Book Synopsis Romancing the Hellfish by : Jason MF Jacobs
Download or read book Romancing the Hellfish written by Jason MF Jacobs and published by Jason MF Jacobs. This book was released on 2021-07-17 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine for a moment that you are in school. Your literature teacher has given you yet another book to read, and you loathe it just ten pages in. Maybe you would like reading if the writers you were forced to endure weren't drier than a stale baguette. Perhaps you would care a bit more about the plot if getting through it didn't feel like wading through molasses-topped quicksand. What if one of these "classic" novels truly spoke to you? Wonder no longer; meet your retroactive catharsis. This is the tale of a down-on-his-luck Cuban fisherman, an unreasonably large fish, and the fisherman's rapid descent into utter madness. An exceedingly irreverent parody of a certain novella with a truly twisted sense of humor dripping from each page, it is everything every other book about a man fighting a fish was too afraid to be. Full of profanity, drugs, and pure unadulterated fish-based action, Romancing the Hellfish is probably the only book about fish you will ever like, provided you hate books about fish.
Book Synopsis The Simpsons and Philosophy by : William Irwin
Download or read book The Simpsons and Philosophy written by William Irwin and published by Open Court. This book was released on 2001-02-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unconventional and lighthearted introduction to the ideas of the major Western philosophers examines The Simpsons — TV’s favorite animated family. The authors look beyond the jokes, the crudeness, the attacks on society — and see a clever display of irony, social criticism, and philosophical thought. The writers begin with an examination of the characters. Does Homer actually display Aristotle’s virtues of character? In what way does Bart exemplify American pragmatism? The book also examines the ethics and themes of the show, and concludes with discussions of how the series reflects the work of Aristotle, Marx, Camus, Sartre, and other thinkers.

Book Synopsis Chasing Portraits by : Elizabeth Rynecki
Download or read book Chasing Portraits written by Elizabeth Rynecki and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoir of one woman’s emotional quest to find the art of her Polish-Jewish great-grandfather, lost during World War II. Moshe Rynecki’s body of work reached close to eight hundred paintings and sculptures before his life came to a tragic end. It was his great-granddaughter Elizabeth who sought to rediscover his legacy, setting upon a journey to seek out what had been lost but never forgotten… The everyday lives of the Polish-Jewish community depicted in Moshe Rynecki’s paintings simply blended into the background of Elizabeth Rynecki’s life when she was growing up. But the art transformed from familiar to extraordinary in her eyes after her grandfather, Moshe’s son George, left behind journals detailing the loss her ancestors had endured during World War II, including Moshe’s art. Knowing that her family had only found a small portion of Moshe’s art, and that many more pieces remained to be found, Elizabeth set out to find them. Before Moshe was deported to the ghetto, he entrusted his work to friends who would keep it safe. After he was killed in the Majdanek concentration camp, the art was dispersed all over the world. With the help of historians, curators, and admirers of Moshe’s work, Elizabeth began the incredible and difficult task of rebuilding his collection. Spanning three decades of Elizabeth’s life and three generations of her family, this touching memoir is a compelling narrative of the richness of one man’s art, the devastation of war, and one woman’s unexpected path to healing.

Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award The real story behind the major motion picture The Monuments Men. The cast of characters includes Hitler and Goering, Gertrude Stein and Marc Chagall--not to mention works by artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Pablo Picasso. And the story told in this superbly researched and suspenseful book is that of the Third Reich's war on European culture and the Allies' desperate effort to preserve it. From the Nazi purges of "Degenerate Art" and Goering's shopping sprees in occupied Paris to the perilous journey of the Mona Lisa from Paris and the painstaking reclamation of the priceless treasures of liberated Italy, The Rape of Europa is a sweeping narrative of greed, philistinism, and heroism that combines superlative scholarship with a compelling drama.
