The Soul of the Camera The Photographer's Place in Picture-Making【電子書籍】[ David duChemin ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>In <em>The Soul of the Camera: The Photographer's Place in Picture-Making</em>, photographer David duChemin uses photography essays accompanied by beautiful black-and-white photos to inspire photography with a human connection.</strong></p> <p>As both an art form and a universal language, the photograph has an extraordinary ability to connect and communicate with others. But with over one trillion photos taken each year, why do so few of them truly connect? Why do so few of them grab our emotions or our imaginations? It is not because the images lack focus or proper exposure; with advances in technology, the camera does that so well these days. Photographer David duChemin believes the majority of our images fall short because they lack soul. And without soul, the images have no ability to resonate with others. They simply cannot connect with the viewer, or evenーif we’re being truthfulーwith ourselves.</p> <p>In <em>The Soul of the Camera: The Photographer’s Place in Picture-Making</em>, David explores what it means to make better photographs. Illustrated with a collection of beautiful black-and-white images, the book’s essays address topics such as craft, mastery, vision, audience, discipline, story, and authenticity. <em>The Soul of the Camera</em> is a personal and deeply pragmatic book that quietly yet forcefully challenges the idea that our cameras, lenses, and settings are anything more than dumb and mute tools. It is the photographer, not the camera, that can and must learn to make better photographsーphotographs that convey our vision, connect with others, and, at their core, contain our humanity. <em>The Soul of the Camera</em> helps us do that.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,688円

Public Art and the Fragility of Democracy An Essay in Political Aesthetics【電子書籍】[ Fred Evans ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Public space is political space. When a work of public art is put up or taken down, it is an inherently political statement, and the work’s aesthetics are inextricably entwined with its political valences. Democracy’s openness allows public art to explore its values critically and to suggest new ones. However, it also facilitates artworks that can surreptitiously or fortuitously undermine democratic values. Today, as bigotry and authoritarianism are on the rise and democratic movements seek to combat them, as Confederate monuments fall and sculptures celebrating diversity rise, the struggle over the values enshrined in the public arena has taken on a new urgency.</p> <p>In this book, Fred Evans develops philosophical and political criteria for assessing how public art can respond to the fragility of democracy. He calls for considering such artworks as acts of citizenship, pointing to their capacity to resist autocratic tendencies and reveal new dimensions of democratic society. Through close considerations of Chicago’s Millennium Park and New York’s National September 11 Memorial, Evans shows how a wide range of artworks participate in democratic dialogues. A nuanced consideration of contemporary art, aesthetics, and political theory, this book is a timely and rigorous elucidation of how thoughtful public art can contribute to the flourishing of a democratic way of life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,906円

Songs of Innocence, and Songs of Experience Exploring the Duality of Innocence and Experience through Poetry【電子書籍】[ William Blake ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>William Blake's "Songs of Innocence and of Experience" is a poignant and transformative exploration of the duality of human existence, contrasting the simplicity of innocence with the complexities of experience. Comprising two distinct yet interrelated collections, this work employs a unique blend of lyrical poetry and symbolic imagery, reflecting Blake's radical vision of a world where societal constraints clash with spiritual truth. Using simple yet powerful language, Blake captures the essence of childhood wonder and the subsequent loss of that wonder in adulthood, inviting readers to traverse the spectrum of human emotion and perception. Blake, an artist, poet, and visionary of the late 18th century, was deeply influenced by the rapidly changing socio-political landscape of England, as well as his own mystical experiences. His commitment to individual perception and his critique of contemporary society are key themes that inform this work. Blake's background in the Romantic tradition, combined with his theological insights, positions him as a precursor to modern thought, leading him to advocate for emotional authenticity and spiritual awakening. This seminal work is recommended for anyone seeking to understand the interplay between innocence and experience, as well as for those interested in the foundations of Romantic poetry. Blake's evocative illustrations and profound themes resonate across generations, making this dual collection an essential read for both scholars and casual readers alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus From the Quarto of 1616【電子書籍】[ Christopher Marlowe ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus," Christopher Marlowe explores the profound themes of ambition, knowledge, and the human condition through the tragic tale of Dr. Faustus, a scholar who sacrifices his soul for worldly power and knowledge. Written in blank verse, Marlowe's dramatic style captures the Renaissance tension between medieval morality and the burgeoning humanist ideals of the time. This play is imbued with allegorical elements and rich symbolism, illustrating the consequences of hubris in an age where the pursuit of knowledge was both revered and feared. Faustus's ultimate struggle serves as a cautionary tale reflecting the anxieties of an era on the brink of extraordinary intellectual growth. Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was a contemporary of William Shakespeare and a pioneer in early English drama. His life, marked by intrigue and mystery, mirrors the complexities of human ambition depicted in his works. Scholars suggest that Marlowe's own experiences with the ambitious and often tumultuous Elizabethan society, which valued academic prowess yet punished moral transgressions, heavily influenced his portrayal of Faustus and the pact he makes with the devil. "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus" remains an essential read for those interested in the interplay of ambition and despair, and the ethical dilemmas of knowledge. This timeless tragedy invites readers to ponder the limits of human ambition, making it a thought-provoking addition to any literary collection.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

