Levitov (105 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. I think I get it, Betty Levitov's youngest student said, sitting on a porch in Harare, Zimbabwe. You've had a potentially fatal disease, and faced death, and now you'll do just about anything. The student was trying to fathom why a teacher would take thirteen kids from a small midwestern liberal arts college on a three-month trek across Africa. The answer, a learning experience like no other, unfolds in Levitov's thoroughly engaging account of her life-changing stint as a mwalimu (teacher in Swahili) with an Australian bus driver and thirteen college kids from Nebraska in tow. The group's wanderings take them-and us-through seven countries. Through dhow trips and donkey rides on the Swahili island of Lamu, scuba diving and spice tours in Zanzibar, camping in the Namib Desert, and swimming on the edge of a cataract at Victoria Falls, we encounter remarkable people, new customs, and intriguing arts (along with malaria, flat tires, a bike accident, and a hostage crisis). As the students apprentice themselves to African cooks, fishermen, carvers, and batik artists, we discover with them a subtle and complex connection among people normally worlds apart. Betty Levitov is a professor of English at Doane College, where she specializes in African literature, African studies, and Holocaust literature.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. In the early 20th century, Baltimore sisters Claribel and Etta Cone first visited the Paris studios of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso and began assembling one of the world's most important art collections. Their passion for Matisse's art, in particular, led them to acquire 500 of his works - one of the most extraordinary Matisse collections in history. Supported by the Cone family textile business, the sisters made annual trips to Europe to purchase art and their close friendship with Gertrude and Leo Stein led to a wide circle of influential acquaintances. They eventually amassed a collection of 3,000 works, which were donated to the Baltimore Museum of Art after Etta Cone's death in 1949. This publication gathers 50 works from the internationally renowned Cone Collection including paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by Matisse, Picasso, Gauguin, Renoir, van Gogh, Courbet, and other masters. Karen Levitov's essay recounts the story of the Cone sisters, their tastes, and their remarkable collection. Levitov also discusses what distinguished their connoisseurship from their contemporaries, particularly their Jewish peers.…
