Book excerpt: An “absorbing and fast-moving” saga of Korea as experienced by one unforgettable family, from the Nobel Prize–winning author of The Good Earth (The New York Times). “The year was 4214 after Tangun of Korea, and 1881 after Jesus of Judea.” So begins Pearl S. Buck’s The Living Reed, an epic historical novel seen through the eyes of four generations of Korean aristocracy. As the chronicle begins, the Kims are living comfortably as advisors to the Korean royal family. But that world is torn apart with the Japanese invasion, when the queen is killed and the Kims are thrust into hiding. Through their story, Buck traces the country’s journey from the late nineteenth century through the end of the Second World War. “The Korean people come hauntingly alive,” wrote the Journal of Asian Studies about The Living Reed. “The remarkable novels of Pearl S. Buck have given the world an awakened understanding and appreciation of the Chinese people, and now she has wrought a like marvel for Korea.” A New York Times bestseller, The Living Reed is an enlightening account of a nation’s fight for survival and a gripping tale of a family caught in the ebb and flow of history. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S. Buck including rare images from the author’s estate.

Book excerpt: Presented in conjunction with the September 2000 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum, this volume presents the complex story of the proliferation of the arts in New York and the evolution of an increasingly discerning audience for those arts during the antebellum period. Thirteen essays by noted specialists bring new research and insights to bear on a broad range of subjects that offer both historical and cultural contexts and explore the city's development as a nexus for the marketing and display of art, as well as private collecting; landscape painting viewed against the background of tourism; new departures in sculpture, architecture, and printmaking; the birth of photography; New York as a fashion center; shopping for home decorations; changing styles in furniture; and the evolution of the ceramics, glass, and silver industries. The 300-plus works in the exhibition and comparative material are extensively illustrated in color and bandw. Oversize: 9.25x12.25". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
Download or read book Dal in the Third Dimension written by Stratton Foundation and published by Allemandi. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an in-depth study of the three-dimensional works of the great Catalan artist Salvador Dalí. It presents the dreams of a collector, Mr Beniamino Levi, who created the Stratton Foundation Collection, the most important of its kind, and depicts one man's quest to bring these works of art to the notice of the public. Mr Levi, President of the Stratton Foundation, met Salvador Dalí for the first time more than forty years ago. As a major collector and gallery owner specialising in Surrealism, he was immediately fascinated by Dalí's sculptural work and realised that this aspect of the artist's oeuvre was not known to the world at large. After a life dedicated to collecting and locating Dalí's works, he has assembled an extraordinary collection of sculptural works that he has toured worldwide, thus doing much to promote awareness of a major aspect of Dalí's creative genius. Today, the Collection is internationally renowned, having been seen by more than ten million people around the world and exhibited in over eighty prestigious museums and locations, including the Espace Dalí in Paris, which houses the only permanent exhibition of Dalí's works in France.
