I believe that anybody could be anonymous. To understand each other we first must become even. We are always of two halves. My Anonymous is a cry of emotions. In this book the reader chooses himself, who he or she is and to whom he or she will address to. Who knows where they might actually find themselves. Who knows where their truth lays. Let it be, as long as it reaches another anonymous.

In 1941 Ansel Adams was hired by the United States Department of the Interior to photograph Americas national parks for a series of murals that would celebrate the countrys natural heritage. Because of the escalation of World War II, the project was suspended after less than a year, but not before Adams had produced this group of breathtaking images, which illustrate both his early innovations and the shape of his later, legendary career as Americas foremost landscape photographer. The invitation to photograph the nations parklands was the perfect assignment for Adams, as it allowed him to express his deepest convictions as artist, conservationist, and citizen. These stunning photographs of the natural geysers and terraces in...

"Ansel Adams at 100" is the most significant book yet on the great photographers work, edited and with text by legendary curator John Szarkowski. John Szarkowski has painstakingly selected what he considers Adams greatest work - 114 images - and has attempted to find the single best photographic print of each. He notes, It includes many photographs that will be unfamiliar to lovers of Adams work, and a substantial number that will be new to Adams scholars. This book, with Szarkowskis incisive essay, is the first serious effort since Adams death in 1984 to re-evaluate his achievement as an artist.

Hans Schnier, Sohn aus reichem Hause, will lieber ein ehrlicher Clown als ein Heuchler sein. Sechs Jahre lang hat er mit Marie in wilder Ehe gelebt.

These five works - George Gascoigne`s "The Adventures of Master F. J"; John Lyly`s "Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit"; Robert Greene`s "Pandosto. The Triumph of Time"; Thomas Nashe`s "The Unfortunate Traveller" and Thomas Deloney`s "Jack of Newbury" - represent Elizabethan fiction at its best. "The Adventures of Master F. J." is a comedy of manners with a sting in its tail. In "Euphues" John Lyly invented a new, elaborate rhetorical style which delighted its Elizabethan audience and has been praised or parodied ever since. "Pandosto" was Shakespeare`s source for "The Winter`s Tale", but Greene`s is a darker story designed to shock the reader accustomed to romantic conventions. "The Unfortunate Traveller" marks the peak of Nashe`s gift for...

Composer une nouvelle anthologie de la poesie francaise serait bien temeraire, si cette initiative n`avait ici pour fin d`offrir au plus grand nombre un durable viatique: pour les plus jeunes, un stimulant apercu du somptueux domaine qui les attend; pour les autres, un discret rappel des syllabes immortelles qui les ont enchantes. De ses origines medievales (Rutebeuf, Villon) jusqu`а la fin du xix siecle (Rimbaud, Laforgue), la poesie francaise est ici representee par "ces vers qui chantent dans la tete alors que la memoire est absente" (Verlaine).