Fredric Jameson and The Wolf of Wall Street【電子書籍】[ Professor Clint Burnham ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Film Theory in Practice series fills a gaping hole in the world of film theory. By marrying the explanation of a film theory with the interpretation of a film, the volumes provide discrete examples of how film theory can serve as the basis for textual analysis. <em>Fredric Jameson and The Wolf of Wall Street</em> offers a concise introduction to Jameson in jargon-free language and shows how his Marxist theories can be deployed to interpret Martin Scorsese's critically acclaimed 2013 film <em>The Wolf of Wall Street.</em></p> <p>Beginning with a detailed account of Jameson's extensive writings on Marxist theory and how they have been deployed in the analysis of film writings, Clint Burnham then illustrates how Jameson's theory can help to make sense of <em>The Wolf of Wall Street,</em> a film that shows in all its glory the excesses, lunacies, and inner workings of 1990s finance capitalism. As Jameson has influentially argued, films like <em>The Wolf of Wall Street</em> are both complicit in and critical of their historical subject: Scorsese's film is not about the richest stockbrokers, but the Long Island penny traders who made it big. As a narrative of American success, it is also a film about failure. Clint Burnham's reading of Jameson and <em>The Wolf of Wall Street</em> is a book about a contemporary film, and contemporary events, and contemporary theory.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,963円

Too Much Too Young: The 2 Tone Records Story Rude Boys, Racism and the Soundtrack of a Generation【電子書籍】[ Daniel Rachel ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>#2 <em>UNCUT</em> BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023</strong></p> <p>In 1979, 2 Tone exploded into the national consciousness as records by The Specials, The Selecter, Madness, The Beat, and The Bodysnatchers burst onto the charts and a youth movement was born.</p> <p>2 Tone was black and white: a multi-racial force of British and Caribbean island musicians singing about social issues, racism, class and gender struggles. It spoke of injustices in society and took fight against right wing extremism.</p> <p>The music of 2 Tone was exuberant: white youth learning to dance to the infectious rhythm of ska and reggae; and crossed with a punk attitude to create an original hybrid. The idea of 2 Tone was born in Coventry, masterminded by a middle-class art student raised in the church. Jerry Dammers had a vision of an English Motown. Borrowing 〓700, the label's first record featured 'Gangsters' by The Specials' backed by an instrumental track by the, as yet, unformed, Selecter. Within two months the single was at number six in the national charts. Dammers signed Madness, The Beat and The Bodysnatchers as a glut of successive hits propelled 2 Tone onto <em>Top of the Pops</em> and into the hearts and minds of a generation. However, soon infighting amongst the bands and the pressures of running a label caused 2 Tone to bow to an inevitable weight of expectation and recrimination.</p> <p>Still under the auspices of Jerry Dammers, 2 Tone entered in a new phase. Perhaps not as commercially successful as its 1979-1981 incarnation the label nevertheless continued to thrive for a further four years releasing a string of fresh signings and a stunning end-piece finale in '(Free) Nelson Mandela'.</p> <p>Told in three parts, <em>Too Much Too Young</em> is the definitive story of a label that for a brief, bright burning moment, shaped British culture.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,474円

