Download or read book For the Love of Rome written by John Ferris and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In For the Love of Rome, John Ferris conveys his excitement in discovering the city of Rome through language that moves those unfamiliar with the enchanted city, as well as those who have often been there. The book is not about wars, persecutions, internal struggles for power within Roman and Vatican rule, nor cultural development. As Ferris said, The book is about our experiences in [mid-1960s and -1970s] Rome, what drew my wife and me there, and what we learned by seeing and reading. The style is witty, amusing, and unfailingly interesting as he relates historical anecdotes and reveals Rome's impact on various major figures, including Charles Dickens, James Joyce, and many more.

A DAMAGED SURVIVOR. A RACE AGAINST TIME... In a villa on the coast of Montenegro, Abby Cormac witnesses the brutal murder of her lover, diplomat Michael Lascaris. The last thing she remembers is a gun pointed directly at her and wakes to find herself alone and at the centre of a diplomatic nightmare. Everyone wants an answer but no one wants to listen. Even her employers at the Foreign Office believe she's hiding something. As Abby tries to piece together the last few months of Michael's life in order to get at the truth, she soon realises that he wasn't quite what he seemed. What exactly was his relationship with one of the most ruthless men in the Balkans? And what links Michael's gift to her of a gold necklace, a 4th century manuscript left in the shadow of Emperor Constantine's palace at Trier and an inscription on a tomb in Rome? When Abby investigates further, it becomes clear that someone wants to suppress a secret, one that has been kept hidden for centuries. And they will stop at nothing to do so...

Download or read book Mounthaven written by Bernard Peyton Chamberlain, Jr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mounthaven is a multi-layered tale. Four generations and a hundred years of a Virginia family that, having survived the Civil War, acquires a derelict mansion and surrounding acreage called Mounthaven. The year is 1903. The place is already over a century old when Mary Carter Stokes, wife of a failed Yankee gentleman farmer and daughter of Major Moses Carter, late of the Army of Northern Virginia, first sees the property no plumbing, no electricity and the grounds a total disaster -- and it begins to sink in that this is to be where she will eventually die. Thus it becomes the story of Marys elder son, Edmund Carter Stokes and his Yankee but wealthy bride, as Ed, using Mounthaven as a base, struggles to complete the mission laid upon him by his mother-- to restore the family to the place in society it occupied before the war while Eds own son, Carter, flounders to free himself from these very values, for most of which Mounthaven serves as a decaying metaphor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greater than the Godfather! Who is the Gran Mafioso, the capo of all capos? The U.S. Strike Force of the Attorney General's Office shadows and stakes out a suspected Gran Mafioso who appears to be an ascetic individual who lives a lonely life. In the dark past of his life a daughter exists. The Deputy Attorney General Mark Ranieri, head of the Force, uses the daughter of whom the father is protective and secretive, as a pawn to have the suspect commit himself for the love of his daughter and expose himself as the Gran Mafioso. The Mafia, ignorant that he has a daughter, is now alarmed at the intention of the Strike Force to leverage her and so to expose his identity as the Gran Mafioso! In the midst of probing investigations Carla, the daughter, falls in love with Detective Dan Russo, believes herself rejected, and becomes involved with a handsome gangster Dino Amante. Carla, the daughter, becomes a patsy of Detective Dan Russo and the debonair Mafioso Dino Amante, all gripped in the father's iron will of political passion which seeks to destroy any police regime and the Mafia, itself, and ends with tragic consequences to all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original account of ancient Egyptian and Sumerian architecture from the acclaimed architectural historian In The Beginnings of Architecture, Sigfried Giedion examines the architecture of ancient Egypt and Sumer. These early builders expressed an attitude of immense force when they confronted their structures with open sky. Giedion argues that it was during these periods that the problem of constancy and change flared up with an intensity unknown in any other period of history, and resolved eventually into the first architectural space conception, the automatic, psychic recording of the visual environment.

Download or read book Monumentality and the Roman Empire written by Edmund Thomas and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-11-16 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of 'monumentality' is attributed to the buildings of few historical epochs or cultures more frequently or consistently than to those of the Roman Empire. It is this quality that has helped to make them enduring models for builders of later periods. This extensively illustrated book, the first full-length study of the concept of monumentality in Classical Antiquity, asks what it is that the notion encompasses and how significant it was for the Romans themselves in moulding their individual or collective aspirations and identities. Although no single word existed in antiquity for the qualities that modern authors regard as making up that term, its Latin derivation - from monumentum, 'a monument' - attests plainly to the presence of the concept in the mentalities of ancient Romans, and the development of that notion through the Roman era laid the foundation for the classical ideal of monumentality, which reached a height in early modern Europe. This book is also the first full-length study of architecture in the Antonine Age - when it is generally agreed the Roman Empire was at its height. By exploring the public architecture of Roman Italy and both Western and Eastern provinces of the Roman Empire from the point of view of the benefactors who funded such buildings, the architects who designed them, and the public who used and experienced them, Edmund Thomas analyses the reasons why Roman builders sought to construct monumental buildings and uncovers the close link between architectural monumentality and the identity and ideology of the Roman Empire itself.

Download or read book Consuming Scenography written by Nebojša Tabacki and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longlisted for the PQ Best Publication Award in Performance Design & Scenography 2023 Consuming Scenography offers an insight into contemporary scenographic practice beyond the theatre. It explores the ways in which scenography is used to create a global cultural impact and accelerate profits in the site-specific context of themed shopping malls. It analyses the effect of the architectural, aesthetic, spatial, material and sensory aspects of design through their performative encounters with consumers in order to offer a better understanding of performance design. In the first part the author explores the spatial seduction of an enclosed market space and traces the origins of scenographic temporality in permanent architectonic spaces for trade and commerce, from ancient Greek and Roman roofed markets and Oriental bazaars to 19th-century arcades and department stores to modern-day shopping malls.The second section addresses the site-specific theatricality of the shopping mall, considering the use of performative aspects of scenography in the creation of corporate identity. It engages with production and consumption of experience in themed shopping malls, using historical, aesthetical, social and political lenses. In the final section, the author intertwines fluidity of market changes with flexibility of scenographic matter, drawing attention to both contradictions and prospects that merging of scenography and architecture can bring along. Considering a variety of case studies of themed shopping malls, including the Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai, Terminal 21 in Bangkok, the Villaggio in Doha and Montecasino in Johannesburg, as well as further examples from Europe, USA and Asia – this book provides a wide-ranging critical examination of the ways in which scenographic thinking and practices are exploited in wider cultural contexts for impact, branding, and higher profits.
