Book excerpt: Vast legions of gods, mages, humans, dragons and all manner of creatures play out the fate of the Malazan Empire in this first book in a major epic fantasy series from Steven Erikson. The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting and bloody confrontations with the formidable Anomander Rake and his Tiste Andii, ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen's rule remains absolute, enforced by her dread Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, surviving cadre mage of the Second Legion, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities of Genabackis, yet holds out. It is to this ancient citadel that Laseen turns her predatory gaze. However, it would appear that the Empire is not alone in this great game. Sinister, shadowbound forces are gathering as the gods themselves prepare to play their hand... Conceived and written on a panoramic scale, Gardens of the Moon is epic fantasy of the highest order--an enthralling adventure by an outstanding new voice. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book The Art of Fantasy written by S. Elizabeth and published by Frances Lincoln. This book was released on 2023-09-07 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful, fully illustrated book presents a compendium of artworks throughout history which have been inspired by myth, fantasy and the unreal. Artists have explored imaginary worlds and fantastical creatures for centuries, expressing the unreal and impossible, the mystical and mythical, via the medium of paint. But what draws them to the imaginary, the uncharted and the unknown? Is it merely an escape from reality? Or are they seeking a greater understanding of the human experience, or perhaps the very meaning of life itself? With myriad styles and methods of expression, what links artists through the ages? And how have these visual flights of fancy and imagination changed over the course of time? The Art of Fantasy is a visual sourcebook of all that is fantastical – from fine art to illustration, and from surrealists and symbolists to the creatives working in undefined territories. While the artists in our history books (Blake, Goya, Dali, Magritte, Ernst) first brought fantasy art to the galleries, it was the twentieth century artists who brought it to the masses. It is in this book that, for the first time, they are united and equally weighted, presenting a mesmerising and thoughtful curation of the best fantasy artwork out there. This is an inspiring collection for fans of myth, magic, fantasy and art history.

Download or read book Adventures of a Young Sculptor written by Eugene F. Fairbanks and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adventures of a Young Sculptor explores the early life of Avard T. Fairbanks, including the development of his professional career as a sculptor. Fairbanks was at that cusp of civilizations and artistic philosophies that saw modernism competing with realism, war overriding peace. He worked continually to promote realistic sculpture and peace. Fairbanks was born into a family of 17th century immigrants to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. His maternal grandfather invented a pin machine, which made child labor obsolete in that industry (much to the chagrin of some). His father and eldest brother were fine artists and teachers. At 13, Avard was awarded a scholarship in New York City for studies at the Art Students League. He was doing copy work at the Metropolitan Museum and developing animal sculptures at the Bronx Zoo. His father then took him to Paris to study at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts with masters of fine sculpture. At the start of WWI they were able to escape on the last train out of Paris. Fairbanks finished his high school studies back in Utah. At 16, he was an artist employed on the University of Utah archaeological expedition into southern Utah to the Natural Bridges area, to establish information about the ancient cliff dwelling tribes' culture and habitat. At 19, he and his eldest brother created the sculptures for the LDS Hawaiian Temple. After WWI he began his career in earnest by promoting and modeling the Idaho Doughboy monument. He continued his studies and teaching career in Oregon, and then studied in Italy on a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1929 he was appointed to the faculty of the University of Michigan in the newly established Institute of Fine Art. He was instrumental in showing how sculptural methods could refine automobile body design. His early career as a sculptor and educator is described herein, with an Afterword detailing his many later accomplishments. This book joins the collection of eight books based on his artistic work, authored by his son Eugene F. Fairbanks.
