Download or read book The Colonnade Vol 5 written by Virginia State Teachers College and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colonnade, Vol. 5: January, 1943 In time, this lovely girl became my bosom friend, and many unhappy problems which came to me at school, I brought to her, always con fident of Sincere consideration. My prob lems, when I really pause for reflection, Weren't so weighty after all, usually a current heart interest or something; but Pie always listened attentively, giving in her slow meditative manner, h'er unbiased opinion at the conclusion. What always amazed me about her, was the utter lack of concern over a gay social life. To be sure, she figured largely In our bull ses sions over cokes late at night, and our impromptu get-togethers, but When it came to dating and our college dances, Pie just didn't play a part. She dances well and gracefully too. We danced often with her in our rooms between classes or after dinner, and many were the times we'd land dizzily on a bed after a crazy jitterbug round, breathless from our Splurge of energy, Shouting with laughter. We often talked of taking her to school dances and I feel ashamed that We never did, but all our dances Were girl-break affairs, and fear ing that it Would be more of an ordeal than a pleasure, we dismissed the idea of taking her. None of us were tactful or clever enough (i'm not quite sure which), to get dates for Pie, and She never wished us to make contacts or arrangements and there it stood. Pie read widely, having many magazines and books. In Braille. In Our Freshman year When they called lights out on us at ten, I'd envy her lying so comfy in the dark, her chubby fingers tracing lightly over the Braille perforations, as She read on, While I had to surrender my prized novel of the moment to the darkness. She'd laugh when I'd say, Gee, Pie, one sure thing you can never get a headache from reading! When the much dreaded tests and exams rolled around, they would find Pie, Screw ball and me, studying until the wee hours. No, We weren't being noble to study with Pie, not by a long Shot, for it was she who helped. Screwball and I were more the scatterbrain type, whereas Pie could retain anything she studied. To my emphatic, No. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coraddi, Vol. 48: December, 1943 Edward looked at his orange juice with dis taste. Oh, all right l he said. He drank it quickly and scowled then he kissed Victoria and went to the chair in the living room where his coat and books were. DO you have your glasses? She called, And your lunch money? He dropped a Yeah! And left it hanging there as he dashed out. Miriam finished her cereal. Her face looked childishly puffy, the way it always did in the morning. She stood, stretched, kissed Victoria, said Bye, Mother, and left. Nathan had gone nearly an hour ago; he had finished his coffee and said, At eight O'clock on Monday morning, teach ing is a noble profession. SO Victoria was alone with the breakfast dishes and her second cup of coffee and the morning sunshine across the table. She went into the living room and took two cigarettes out Of the box on the coffee table. Going back to the breakfast room, she thought, Mrs. Pepys didn't have tobacco to fall back on. She wondered about coffee. Hello, Mrs. Pepys, would you like a second cup Of coffee? Won't you join us, Mrs. Thackeray? No, really, there's plenty. You don't have to hurry; we have eternity. Canby said Nathan's book had the sound of eternity. It was in the Saturday Review last week - did you happen to read it? The other reviews were favorable, too - the Times and the Tribune, even the New Yorker, and Publishers' Weekly and the Atlantic.

After Stephen Finney and Blood of Battle, Nathan Ewing's latest Offering estab lishes him as one of the leading literary figures Of the twentieth century.

Download or read book No Compromise written by Ana Araujo and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florence Knoll (1917–2019) was a leading force of modern design. She worked from 1945 to 1965 at Knoll Associates, first as business partner with her husband Hans Knoll, later as president after his death, and, finally, as design director. Her commissions became hallmarks of the modern era, including the Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe, the Diamond Chair by Harry Bertoia, and the Platner Collection by Warren Platner. She created classics like the Parallel Bar Collection, still in production today. Knoll invented the visual language of the modern office through her groundbreaking interiors and the creation of the acclaimed "Knoll look," which remains a standard for interior design today. She reinvigorated the International Style through humanizing textiles, lighting, and accessories. Although Knoll's motto was "no compromise, ever," as a woman in a white, upper-middle-class, male-dominated environment, she often had to make accommodations to gain respect from her colleagues, clients, and collaborators. No Compromise looks at Knoll's extraordinary career in close-up, from her student days to her professional accomplishments.

Everyone cracked a lot Of jokes about it, but it really wasn't so bad. There was no one to bother us, and we sat on the gravestones to do guard duty. There was a lot of noise out there caused by large bats as they flew about. They had a wing spread Of two to three feet. They seemed to care about some kind of fruit that grew in the trees nearby, and they would fly into the trees after this fruit. They also have a fondness for parrot meat; every now and then we could hear one (parrot) squawk out, 'and then the bats attacked him. Guess what watermelons are selling for over here? Some Of the fellows paid as much as eight to sixteen shillings for one, and a shilling is worth sixteen cents in American money. Isn't that a lot to pay for something like that?

Download or read book Master Painter written by Jack R. Lundbom and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people recognize the religious painting know as Head of Christ, of which an estimated five hundred million prints have been sold. Very few, however, know the artist, Warner E. Sallmann. Sallman's lack of notoriety in professional art circles can be explained by the fact that he made little or no attempt to put himself forward as a Chicago or even a Swedish American artist. He had no exhibitions of his works, and his public life consisted largely of appearances before church and community groups to do chalk drawings. More important was his attitude regarding personal fame. Sallman let the Christ he painted be in the foreground, while the artist remained in the background. "The time has come," argues Jack Lundbom, "for a broader public to know the man who stands behind the painting and the other artwork bearing the Sallman signature." Master Painter is a fascinating story of a gifted man with humble beginnings who overcame disappointment, ill health, and personal limitations in order to live out a vision: that his art serve not only for the enjoyment of humankind, but the practical end of instructing persons in the ways of God. Readers who know the art can now know the artist. It is a story eminently worth telling and one a broad public will be interested to know.

Download or read book Atomic Dwelling written by Robin Schuldenfrei and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years of reconstruction and economic boom that followed the Second World War, the domestic sphere encountered new expectations regarding social behaviour, modes of living, and forms of dwelling. This book brings together an international group of scholars from architecture, design, urban planning, and interior design to reappraise mid-twentieth century modern life, offering a timely reassessment of culture and the economic and political effects on civilian life. This collection contains essays that examine the material of art, objects, and spaces in the context of practices of dwelling over the long span of the postwar period. It asks what role material objects, interior spaces, and architecture played in quelling or fanning the anxieties of modernism’s ordinary denizens, and how this role informs their legacy today.
