Download or read book Edward Burne Jones on Nature written by Liana De Girolami Cheney and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume studies some of Edward Burne-Jones’s paintings, focusing specifically on his approach to nature, both through his observations about the real, physical world and through his symbolic interpretations of earthly and celestial realms. Burne-Jones’s appreciation for natural formations grew from his interests in astronomy and geography, and was expanded by his aesthetic sensibility for physical and metaphysical beauty. His drawings and watercolors carefully recorded the physical world he saw around him. These studies provided the background for a collection of paintings about landscapes with flora and fauna, and ignited an artistic furor that inspired the imagery he used in his allegorical, fantasy, and dream cycles about forests, winding paths, and sweet briar roses. This study focuses on two main ideas: Burne-Jones’s concept of ideal and artificial or magical nature expressed and represented in his drawings and paintings, and the way in which he fused his scientific knowledge about nature with some of the symbolism in his paintings.

Download or read book Quicklet on C S Evans s The Sleeping Beauty written by Amber Larkins and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Originally written as an early fairy tale, this particular version of the story was written by Charles Seddon Evans, so that Arthur Rackham could illustrate it with silhouette drawings. It was published originally in 1919, and came with the companion tale Cinderella. It has since been reissued in Everyman’s Library. The author has lengthened the version of Sleeping Beauty written by Perrault, describing the feasts and discussing in detail the prince’s attempts to prevent the evil spell. However, this closely follows the version written by the Brothers Grimm, ostensibly to make the story less violent and more appealing to young readers and parents alike. MEET THE AUTHOR Amber Larkins graduated from George Mason University with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature in 2010. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The evil fairy cast a spell so that the princess would die on her fifteenth birthday by pricking her finger on the spindle of a spinning-wheel. The king drew his dagger to kill the fairy, but at that moment the youngest fairy stepped from behind the arras and bestowed her gift. She could not undo the curse, but she could soften it. Briar-Rose would fall into a deep sleep for one hundred years, after which a king’s son would come to awaken her. The king did his best to prevent the prophecy from occurring. He offered a great reward to any magician in the land who could break the spell. None of them could, but one wizard was wiser than the rest. He researched his secret books, consulted his oracle, and presented the solution: if there were no spinning wheels, then the princess would not be able to prick her finger on one. The king immediately decreed that all of the spinning wheels in the kingdom would be burned. As the years passed, Briar-Rose grew into a beautiful young woman with all of the virtues that the good fairies had given her. Her fifteenth birthday came, and all the kingdom was preparing for her party... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of more than 50 books--125 million copies in print--Clive Cussler is the current grandmaster of adventure literature. Dirk Pitt, the sea-loving protagonist of 22 of Cussler's novels, remains among the most popular and influential adventure series heroes of the past half-century. This first critical review of Cussler's work features an overview of Pitt and the supporting characters and other heroes, an examination of Cussler's themes and influences, a review of his most important adventures, such as Raise the Titanic! and Iceberg, and a look at adaptations of his work in other media. Cussler joins the pantheon of such as Rudyard Kipling, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Ian Fleming, and this overdue volume demonstrates that beneath Cussler's immense popularity lies a literary depth that well merits scholarly attention.
