![]() ![]() Author: Gross Peter; King Tom Publisher: Bao Publishing Tom King lo dice chiaramente nella sua prefazione al volume: è lecito aggiornare i miti. Quando George Orwell scrisse La fattoria degli animali, a neanche metà del Ventesimo secolo, voleva evidenziare come il mondo fosse cambiato rispetto alle logiche politiche dell'Ottocento, e quali pericoli si nascondessero nelle politiche più estreme all'interno dei sistemi democratici. Ottant'anni dopo Tom King, uno degli sceneggiatori più apprezzati d'America, aiutato dal disegnatore Peter Gross e dalla colorista Tamra Bonvillain, attualizza la metafora di Orwell per renderla attuale, pertinente nel tempo confuso e pericoloso che stiamo vivendo. La storia del rifugio, di Madame Fifi, di Lucky, Titan e delle libere elezioni tra gli animali è la nostra storia. Il loro pericolo è quello all'ombra del quale ci risvegliamo ogni mattina. E questo fumetto è qualcosa che tutti dovrebbero leggere, per tornare a dire ad alta voce che le cose assurde sono assurde. € 22,00

![]() ![]() Author: King Ross Publisher: Garzanti L'idea del Rinascimento, a Firenze, evoca immediatamente immagini di splendidi affreschi e edifici eleganti, opera dei tanti artisti e architetti che in quegli anni irripetibili popolavano la città. Ma altrettanto decisivi, sebbene meno conosciuti, furono per la storia e la cultura dei secoli a venire anche stampatori, cacciatori di manoscritti, copisti, librai, editori. Ross King dedica questo libro appassionante proprio a loro, e in particolare alla vita e alle avventure di un uomo straordinario: Vespasiano da Bisticci, «il re dei librai», capace di trasformare la propria bottega in un prestigioso luogo di incontri e discussione. In un'epoca di libri fatti a mano riuscì a produrre centinaia di volumi, copiati da scribi di talento e impreziositi dai più abili miniaturisti: vere opere d'arte destinate alle biblioteche private di papi, re e principi di tutto il continente. Ma, proprio quando Vespasiano era all'apice del suo successo, l'avvento in Europa della stampa a caratteri mobili travolse il suo impero commerciale e il mondo intellettuale che attorno a lui si riuniva, segnando l'inizio di una rivoluzione. Avvincente ricostruzione di un'epoca e riscoperta di un personaggio dimenticato, 'Il libraio di Firenze' conquisterà tutti quanti ancora oggi avvertono il fascino di una delle più insostituibili invenzioni della nostra civiltà. € 22,00

![]() ![]() Author: King Ross Publisher: Rizzoli Per i viaggiatori che si fermavano sul bordo della strada a sbirciare i fiori o che allungavano il collo dai finestrini del treno per scorgere un angolo dello stagno, il giardino di Monet a Giverny era una visione paradisiaca. 'Un Paradiso dove, all'ombra di alcuni alberi, i fiori variopinti giocano sul prato illuminati dal sole che filtra a chiazze tra le fronde mosse dalla brezza' scrisse un giornalista. Eppure quel luogo ameno era lo stesso in cui Monet, lottando con le sue tele, contemplava quello che il suo primo critico definì 'il nulla insondabile': le ninfee - 'silenti e misteriose più di ogni altro fiore' - ossessione decennale di un artista che inseguiva il sogno della forma e del colore fin quasi all'autodistruzione. 'Ho intrapreso qualcosa di impossibile. Non dormo più per colpa loro', confessò Monet al suo amico Georges Clemenceau. Ma dietro ogni fiore c'è forse una donna? Una donna inaccessibile, proibita? Ross King ricostruisce lo scenario che fa da sfondo al 'folle incantamento' di Monet e alla realizzazione di questi dipinti sfuggenti e misteriosi, in cui - forse più che in ogni altra opera dell'impressionismo - possiamo scorgere la scintilla della modernità. € 24,00

