Download or read book Zaragu written by Juan Carden and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-08-24 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zaragua is the first book of a ten-novel saga which takes place over the course of the one thousand years and involves protagonists that are born, live and die without ever ceasing to be immortal. In 1942 Juan and Manuel come to the New World with Christopher Columbus but immediately leave the conquistadors to find love in the Caribbean and dedicate their lives to saving the civilizations on the extraordinary continent that offers them the passion Europe was never able to. The second part of this historical novel recounts the epic story of Juan and Hernn, two brothers who come to the Yucatan Peninsula in search of their destinies but who set off in very different directions. The elder, together with his native wife, tries to stop the catechization and annihilation of the Indians, while the younger only seeks power and fame. Through the narration their passion, ambition, filial love and psychological conflicts become evident, as do the differences in the protagonists personalities and emotions. The main character is immortal who is born in every life in a different body retaining their cognitive ability. His destiny is to find his companion that was created with him at the beginning of time and also to help the dispossessed. Zaragu developed in America during the first period of the colonization. The characters live and dream in a different world, where nothing is as it was in Europe, trying to create a society where their offspring will not face every day war, domination and abuse. But love, poetry and fantasy are those who succeed and give character to the characters. The protagonist is the older brother of Hernn Corts, who is separated at an early age. While the youngest try to conquer an empire, the oldest tries to protect the natives and carry the "New World" to a different course. In this novel we relive the history of a brutal century, bright and wild, where passions overflow when hitting two civilizations with different moral precepts, dissimilar technology, superficially antagonistic religions and customs. In each chapter there is a new adventure, a new dilemma, a new anguish and new hope. In covering the story we realize that genius is dormant in every culture, needing a little encouragement to be awakened. We learn that what is ethical for one is immoral to another. We realize that in our distant past we were all wild, idolaters, cannibals, idealistic, martyrs and executioners.

Download or read book Pigeon Feathers written by John Updike and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When this classic collection of stories first appeared—in 1962, on the author’s thirtieth birthday—Arthur Mizener wrote in The New York Times Book Review: “Updike is a romantic [and] like all American romantics, that is, he has an irresistible impulse to go in memory home again in order to find himself. . . . The precise recollection of his own family-love, parental and marital, is vital to him; it is the matter in which the saving truth is incarnate. . . . Pigeon Feathers is not just a book of very brilliant short stories; it is a demonstration of how the most gifted writer of his generation is coming to maturity; it shows us that Mr. Updike’s fine verbal talent is no longer pirouetting, however gracefully, out of a simple delight in motion, but is beginning to serve his deepest insight.”

Download or read book Pigments written by Barbara H. Berrie and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise illustrated history of one of art's most important and elusive elements Over the millennia, humans have used pigments to decorate, narrate, and instruct. Charred bone, ground earth, stones, bugs, and blood were the first pigments. New pigments were manufactured by simple processes such as corrosion and calcination until the Industrial Revolution introduced colors outside the spectrum of the natural world. Pigments brings together leading art historians and conservators to trace the history of the materials used to create color and their invention across diverse cultures and time periods. This richly illustrated book features incisive historical essays and case studies that shed light on the many forms of pigments--the organic and inorganic; the edible and the toxic; and those that are more precious than gold. It shows how pigments were as central to the earliest art forms and global trade networks as they are to commerce, ornamentation, and artistic expression today. The book reveals the innate instability and mutability of most pigments and discusses how few artworks or objects look as they did when they were first created. From cave paintings to contemporary art, Pigments demonstrates how a material understanding of color opens new perspectives on visual culture and the history of art.
