Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This edition of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights is accompanied by an informative foreword and introduction. On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a ground-breaking proclamation: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This milestone document, m…ade up of thirty articles, set out for the first time the fundamental human rights that must be protected by all nations. The full text of that document is reproduced in this book alongside a foreword by human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. John Pinfold's general introduction explores the Declaration's origins, touching on the 'Four Freedoms' described by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the role his wife Eleanor Roosevelt took on as chair of the Human Rights Commission and of the drafting committee, and the parts played by other key international members of the Commission. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was a pioneering achievement in the wake of the Second World War. It continues to provide a basis for international human rights law, making the document's aims as relevant today as when they were first adopted.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Offering a combination of place-writing, memoir, and cultural study, Peter Davidson examines the motif of the lighted window. Homecoming, haunting, nostalgia, desire. These are some of the themes evoked by the beguiling image of the lighted window. In this innovative book, Peter Davidson is our guid…e, taking us on atmospheric walks through nocturnal cities in Britain, Europe, North America, and the field paths of rural England. Surveying a wide range of material, the book extends from early romantic painting to contemporary fiction. Davidson features familiar lighted windows in English literature, turning to the works of poets such as Thomas Hardy and Matthew Arnold and the novels of Virginia Woolf, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Kenneth Grahame. The Lighted Window also considers the painted nocturnes of James Whistler, John Atkinson Grimshaw, and the ruralist Samuel Palmer; Japanese prints of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; Proust and the painters of the French belle époque; René Magritte's L'Empire des Lumières; and North American painters such as Edward Hopper and Linden Frederick. By interpreting the interactions of art, literature, and geography around this evocative motif, Peter Davidson shows how the lighted window has inspired an extraordinary variety of moods and ideas, from the romantic period to the present day.
