From the acclaimed author of A Tragic Honesty: The Life and Work of Richard Yates comes the unforgettable life of John Cheever (1912–1982), a man who spent much of his career impersonating a perfect suburban gentleman, the better to become one of the foremost chroniclers of postwar America “I was born into no true class,” Cheever mused in his ожрщб journal, “and it was my decision, early in life, to insinuate myself into the middle class, like a spy, so that I would have an advantageous position of attack, but I seem now and then to have forgotten my mission and to have taken my disguises too seriously ” Written with unprecedented access to essential sources—including Cheever’s massive journal, only a fraction of which has ever been published—Blake Bailey’s biography reveals the troubled but strangely lovable man behind the disguises, an artist who delighted in the everyday radiance of the world while yearning, above all, “to be illustrious ”Cheever’s was a soul in conflict: he was a proud Yankee who flaunted his lineage while deploring the provincialism of his Quincy, Massachusetts, family circle; a high-school dropout who published his first story at eighteen; a pioneer of suburban realist fiction who continually pushed the boundaries of realism; a dire alcoholic who recovered to write the great novel Falconer; a secret bisexual who struggled with his longings and his fierce homophobia in a revolving door of self-loathing and hedonism We see a man who concealed his anxieties behind the mask of a genial Westchester squire—a paterfamilias in Brooks Brothers clothes whose world was peopled by legendary writers and beautiful women (Malcolm Cowley, Saul Bellow, William Maxwell, Hope Lange, and John Updike, among them); whose groundbreaking work landed him on the covers of Time and Newsweek; a man whose demons and desperation were never quite vanquished by the joy he found in his work Blake Bailey has written a luminous biography, a revelation of a writer of timeless fiction and of the man behind the page.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 784 стр ISBN 1400043948.

This book explores the Daoist encounter with modernity through the activities of Chen Yingning (1880–1969), a famous lay Daoist master, and his group in early twentieth-century Shanghai In contrast to the usual narrative of Daoist decay, with its focus on monastic decline, clerical corruption, and popular superstitions, this study tells ожрщн a story of Daoist resilience, reinvigoration, and revival Between the 1920s and 1940s, Chen led a group of urban lay followers in pursuing Daoist self-cultivation techniques as a way of ensuring health, promoting spirituality, forging cultural self-identity, building community, and strengthening the nation In their efforts to renew and reform Daoism, Chen and his followers became deeply engaged with nationalism, science, the religious reform movements, the new urban print culture, and other forces of modernity Since Chen and his fellow practitioners conceived of the Daoist self-cultivation tradition as a public resource, they also transformed it from an “esoteric” pursuit into a public practice, offering a modernizing society a means of managing the body and the mind and of forging a new cultural, spiritual, and religious identity.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 396 стр ISBN 0674033094.

"Finding one particular thing at one particular time, then letting a world accumulate around it, in rough contingency, nothing quite fitting or not fitting " This is how Dave Hickey describes the work of artist and singer-songwriter Terry Allen, who creates works that proliferate into a constellation of genres as he revisits and revises ожрые his original inspirations A painting may lead to a sculpture, which morphs into a song that takes on many voices and becomes a theatre piece or video installation Yet, in Allen's endlessly evolving art, "nothing that you might actually see in the world is depicted, nothing is even surreal, because surrealism infers a starting point in reality The songs are sung by disembodied voices The stories are told by voices with regional accents The drawings are drawn because otherwise we could not see what they are about, so they are better read as heraldry, or glyphs, or typologies than anything like pictures "Terry Allen is the first comprehensive retrospective of this prolific artist's work It opens with a previously unpublished celebration of Allen by Dave Hickey, then covers his three largest and most important series--JUAREZ, with critical commentary by Dave Hickey; RING, with commentary by Marcia Tucker; and YOUTH IN ASIA, with an interview of Terry Allen and commentary by Dave Hickey It also explores Allen's other significant visual works--installations, public works and bronzes, and sculpture and works on paper Highlighting an equally important part of the artist's oeuvre, Michael Ventura provides an insightful discussion of Allen's music More than two hundred color and black-and-white images flow in and around the texts, providing a sweeping visual gallery of Allen's work in which, as Hickey observes, "not only are there no happy endings There are no endings ".  2010 г Твердый переплет, 312 стр ISBN 029272246X.

Los Angeles is well-known as a temperate paradise with expansive beaches and mountain vistas, a booming luxury housing market, and the home of glamorous Hollywood During the first half of the twentieth century, Los Angeles was also seen as a mecca for both African Americans and a steady stream of migrants from around the country and the world, transforming ожрый Los Angeles into one of the worlda??s most diverse cities The city has become a multicultural maze in which many now fear that the political clout of the regiona??s large black population has been lost Nonetheless, the dream of a better life lives on for black Angelenos today, despite the harsh social and economic conditions many confront Black Los Angeles is the culmination of a groundbreaking research project from the Ralph J Bunche Center for African American Studies at UCLA that presents an in-depth analysis of the historical and contemporary contours of black life in Los Angeles Based on innovative research, the original essays are multi-disciplinary in approach and comprehensive in scope, connecting the dots between the citya??s racial past, present, and future Through historical and contemporary anecdotes, oral histories, maps, photographs, illustrations, and demographic data, we see that Black Los Angeles is and has always been a space of profound contradictions Just as Los Angeles has come to symbolize the complexities of the early twenty-first-century city, so too has Black Los Angeles come to embody the complex realities of race in so-called a??colorblinda?? times Contributors: Melina Abdullah, Alex Alonso, Dionne Bennett, Joshua Bloom, Edna Bonacich, Scot Brown, Reginald Chapple, Lola Smallwood Cuevas, Andrew Deener, Regina Freer, Jooyoung Lee, Mignon R Moore, Lanita Morris, Neva Pemberton, Steven C Pitts, Carrie Petrucci, Gwendelyn Rivera, Paul Robinson, M Belinda Tucker, Paul Von Blum, Mary Weaver, Sonya Winton, and Nancy Wang Yuen.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 432 стр ISBN 081473734X.

