Book excerpt: Ikon presents the first UK museum exhibition, the largest to date, of acclaimed Romanian artist Victor Man. Born in Transylvania, Man's work brings together disparate references to his birthplace with its 'folk' traditional and myths, as well as allusions to more recent Eastern European history.This exhibition, organised in collaboration with the Centre international d'art et du paysage de l' ile de Vassiviere, comprises new painting and sculpture. Richly evocative, dark in both palette and imagery, to suggest a voyeuristic gaze, Man's works signify an alternative world beyond familiar experience. This is enhanced by the artist's technique of using a 'black' mirror, a device which distances the act of visualisation for both himself and us. Images of women, wolves and gloves recur across several pieces, sometimes eroticised; notions of the unconscious, a surreal nether-world where new codes exist are conveyed."
Book Synopsis Victor Lustig by : Christopher Sandford
Download or read book Victor Lustig written by Christopher Sandford and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period after the First World War was a golden age for the confidence man. 'A new kind of entrepreneur is stirring amongst us,' The Times wrote in 1919. 'He is prone to the most detestable tactics, and is a stranger to charity and public spirit. One may nonetheless note his acuity in separating others from their money.' Enter Victor Lustig (not his real name). An Austro-Hungarian with a dark streak, by the age of 16 he had learned how to hustle at billiards and lay odds at the local racecourse. By 19 he had acquired a livid facial scar in an altercation with a jealous husband. That blemish aside, he was a man of athletic good looks, with a taste for larceny and foreign intrigue. He spoke six languages and went under nearly as many aliases in the course of a continent-hopping life that also saw him act as a double (or possibly triple) agent. Along the way, he found time to dupe an impressive variety of banks and hotels on both sides of the Atlantic; to escape from no fewer than three supposedly impregnable prisons; and to swindle Al Capone out of thousands of dollars, while living to tell the tale. Undoubtedly the greatest of his hoaxes was the sale, to a wealthy but gullible Parisian scrap-metal dealer, of the Eiffel Tower in 1925. In a narrative that thrills like a crime caper, best-selling biographer Christopher Sandford draws on newly released documents to tell the whole story of the greatest conman of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Moving away from the explicitly political content of his previous novels, Victor Hugo turns to social commentary in The Man Who Laughs, an 1869 work that was made into a popular film in the 1920s. The plot deals with a band of miscreants who deliberately deform children to make them more effective beggars, as well as the long-lasting emotional and social damage that this abhorrent practice inflicts upon its victims.

Download or read book Lenin written by Victor Sebestyen and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victor Sebestyen's riveting biography of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin—the first major biography in English in nearly two decades—is not only a political examination of one of the most important historical figures of the twentieth century but also a fascinating portrait of Lenin the man. Brought up in comfort and with a passion for hunting and fishing, chess, and the English classics, Lenin was radicalized after the execution of his brother in 1887. Sebestyen traces the story from Lenin's early years to his long exile in Europe and return to Petrograd in 1917 to lead the first Communist revolution in history. Uniquely, Sebestyen has discovered that throughout Lenin's life his closest relationships were with his mother, his sisters, his wife, and his mistress. The long-suppressed story told here of the love triangle that Lenin had with his wife, Nadezhda Krupskaya, and his beautiful, married mistress and comrade, Inessa Armand, reveals a more complicated character than that of the coldly one-dimensional leader of the Bolshevik Revolution. With Lenin's personal papers and those of other leading political figures now available, Sebestyen gives is new details that bring to life the dramatic and gripping story of how Lenin seized power in a coup and ran his revolutionary state. The product of a violent, tyrannical, and corrupt Russia, he chillingly authorized the deaths of thousands of people and created a system based on the idea that political terror against opponents was justified for a greater ideal. An old comrade what had once admired him said that Lenin "desired the good . . . but created evil." This included his invention of Stalin, who would take Lenin's system of the gulag and the secret police to horrifying new heights. In Lenin, Victor Sebestyen has written a brilliant portrait of this dictator as a complex and ruthless figure, and he also brings to light important new revelations about the Russian Revolution, a pivotal point in modern history. (With 16 pages of black-and-white photographs)

Book Synopsis Unreasonable Men by : Victor J. Seidler
Download or read book Unreasonable Men written by Victor J. Seidler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This much needed book is the first to show how dominant forms of masculinity are implicated in the traditions of social theory that have emerged since the Enlightenment. The author shows how an 'unreasonable' form of reason has emerged from the separation of reason from emotion, mind from body, nature from culture, public from private, matter from spirit - the dualities that have shaped our vision of modernity. The book argues that men need to explore critically their power and experience which has been rendered invisible by the dominant traditions of social theory. Instead of legislating for others they have to learn to speak more personally for themselves.

Rex Carver wants a holiday—is determined to have one, in fact. So, when millionaire Cavan O’Dowda attempts to hire him to track down some stolen property, the answer is a flat “No.” Until, that is, Cavan’s beautiful daughter, Julia, arrives to collect him. The property in question is a top-of-the-range Mercedes, missing in France somewhere between Evian and Cannes; the driver turned up in Cannes without the car, and with no memory of the prior forty-eight hours. O’Dowda wants the vehicle, and the papers concealed within it, recovered at any cost . . . The Bond of private investigators sets out on his final mission, perfect for fans of Elmore Leonard and Raymond Chandler. Praise for the writing of Victor Canning “A sheer master.” —The New York Times Book Review “Mr. Canning’s inventiveness never flags for a moment.” —The Daily Telegraph “Worthy to stand beside John le Carré.” —Publishers Weekly “Witty and well crafted.” —Mystery File
