Download or read book Light the Dark written by Joe Fassler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning masterclass on the creative process, the craft of writing, and the art of finding inspiration from Stephen King, Elizabeth Gilbert, Amy Tan, Khaled Hosseini, Roxane Gay, Neil Gaiman, and more of the most acclaimed writers at work today "For artists in need of a creative fix, Light the Dark is as good as a visit from the divine muse." -Bookpage What inspires you? That's the simple, but profound question posed to forty-six renowned authors in LIGHT THE DARK. Each writer begins with a favorite passage from a novel, a song, a poem—something that gets them started and keeps them going with the creative work they love. From there, incredible lessons and stories of life-changing encounters with art emerge, like how sneaking books into his job as a night security guard helped Khaled Hosseini learn that nothing he creates will ever be truly finished. Or how a college reading assignment taught Junot Díaz that great art can be a healing conversation, and an unexpected poet led Elizabeth Gilbert to embrace an unyielding optimism, even in the face of darkness. LIGHT THE DARK collects the best of The Atlantic's much-acclaimed "By Heart" series edited by Joe Fassler and adds brand new pieces, each one paired with a striking illustration. Here is a guide to creative living and writing in the vein of Daily Rituals, Bird by Bird, Draft No. 4, and Big Magic for anyone who wants to learn how great writers find inspiration—and to find some of your own.

Download or read book Inspiration Explains Itself written by John B. Champion and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its inspiration makes the Scripture a Divine Light which can never fail. Men may fail it and turn their backs upon it; but all undimmed it shines on throughout the centuries. Clearly, our attitude to a man's word is our attitude to him. But how much more does God's word represent God. When our first parents withheld trust in what God had said, little did they realize they were abandoning God himself. No one can maintain faith in the Father, and at the same time reject or ignore his word. How remarkable that the very first assault of evil on this earth was upon what God had said! "Yea, hath God said? . . . Lest ye die . . . Ye shall not surely die." This Satanic line of opposition has never ceased from that day to this. All onset upon the Bible runs true to form. The van of the devil's army is still blasting away at the Scriptures. However, this long war upon the word will completely fail despite all Satan's wiles and persistence. This mighty conflict of the ages will end in the utter rout of all the enemies of Holy Writ. "The truth of Jehovah endureth for ever" (Ps. 117: 2). "But the Word of the Lord abideth for ever" (1 Peter 1: 25).

Download or read book Painting With Light written by John Alton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few cinematographers have had as decisive an impact on the cinematic medium as John Alton. Best known for his highly stylized film noir classics T-Men, He Walked by Night, and The Big Combo, Alton earned a reputation during the 1940s and 1950s as one of Hollywood's consummate craftsmen through his visual signature of crisp shadows and sculpted beams of light. No less renowned for his virtuoso color cinematography and deft appropriation of widescreen and Technicolor, he earned an Academy Award in 1951 for his work on the musical An American in Paris. First published in 1949, Painting With Light remains one of the few truly canonical statements on the art of motion picture photography, an unrivaled historical document on the workings of postwar American cinema. In simple, non-technical language, Alton explains the job of the cinematographer and explores how lighting, camera techniques, and choice of locations determine the visual mood of film. Todd McCarthy's introduction provides an overview of Alton's biography and career and explores the influence of his work on contemporary cinematography and the foreword, written expressly for this edition by award-winning cinematographer John Bailey, explores Alton’s often contentious relationships with colleagues, the American Society of Cinematographers, and the movie industry itself.
