by Eleanor Mccallie Cooper and William Liu

0327.40  32  363

 

 

 

 

 

内容简介:

In 1928, Grace Divine, daughter of a conservative Chattanooga family, came to New York City, accompanied by her mother, to study opera singing. Liu Fu-chi, a scholarship student studying engineering at Columbia, lived in the same building. They met. They became friends. Only after Fu-chi left for further study in Germany did they realize they had fallen in love.
Fu-chi renounced his scholarship and returned to
New York. They became engaged. An interracial marriage was illegal in Tennessee; her brothers came to intervene. Nonetheless, in 1932 at the height of the Depression, Grace and Fu-chi went to City Hall and were married.
He left for
China to look for a job. Pregnant, Grace stayed behind. Then, when the baby could travel, she went to join her husband in Tientsin. She was to remain in China for the next forty years, through the Japanese Occupation, the fall of the Nationalist Government and the Cultural Revolution.
This biography, composed in large part of Grace Liu's letters and the memoir she began, has been compiled by her cousin, Eleanor McCallie Cooper, who lives in
Chattanooga and her surviving child, William Liu, who now lives in Vancouver.

 

 

 

 

作者简介:

Eleanor Mccallie Cooper, Grace’s cousin, lived in Berkeley, California with Grace during the year before her death.

Federico

by Tullio Kezich

费里尼传

源语:意大利文

0525.00  32  417

 

 

 

 

 

内容简介:

In this profile, destined to become a reference point for any future study on the author of 8 1/2, Kezich, personal friend of Federico Fellini for more than 40 years, gives plenty of space to private aspects. For the first time, the fiftieth anniversary of the wedding with Giulia Masina and the consequent artistic union are described by an eye-witness. Following many up-to-date researches, Kezich discovers many news regarding the conception and production of films, such as, for example, the importance of Dino Buzzati's contribution to the script of Il viaggio di G. Mastorna.
Kezich also focuses his attention on the contradictory relationship Fellini had with occultism and spiritism. The book also evokes his relationships with legendary producers, such as Dino De Laurentiis, on the basis of original unedited documents.

 

Federico Fellini 1993 年去世。他曾五次获得奥斯卡金奖,与英格玛·伯格曼、安德·塔尔科夫斯基并称为世界现代艺术电影的圣三位一体,是60年代以来欧洲艺术电影难以逾越的最高峰。费里尼更是以他强烈的个人标记——“费里尼风格,引导了战后意大利的精神进程。作品:《卡比里亚之夜》、
《扬帆》、《我记得,想当年》、《八部半》、《甜蜜生活》、《罗马》、《爱情神话》等。

Mediterranean Winter: The Pleasures of History and Landscape in Tunisia, Sicily, Dalmatia, and Greece

by Robert D. Kaplan

0233.00  32  254

 

 

内容简介:

Mediterranean Winter is the story of an education. It is filled with memories and history, not the author’s alone, but humanity’s as well.

 

“In this colorful book, we watch the author—America’s premier traveler and ‘muddy boots’ analyst—grow from an uncertain twenty-year-old to an adept, mature commentator. The book cuts back and forth across the decades, from the docks of Tunis to the sunburned hills of Sicily and across to Athens, which Kaplan early recognized (and loves) as the world’s first third-world city. The book is like a glass of retsina—thrilling, but likely to cause a catch at the back of the throat—as one regards, through Kaplan’s eyes, the slaughter and cruelty that have always accompanied the glories of Mediterranean civilization.”
            —Geoffrey Wawro, professor of strategic studies at the U.S. Naval War College, anchor of the History Channel’s Hardcover History

Mediterranean Winter is a beautiful book. We have come to expect carefully articulated and cogent history from Robert Kaplan, but what is unexpected here is the lyrical grace of his writing, and also the deep, personal attachment to the places and people he introduces us to. I felt as if I were traveling by his side on this unusual journey to some of the world’s most ancient civilizations.”
             —Jane Alexander, former chair of the National Endowment for the Arts

 

 

 

作者简介:

Robert D. Kaplan is a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and the bestselling author of eight previous books on foreign affairs and travel, including Balkan Ghosts, The Ends of the Earth, The Coming Anarchy, and Eastward to Tartary.

Gaudi

by Gijs Van Hensbegen

高狄

2002  32 408

 

 

 

内容简介:

这是一本传记作品。当高狄在1926年逝世时,他几乎是世界上最有名的建筑师。他创造了一些最伟大,然而也很有争议的现代建筑杰作,它们浸透着异国情调,难以为人接受。高狄在艺术上充满创意,敢于超越前人,堪称加泰隆艺术流派的先驱者。在他之后,这一派的大师还有Picasso, DaliBunuel等。高狄的一生行为常有出轨之处,他的创意也每每近乎疯狂。他在巴萨罗那倒退着欣赏自己建造的大教堂时,被一辆有轨电车撞死,这件事也像一个传奇。如今,他的作品,连同他的宗教虔诚和对家乡加泰隆尼亚的热爱,使他成为建筑艺术的偶像。

 

 

 

 

作者简介:

Gijs Van Hensbergen是建筑学的讲师,写过一本艺术装修和一本西班牙的旅游书。