"In the course of every human life, moments come?--?often so quietly as to be almost unrecognized?--?that are so subtle and unobtrusive, they pass without one being fully aware of them These moments are like the gentle tones of birds singing in their sleep, the faint sound of a bell ringing far away, or the gentle touch of an invisible hand "Nevertheless, all ожрщз these moments, perceived or unperceived, are manifestations of destiny in each human life, `the evidence of things not seen ' They express the secret language of the heart and invite one to begin a journey They involve taking important steps on a life path, which one senses instinctively will ultimately lead to the light of one's own higher self and into the world of spiritual reality, the `land' where the real foundations of life purposes are to be found Thus, one sets out on a path that can lead to the unfolding of the unique mystery of each individual life story Such is the substance of the journey described in these pages " --Paul Marshall Allen Paul Marshall Allen was born into a Quaker family on June 26, 1913, in the small upstate New York village of Conquest The life that followed was as varied outwardly as it was deeply committed inwardly to following a path of knowledge He was a teacher, actor, writer, and publisher, each role connecting him with the world as a "Rosicrucian soul " For Paul, the most important event of destiny occurred when he encountered Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science through the actor Michael Chekhov, leading Paul to dedicate his life to Anthroposophy as a path of inner knowledge and activity in the world In A Rosicrucian Soul, Pooler takes the reader on a journey through the life of a man who profoundly affected everyone he encountered During the early days of Anthroposophy in North America, Paul delved deeply into Rudolf Steiner's works and became the "first American-born anthroposophic lecturer," traveling across the continent and bringing the few, far-flung Anthroposophic Society members in North America a greater sense of unity and purpose In New York City, with Bernie Garber, he began publishing the works of Rudolf Steiner and, with Carlo Pietzner, compiled A Christian Rosenkreutz Anthology Paul Allen eventually started his own publishing company, St George Book Service, a mail-order book business in western Massachusetts Later, destiny took Paul and his wife, architect Joan deRis Allen, to Camphill villages in the British Isles and Norway, where they lived, as Paul produced numerous plays, the most significant of which were Rudolf Steiner's four mystery dramas Throughout this life story, as outer events unfold, the reader is guided to a sense of the inner activities of this very Rosicrucian soul and, perhaps more important, to glimpses of how each of us affects each other through our inner struggles and consequent actions.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 328 стр ISBN 1584200677.

Weary from the turbulent sixties, America entered the 1970s hoping for calm Instead, the war in Vietnam and its troubled aftermath persisted, the Watergate scandal unfolded, and continuing social unrest at home and abroad provided the backdrop for the new decade The scene was similar in Hollywood, as it experienced greater upheaval than at any ожрщу point since the coming of sound As the studio and star systems declined, actors had more power than ever, and because many had become fiercely politicized by the temper of the times, the movies they made were often more challenging than before Thus, just when it might have faded out, Hollywood was reborn--but what was the nature of this rebirth?Hollywood Reborn examines this question, with contributors focusing on many of the era's key figures--noteworthy actors such as Jane Fonda, Al Pacino, Faye Dunaway, and Warren Beatty, and unexpected artists, among them Donald Sutherland, Shelley Winters, and Divine Each essay offers new perspectives through the lens of an important star, illuminating in the process some of the most fascinating and provocative films of the decade.  2010 г Твердый переплет, 272 стр ISBN 0813547482.

This is the first biography of the last and greatest British idealist philosopher, R G Collingwood (1889-1943), a man who both thought and lived at full pitch Best known today for his philosophies of history and art, Collingwood was also a historian, archaeologist, sailor, artist, and musician A figure of enormous energy and ambition, he took as ожрщю his subject nothing less than the whole of human endeavor, and he lived in the same way, seeking to experience the complete range of human passion In this vivid and swiftly paced narrative, Fred Inglis tells the dramatic story of a remarkable life, from Collingwood's happy Lakeland childhood to his successes at Oxford, his archaeological digs as a renowned authority on Roman Britain, his solo sailing adventures in the English Channel, his long struggle with illness, and his sometimes turbulent romantic life In a manner unheard of today, Collingwood attempted to gather all aspects of human thought into a single theory of practical experience, and he wrote sweeping accounts of history, art, science, politics, metaphysics, and archaeology, as well as a highly regarded autobiography Above all, he dedicated his life to arguing that history--not science--is the only source of moral and political wisdom and self-knowledge Linking the intellectual and personal sides of Collingwood's life, and providing a rich history of his milieu, History Man also assesses Collingwood's influence on generations of scholars after his death and the renewed recognition of his importance and interest today.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 400 стр ISBN 0691130140.
