Modest Gifts : Poems and Drawings

Norman Mailer


Modest Gifts : Poems and Drawings Norman Mailer Book DescriptionAn unexpected collection from Norman Mailer—a book of his selected poems and more than one hundred of his drawings, most of them never before published. Modest Gifts is full of what the author calls “casual pleasures”—witty, naughty, and surprisingly tender verse and art. Lust, seduction, betrayal, jealousy, and even the banality of cocktail party chatter are depicted with humor, affection, and, above all, honesty. Here is an aspect of Norman Mailer unknown to many: lighthearted, prankish, whimsical, and often gentle, playfully sketching the intimate urban world that surrounds us. Modest, funny, and true, each poem and drawing shows a new side of one of the greatest writers of our time. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionAn unexpected collection from Norman Mailer—a book of his selected poems and more than one hundred of his drawings, most of them never before published.

Cy Twombly: Fifty Years of Works on Paper: The Drawings at the Hermitage

Cy Twombly


Cy Twombly: Fifty Years of Works on Paper: The Drawings at the Hermitage Cy Twombly Book DescriptionCy Twombly's gestures are some of the most beloved in 20th century art. The painter, graphic artist, sculptor and photographer is prized above all for the sweeping, scribbled marks that he makes with his drawing instruments. Though mostlyindecipherable, at least on a literal level, Twombly's colorful, dense gestures are compellingly articulate in their rhythm, line, allusion and mood. Deeply sophisticated and sensual, they follow in the footsteps of Western tradition while speaking resolutely in the hushed and tentative tones of the modern age, defying prevailing stylistic cliches and mediating between the old and new worlds. This exceptional volume presents 50 years of drawings by the artist, most taken from his own personal collection. Foreword by Mikhail Piotrovsky.~Introduction by Simon Schama.

Defender

Tim Waggoner


Defender Tim Waggoner Book Description The aliens known as the Manti have been destroyed by Defender pilot Mei Kyoto when she helped the AI called Memory crash the moon into Manti-occupied Earth. The remnants of humanity that live on the Solar Colonies have been saved, but at the cost of their homeworld. Several years have passed and Kyoto has become a controversial figure. While some view her as a hero, others demonize her as the destroyer of Earth. Kyoto would like nothing better than to be an anonymous rookie pilot again, but without the Manti threat to keep the Solar Colonies unified, friction has developed between the human outposts. Detroit Adams (now a general and head of the Galactic Stargate Authority) has convinced Kyoto to use her celebrity status as a goodwill ambassador to the Colonies, in the hope of keeping them unified-or at least prevent open hostilities from breaking out....
