Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this internationally acclaimed novel, Steve Sem-Sandberg brilliantly refracts the story of Georg Büchner's groundbreaking play Woyzeck through a new lens.W., the astonishing novel by August Prizewinning author Steve Sem-Sandberg, is a literary reimagining of one of modern literature's touchstone texts, the play Woyzeck. Considered the first modern drama, Woyzeck tells the story of a loyal soldier and survivor of the Napoleonic Wars who, in a fit of jealous rage, kills the woman he loves. In 1836 this true story inspired Georg Bu chner to write the play, unfinished at his death at just 23 years old.W. grippingly recounts the lovers' relationship, the murder case, and the soldier's execution. The story unfolds as the soldier W. struggles to recount the events of his life. He grasps at understanding and experiences feelings of time and timelessness. He finds patterns and repetitions, but these are of no interest to those determining his fate. Sem-Sandberg searched court archives to bring new light to this story, and he masterfully sustains a rich period atmosphere through poetic and controlled prose, down to the choice of pronouns as the soldier is held at a cold distance in court proceedings when addressed with the formal, capitalized "You." Against a landscape devastated by inhumanity and greed that yet manages to sustain hope, Steve Sem-Sandberg's W. tells a ruthless, moving, and utterly relevant story as the soldier W. desperately and humanly fights to make something of the life given to him."Cogent and affecting . . . In Mr. Sem-Sandberg's fine novel, the tragedy is real but much more specific and conditional. It gives us, the readers, just enough of a loophole to evade its reckonings." Wall Street Journal.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Lauren Palmor's Bouquets of Art isa gorgeous compendium that illuminates the rich history of floriography through the lens of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's expansive collection. This volume draws upon the rich history of the language of flowers in order to offer a new perspective through which to explore the permanent collection of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Featuring a sampling of floral imagery selected from across cultures, periods, and media, this guide builds on the methods of floriography as a means for navigating how the collection's expansive array of objects intersects with the rich histories of floral symbolism and communication. Looking across the Fine Arts Museums' holdings of American art, works on paper, costume and textile arts, European painting, and European decorative arts and sculpture, this selection of 50 floral objects presents the collection through a new lens, with accompanying texts that explore a rich variety of source material, including poetry, etymology, folklore, botany, popular music, biblical verse, mythology, histories of exploration and colonization, and systems of belief. A branch of azaleas recalls lines of poetry from the oldest extant collection of Japanese verse; the deep purple irises of a stained-glass window suggest the myth of Iris, the Greek goddess who carried messages of love from heaven to Earth; and a lemon blossom atop a piece of French soft-paste porcelain evokes the lyrics of a 1960s pop song. These connections reinforce an essential aspect of art appreciation: If approached with a keen eye, an open heart, and a curious mind, any artwork can be placed at the center of its own constellation of associations.…
