-read guide to Craven’s work, piling in juicy snippets and lesser-known background . . . a comprehensive picture of Craven and his output.” —Sci-Fi Bulletin “Definitive . . . info-packed and exceptionally well written . . . there is no writer better qualified to chronicle the life and work of a remarkable talent.” —The Dark Side
