Letters from the Editor Ross Harold Wallace

These exhilarating letters--selected and introduced by Thomas Kunkel, who wrote Genius in Disguise, the distinguished Ross biography--tell the dramatic story of the birth of The New Yorker and its precarious early days and years. Ross worries about everything from keeping track of office typewriters to the magazine's role in wartime to the exact questions to be asked for a "Talk of the Town" piece on the song "Happy Birthday." We find Ross, in Kunkel's words, "scolding Henry Luce, lecturing Orson Welles, baiting J. Edgar Hoover, inviting Noel Coward and Ginger Rogers to the circus, wheedling Ernest Hemingway-- offering to sell Harpo Marx a used car and James Cagney a used tractor, and explaining to restaurateur-to-the-stars Dave Chasen, step by step, how to smoke a turkey." These letters from a supreme editor tell in his own words the story of the fierce, lively man who

Monhegan Island

The natural beauty of Monhegan Island has continuously attracted generations of artists, day-trippers, and summer sojourners. White Head, Pulpit Rock, and Cathedral Woods are names that resonate throughout New England and beyond. Long before the first ferry full of seasonal visitors arrived, the Monhegan Island fishermen had established a permanent community on the island, scratching out an existence on a remote offshore outpost. As early as 1890, prominent artists Robert Henri and George Bellows, followed by Rockwell Kent and Jamie Wyeth, captured the magnificence of Monhegan. They shared the cliffs and coves with the lighthouse keepers, carpenters, lobstermen, and the island

Transforming the Urban University

In Transforming the Urban University, Richard M. Freeland reviews how Northeastern University in Boston, historically an access-oriented, private urban university serving commuter students from modest backgrounds and characterized by limited academic ambitions and local reach, transformed itself into a selective, national, and residential research university. Having served as president during a critical decade in this transition, Freeland recounts the school's efforts to retain key features from Northeastern's urban history--an emphasis on undergraduate teaching and learning, a curriculum focused on preparing students for the workplace, its signature program of cooperative education, and its broad involvement in the life of the city--while at the same time raising admission standards, recruiting students on a regional and national basis, improving graduation rates, expanding

Meanwhile, a professor of archaeology is getting increasingly suspicious about the shop's supply of rare and valuable antiquities.

George VI Penguin Monarchs

Written by Philip Ziegler, one of Britain's most celebrated biographers, George VI is part of the Penguin Monarchs series: short, fresh, expert accounts of England's rulers in a collectible formatIf Ethelred was notoriously 'Unready' and Alfred 'Great', King George VI should bear the title of 'George the Dutiful'.Throughout his life, George dedicated himself to the pursuit of what he thought he ought to be doing rather than what he wanted to do. Inarticulate and loathing any sort of public appearances, he accepted that it was his destiny to figure conspicuously in the public eye, gritted his teeth, battled his crippling stammer and got on with it.He was not born to be king, but he made an admirable one, and was the figurehead of the nation at the time of its greatest trial, the Second World War. This is a brilliant, touching and sometimes funny book

SMRT? ETO VOJNA, ETO NIČEVO…

Partyzánský odboj za 2. sv. války je tématem opředeným mnohými otázkami. Avšak k jejich zodpovězení bývá často užíváno černobílých šablon. Publikace Smrt, eto vojna, eto nicevo usiluje o to předložit barevnější obraz této problematiky. Jakými rysy se partyzánská rezistence vyznačovala, kdo sám sebe nazýval partyzánem, jak se lišily aktivity domácích odbojářů od přístupu sovětských výsadkářů, jak ne/fungovala jejich spolupráce a na kolik určující roli v konání těchto aktérů mohla hrát vlastní zkušenost s válkou a nacistickým okupačním režimem? Takové i další perspektivy budou v knize představeny na základě výzkumu válečných událostí v oblasti Českomoravské vrchoviny.

KAPLICA SYKSTYŃSKA / THE SISTINE CHAPEL

Kaplica Sykstyńska – uniwersalne miejsce historii, sztuki i wiary – przyciąga licznych przedstawicieli turystyki kulturowej z całego świata, nawet 25 tysięcy osób dziennie! Jednak popularna Sykstyna, choć znajduje się na trasie zwiedzania Muzeów Watykańskich, tak naprawdę nie jest muzeum. To przestrzeń religijna, konsekrowana kaplica. Co więcej, jest ona prawdziwym punktem odniesienia dla Kościoła rzymskiego i powszechnego. To w niej sprawuje się uroczyste liturgie i to tutaj kardynałowie zgromadzeni na konklawe wybierają nowego papieża. Kaplica Sykstyńska jest równocześnie syntezą teologii katolickiej. Na jej ścianach zostały ukazane dzieje świata (od Stworzenia po Sąd Ostateczny) wraz z losem człowieka odkupionego przez Chrystusa. Tym samym przedstawia ona historię zbawienia dla wszystkich ludzi i dla każdego człowieka z osobna. Ten wspaniały album w nowatorski sposób prezentuje arcydzieła Sykstyny. Ich reprodukcje są bowiem owocem kampanii fotograficznej z użyciem najnowszych technologii, pozwalających na osiągnięcie spektakularnych rezultatów. Szczególnie innowacyjna technologia gigapixel umożliwiła wykonanie reprodukcji fresków w skali 1:1 i przyjrzenie się z bliska całej dekoracji kaplicy, oddając jej wyrazistość i oryginalną kolorystykę. Czytelnik ma więc niepowtarzalną okazję podziwiać z detalami obrazy takich mistrzów renesansu, jak Michał Anioł, Perugino, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio czy Signorelli. Atutem niniejszego opracowania jest również profesjonalny komentarz przybliżający papieską Capella Magna. Antonio Paolucci, przez blisko dekadę kierujący Muzeami Watykańskimi, w prosty, ale sugestywny sposób wprowadza w historię Sykstyny, zapoznaje ze znamienitymi malarzami i ze światem, który udało im się stworzyć na przestrzeni niemal stulecia. Album (z równoległym przekładem angielskim) z pewnością zachwyci miłośników wielkich artystów włoskiego renesansu, pozwalając na głębokie obcowanie z ich ponadczasowymi arcydziełami, uwiecznionymi w Kaplicy Sykstyńskiej. AUTOR:Anatonio Paolucci, (ur. w 1939 r. w Rimini) włoski historyk sztuki, specjalista w zakresie historii renesansu, minister kultury w latach 1995–1996, dyrektor Muzeów Watykańskich w latach 2007–2017, autor kilkuset artykułów naukowych, a także monografii poświęconych takim twórcom, jak Luca Signorelli czy Marco Palmezzano.

Journey to Freedom

Whilst serving in the Soviet army in 1973, Sergei Ovsiannikov was arrested and imprisoned for acts of disobedience under military command. It was while in prison, like Solzhenitsyn and Dostoevsky, that he began to ponder deeper issues and on release trained to be a Russian orthodox priest.This extraordinary but short book is about his search for true freedom. The issues he wrestles with are profound and, like any confrontation with truth, it caused him great anguish and pain. As Ovsiannikov wrote: 'It was in my prison cell that I lost fear. I realised that if they sent me to a labour camp with a long sentence, it did not matter because I was free. Of course subsequently I came to realise that freedom is not given, you have to take responsibility for it.'It was during this time that he discovered Christianity and decided that this was the real meaning of his life.
