His face is upturned towards the Almighty who points to the record of Job's righteousness laid at his feet. Three other "Sons of God" accompany Satan before the throne, two on his right hand and one on his left. In the margin, beneath, is a pastoral scene, with a shepherd (r). and a shepherdess (l.), folding their sheep. The design is overarched by a trellis-work of conventionalised vine stems, where divers kinds of birds roost and make their nests. High up at the sides, angels bend over a pinnacle of flame (r.) and a pillar of smoke (l.). At the top, the words, "The Angel of the Divine Presence" and (in Hebrew characters) "Jehovah is King" are inscribed above the figure of the Almighty. For the marginal verses see:--Dan. vii. 19; Job ii. 3; xix. 26; Is. lxiii. 16; Ps. xvii. 15; Job ii. 1. Mr F. W.

Paul Cézanne (1839-1906), whose work profoundly influenced modern art, is r evealed here in all his sensitivity and complexity. With over one hundred l etters to Zola and others, poems and photographs. "In this biography, admirable from beginning to end, Paul Cézanne is at las t brought convincingly to life... Gerstle Mack has produced a full-length p ortrait [...] likely to prove, all in all, the most sympathetic, unbiased a nd complete picture of the extraordinary 'hermit of Aix' that we shall ever have... to read Mr. Mack's beautifully coordinated narrative is sheer plea sure... With what amounts virtually to a novelist's grasp of the whole situ ation, Mr. Mack causes Cézanne's friends -- those who played in any measure a significant part in his life -- to come alive along with him... Gerstle Mack, in preparing this exceptionally fine biography of Cézanne, has assemb led the existing material, weighed it with discriminating judgment, and wov en the strands together to form a portrait that seems irradiated with truth ...the life of Paul Cézanne as reconstructed by Mr. Mack is extraordinarily full and satisfying. It is a deft, engrossing, revelatory piece of work." -- Edward Arden Jewell, The New York Times (October 13, 1935) "The best biography [of Paul Cézanne] in English." -- John Rewald, The Hist ory of Impressionism "A thorough, dependable biography... It will remain the one indispensable s ource for those who undertake to interpret the modern master." -- The Natio n "[Gerstle Mack] gives an excellent account of the impressionist movement... while his discussion of Cézanne's painting is always lucid." -- London Times Literary., Plunkett Lake Press, 2019, 2.5, Ithica, New York: Cornell University Press, 1990.

Michael Kammen examines how the distinctive American culture is the result of the dynamic interaction of the imported and the indigenous, showing how, during the years of colonization, some ideas and institutions were transferred virtually intact from Britain, while simultaneously others were being transformed in the New World. He helps the reader to see that unresolved contradictions in the American experience have created a national style, Puritanical and hedonistic, idealistic and materialistic, peace-loving and war-mongering--and that these opposing strands go back to the genesis of our history. 316 pages plus index.

A brilliant, semiautobiographical satirical novel from one of the foremost figures in twentieth-century Polish literature, now in a new English translation Considered by many to be among the greatest writers of the past hundred years, Polish novelist Witold Gombrowicz explores the modern predicament of exile and displacement in a disintegrating world in his acclaimed classic Trans-Atlantyk. Gombrowicz s most personal novel-and arguably his most iconoclastic-Trans-Atlantyk is written in the style of a gaweda, a tale told by the fireside in a language that originated in the seventeenth century. It recounts the often farcical adventures of a penniless young writer stranded in Argentina when the Nazis invade his homeland, and his subsequent adoption by the Polish embassy staff and emigre community. Based loosely on Gombrowicz s own experiences as an expatriate, Trans-Atlantyk is steeped in humor and sharply pointed satire, interlaced with dark visions of war and its horrors, that entreats the individual and society in general to rise above the suffocating constraints of nationalistic, sexual, and patriotic mores. The novels themes are universal and its execution ingenious-a masterwork of twentieth-century literary art from an author whom John Updike called one of the profoundest of the late moderns..

Vitus Jonassen Bering (1681-1741) is a towering figure in the history of exploration. In the course of two expeditions that consumed most of his adult life - and eventually led to his death - he journeyed from St. Petersburg to Siberia and ultimately to the norhtwest coast of North America. Along with the members of his expedition, Bering greatly expanded the Russian empire, pioneered the geography of the North Pacific Ocean, and laid the groundwork for Russian trade and settlement in the American West. In the first biography of Bering written in more than a century, Frost chronicles the life of this extraordinary explorer. Drawing on a wide range of new evidence - including personal letters and archaeological evidence derived from the recent discovery of BeringÕs grave site - the author reconstructs BeringÕs personality, his perilous voyages, and his uneasy relationship with the naturalist Georg Steller, unobtrusively guided the stranded expedition as Bering lay dying. A riveting narrative of adventure and disaster on the high seas, this biography is also a major contribution to the history of maritime exploration., English, Year2003, Illust. B/W20, Illust.
