Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Arts for Old and Young The custom of giving presents at Christmas originated in Germany. It was derived from the ancient feast of Sol. The children of many Americans, who remember Christmas, hang up their stockings Christmas Eve, think ing Santa Claus will come in the night and fill them with gifts. Some, to avoid being roused at too early an hour, have taken a large bag, as a receptacle for pres ents, and the father or mother of the family in due time distribute the presents. Others have had a table spread with their gifts of love, or place their gifts carefully under the breakfast plates, or on the chairs at the table. But the German custom of Christmas trees is by far the most desirable. We wish it was universal here. The writer of this assisted in preparing almost the first tree in our portion of New England, but since then the Christ mas tree has spread far and wide a tree more productive of pleasure and fun was never before planted.

We wish we possessed an abler pen, that would induce every family in the land, rich or poor, to celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who gave his life for us. Even if some learned men think the twenty-fifth of December is not the day Christ was born, what does it concern us? We know Christ brought love and charity into the world, therefore in gratitude we should celebrate his birth; the exact period is of but little consequence. Seldon informs us that the Christian church, desirous of abolishing the Saturnalia of the Romans, a festival instituted in honor of Saturn, appointed a festival in honor of her Divine Master, Jesus Christ, to supersede it. But the observance of the day did not become general until about the year 500. The reason why the evening before Christmas day is celebrated, is, that in the primitive church the day was always observed as the Sabbath, and like it, preceded by an eve, or vigil.

Download or read book The Art of the Reprint written by Rosalind Parry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of the Reprint is a vivid and engaging history of the nineteenth-century novel as it was re-imagined for everyday readers by four extraordinary twentieth-century illustrators. It focuses especially on four reprints: a 1929 edition of Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native (1878) with engravings by Clare Leighton, a 1930 edition of Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851) with images by Rockwell Kent, a 1943 edition of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (1847) with woodblocks by Fritz Eichenberg, and a complete set of Jane Austen's novels (1786-1817) illustrated from 1957 to 1974 by Joan Hassall. Taken together, these reprints are indicative of a legacy crafted from historical distance, through personal, political, and artistic circumstance, and for a new century. With biographical, archival, and art- and literary-historical sources as well as close readings of images and texts, this is a richly illustrated account of how artists reinvent canons for the general reader.

If little boys joined them, they were their playmates, and no more. They always took their dolls, and after playing Simple games they would resort to them as their chief amuse ment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Aims and Values in Domestic Art, Vol. 7: One of the New Subjects in Our School Curriculum The familiar proverb, "There is nothing new under the sun," may be true from some points of view, but when we remember the schools as we knew them in the first years of our school life, when reading consisted of repeating the alphabet or of reading such inspiring stories as, "Do we go up? We do go up. Do we go in? We do go in," when spelling began with a-b ab, e-b eb, i-b ib, o-b ob, when to draw a picture was an offense worthy of punishment, when the work in the upper grades was of this same abstract nature, when we compare such a school with the best schools of today we realize that there is something new in the schools at least. In fact, there is much in them that is new. Domestic Art is part of this new element. Its introduction into the schools of today, along with drawing, manual training, domestic science and the rest, is the result of new needs and ideals in the educational world, brought about largely by changes in the economic and social world. These changes have found expression along two distinct lines-an ever increasing demand for universal education, for equality of opportunity, and an ever growing belief in the principle of development through participation-learning through doing. Psychologists agree that a very much larger per cent of children and young people are concrete thinkers and persons of action than abstract thinkers. That is, a much larger per cent learn naturally by studying things, actually seeing and handling them, and performing processes with them, than by studying about things. We do not need, however, to depend upon psychologists for a realization of the truth of this statement; we have only to consult our own experience to know that it is true. Descriptions, pictures, explanations, will all contribute to the understanding of a process, to the forming of a mental picture of places or conditions. But they fail to give the clear, intimate understanding that we gain by seeing, doing and experiencing. The natural way to learn is by coming in contact with real things, by performing real processes, by having experience, and then supplementing what we have learned by the experience and ideas of others as recorded in books, in works of art, etc. Our school work in the past has concerned itself too largely with abstract work, idea study. Students have been informed about many things, but they have had little help in transforming this information into power.

Book excerpt: Ulysses' takes place in a single day, 16 June 1904, also known as Bloomsday, it sets the characters and incidents of the Odyssey of Homer in modern Dublin and represents Odysseus (Ulysses), Penelope and Telemachus in the characters of Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly Bloom and Stephen Dedalus, and contrasts them with their lofty models. The book explores various areas of Dublin life, dwelling on its squalor and monotony. Nevertheless, the book is also an affectionately detailed study of the city. In Ulysses, Joyce employs stream of consciousness, parody, jokes, and virtually every other literary technique to present his characters. Many consider it the best novel of the twentieth century. It is powerfully written, a book for the ages.

Book excerpt: "Улисс" – это роман ирландского писателя Джеймса Джойса, впервые опубликованный в 1922 году. Этот выдающийся пример модернистской литературы является одним из самых влиятельных и сложных произведений XX века.Роман представляет собой переработку эпического произведения Гомера "Одиссея", перенесенного в контекст одного дня – 16 июня 1904 года – в жизни обычного человека по имени Леопольд Блум в Дублине. Этот день, известный как "Блумсдэй", включает в себя события и переживания различных персонажей, главным образом Леопольда Блума, его жены Молли и молодого писателя Стивена Дедалуса."Улисс" отличается уникальной структурой и стилем: каждый из его 18 эпизодов выполнен в различной литературной технике, от потока сознания и внутреннего монолога до пародий и мифологических аллюзий. В центре произведения – повседневная жизнь и внутренние переживания героев, что позволяет Джойсу исследовать темы сознания, идентичности, морали и искусства.Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту сюжета, роман пронизан глубокими философскими размышлениями и экспериментами с языком. "Улисс" ставит под вопрос традиционные формы повествования, исследуя сложность человеческого опыта и преображая его в эпическую хронику одного дня.Текст романа приведен на языке оригинала без перевода и адаптации.
Download or read book ULYSSES Modern Classics Series written by James Joyce and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem (the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce divided Ulysses into 18 chapters or "episodes". At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic; Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant", which would earn the novel "immortality". James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, the short-story collection Dubliners, and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.
