Download or read book Ten Thousand Years in Hell written by Maurice Tillieux and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fantagraphics is proud to follow up 2010’s inaugural edition of Maurice Tillieux’s classic early-1960s Gil Jordan adventures Murder by High Tide with a new double dose of classic stories. “Ten Thousand Years in Hell” marks a sharp departure from the moody, urban detective thrillers of Jordan’s previous adventures: Instead, after a feint in that direction, it turns into a rollicking, comedic South American prison escape yarn. The second story, “Boom and Bust,” finds the duo’s countryside jaunt turned into an ad-hoc investigation by a spectacular vehicular washout and a suspiciously noisy enclosure. Tillieux’s freewheeling storytelling and masterful graphics remind the reader why he was considered one of the top Franco-Belgian cartoonists of the time — indeed, any time. Readers of all ages who are eager to dig deeper than Tintin and explore the history of other cartoonists working in that distinctive, cleanly drawn comedy/adventure register will enjoy the Gil Jordan books.
Download or read book Ten Thousand Years of Tyranny written by Richard Frost and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ten thousand years of tyranny” is a polemic as uncompromising as Rousseau or Marx. It rejects one central idea of Darwin’s theory, ie that life evolves in an environment of scarce resources and claims that the world has always been abundant of and for life. Given this, Frost claims, life is, though violent, essentially benign. Humanity, freed from the whip of scarcity, would be free to live in harmony with itself and the wider world, without sin, were it not for the corruptions arising from differential social power. The author, aged about 20 months, with his pregnant mother, Selina, taken in about September 1938 in North End, Essex, UK.
Download or read book Ten Thousand Things written by Lothar Ledderose and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incomparable look at how Chinese artists have used mass production to assemble exquisite objects from standardized parts Chinese workers in the third century BC created seven thousand life-sized terracotta soldiers to guard the tomb of the First Emperor. In the eleventh century AD, Chinese builders constructed a pagoda from as many as thirty thousand separately carved wooden pieces. As these examples show, throughout history, Chinese artisans have produced works of art in astonishing quantities, and have done so without sacrificing quality, affordability, or speed of manufacture. In this book, Lothar Ledderose takes us on a remarkable tour of Chinese art and culture to explain how artists used complex systems of mass production to assemble extraordinary objects from standardized parts or modules. He reveals how these systems have deep roots in Chinese thought and reflect characteristically Chinese modes of social organization. Combining invaluable aesthetic and cultural insights with a rich variety of illustrations, Ten Thousand Things make a profound statement about Chinese art and society.