Living the Beatles Legend The Untold Story of Mal Evans【電子書籍】[ Kenneth Womack ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The first full-length biography of Mal Evans, the Beatles’ beloved friend, confidant, and roadie.</strong></p> <p>Malcolm Evans, the Beatles’ long-time roadie, personal assistant, and devoted friend, was an invaluable member of the band’s inner circle. A towering figure in horn-rimmed glasses, Evans loomed large in the Beatles’ story, contributing at times as a performer and sometime lyricist, while struggling mightily to protect his beloved “boys.” He was there for the whole of the group’s remarkable, unparalleled story: from the Shea Stadium triumph through the creation of the timeless cover art for <em>Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band</em> and the famous <em>Let It Be</em> rooftop concert.</p> <p>Leaving a stable job as telecommunications engineer to serve as road manager for this fledgling band, Mal was the odd man out from the startーolder, married with children, and without any music business experience. And yet he threw himself headlong into their world, traveling across the globe and making himself indispensable.</p> <p>In the years after the Beatles’ disbandment, Big Mal continued in their employ as each embarked upon solo careers. By 1974, he was determined to make his name as a songwriter and record producer, setting off for a new life in Los Angeles, where he penned his memoirs. But in January 1976, on the verge of sharing his book with the world, Evans’s story came to a tragic end during a domestic standoff with the LAPD.</p> <p>For Beatles devotes, Mal’s life and untimely death have always been shrouded in mystery. For decades, his diaries, manuscripts, and vast collection of memorabilia was missing, seemingly lost forever…until now.</p> <p>Working with full access to Mal’s unpublished archives and having conducted hundreds of new interviews, Beatles’ scholar and author Kenneth Womack affords readers with a full telling of Mal’s unknown story at the heart of the Beatles’ legend. Lavishly illustrated with unseen photos and ephemera from Mal’s archives, <em>Living the Beatles’ Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans</em> is the missing puzzle piece in the Fab Four’s incredible story.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,891円

The Complete Works of Jane Austen【電子書籍】[ Jane Austen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humour, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike. With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion.

Hoop Atlas Mapping the Remarkable Transformation of the Modern NBA【電子書籍】[ Kirk Goldsberry ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"When discussing greatness, we have too often distilled it down to how many rings someone has won, neglecting to celebrate the incredible influence that players have had on the evolution of basketball. Kirk's book beautifully explains this other side of greatnessーhow one player's skill and style of play can change the game forever."</strong></p> <p><strong>ーJJ Redick</strong></p> <p><strong>The bestselling author of <em>Sprawlball</em>, Kirk Goldsberry returns with a visual feast of a bookーequal parts <em>Book of Basketball</em> and Shea Serranoーthat uses sharp writing, his signature graphics, and cutting-edge statistical analyses to unpack how a handful of NBA superstars ーMJ to Lebron to Jokicーhave reshaped pro basketball and charted the course to the future of the NBA.</strong></p> <p>Every few years a talent comes along that disrupts everything we think we know about how the NBA should work. Whether it’s scoring, playmaking, or shooting, these are players and tactics that fundamentally challenge how the game is played and what greatness looks like on a basketball court. For a period of time, these players each become an “Atlas” for the league, carrying the weight of the NBA on their shoulders, but also providing the roadmap that points the way to the future of the sport. In tandem, they map out the modern NBA’s creation.</p> <p>Goldsberry returns with a highly visual, electrifying tour through the last three decades of NBA history, showing the “Atlas” players that have led us out of the brutishness of 90s hoops and into the wide open spaces of the most skilled era in NBA history. Charting the course from Jordan to Jokicーwith plenty of stops along the way for Iverson, Kobe, Curry, and of course LebronーGoldsberry, who was instrumental in helping spur the NBA’s statistical revolution, has designed a vibrant new way to compare and debate the contributions of the best NBA players of all-time. Masterfully connecting NBA past and present through incisive writing and stunning visual statistical analyses, he shows how we’ve come to this unprecedented moment, a time when offensive efficiency and shooting percentages are higher than ever.</p> <p>Using beautifully designed, four-color shot maps and illustrations, Goldsberry offers a graphic journey through the last thirty years of the NBA that covers up to the 2023 season and is as much fun to look at as it is to read. The end result offers stories and analyses of a select group of NBA superstars that open up lively debates, reveal just how singular their talents truly are, and characterize the dramatic 21st-century metamorphosis of the best basketball league in the world.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,424円

