Download or read book The Bedroom written by Michelle Perrot and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An erudite and highly enjoyable exploration of the most intriguing of personal spaces, from Greek and Roman antiquity through today The winner of France’s prestigious Prix Femina Essai (2009), this imaginative and captivating book explores the many dimensions of the room in which we spend so much of our lives—the bedroom. Eminent cultural historian Michelle Perrot traces the evolution of the bedroom from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans to today, examining its myriad forms and functions, from royal king’s chamber to child’s sleeping quarters to lovers’ trysting place to monk’s cell. The history of women, so eager for a room of their own, and that of prisons, where the principal cause of suffering is the lack of privacy, is interwoven with a reflection on secrecy, walls, the night and its mysteries. Drawing from a wide range of sources, including architectural and design treatises, private journals, novels, memoirs, and correspondences, Perrot’s engaging book follows the many roads that lead to the bedroom—birth, sex, illness, death—in its endeavor to expose the most intimate, nocturnal side of human history.

Book excerpt: The Giannettis have developed a home design style that embraces age, patina, weathered and worn surfaces, and rough surfaces. Patina Style is a color palette, a romance with subtlety, an attraction to natural materials and architectural details. It is at once old-world, contemporary, and mildly industrial. Patina Style gives insight into materials choices, methods and treatments that result in spaces that celebrate beauty in the old, the imperfect, the slightly roughed-up.
Download or read book The Beauty of the Dead and Other Stories written by H.E. Bates and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beauty of the Dead (Jonathan Cape, 1940) featuring fifteen stories, was released to critical acclaim. Pamela Hansford Johnson wrote in John O'London's Weekly that "all have that delicate luminosity by which visions are seen more clearly than in the bright sunlight." 'Old' is a snapshot of an elderly man – no longer appreciated or respected by his children and extended family – during a Sunday tea. He finds a companion in his seven-year-old grand-niece, making animal shapes out of biscuits and eventually falling into a "mesmeric peace" as she brushes his hair. There is a glimpse of Bates's childhood experiences in 'Quartette', written through the eyes of a music director. The story accounts the attraction between two of the singers which the director worries is breaking up the group, yet on their last song he can feel "the passionate quality of their singing transcending the small hot room and the small bewildered minds". Bates had much personal knowledge of choirs and singing through his father, who was a choir director. 'The Bridge' is narrated by a twenty-two-year-old woman while she and her older sister vie for the attention of the same man. The Spectator praised it as "a masterly short story...courageously conceived... thick with symbolism, it is a triumphant display of control." For the first time, this collection features the comic bonus story 'Obadiah'. After a tough, poverty-stricken childhood, Obadiah's scheme to make his fortune begins with a pig. He wanted neither children nor romance, but a partner in business, so when he meets a widow with similar values, he wins her over in what becomes a comic sketch of a bickering couple – a rare and brilliant piece of caricature in Bates's canon. Published in the New Clarion (1933), and not republished since.

Book excerpt: Retribution. That's the goal of Grace Morgen and a small group of supporters. They exact a vigilante revenge on lowlifes who hurt those who cannot defend themselves. The latest case is Michael Jacobs, a violent abuser who tortured and killed his girlfriend's dog, Pepper. Now Grace, also a bestselling novelist known as Joan Dark, will inflict the same kinds of injuries on the man and leave Jacobs with a dog killer tattoo on his forehead. But just as Grace begins to question if her vigilante quest to stop animal abusers is getting out of control, she stumbles across some important information about her father's death more than seventeen years ago. His death may not have been an accident after all, but could have been an attempt to silence Dr. Brody Morgen's questions about wrongdoing at the Glendale Chemical Corporation. With the help of a reporter, a cop, and a tattooist, Grace and her friends investigate whether GCC illegally used homeless people and animals to foster their experiments. As an advocate for the defenseless, Grace and the group go up against not only a powerful corporation but a Nazi scientist, a gunrunner, and a hit man.
