＜p＞**One of ＜em＞The Hollywood Reporter＜/em＞’s 100 Greatest Film Books of All Time＜/p＞ ＜p＞“One of the great works of film history of the decade.” ー＜em＞Slate＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now a Netflix original documentary series, also written by Mark Harris: the extraordinary wartime experience of five of Hollywood's most important directors, all of whom put their stamp on World War II and were changed by it forever**＜/p＞ ＜p＞Here is the remarkable, untold story of how five major Hollywood directorsーJohn Ford, George Stevens, John Huston, William Wyler, and Frank Capraーchanged World War II, and how, in turn, the war changed them. In a move unheard of at the time, the U.S. government farmed out its war propaganda effort to Hollywood, allowing these directors the freedom to film in combat zones as never before. They were on the scene at almost every major moment of America’s war, shaping the public’s collective consciousness of what we’ve now come to call the good fight. The product of five years of scrupulous archival research, ＜em＞Five Came Back＜/em＞ provides a revelatory new understanding of Hollywood’s role in the war through the life and work of these five men who chose to go, and who came back.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Langston Hughes electrified readers and launched a renaissance in Black writing in Americaーthe poems in this collection were chosen by Hughes himself shortly before his death and represent stunning work from his entire career.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The poems Hughes wrote celebrated the experience of invisible men and women: of slaves who "rushed the boots of Washington"; of musicians on Lenox Avenue; of the poor and the lovesick; of losers in "the raffle of night." They conveyed that experience in a voice that blended the spoken with the sung, that turned poetic lines into the phrases of jazz and blues, and that ripped through the curtain separating high from popular culture. They spanned the range from the lyric to the polemic, ringing out "wonder and pain and terrorーand the marrow of the bone of life."＜/p＞ ＜p＞The collection includes "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," "The Weary Blues," "Still Here," "Song for a Dark Girl," "Montage of a Dream Deferred," and "Refugee in America." It gives us a poet of extraordinary range, directness, and stylistic virtuosity.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞The Cave Painters＜/em＞ is a vivid introduction to the spectacular cave paintings of France and Spainーthe individuals who rediscovered them, theories about their origins, their splendor and mystery.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gregory Curtis makes us see the astonishing sophistication and power of the paintings and tells us what is known about their creators, the Cro-Magnon people of some 40,000 years ago. He takes us through various theoriesーthat the art was part of fertility or hunting rituals, or used for religious purposes, or was clan mythologyーexamining the ways interpretations have changed over time. Rich in detail, personalities, and history, ＜em＞The Cave Painters＜/em＞ is above all permeated with awe for those distant humans who developedーperhaps for the first timeーboth the ability for abstract thought and a profound and beautiful way to express it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Pulitzer Prize?winning art critic Sebastian Smee tells the fascinating story of four pairs of artistsーManet and Degas, Picasso and Matisse, Pollock and de Kooning, Freud and Baconーwhose fraught, competitive friendships spurred them to new creative heights.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Rivalry is at the heart of some of the most famous and fruitful relationships in history. ＜em＞The Art of Rivalry＜/em＞ follows eight celebrated artists, each linked to a counterpart by friendship, admiration, envy, and ambition. All eight are household names today. But to achieve what they did, each needed the influence of a contemporaryーone who was equally ambitious but possessed sharply contrasting strengths and weaknesses.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas were close associates whose personal bond frayed after Degas painted a portrait of Manet and his wife. Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso swapped paintings, ideas, and influences as they jostled for the support of collectors like Leo and Gertrude Stein and vied for the leadership of a new avant-garde. Jackson Pollock’s uninhibited style of “action painting” triggered a breakthrough in the work of his older rival, Willem de Kooning. After Pollock’s sudden death in a car crash, de Kooning assumed Pollock's mantle and became romantically involved with his late friend’s mistress. Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon met in the early 1950s, when Bacon was being hailed as Britain’s most exciting new painter and Freud was working in relative obscurity. Their intense but asymmetrical friendship came to a head when Freud painted a portrait of Bacon, which was later stolen.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Each of these relationships culminated in an early flashpoint, a rupture in a budding intimacy that was both a betrayal and a trigger for great innovation. Writing with the same exuberant wit and psychological insight that earned him a Pulitzer Prize for art criticism, Sebastian Smee explores here the way that coming into one’s own as an artistーfinding one’s voiceーalmost always involves willfully breaking away from some intimate’s expectations of who you are or ought to be.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Praise for ＜em＞The Art of Rivalry＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞“Gripping . . . Mr. Smee’s skills as a critic are evident throughout.

A photographic and narrative celebration of contemporary Native American life and cultures, alongside an in-depth examination of issues that Native people face, by celebrated photographer and storyteller Matika Wilbur of the Swinomish and Tulalip Tribes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞“This book is too important to miss.

