Download or read book The Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Venture Deluxe Facsimile Edition written by Chandler B. Saint and published by . This book was released on 2020-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deluxe Facsimile reprint of Venture Smith's autobiography, originally published in New London, Connecticut in 1798. This edition includes an introduction by H. E. John A Kufuor, former President of Ghana and Prof. David Richardson, Founding Director of the Wilberforce Institute for the study of Slavery and Abolition, Hull, UK. It includes a detailed timeline of Venture Smith's life and a description of how the original work was written and produced. Venture's autobiography is one of fewer than twenty first-person narratives by survivors of the Middle Passage, and the one with the richest portrait of life in Africa before enslavement. In writing his Narrative, Venture documented his birth in Africa and how he became an American, overcoming slavery by self-emancipation, freeing and building a family, and acquiring a large family compound. Most importantly, he recorded and interpreted the meaning of the freedom that both he and his newly-adopted country struggled so hard to achieve. VENTURE was the first person to publish the phrase "My freedom is a privilege . . . ", making his Narrative a document essential to a full understanding of the meaning of liberty. By writing his Narrative, VENTURE guaranteed that he would not be forgotten, and established himself as one of the founders of the new country. For students everywhere, VENTURE's Narrative should be required reading to understand the idea of freedom: as it existed in the society of his birth, in his struggle to achieve it, and in his new country's fight for independence. This deluxe edition is one of a series of reprints of Venture Smith's Narrative that includes an edition in Fante, the language of Anomabo where in the spring of 1739 Broteer Furro (renamed Venture) left Africa. Editions in Arabic and Hausa are currently being developed.

Download or read book Luxury Arts of the Renaissance written by Marina Belozerskaya and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.
