Download or read book The Thief Who Stole My Heart written by Vidya Dehejia and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to put the sacred and sensuous bronze statues from India’s Chola dynasty in social context From the ninth through the thirteenth century, the Chola dynasty of southern India produced thousands of statues of Hindu deities, whose physical perfection was meant to reflect spiritual beauty and divine transcendence. During festivals, these bronze sculptures—including Shiva, referred to in a saintly vision as “the thief who stole my heart”—were adorned with jewels and flowers and paraded through towns as active participants in Chola worship. In this richly illustrated book, leading art historian Vidya Dehejia introduces the bronzes within the full context of Chola history, culture, and religion. In doing so, she brings the bronzes and Chola society to life before our very eyes. Dehejia presents the bronzes as material objects that interacted in meaningful ways with the people and practices of their era. Describing the role of the statues in everyday activities, she reveals not only the importance of the bronzes for the empire, but also little-known facets of Chola life. She considers the source of the copper and jewels used for the deities, proposing that the need for such resources may have influenced the Chola empire’s political engagement with Sri Lanka. She also investigates the role of women patrons in bronze commissions and discusses the vast public records, many appearing here in translation for the first time, inscribed on temple walls. From the Cholas’ religious customs to their agriculture, politics, and even food, The Thief Who Stole My Heart offers an expansive and complete immersion in a community still accessible to us through its exquisite sacred art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French author Gaston Leroux unknowingly created a timeless and powerful character in his Erik, the Phantom of the Opera. Movies, books and musicals have retold the original tale, enhancing it with a sparse tease of detail that we may glimpse the tortured life of Erik. As outstanding as these renditions prove to be, there seems to be so many unanswered questions. The Angel of Music is an account of the very private adventures of Erik in his quest to love and be loved. As brilliant and gifted as he is, he cannot convey his feelings to Christine properly. Frustrated to the point of violence, his fantasy of a beautiful life with her is shattered and he despairs into his last breath. The nightingale that rescues him and loves him back to life is rewarded with a romantic adventure of epic proportions. Herein lies the testament of the Angel of Music and his beloved Christine.
