Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the dramatic and tragic years of World War II, the Hungarian poet Lajos Walder was probably looking for a broader expression of his philosophical beliefs than poetry seemed to allow. Following Huxley, Aragon and Celine, he turned to prose. Drawing on his education in Greek and his love of theatre he penned plays with '... insights so pertinent, that they seem universally valid some six and a half decades later'. Lajos Walder (1913-1945) was a well-known poet in 1930s Budapest, but his plays, written in the early 1940s, were not known until 1990 when they were first published in Hungarian and described by a major critic as '... uniquely beautiful creations of an original mind'. Lajos Walder died on 7 May 1945, the day of liberation and just four hours after walking out of the Death Camp of Gunskirchen: he was not yet 32 years of age. These plays should be staged. In the meantime, they may be read in Agnes Walder's fine translations which evoke the essence and mood of her father's time and capture his expressive literary style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrations of Ancient Art: Selected From Objects Discovered at Pompeii and Herculaneum The Architecture of Herculaneum and Pompeii has been most com pletely illustrated by the great works of Mazois, Donaldson, and Gell. The statues, together with some of the other most striking works of art, have been also engraved in several publications of much merit. The chief, if not the only work, however, treating of the immense general mass of antiquities, is that published by the Neapolitan Government; but the cost of this is so great, that it must necessarily be excluded from most private libraries. It has consequently been thought possible that an illustrated work on this subject, comprising specimens of the Arms, Armour, Jewelry, Furniture, Vases, &c., which throw so much light upon the domestic life and manners of the Romans, might not be unacceptable to the public. The Author has therefore attempted to classify the materials he possessed, which have been chie y gathered from a large number of his own sketches, taken from the originals, but aided by selections from other works, such as the Mnseo Borbonico, &c. In the explanatory descriptions he has to acknowledge the great assistance he has derived from Smith's Classical Dictionary and Rich's Companion to the Latin Dictionary, &c.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On his sixtieth birthday, Monsieur Lebordin, a world-renowned scholar and antiquities expert, suffers a heart attack while alone in his one-room apartment in Paris, and is visited by the mysterious stranger Angela, who, as we find out in the course of the play, is not at all who she appears to be ... As Lebordin reminisces about his life--his loveless marriage and failure as a father, opportunities missed and roads not taken, the price of professional success--it is the Vase of Pompeii that moves center stage: brought to him years ago by a young and beautiful American millionairess to be authenticated, it embodies the gift of love he rejected and the life he did not live ... Set in 1930s France, Vase of Pompeii is a Symbolist masterpiece, social commentary (applying as much to our own time as to pre-war Europe) masquerading as bourgeois tragedy.

Book excerpt: For thousands of years an enigmatic and astonishingly beautiful piece of Roman art has captivated those who have come in contact with it.Made before the birth of Christ, the Portland Vase, as it is called, is renowned for both its beauty and its mystery. In The Portland Vase, Robin Brooks takes us on a vivid journey across Europe and through the centuries, as this delicate piece of glass, less than ten inches in height, passes through the hands of a stunning cast of characters, including the first Roman emperor, Augustus; a notorious tomb raider; a reckless cardinal; a princess with a nasty gambling habit; the ceramics genius Josiah Wedgwood; the secretive Duchess of Portland; and a host of politicians, dilettantes, and scam artists. Rich with passion, inspiration, jealousy, and endless speculation, the story of The Portland Vase spans more than two thousand years and remains one of the art world's greatest enigmas.
