Sinopse

William Hogarth's 'The Analysis of Beauty' is a groundbreaking treatise that delves into the concept of beauty and aesthetics through the lens of art and design. Published in 1753, this innovative work challenges traditional notions of beauty by emphasizing the importance of variety, intricacy, and harmony in creating aesthetically pleasing compositions. Hogarth's unique blend of artistic theory and practical examples showcases his keen eye for detail and his deep understanding of the visual arts. His engaging and accessible writing style makes this book a must-read for art enthusiasts and scholars alike. The 'Analysis of Beauty' not only provides valuable insights into the creative process but also serves as a significant contribution to the discourse on aesthetics and visual culture in the 18th century. William Hogarth, a renowned English painter and engraver, was known for his satirical works and his role in establishing the British tradition of pictorial narrative. His background in the arts and his keen observational skills likely influenced the writing of this seminal work on beauty and design. For readers interested in exploring the philosophical underpinnings of artistic creation and the concept of beauty, this book is a highly recommended addition to their library.

    The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour.  Damon Runyon is acknowledged as one of the great writers to come out of twentieth century America.  Runyon's short stories are almost always told in the first person by a narrator who is never named, and whose role is unclear; he knows many gangsters and has no job that can be gleaned from his musings, nor does he admit to any criminal involvement; He’s a bystander, an observer, an average street-corner Joe.  Runyon described himself as "being known to one and all as a guy who is just around".  That line seems to say a lot about Runyon and his life.  It was like you were with him on some street corner hustle or some shady dive and he was filling you in on all the angles, all the gossip, all of life. He was who so many people wanted to be with……or so many people wanted to be.  Of course, the cliché about newspapermen and writers is that they are heavy drinkers, chain-smokers, gamblers and obsessively chase women with a sideline in the gathering of stories and facts and actually getting something written just before the deadline hits. That seems like Damon Runyon and his life summed up in one sentence.  His stories became legendary ways of looking that bit differently at America, of soaking up the atmosphere of a glamorous and rip-roaring age and distilling it into a black and white type or, in our case, The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour.

    "Whatever you are feeling, God can handle it--all of it. The tears, screams, and questions. God invites you to let Him tend to your heart." 
    In the bluegrass fields of Kentucky, Anne Wilson and her siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth, grew up in the security and love of their family--and Jesus. But when Jacob died in a car accident, Anne was thrust into a painful journey of grief and soul-wrestling that led to God calling her to create songs that glorified Him. 
    My Jesus weaves together Anne's personal story with an encouraging message to anyone longing for God to wipe away their tears. 
    No matter what season of life you're facing, My Jesus comes alongside you to:Show how God can bring purpose out of lossOffer hope in the midst of heartbreakRemind you that God never abandons you 
    Discover the beauty that can emerge from suffering as you read Anne's story of growing closer to the God who always makes a way. 
    Praise for My Jesus: 
    "I love how Anne Wilson invites us into the cracks and crevices of her life and how she built her life on Jesus. My Jesus is personal, and it takes you on a journey through some of the most foundational parts of Anne's life that develop into a large picture where it is so clear that God was the artist of it all. As I read through each page, I felt like I was at coffee with Anne, hearing her story." 
    --Sadie Robertson Huff, author, speaker, and founder of Live Original 
    "The song 'My Jesus' has impacted so many of our lives in such important ways. Reading this book, being in the moments with Anne and her family, and hearing her faith rise up when her heart was broken, Anne has told a true and deep story that we all need to read." 
    --Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun
