Sinopsis

In his seminal work 'The Stones of Venice', John Ruskin meticulously explores the architectural marvels of the historic city of Venice. Ruskin's rich prose and profound insights delve into the intricate details of Venetian architecture, from the Byzantine and Gothic styles to the influence of the Renaissance. His descriptive language transports the reader to the majestic canals and ornate palaces of Venice, capturing the essence of the city's unique beauty and history. This book is a captivating blend of art history, cultural analysis, and personal reflection, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of art and society in the 19th century. John Ruskin, a prominent art critic and social thinker of the Victorian era, was deeply inspired by the architectural wonders of Venice. His passionate admiration for the city led him to pen 'The Stones of Venice', a work that not only celebrates its architectural treasures but also serves as a profound meditation on the relationship between art, society, and morality. Ruskin's influence on the Arts and Crafts movement and his advocacy for the preservation of historic landmarks further underscore the significance of this book. I highly recommend 'The Stones of Venice' to readers who appreciate art, history, and cultural commentary. Ruskin's profound observations and eloquent writing style make this book a timeless masterpiece that continues to resonate with audiences today.

  • Small Broke and Kind of Dirty - Affirmations for the Real World - cover

    Small Broke and Kind of Dirty -...

    Let's get one thing straight: Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty: Affirmations for the Real World is not a book of advice. You're not going to find a step-by-step guide to meditation here, or even reminders to drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Those things are all good for you, but that's not what Hana Shafi wants to talk about.
    Instead, Small, Broke, and Kind of Dirty—built around art from Shafi's popular online affirmation series—focuses on our common and never-ending journey of self-discovery. It explores the ways in which the world can all too often wear us down, and reminds us to remember our worth, even when it's hard to do so. Drawing on her experience as a millennial woman of colour, and writing with humour and a healthy dose of irreverence, Shafi delves into body politics and pop culture, racism and feminism, friendship, and allyship. Through it all, she remains positive without being saccharine, and hopeful without being naive.
    So no, this is not an advice book: it's a call to action, one that asks us to remember that we are valid as we are—flaws and all—and to not let the bastards grind us down.

    Under the Dome - Politics Crisis...

    The domed US Capitol Building is recognized around the world as America's most iconic symbol, the forum for representative democracy, and the physical stage for the transfer of executive power. As the United States grew in size and complexity, the Capitol was built, rebuilt, enlarged, and extended many times under the direction of the few who have served as Architect of the Capitol. This official heads the agency dedicated to preserving and upgrading this magnificent structure, and all the buildings and grounds of Capitol Hill. 
     
     
     
    In Under the Dome, Alan Hantman, the Architect of the Capitol from 1997 to 2007, provides a personal account of how the Capitol works as a physical space; who runs it, how and why decisions are made about the security of the Capitol and the people who work there, and how politicians think about the Capitol Building. He also recounts security threats to the Capitol during his tenure—including the 1998 shooting murder of two police officers and the Capitol evacuation on 9/11 as a hijacked airplane approached—that underscore one of his greatest challenges as Architect. The tension between securing the Capitol and opening it to the public drove the design and construction under his direction of the Capitol Visitor Center, the largest expansion of the Capitol in its history, increasing its size by seventy percent.

    'Fantastic' – James O'Brien 
    The brilliant mind behind the Secret Tory presents 14 years of Tory rule – as told by William Shakespeare 
    'O, for a muse of fire that would ascend 
    The brightest heaven of pretention! 
    A kingdom for a stage, Tories to act, 
    Oligarchs to behold the swelling scene!’ 
    So begins The Tories: A Tragedy. In this brilliant new work of political satire, Henry Morris presents fourteen years of Conservative (mis)rule in the only form in which such misfortunes could be portrayed: as a Shakespearean play. 
    In five acts that take in five prime ministers, The Tories: A Tragedy is a captivatingly realised Jacobean tragedy, replete with Machiavellian manoeuvrings, hilarious mechanicals and poignant verse. Publishing in the shadow of the most significant election since the Tories came to power in 2010, this exhilarating, original book is an alternative history of a disastrous reign – a drama that will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies, and those who simply love to laugh at the Tory party. 
    With a keen eye for parodies and humor, Morris masterfully weaves ideologies of conservatism and liberalism into a theater of politics. His playwriting process, a performing art in itself, brings to life the parties and their top players in a non-fiction narrative that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. 
    For fans of Robert Jobson (Diana), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Richard Osman (The World Cup Of Everything), The Secret Barrister (Nothing But The Truth), and Tina Brown (The Palace Papers).
