Vincent Van Gogh sometimes ate paint directly from the tube. Gustav Klimt allegedly fathered at least 40 illegitimate children.Edvard Munch's middle finger of his left hand got blown off by a gun in a tussle with a jilted former lover. Pablo Picasso did jail time for ripping off several statues from the Louvre. Georgia O'Keefe liked to paint in the nude. Salvador Dali concocted a perfume from dung to attract the attention of future wife Gala Eluard. Frida Kahlo loved to bathe her 300+ pound husband, Diego Rivera, in a tub filled with children's bath toys. Andy Warhol once guest-starred on TV's "The Love Boat".

Gary V. Smith: Hosea, Amos, Micah

Description

Scratch beneath the surface of today's culture and you'll find we're not so different from ancient Israel. True, our sophistication, mobility, and technology eclipse anything the Israelites could have imagined. Our worship is far different, to say nothing of our language and customs. Yet if the prophets Hosea, Amos, and Micah were to visit us today, we might be shocked to see how little their messages would differ from the ones they delivered 2,800 years ago. For human hearts are still the same--and so is God. Injustice, oppression, and political corruption anger him as much as ever. Apostasy still grieves him. His judgment of sin remains as fierce as his love is strong. And the hope God extends to those who turn toward him is as brilliant now as at any time in history. Revealing the links between Israel eight centuries B.C. and our own times, Gary V. Smith shows how the prophetic writings of Hosea, Amos, and Micah speak to us today with relevance and conviction.

Thomas de Quincey,Dr. Keith Carabine,David Ellis: Confessions of an English Opium-Eater

Description

With an Introduction and Notes by David Ellis, University of Kent at Canterbury. In the first part of this famous work, published in 1821 but then revised and expanded in 1856, De Quincey vividly describes a number of experiences during his boyhood which he implies laid the foundations for his later life of helpless drug addiction. The second part consists of his remarkable account of the pleasures and pains of opium, ostensibly offered as a muted apology for the course his life had taken but often reading like a celebration of it. The Confessions of an English Opium-Eater is thus both a classic of English autobiographical writing - the prose equivalent, in its own time, of Wordsworth's The Prelude or Growth of a Poet's Mind - and at the same time a crucial text in the long history of the Western World's ambivalent relationship with hard drugs. Full of psychological insight and colourful descriptive writing, it surprised and fascinated De Quincey's contemporaries and has continued to exert its powerful and eccentric appeal ever since.

Chapter 3: Key Speed Reading Techniques In concise and readable form, this generously illustrated volume takes a fresh approach to a most fascinating period in Egyptian history. It deals with such topics as the evolution of Akhenaten's ideology and the concepts surrounding the foundation, construction, and use of his innovative city and its unique palaces, temples, and houses. Egypt's empire, the role of its women, its relations with other nations of the ancient world, and the remarkable place both Akhenaten and Tutankhmun hold in history are also among other issues discussed. An epilogue recaps how Amarna's modern discovery helped solve the mysteries surrounding this city, its unique founder, and the aftermath of his revolution. On 12 May 2009 Confessions of an English Opium-Eater free ebook Margaret Evison's son Lieutenant Mark Evison of 1st Battalion, The Welsh Guards, died of wounds sustained whilst leading a patrol in Helmand Province. Hailed a hero, Mark's death was a national sacrifice, his grave to be one of many in the identical, ordered rows in a military cemetery. But to his mother Margaret it was the most intimate of griefs. In Death of a Soldier, she attempts to reconcile her own unanswerable sense of loss with the idea that her son died for a good cause. With her, we confront the horror of his death and witness her struggle to see epithets such as 'heroic' and 'noble' as more than a mask to hide that ugliness. Included in the book is Mark's diary, kept while he was in Afghanistan and delivered to Margaret at home some weeks later. Widely quoted since its discovery, it contains the thoughts of a sensitive young officer and serves as a poignant reminder of the terrible human cost of the war in Afghanistan. Death of a Soldier is an extraordinarily powerful tribute to Mark and a testament to Margaret's great love for him.

Jason: Low Moon

Description

The acclaimed graphic novelist Jason returns with his most eagerly awaited book yet, thanks to the inclusion of the title story, the world s first (and likely last) chess western, originally serialized in 2008 in the New York Times Sunday Magazine Funny Pages section.This 216-page hardcover book features five yarns all brand new with the exception of the aforementioned Low Moon, which is collected into book form for the first time.The new stories lead off with Emily Says Hello, a typically deadpan Jason tale of murder, revenge and sexual domination. Then, the wordless & tells two tales at once: one about a skinny guy trying to steal enough money to save his ill mother, and the other about a fat guy murderously trying to woo his true love. The reason we follow these two parallel stories becomes obvious only on the very last page, in Jason s inimitable genre-mashing style. Early Film Noir can best be described as The Postman Always Rings Twice meets Groundhog Day. But starring cavemen. And finally, You Are Here features alien kidnappings, space travel, and the pain and confusion of family ties, culminating in an enigmatic finale that rivals Jason s greatest twists.Funny, poignant, and wry, Low Moon shows one of the world s most acclaimed graphic novelists at the absolute peak of his powers."

Bette is a wronged soul; and when her passion does break, it is, as Balzac says, sublime and terrifying, wrote V. S. Pritchett. A late masterpiece in Balzac s "La Comedie Humaine, Cousin Bette" is the story of a Vosges peasant who rebels against her scornful upper-class relatives, skillfully turning their selfish obsessions against them. The novel exemplifies what Henry James described as Balzac s huge, all-compassing, all-desiring, all-devouring love of reality. " This comprehensive study of China's Cold War experience reveals the crucial role Beijing played in shaping the orientation of the global Cold War and the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. The success of China's Communist revolution in 1949 set the stage, Chen says. The Korean War, the Taiwan Strait crisis and the Vietnam War - all of which involved China as a central actor -represented the only major "hot" conflicts during Nudities download ebook pdf the Cold War period, making East Asia the main battlefield of the Cold War, while creating conditions to prevent the two superpowers from engaging in a direct military showdown. Beijing's split with Moscow and a rapprochement with Washington fundamentally transformed the international balance of power, argues Chen, eventually leading to the end of the Cold War with the collapse of the Soviet Empire and the decline of international communism. It is based on sources that include recently declassified Chinese documents, the book offers pathbreaking insights into the course and outcome of the Cold War.
