        La Dolce Vita

        by Gaio Sciloni

        La Dolce Vita - la Cuisine Régionale Italienne  par Gaio Sciloni Gaio Sciloni, célèbre écrivain né en Italie, a offert au lecteur israélien bon nombre d’excellentes traductions des oeuvres d’auteurs et de poètes italiens classiques. Il a consacré plusieurs années d’études à la préparation d’un guide culturel et culinaire, intitulé la Dolce Vita qui fera le bonheur de tous les amoureux de l’Italie. La Dolce Vita n’est pas seulement un livre de cuisine ordinaire, mais plutôt une revue systématique de l’Italie, du Nord au Sud, chaque région étant caractérisée par son paysage, ses traditions et son folklore, et par dessus tout, par sa micro-culture culinaire. Gaio Sciloni, suivant en cela les idées du célèbre auteur italien Pellegrino Artusi, croit lui aussi que la culture locale est inséparable de la cuisine locale. En fait Sciloni ne s’est pas contenté de puiser dans sa très vaste culture dans le domaine de la gastronomie italienne, mais il a étudié un large éventail de sources éthniques. La Dolce Vita a eu le privilège d’être préfacée par le Prof. Franco Massaia, Conseiller Principal du Ministère Italien des Affaires Etrangères pour les Relations Culturelles Internationales dans la région Méditerranée. Les Editions Tamar ont publié une version en hébreu de la Dolce Vita, dans une élégante édition bichrome de 256 pages en format 24x17cm, et celle-ci a connu un très grand succès. Une second édition a d’ailleurs déja été publiée. Le livre est rehaussé d’illustrations, fondées sur des représentations du folklore culinaire régional à travers l’Art italien ancien. Si la possibilité de publier une édition en français de cet ouvrage ou un projet de co-édition vous intéresse, veuillez nous contacter. C'est avec plaisir que nous vous ferons parvenir une documentation supplémentaire.

        Art as worldmaking

        Critical essays on realism and naturalism

        by Malcolm Baker, Andrew Hemingway, Andrew Hemingway, Briony Fer, Joshua Shannon, Adrian Rifkin, Malcolm Baker, Martina Droth, Caroline Arscott, Anne Wagner, Martin Powers, Neil McWilliam, Celeste Brusati, T.J. Clark, Rebecca Zurier, Steve Edwards, Tamar Garb, Lisa Tickner, Alistair Rider, Thomas Crow, Gail Day

        Art as worldmaking is a response to Alex Potts's provocative 2013 book Experiments in modern realism. Twenty essays by leading scholars test Potts's recasting of realism through examinations of art produced in different media and periods, ranging from eighth-century Chinese garden aesthetics to video work by the contemporary Russian collective Radek Community. While the book does not neglect avatars of pictorial realism such as Menzel and Eakins, or the question of nineteenth-century realism's historical antecedents, it is contemporary in orientation in that many contributors are particularly concerned with the questions that sculpture, photography and non-traditional media pose for realism as an aesthetic norm. It will be essential reading for students of art history concerned with art's truth value or more broadly with conceptual problems of representation and the intersections of art and politics.

        Mourning: The Day After Loss

        Insights and practical Advice on Coping with Grief

        by Tamar Ashkenazi

        The notification of the death of a loved one is a devastating event. Once a loved one is gone, family and friends are left to cope with his memory and absence. But how? Mourning: The Day After Loss offers practical advice and insight into the process of coping with grief and bereavement based on extensive experience and research. It leads the reader on a journey through the various stages of bereavement - from the death notification to the formal days of mourning, the burial, and the weeks and months following. The book is based on the author’s experience as a hospital nurse and donors coordinator for the Israel National Transplant Center. It is a product of her doctoral research on adjustment to loss. The book focuses on Israeli protocols and traditions of grief but offers universal insight.   Practical insight on coping with grief and bereavement The death of a loved one surfaces pressing dilemmas: How should the deceased be commemorated in daily life and special occasions, such as holidays, birthdays, and memorials? How should his absence be regarded in school or at work? How does a marriage continue after death? How should the deceased’s clothes and belongings be handled? How should one remember, and how does one find the power to live on? Mourning: The Day After Loss delivers personal expressions of grief from parents and grandparents, siblings, spouses, and friends who have suffered loss or supported others in their grief. The author uses her experience as a group facilitator to bring the voices of participants in support groups for the bereaved, as well as the insights and testimonies of others who have dealt with life after loss. This book offers a comprehensive overview of bereavement and the approaches and methods of dealing with loss.

        by Deborah Harvey

        ‘Dart’, Deborah Harvey’s lyrical yet unflinching portrayal of life on Dartmoor during the winter of 1348-49, takes the reader back to a time when half the population of the British Isles was struck down by the Black Death and the only remedies were prayer … and witchcraft.  Tobias Hext is in love with Beatrice and if his sister, Kat, is to be believed, the feeling’s mutual. But in nearby Tavystoke, the townsfolk are dying of some terrible fever, and it’s creeping ever closer to their village, thanks to the illicit activities of their neighbour, the villainous Serlo Crake.  And then there’s the witch, Isabella, and her strange stone arrowhead. Will it bring good fortune or be the death of them all?

        by Viviana Sgorbini, Tamar Gumburashvili, Enrica Fontani
