Download or read book Faceless written by David Douglas Duncan and published by Editions Assouline. This book was released on 2000 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He has been called "the phantom of photography", but he sees himself as a "nonviolent anarchist" with a Leica, film and geometric vision. Henri Cartier-Bresson, the most acclaimed candid photographer in the world, is revered as a demigod by legions of miniature-camera enthusiasts, who have almost never seen a picture of him. After half a century of shooting everybody, everywhere, he has remained the photographer without a face until now. In May 2000, while on assignment chronicling camera old-timers, Cartier-Bresson decided to shoot his subject, friend and colleague David Douglas Duncan at the Picasso museum in Paris. Upon arriving at the shoot, Duncan seized a rare opportunity. He borrowed his wife’s zoom-lens camera and asked Cartier-Bresson for a roll of film. Then, without a word between them, Duncan began to photograph Cartier-Bresson. Duncan fully realized the outstanding nature of these images and decided to turn them into a tribute to a master of photography. This book captures the true essence of portraiture and is sure to become a classic of its genre - a one-of-a-kind portrait of a photographer and a lesson of spontaneity in portrait photography.

Book excerpt: Newbery Honor winner Kathryn Lasky, author of the Guardians of Ga’hoole series, delivers a riveting adventure about young British spies on a secret mission in Germany in WWII. “Fascinating and riveting, especially for history buffs and spy aficionados.” —Kirkus “A page-turner, particularly for readers intrigued by WWII.” —Booklist “With a well-detailed historical backdrop and a puzzling familial mystery, this novel delivers intrigue.” —Publishers Weekly Over the centuries, a small clan of spies called the Tabula Rasa has worked ceaselessly to fight oppression. They can pass unseen through enemy lines and “become” other people without being recognized. They are, essentially, faceless. Alice and Louise Winfield are sisters and spies in the Tabula Rasa. They’re growing up in wartime England, where the threat of Nazi occupation is ever near. But Louise wants to live an ordinary life and leaves the agency. Now, as Alice faces her most dangerous assignment yet, she fears discovery, but, most of all, she fears losing her own sister. This upper middle grade novel is a mix of espionage and historical adventure and will appeal to fans of Elizabeth Wein and Ruta Sepetys. Lasky masterfully spins a tale filled with mystery, suspense, and intrigue that will have readers hooked. Faceless is also a springboard for the study of Word War II, with special interest to classrooms that would like to teach subjects such as Hitler, the Nazi regime, and anti-Nazi resistance.

Download or read book Digital Legend and Belief written by Andrew Peck and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internet brings new urgency to the study of folklore. The digital networks we use every day amplify the capacity of legends to spread swiftly, define threats, and inform action. Using the case of a particularly popular digital bogeyman known as the Slender Man, Andrew Peck brings the study of legends into the twenty-first century. Peck explains not only how legends circulate in the digital swirl of the internet but also how the internet affects how legends seep into our offline lives and into the mass media we consume. What happens, he asks, when legends go online? How does the internet enable the creation of new legends? How do these ideas go viral? How do tradition and technology interact to construct collaborative beliefs? Peck argues that the story of the Slender Man is really a story about the changing nature of belief in the age of the internet. Widely adopted digital technologies, from smartphones to social media, offer vast potential for extending traditional and expressive social behaviors in new ways. As such, understanding the online landscape of contemporary folklore is crucial for grasping the formation and circulation of belief in the digital age. Ultimately, Peck argues that advancing our comprehension of legends online can help us better understand how similar belief genres—like fake news, conspiracy theories, hoaxes, rumors, meme culture, and anti-expert movements—are enabled by digital media.

Download or read book The Legend of Justice and Diamonds written by Louis F. Hemsey and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-01-13 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Legend of Justice and Diamonds is finally revealed as chronicled through the recorded visions of The Creator's scribe, Acellus, the first angelic being created. His scrolls take us back into the past where future began, into an alternate reality during the sixth year reign of the first evil King who cared for none. This is the time of the first Earth, before the Earth as it is now; before the Creator fashioned angelic beings as we presently know them. It was during that time that the eternal struggle between good and evil actually began. From the void, the visions of Acellus detail two realms and yet a third: The Forest of Cards, where mankind's virtues reside; the earthly realm, under the evil dynasty of the King of Clubs; and the curious third realm, that of THE KEEPERS: the diviners of the cards. All the forces of Darkness and Light, both in the flesh and in spirit, are centered on two beings that would shape mankind and the second Earth to come: The Lady Justice and The Jack Of Diamonds. She was the moral virtue born from The Forest of Cards, and he the infamous outlaw, first-born of the King of Clubs-thought to have been murdered as an infant. Through their incredulous, impassioned trials, hidden through the ages and now revealed, we find out who and what we really are, and more importantly, who and what we are not. Louis Hemsey is a Screenwriter, Film Composer, Director, and Producer. He is a graduate of The Mannes College of Music in New York City. Currently, he is in pre-production for his independent film: Matter of Honor. Visit him at www.louhemsey.com and HEntertainmentinc.com

Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1967, examines the foundations and the substance of the Montgomery Legend. His appearance upon the scene in the Western Desert coincided with a change in warfare as ‘ironmongery replaced generalship’, as General Fuller observed, and with Montgomery’s victories came a British need for a Champion for all to see. The public needed a Hero as Britain’s time on the ropes ended, and it was also politically necessary, lest Britain be swamped by the power of its allies.
