Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holbein's famous life-size double portrait 'The Ambassadors' is one of the best known of his surviving works. Yet the subject matter has always presented intriguing problems. Who precisely were the two ambassadors of the title? Why did they choose to be painted together - with an array of globes, astronomical and musical instruments, books and other objects placed on shelves between them, a skull concealed in the foreground of the painting, and a crucifix partially hidden behind a curtain? The recent careful cleaning and restoration of 'The Ambassadors' has enabled an art historian, conservator, and scientist at the National Gallery in London to collaborate on a thorough study of the making and meaning of this painting.

Book Synopsis The AMBASSADORS Annotated Book by : Henry James
Download or read book The AMBASSADORS Annotated Book written by Henry James and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 635 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ambassadors is divided into twelve sections known as "books." In 1903, those sections have been posted, in serial form, in a magazine called The North American Review. Later that 12 months, the unconventional was published as an entire, although there have been substantial edits. Additional revisions have been made in the 1909 edition of the work, as part of the New York Edition of James' amassed writings. Furthermore, the 1903 novel changed into posted in each the United Kingdom and in the US - and there are versions among those works as nicely. In sum, James' incessant revisions and flexibility of posted shape have produced a singular with over 200 "editorial notes." These range from the dramatic to the subtle. Whole sections of books are rearranged or brought (as an instance, the first chapter of Book Eights is completely unnoticed in The North American Review). Within this section, James uses the phrase "relief" in his UK and US 1903 editions - handiest to update the word "remedy" with the phrase "justice" in 1909. Some of the changes are instead laughable whilst considered out of doors in their narrowest narrative context - are those the corrections of typographical mistakes (Newcome becomes Newsome), or has James modified his thoughts (unjust becomes just), or has James come to be meaner in his older age (horrific will become American)?Consider some others: She turned into frank turns into She regarded to don't have any reserves; a gift will become a sacrifice; inbred becomes ascetic; and humorous becomes queer.The Ambassadors presentations Henry James as a creator writing at the total peak of his powers. By this time, James had already installed a name for himself in literary circles, both within the US and in Europe. Daisy Miller, written in 1879, changed into a publishing fulfillment and it set up James as a writer of the transatlantic "international" sort. The main individual of The Ambassadors, Lewis Lambert Strether, is known as for a individual in a singular written by means of Honor?

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In the far future, humans have colonized a distant planet, home to the enigmatic Ariekei, sentient beings famed for a language unique in the universe, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak. Avice Benner Cho, a human colonist, has returned to Embassytown after years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue, but she is an indelible part of it, having long ago been made a figure of speech, a living simile in their language. When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka, the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms, and Avice is torn between competing loyalties: to a husband she no longer loves, to a system she no longer trusts, and to her place in a language she cannot speak—but which speaks through her, whether she likes it or not. Praise for Embassytown “A breakneck tale of suspense . . . disturbing and beautiful by turns. I cannot emphasize enough how terrific this novel is. It's definitely one of the best books I've read in the past year, perfectly balanced between escapism and otherworldly philosophizing.”—io9 “Embassytown is a fully achieved work of art. . . . Works on every level, providing compulsive narrative, splendid intellectual rigour and risk, moral sophistication, fine verbal fireworks and sideshows, and even the old-fashioned satisfaction of watching a protagonist become more of a person than she gave promise of being.”—Ursula K Le Guin “The Kafkaesque writer journeys to the distant edges of the universe in his latest sci-fi thriller.”—Entertainment Weekly “Utterly astonishing . . . A major intellectual achievement.”—Kirkus Reviews “Brilliant storytelling . . . The result is a world masterfully wrecked and rebuilt.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Book Synopsis The Ambassador's Secret by : John North
Download or read book The Ambassador's Secret written by John North and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ambassadors--the famous portrait of two diplomats visiting Henry VIII's court in London 1533--has long been celebrated by art historians. Traditionally the painting has been seen as representing the political and religious unrest of its day. Now, historian John North, author of Stonehenge: A New Interpretation of Prehistoric Man and the Cosmos, once again uses his investigative skills to reinterpret history. In this radical reinterpretation of the painting John North shows that the work has a very different and previously undetected, central theme. Far from being random, the objects are very deliberately placed. Part international riddle, part art history, and part French history, the book opens a remarkable window on the world of the Renaissance.

There were the precious moments alone in her room at night, gazing at the sea of stars. But there were sad times too—the painful jealousy Julie felt after her sister married, the tragic death of a schoolmate and the bitter disappointment of her first love. Julie was having a hard time believing life was fair. But Julie would have to be fair to herself before she could even think about new beginnings... “Hunt demonstrates that she is a writer of the first rank...Those who follow Julie's growth—from a tantrum-throwing seven-year-old to a gracious young woman of seventeen—will find this book has added a new dimension to their lives.”—The New York Times Book Review

Just when Chad seems willing to co back home to Woollett, it is Strether who convinces the young man to stay in Paris for a little while longer.Strether's fate quickly runs downhill. Mrs. Newsome sends her daughter, Sarah Pocock (Chad's sister), to bring Chad home. Sarah arrives with her husband, Jim Pocock, and her sister-in-law, Mamie Pocock. It is suggested that Chad will return home to marry Mamie Pocock and continue in the family business: advertising. Unlike Strether, Sarah Pocock is not amused by Society and its trappings, nor is she impressed with the Countess, nor is she inspired by the architecture and atmosphere of Paris. Sarah intends to do her job and she does it quickly. It does not take very long for Chad to get himself ready to leave Paris. His condition to Sarah is that he will agree to return home if Strether gives him the word. Sarah turns to Strether, considering that the task has been completed - for how could Strether refuse? This is, however, exactly what Strether does.
