Book Synopsis Gleaming Coffins. Iconography and Symbolism in Theban Coffin Decoration (21st Dynasty) by : Rogério Sousa
Download or read book Gleaming Coffins. Iconography and Symbolism in Theban Coffin Decoration (21st Dynasty) written by Rogério Sousa and published by Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra / Coimbra University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egyptian coffin decoration is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon with its own history and evolution. ‘Yellow’ coffins were crafted in Thebes during a particular critical period in the Egyptian History, witnessing to a situation of political unrest and severe economic scarcity affecting Egypt, the Near East and the Mediterranean. And yet, there is no evidence for a decline in the production of these outstanding funerary artefacts. On the contrary, the corpus of ‘yellow’ coffins outnumbers the previous types of Egyptian anthropoid containers and stands out among the most complex and sophisticated objects ever crafted in the Ancient World. Besides this historical paradox, the ‘yellow’ corpus presents important epistemological challenges for our understanding of Egyptian material culture: what kind of space is created within the walls and forms of an anthropoid coffin? What role plays variability and change in this process? Last but not the least, can we understand the meaning behind the multiple shapes and endless variations adopted in coffin decoration during this period? This book addresses these questions presenting the results of a comparative study on coffin decoration involving an extensive sample of objects from the ‘yellow’ corpus dispersed in museums around the world. The results of this study reveal the principles of composition that ruled the work of the ancient Theban craftsmen and show how important coffin decoration was for the Theban priesthood of Amun to convey their own corporative values.
Download or read book Coffin Honey written by Todd Davis and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Coffin Honey, his seventh book of poems, celebrated poet Todd Davis explores the many forms of violence we do to each other and to the other living beings with whom we share the planet. Here racism, climate collapse, and pandemic, as well as the very real threat of extinction—both personal and across ecosystems—are dramatized in intimate portraits of Rust-Belt Appalachia: a young boy who has been sexually assaulted struggles with dreams of revenge and the possible solace that nature might provide; a girl whose boyfriend has enlisted in the military faces pregnancy alone; and a bear named Ursus navigates the fecundity of the forest after his own mother’s death, literally crashing into the encroaching human world. Each poem in Coffin Honey seeks to illuminate beauty and suffering, the harrowing precipice we find ourselves walking nearer to in the twenty-first century. As with his past prize-winning volumes, Davis, whose work Orion Magazine likens to that of Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver, names the world with love and care, demonstrating what one reviewer describes as his knowledge of “Latin names, common names, habitats, and habits . . . steeped in the exactness of the earth and the science that unfolds in wildness.”

Coffin learns that all of his ghosts are not behind him when a parcel containing dismembered limbs is found outside a woman's refuge. The Serena Seddon Shelter for battered wives is located on Barrow Street, not far from Coffin's own home. But the link to Coffin is more sinister than mere proximity: his initials are written on the package and the shelter is housed in the building where he lived when he first arrived in the Second City. This discovery opens a door through which troop a succession of horrible and violent events including sudden death. Coffin's Ghost is another sterling entry in a series that has been continually praised for its ability to delve into the darker side of life and will leave readers wondering just how safe their secrets are.

Book Synopsis Broken Kaleidoscope Syndrome by : Mila Kraabel
Download or read book Broken Kaleidoscope Syndrome written by Mila Kraabel and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two years after Uncle Stalin led the Soviets to victory in the Great Patriotic War, Mama brings Mila home from the delivery ward. Aunt Nastya takes one look at the baby and states her heels are too skinny, a sign she doesn’t belong to this world. Could Aunt Nastya be right? Is Mama doomed to lose her precious newborn? Eighteen months later, Mila miraculously survives one of the world’s deadliest earthquakes in Ashkhabad, the capital of the Soviet Republic of Turkmenistan. In the wake of the destruction, her family has no choice but to bury the dead and forge ahead, trusting the Great Architect of Communism will provide for them once again. Broken Kaleidoscope Syndrome is a remarkable memoir and revelatory coming-of-age story about growing up in one of the far-flung Soviet republics in Central Asia. From beekeeping as a child in the desert and sipping her first glass of Ter-Bash, to grappling with a culture of corruption and bribery, Kraabel offers an intimate, unblinking look at life in the Motherland, where camels roam the desert and pungent aromas of melons and herbs waft in the streets. As Mila grows, she questions the ideals that fuel the communist machine, wondering whether the future is as bright as dear Uncle Stalin said.
