PAYSAGES D’ISRAEL
by Moshe Kaufman
PAYSAGES D’ISRAEL par Moshe Kaufman Ces trente-trois dessins par Moshe Kaufman, choisis parmi des centaines de dessins, sont le fruit des excursions entreprises par lui pour dessiner les paysages historiques et pittoresques de la Terre Sainte. Ils reflètent l'admiration de l'artiste à la vue des paysages majestueux qu'il a pu decouvrir en visitant les différentes régions du pays. Les années pendant lesquelles Kaufman s’est formé ont été passées à Jérusalem, où il a tout d’abord absorbé les paysages urbains de la ville sainte. En tant que jeune étudiant en architecture à Haïfa, il s’est livré de nombreuses randonnées dans les monts du Carmel et de la Galilée. Au cours des années suivantes, lorsqu’il participait à la planification de la ville d'Eilat, il a eu l'occasion d'être en contact étroit avec les vues du désert montagneux du Néguev et de la Arava. Moshe Kaufman est un peintre et architecte à la retraite. Ses paysages, en noir et blanc ou en couleurs, ont été exposés dans plusieurs one-man-shows en Israël, en Floride, et New York lui valant autant de succès. « ... Moshe Kaufman, seulement avec plume et encre sur papier, il peint de simples scènes de campagne et l'intensité, avec laquelle il les fait ressentir, les fait se lever de la feuille du dessin comme d’une page de l'Ancien Testament. Un simple arbre du désert, déchiqueté, avec quelques buissons, et une colline derrière eux, c’est avec cela que Moshe Kaufman est capable de réaliser de la magie. » Bruno Pulmer Poroner « ARTSPEAK » New York « ... Kaufman ne copie pas la nature dans un style réaliste. Il adopte plutôt la nuance impressionniste avec une touche personnelle. Ses dessins se composent de mysticisme et d'imagination combinés avec le réalisme. Ses paysages expressifs révèlent une force cachée de l'artiste, ainsi que la vérité intérieure qui le caractérise. » « WORLD OF ART » Tel Aviv

RomanceSeptember 2013Soft Sweet and Gentle
by Barbara Cartland
Lady Georgina Lang returns to The Castle from her father’s funeral to wonder what the future holds for her. Because her father had always longed for a son to succeed him, he had brought her up and educated her exactly as if she was a boy. She dressed as a boy and, although she had been christened Georgina, he liked calling her George. She was completely alone in the huge castle, which was now inherited by the new Earl of Langfield, a distant cousin who had been difficult to trace. Alister, however, had never, in his wildest dreams, expected to become the eleventh Earl of Langfield. He had left England in a fury because, having been pressed into marrying a very suitable young woman chosen by his family, he had run away to be free of her. When she died, he had sworn that he would never marry again as he disliked all women especially those who argued and were determined to have their own way. He finds his cousin Georgina at The Castle and she shows him the vast estate, the farms, the villages and The Castle itself, all of which now belongs to him. He also learns that, as he is the Head of the Family, traditionally they rely on him entirely for financial support. Georgina has already been warned by her aunt that on no account is she to wear men’s clothes in front of Alister and always to be soft, sweet and gentle in his company. And she has to persuade him as a weak woman to realise his position as the Earl of Langfield. How a newspaper article describing The Castle and its valuable contents brings a tiresome neighbour to the Castle. How the Earl, because she is un-chaperoned makes Georgina go to the Dower House. How the article attracts some ferocious burglars to The Castle. How Georgina saves the Earl’s life and unexpectedly finds love and happiness is all told is this unusual story by BARBARA CARTLAND.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2020Cuentos de la Guerra Civil
by Ambrose Bierce
En 1861, tras un año en una academia militar, Ambrose Bierce se alistó en el Noveno Regimiento de Voluntarios de Indiana. Participó en algunas de las batallas más sangrientas de la Guerra Civil norteamericana, incluyendo la de Chickamauga, donde 34.000 hombres perdieron la vida. Arriesgó su pellejo en dos ocasiones para rescatar a compañeros caídos y, en 1864, resultó gravemente herido en la batalla de Kennesaw. Los cuentos de esta selección constituyen algunos de los mejores ejemplos de la obra de Bierce. Apoyándose sólidamente en su propia experiencia bélica, describe el lado oscuro de la naturaleza humana. Con un estilo sombrío y resuelto, da vida a personajes esculpidos por una época feroz y que reflejan su propia personalidad: alienación, agudeza irónica y fatalismo.

Introducing Science and Religion
A path through polemic
by Gillian Straine
We can look at science and religion and see conflict; or we can separate them into different worlds. This book helps the reader understand both sides of this 'conflict' and how they throw light on each other's approach. Of particular interest is what we are learning about personality, mind and psychology, and where consciousness comes from. This book suggests several different paths through the debates that surround science and religion. These paths offer ways of holding a rational interest in the world and scientific attempts to understand it and a lively and questioning faith in God which takes the Bible seriously.
