Summary

In "Hunting Dogs" by Oliver Hartley, the reader is taken on a journey through the obscure world of underground dog fighting in rural America. Hartley's gritty and raw writing style brings to light the brutality and desperation of the characters involved in this illegal and inhumane sport. The book seamlessly blends elements of crime fiction with a social commentary on the ethical treatment of animals, leaving the reader questioning the depths of human depravity. Hartley's writing is reminiscent of Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" with its unflinching look at a dark and hidden subculture. The vivid imagery and vivid characterizations make "Hunting Dogs" a gripping and unsettling read that will stay with the reader long after finishing the last page. Oliver Hartley's background as a journalist covering crime and animal rights issues provides insight into the motivations behind writing a book that exposes the harsh realities of dog fighting. The author's dedication to shedding light on such a controversial topic makes "Hunting Dogs" a must-read for those interested in thought-provoking and impactful literature.

    The English school of painting was officially recognised at the beginning of the 18th century through the work of William Hogarth. It includes works by the most famous English artists, such as Thomas Gainsborough, Joseph Mallord William Turner, John Constable, Edward Burne-Jones, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. This subject is introduced with a very unique text, published in 1882: a French study of English pictorial art. The author, Ernest Chesneau, was highly-cultured, an art historian and inspector of Fine Arts. He explains the beginnings of this school which excels in portraiture and landscapes, and reminds us of the English brilliance regarding watercolours, not forgetting to include the work of the Pre-Raphaelites.