Over the next decade, she traveled six hundred thousand miles across fifty statesーfrom Seminole country (now known as the Everglades) to Inuit territory (now known as the Bering Sea)ーto meet, interview, and photograph hundreds of Indigenous people.

＜p＞This book explores modern European religious and non-religious rituals and their main features by focusing on music as a key element required for the full expression of beliefs. It specifically examines the relationship between religious, non-religious, pagan, cultural, celebratory, and traditional rituals. In doing so, this text focuses on the extent to which the rituals overlap, replace, or feed religious or pseudo-religious beliefs to create alternative beliefs (individual or collective) that systematically ignore any religion. The book further analyses the relationship between daily habits, holidays, sports, politics, culture, and other pagan rituals as forms that represent social feelings by identifying, enjoying, or impersonating emotions; and transversally, it explores how music facilitates and fosters those emotions. The volume also investigates how rituals coexist and mutually influence each other through a representation of religious and non-religious rituals, and how music plays a central role in that phenomenology.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The author argues that music is a key part of various types of rituals (e.g. rites of passage), and that music supports and enriches the meaning of the ritual, to ultimately strengthen the bond of communication with the individual and the group. This monograph appeals to students and researchers working in religious studies and in music theory.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞From one of this country's most important intellectuals comes a brilliant analysis of the blues tradition that examines the careers of three crucial black women blues singers through a feminist lens. Angela Davis provides the historical, social, and political contexts with which to reinterpret the performances and lyrics of Gertrude "Ma" Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Billie Holiday as powerful articulations of an alternative consciousness profoundly at odds with mainstream American culture.＜br /＞ The works of Rainey, Smith, and Holiday have been largely misunderstood by critics. Overlooked, Davis shows, has been the way their candor and bravado laid the groundwork for an aesthetic that allowed for the celebration of social, moral, and sexual values outside the constraints imposed by middle-class respectability. Through meticulous transcriptions of all the extant lyrics of Rainey and Smithーpublished here in their entirety for the first timeーDavis demonstrates how the roots of the blues extend beyond a musical tradition to serve as a conciousness-raising vehicle for American social memory. A stunning, indispensable contribution to American history, as boldly insightful as the women Davis praises, ＜em＞Blues Legacies and Black Feminism＜/em＞ is a triumph.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

But nothing could quell her insatiable curiosity, her desire to connect with people, or her distinctly Balkan sense of humorーall of which informs her art and her life.

＜p＞Drawing is experiencing an unparalleled surge in the art world. Pass? notions that once defined drawing as being a preparatory stage for painting or sculpture have long since been cast aside. Drawing is now fully recognized as its own art formーin the biennials, art fairs, museum exhibitions, and beyond.

＜p＞＜strong＞#1 ＜em＞NEW YORK TIMES＜/em＞ BESTSELLER ? In this powerful new collection of oil paintings and stories, President George W. Bush spotlights the inspiring journeys of America’s immigrants and the contributions they make to the life and prosperity of our nation.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The issue of immigration stirs intense emotions today, as it has throughout much of American history. But what gets lost in the debates about policy are the stories of immigrants themselves, the people who are drawn to America by its promise of economic opportunity and political and religious freedomーand who strengthen our nation in countless ways.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the tradition of ＜em＞Portraits of Courage,＜/em＞ President Bush’s #1 ＜em＞New York Times＜/em＞ bestseller, ＜em＞Out of Many, One＜/em＞ brings together forty-three full-color portraits of men and women who have immigrated to the United States, alongside stirring stories of the unique ways all of them are pursuing the American Dream. Featuring men and women from thirty-five countries and nearly every region of the world, ＜em＞Out of Many, One＜/em＞ shows how hard work, strong values, dreams, and determination know no borders or boundaries and how immigrants embody values that are often viewed as distinctly American: optimism and gratitude, a willingness to strive and to risk, a deep sense of patriotism, and a spirit of self-reliance that runs deep in our immigrant heritage. In these pages, we meet a North Korean refugee fighting for human rights, a Dallas-based CEO who crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico at age seventeen, and a NASA engineer who as a girl in Nigeria dreamed of coming to America, along with notable figures from business, the military, sports, and entertainment. President Bush captures their faces and stories in striking detail, bringing depth to our understanding of who immigrants are, the challenges they face on their paths to citizenship, and the lessons they can teach us about our country’s character.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As the stories unfold in this vibrant book, readers will gain a better appreciation for the humanity behind one of our most pressing policy issues and the countless ways in which America, through its tradition of welcoming newcomers, has been strengthened by those who have come here in search of a better life.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
