A punch in the face of the puritanism and conservatism he raged against, My Life and Loves is the highly-charged, erotic autobiography of Frank Harris (1856-1931), an Irish writer and editor who founded Pearson's Magazine in the United States (1914-1918). When first published, the book elicited hostile criticism because of its blunt and frank detail of Harris's sexual exploits, beginning in his childhood. A biographer of Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare, Harris fought the U.S. government and postal service over the content of his publications - battles included in My Life and Loves along with Harris's blunt, colorful depictions of his sexual exploits with willing Victorian Age debutantes. My Life and Loves remains a landmark in erotic literature, as relevant and provocative today as it was when first privately printed in Paris. Product details Format ...

Often ranked as the greatest of Plato's many remarkable writings, this celebrated philosophical work of the fourth century B.C. contemplates the elements of an ideal state, serving as the forerunner for such other classics of political thought as Cicero's De Republica, St. Augustine's City of God, and Thomas More's Utopia. Written in the form of a dialog in which Socrates questions his students and fellow citizens, The Republic concerns itself chiefly with the question, "What is justice?" as well as Plato's theory of ideas and his conception of the philosopher's role in society. To explore the latter, he invents the allegory of the cave to illustrate his notion that ordinary men are like prisoners in a cave, observing only the shadows of things, while philosophers are those who venture outside the cave and see things as they really are, and whose task it is to return to the cave and tell the truth about what they have seen. This dynamic metaphor ...

This discussion resulted from a dialogue which began some seven years ago between a physicist who specializes in astrophysics, general relativity, and the foundations of quantum theory, and a student of cultural history who had done post-doctoral work in the history and philosophy of science. Both of us at that time were awaiting the results of some experiments being conducted under the direction of the physicist Alain Aspect at the University of Paris-South. ! The experiments were the last in a series designed to test some predictions based on a mathematical 2 theorem published in 1964 by John Bell. There was no expectation that the results of these experiments would provide the basis for developing new technologies. The questions which the experiments were designed to answer concerned the relation ship between physical reality and physical theory in the branch of physics known as quantum mechanics. Like most questions raised by physicists which lead to startling new insights, they we...

C'est en arrivant à Paris qu'elle rencontre Christophe Blain qui la fait rentrer à l'Atelier des Vosges, célèbre repère des grands noms de la bande dessinée d'aujourd'hui. Elle y croise David B. et lui raconte ses histoires de famille, d'ancetres émasculés, d'oncles suicidés, de coups de fouet, bref un certain quotidien de l'Iran contemporain. En entendant ces histoires, David B. lui demande ce qu'elle attend pour les raconter en bande dessinée... Dans ce premier épisode, Marjane retrace une partie de l'histoire de sa famille ainsi que ses dix premières années, jusqu'à la chute du régime du Shah et le début de la guerre avec l'Irak. On lève beaucoup le poing dans cet album. On y apprend le matérialisme dialectique, on y jette des pierres. Pas vraiment pour de rire : on entend aussi les balles siffler, on assiste aux derniers jours des condamnés, aux pressions physiques (im)modérées, à l'exil et aux choix dramatiques qui pl...

The first monograph on Andreas Horlitz's work over a quarter century covers an engaging richness of artistic strategies. After beginning as a prizewinning photographer, Horlitz turned to word-and-picture constructions, experiments with Xerox reproductions, and, recently, mirror-and-light works and architecturally related, site-specific projects. Throughout his career, language, either textual or scientific, has figured large--in one case as large as a six-story installation incorporating the sleep research of Alexander Borbely, who has recorded his daily activity patterns since 1982 using a monitor strapped permanently to his wrist. These immensely inventive images and structures are discussed in essays by Klaus Honnef, Irene Netta, Sibylle Omlin, Hans Scheurer and Stephan Trescher. Product details Format Har...

Erster umfassender Überblick über das weitgehend unbekannte figürliche Frühwerk von Lyonel Feininger - eine Welt voller Komik, Clownerie und Tragik. Lyonel Feininger gehört zu den populärsten Künstlern in Deutschland, die in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts die moderne Kunst prägten. In seinen Darstellungen von thüringischen Dorfkirchen und atmosphärisch aufgeladenen Ostseelandschaften entwickelte er ab 1911 eine eigenständige, vom französischen Kubismus beeinflusste Formensprache. Weitgehend unbekannt ist, dass der gebürtige Amerikaner in Deutschland zunächst als Karikaturist arbeitete und so zu frühem Ruhm gelangte. Aus diesen kommerziellen Zeichnungen entwickelte sich seit 1906 eine selbstständige Kunst, in der die Darstellung des Menschen die zentrale Rolle einnimmt - ein bedeutender Werkkomplex des späteren Bauhaus-Meisters, der in dieser Publikation erstmals präsentiert wird. In grotesken, manchmal tragikomischen Kompositionen stellt Feininger eine Welt dar, die ihren Urspr...

The beloved real-life story of a woman in the Alaskan wilderness, the children she taught, and the man she loved. "From the time I'd been a girl, I'd been thrilled with the idea of living on a frontier. So when I was offered the job of teaching school in a gold-mining settlement called Chicken, I accepted right away." Anne Hobbs was only nineteen in 1927 when she came to harsh and beautiful Alaska. Running a ramshackle schoolhouse would expose her to more than just the elements. After she allowed Native American children into her class and fell in love with a half-Inuit man, she would learn the meanings of prejudice and perseverance, irrational hatred and unconditional love. "People get as mean as the weather," she discovered, but they were also capable of great good. As told to Robert Specht, Anne Hobbs's true story has captivated generations of readers. Now this beautiful new edition is available to inspire many more. "The memoir reads like an o...