![]() ![]() Author: King Ross Ph.D., Kim Chungsook Ph.D., Yeon Jaehoon Ph.D., Baker Donald Publisher: Tuttle Pub Advanced Korean offers a complete, systematic, and streamlined third-year course in Korean. It is ideal for university students and adult learners with plentiful reading texts and written exercises, all in Korean Hangul. Concise Korean grammar notes in English, extensive glossaries, and an answer key make this book suitable for those studying alone, as well as for classroom use. There are 20 comprehensive lessons, each with a reading text in which new language is introduced in context, followed by vocabulary, grammar points, and exercises. Lessons 5, 10, 15 and 20 are short reviews of the key structural patterns introduced. The focus is on written Korean, but the reading texts are not academic, they are breezy, chatty, and amusing, with illustrations. The textbook comes with a free CD-ROM entitled Sino-Korean Companion, a supplement for those learners wishing to commence the study of Chinese characters as they are used in the Korean language. The 20 lessons on the CD-ROM build on the content of the lessons in the main textbook to introduce 500 Chinese characters in their Sino-Korean readings. The emphasis is on giving students the tools they need to decipher unfamiliar Chinese characters on their own, and also on Sino-Korean vocabulary acquisition. Each lesson introduces approximately 25u30 new Chinese characters along with related vocabulary items, and builds on previous characters and vocabulary introduced, demonstrating the cumulative effect on oneAEs vocabulary of paying systematic attention to Sino-Korean. € 26,80

![]() ![]() Author: Association County Commissioners of Georgia (COR), Newington Greg (PHT), King Ross (FRW), Walker Larry (INT) Publisher: Univ of Georgia Pr The courthouses of Georgia’s 159 counties hold the keys to the history of individual families and entire communities alike. From their primary role as the temples of justice for our court system to their better-known function as the official repository of public records for significant life events, these buildings anchor many of Georgia’s town squares. In Courthouses of Georgia, internationally recognized photographer Greg Newington captures the prominence and character of these great structures. His images pay tribute to the community’s investment in preserving historic courthouses for future generations and celebrate new facilities designed to accommodate expanded county programs and services, keeping pace with the state’s tremendous growth. Courthouses of Georgia commemorates the centennial anniversary of Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG), Georgia’s county government association. In his introduction to this lavishly illustrated book, former Georgia House of Representatives majority leader Larry Walker shares memories of county courthouses by legislators, authors, judges, and other notable state figures, and historian George Justice highlights the proud civic and architectural heritage of each structure to provide additional context. Organized by the nine travel regions of Georgia, the book offers the perfect starting point for touring any of Georgia’s counties and instills an appreciation for historic preservation. € 32,30

![]() ![]() Author: King Ross Publisher: Bloomsbury Pub Plc USA In 1508, despite strong advice to the contrary, the powerful Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti to paint the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel in Rome. Despite having completed his masterful statue David four years earlier, he had little experience as a painter, even less working in the delicate medium of fresco, and none with challenging curved surfaces such as the Sistine ceiling's vaults. The temperamental Michelangelo was himself reluctant: He stormed away from Rome, incurring Julius's wrath, before he was eventually persuaded to begin. Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling recounts the fascinating story of the four extraordinary years he spent laboring over the twelve thousand square feet of the vast ceiling, while war and the power politics and personal rivalries that abounded in Rome swirled around him. A panorama of illustrious figures intersected during this time-the brilliant young painter Raphael, with whom Michelangelo formed a rivalry; the fiery preacher Girolamo Savonarola and the great Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus; a youthful Martin Luther, who made his only trip to Rome at this time and was disgusted by the corruption all around him. Ross King blends these figures into a magnificent tapestry of day-to-day life on the ingenious Sistine scaffolding and outside in the upheaval of early-sixteenth-century Italy, while also offering uncommon insight into the connection between art and history. € 17,00
