Book excerpt: Ambient Modifiers, or Ambimods, are a carnivorous species hunted to the very edge of extinction by the human race. Unable to hunt their prey freely, they hide among the shadows to preserve their numbers. However, one of them takes up an unbelievable task. Lila van Shilon decides to leave the safety of her remaining Ambimod race and chooses to live amongst the very prey she was trained to hunt. Donning a human form, she moves to the city of Esguir and starts a long and arduous process of becoming one of the citizenry. The peace and quiet turns to a cacophony when fate brings the troubled artist Cole Archford, a man with nothing but ambition to spur him on. What begins as a shaky friendship soon turns into a fight for control, and Lila soon finds herself becoming the prey.

Book excerpt: The Danish neoclassical sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770–1844), who lived most of his life in Rome, was not only one of Europe’s most soughtafter artists; he was also a collector. In addition to his own works and drawings, he built extensive collections of paintings, prints, drawings and books – and of ancient artefacts from Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquity: coins, lockets, containers, vases, lamps, fragments of sculpture and more. He also acquired a large collection of plaster casts, primarily after ancient sculptures and reliefs, but also of works dating from the Renaissance and up until his own lifetime. Thanks to Thorvaldsen’s bequest to the city of Copenhagen, his birthplace, all of these collections are still largely intact and well preserved at his museum. Home to a total of 657 plaster casts, the Thorvaldsen Museum’s cast collection is unique for several reasons: The collection offers us insight into the sculptor’s working methods and the development of his work because it served a clear function as an image bank of forms, motifs and subjects for Thorvaldsen’s own endeavours. Furthermore, the dual fact that the collection is so well preserved and was established over a relatively brief period of time makes it a valuable example illuminating the trade and distribution of plaster casts during the first half of the nineteenth century. These areas of study form the central focal point of Volume I of this publication. Volume II contains a catalogue of the individual objects in the cast collection, while Volume III collects the overviews, inventories, concordances and primary sources referred to in the first two volumes. Arising out of many years of study of Thorvaldsen’s cast collection conducted by their author, the classical archaeologist Jan Zahle, these books contain comprehensive source material from the period, much of it previously unknown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Muse That Sings is a unique behind-the-scenes look at both twentieth-century music and the nuts and bolts of creative work. Here, twenty-five of America's leading composers--from Adams to Zorn, from Bolcom to Vierk--talk candidly about their craft, their motivations, their difficulties, and how they how proceed from musical idea to finished composition. While focusing on the process and the stories behind specific works, the composers also touch on topics that will interest anyone involved in creative work. They discuss teachers and mentors, the task of revision, relationships with performers, and the ongoing struggle for a balance between freedom and discipline. They reveal sources of inspiration, artistic goals, and the often unexpected ways their musical ideas develop. Some describe personal tonal systems; others discuss the impact of computers and other electronic tools on their work; still others reflect philosophically on the inner impulses and outer influences that continue to drive them. While serious music has a reputation for being difficult and inaccessible, The Muse That Sings provides a powerful antidote. The composers in this book speak clearly and thoughtfully in response to key questions of concern to all readers interested in contemporary music. Each interview has been edited to stand alone as a concise meditation on muse and technique, and the book includes selected discographies as well as brief biographical sketches. Anyone with an interest in twentieth-century music or in the creative process will find this lively collection a valuable source of inspiration and insight.

This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latin Poems of Manilius Cabacius Rallus of Sparta presents the poetic oeuvre of a forgotten poet of Renaissance Rome. A Greek by birth, Manilius Cabacius Rallus (c. 1447–c. 1523) spent most of his life far from his motherland, unable to return. Through his poems, composed in a range of metres and genres, Rallus engaged with some major events and personalities of his time, including Angelo Poliziano, Ianus Lascaris, and Pope Leo X. His poems also reflect on timeless human experiences such as helplessness in the face of fortune and nostalgia for what is lost. Han Lamers edited the Latin text of Rallus’ poems (most of them printed for the last time in 1520) and added annotations and an English prose translation.

Book excerpt: Denis Feeney is one of the most distinguished scholars of Latin literature and Roman culture in the world of the last half-century. These two volumes conveniently collect and present afresh all his major papers, covering a wide range of topics and interests. Ancient epic is a major focus, followed by Latin lyric, historiography and elegy. Ancient literary criticism and the technology of the book are recurrent themes. Many papers address the problems of literary responses to religion and ritual, with an interdisciplinary methodology drawing on comparative anthropology and religion. The transition from Republic to Empire and the emergence of the Augustan principate form the background to the majority of the papers, and the question of how literary texts are to be read in historical context is addressed throughout. All quotations from ancient and modern languages have now been translated and Stephen Hinds has contributed a foreword.

Book excerpt: Kitra and Bayn’s arrival in Erstwynd goes without a hitch. Through the city-state’s dress of snow and ice, they carve out a life for themselves different from the technological one they left in Favil. But this peace is short-lived; old fears come running back, and they find themselves in Madame Hilda’s crosshairs once more. Favil’s leader changes the course of her city-state when she realizes that a group of recruits can be used as expendable forces. While carrying out the missions given to them, Linnear and Hilsur find themselves at moralistic odds. Chetra is driven by her own goals. The divide between the Inyan threatens to tear the survivors apart, with no reconciliation in sight. An unforeseen convergence leads to the beginning of war, and Neuria’s fate hangs in the balance.

Book excerpt: Iivali is one of many Kuaffa, an otherworldly species born from the stars. However, their lives are terribly short. Their goal? To travel to the outer reaches of the galaxy so their lives can end in fervor. But the journey is not so easy. Human Hunters scour the galaxy in search of the Kuaffa, driving the starborn creatures to near-extinction. However, one Hunter puts his life on the line in order to save what remains of them. When the two meet, what follows is the beginning of a journey with revelations that will rock the galaxy—and everything that exists within it—to its core.
