        These "arts" aren't too cold!

        by Shen Si

        "How to appreciate a painting", "How to understand art", "this painting can also be seen here", "XX Art History"... Similar books are emerging on the Internet, and homogenization is too serious. How to break out of this phenomenon, and not only talk about art history, but also blindly follow the trend and make a topic that no one else has? Cold knowledge of art seems to be "cold", but in fact it is not cold. Although it contains a lot of background knowledge of art history, it can make them "hot", so that readers who are interested in understanding art history can explore the more inner way of art history under the clues of large art history in a relaxed and pleasant reading experience. "These" Arts "Are Not Too Cold! ", aimed at breaking the general cognition and misunderstanding of the public on the art of the cold knowledge, to express a writer's attitude. Let's see what Shen says about art!

        Die Stunde X

        Gedichte

        by Martinus Nijhoff, Ard Posthuma, Ard Posthuma, Ard Posthuma

        Martinus Nijhoff (1894-1953) war Übersetzer, Literaturkiritker, vor allem Lyriker. Im Mittelpunkt seines Werks stehen die beiden aufeinander bezogenen Langgedichte »Awater« und »Die Stunde X«. Sie gehören zu den großen Gedichten dieses Jahrhunderts. »Ich glaube, daß es in unserem Zeitalter, in dem das Jahrhundert der Individualität von dem der Kollektivität abgelöst wird, für die Schriftsteller keine größere Schwierigkeit gibt als die Form seiner Sprachen. Aus dem Hang zur Universalität möchte man lateinisch oder noch lieber ganz sprachlos schrieben. Die traditionelle Form ist ebenso trügerisch geworden wie der spontane Ergruß.Um aus dieser Sackgasse herauszukommen, kann man zweierlei machen: entweder zurückgreifen auf eine Tradition, die so weit zurückliegt, daß sie aus dem Bewußtsein verschwunden ist, oder aber die heutige Umgangssprache spreche und zum Vibrieren bringen. In meinem Gedicht ›Awater‹, das nach der Form des Rolandsliedes gearbeitet wurde, habe ich ersteres, in meinem Gedicht ›Die Stunde X‹ letzteres versucht«

        Not Our Day to Die

        by Michael Sullivan

        It was work for Mike Sullivan–a flying job like the ones he'd done most of his life in many parts of the world–ferrying people, medicine, crops, supplies and almost anything else you can think of among the isolated jungle villages of Guatemala. Life in the farming co-ops there was simple, peaceful, and good, based on bedrocks of family, community, and faith.Then the repression began. A failed attempt at a coup had led to continued fighting between rebels and government, though in areas far from the almost-utopian Ixcan region. U.S. military and CIA intervention helped defeat the insurgency, but the social inequalities that had led to the movement remained, and the revolution went underground. The Guatemalan army, searching everywhere for those who opposed it, increased its control over the isolated jungle area. Co-op directors, teachers, catechists, and then anyone suspected of being one of or assisting the guerrillas was selectively "disappeared." The army turned to a scorched-earth policy, killing animals, burning crops, uprooting fruit trees, destroying towns, massacring their people. Throughout the Ixcan, those who survived fled. Some returned to their original mountain villages, others crossed the border into Mexico, and a third group survived for sixteen years hiding in the jungle–men, women, and children. Primeval growth took over the land as the war with the guerrilla movement raged on to encompass the entire nation.When finally peace accords were signed, the people of the Ixcan returned. Homes were rebuilt, land reclaimed, the area thrived again. But sixteen years were lost, along with countless lives. For Mike Sullivan, who had returned there when his help was needed, the story of those years–of how the people of the Ixcan survived, and of the many who didn't–was one that had to be told. In three visits, he conducted the interviews that form this book, talking with the villagers he'd known long before. At first, they spoke hesitantly, then with the flood force of vivid memory, telling of their first arrival at the Ixcan, the lives they'd made, and the years of the repression and worse. Their stories are gripping, fascinating, painful–but most of all, deeply human as we witness their struggle to survive and feel the force of the simple values that ultimately carried them through to a new and better life.

        Einfacher leben

        by Marie Bernhard, Frank Badur

        Ist es nicht vorstellbar, sich etwas einzuschränken? Kann man nicht mit weniger prestigeträchtigen »Erfahrungen« leichter das Gleichgewicht des Lebens halten? Könnte es nicht sogar sein, dass man, wenn man unnötigen Ballast abwirft, zwar Eitelkeiten verliert, aber elementare Dinge hinzugewinnt? Weniger Hektik, mehr Nachhaltigkeit, weniger Geschwätz, mehr Intensität, weniger artifizielle Vergnügungen, mehr Hinwendung zur Natur? Die Angebote dieser Anthologie reichen von Seneca bis Henry David Thoreau, von Anne Morrow Lindbergh bis Marlen Haushofer. Und begleitet wird das Lesebuch von der scheinbar einfachen, aber wirkungsmächtigen Farbfeldmalerei Frank Badurs. Für Texte und Bilder könnte gelten: »Man folge seiner inneren Stimme, und sie wird einem stündlich neue Aussichten eröffnen!«

        Anne Clifford's Great Books of Record

        by Jessica L. Malay

        In her Great Books of Record Anne Clifford places herself within the dynamic history of the ancient Clifford family, providing an unbroken view into medieval and early modern life for nearly six centuries. In this annotated edition, we glimpse the lives of simple widows, traders, farmers, and labourers juxtaposed with the adventures of soldiers, lords and ladies, princes and princesses. Throughout, Anne Clifford asserts the centrality of women to the success of noble families, including the monarchy. Her Great Books draws upon medieval traditions and early modern scholarship and builds upon these through biographies of the Clifford lords and ladies, along with an extended biography of her mother Margaret Russell and her own autobiographical 'Life of Mee'. Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political upon individuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.