The Analysis of Beauty Written with a view of fixing the fluctuating ideas of taste【電子書籍】[ William Hogarth ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Analysis of Beauty," William Hogarth meticulously explores the principles of aesthetics and beauty, arguing against the prevailing notions of symmetry and proportion in art. Employing a blend of empirical observation and philosophical inquiry, Hogarth introduces the concept of the 'Line of Beauty,' a serpentine line that reflects the grace found in nature and art. His rich prose and illustrative engravings invite readers into a deeper understanding of visual harmony, offering both a critique and a celebration of Baroque and Rococo influences prevalent in 18th-century British art. The work situates itself within the broader Enlightenment discourse, bridging art and emerging scientific thought. William Hogarth, a preeminent English painter and engraver, was deeply influenced by the socio-political landscape of 18th-century England and the evolving discussions surrounding art's purpose and morality. His experiences as an artist in a rapidly changing society, coupled with his keen observational skills, fueled his desire to articulate a theory of beauty that transcended conventional aesthetics. Hogarth's commitment to social commentary through visual storytelling informs the insights presented in this work. This book is indispensable for scholars of art history, aesthetics, and cultural studies, as it provides a unique lens on Hogarth's revolutionary ideas. Readers intrigued by the formulation of beauty and design in visual arts will find Hogarth's analysis both enlightening and foundational, as it resonates with contemporary debates surrounding artistic expression.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

In Search of Lost Time [volumes 1 to 7]【電子書籍】[ Marcel Proust ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>"'In Search of Lost Time' is widely recognized as the major novel of the twentieth century." ーHarold Bloom "At once the last great classic of French epic prose tradition and the towering precursor of the 'nouveau roman'." ーBengt Holmqvist "Proust so titillates my own desire for expression that I can hardly set out the sentence. Oh if I could write like that!" ーVirginia Woolf "The greatest fiction to date." ーW. Somerset Maugham "Proust is the greatest novelist of the 20th century." ーGraham Greene On the surface a traditional "Bildungsroman" describing the narrator's journey of self-discovery, this huge and complex book is also a panoramic and richly comic portrait of France in the author's lifetime, and a profound meditation on the nature of art, love, time, memory and death. But for most readers it is the characters of the novel who loom the largest: Swann and Odette, Monsieur de Charlus, Morel, the Duchesse de Guermantes, Fran?oise, Saint-Loup and so many others ー Giants, as the author calls them, immersed in Time. "In Search of Lost Time" is a novel in seven volumes. The novel began to take shape in 1909. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. Proust established the structure early on, but even after volumes were initially finished he kept adding new material, and edited one volume after another for publication. The last three of the seven volumes contain oversights and fragmentary or unpolished passages as they existed in draft form at the death of the author; the publication of these parts was overseen by his brother Robert.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 200円

<p>In Moli?re's captivating play "Psyche," the tensions between romance and comedy unfold through a rich tapestry of witty dialogue and clever wordplay. Set against the backdrop of the early 17th-century French theatrical landscape, this work interlaces influences from classical mythology with the burgeoning spirit of the French avant-garde. Moli?re artfully explores the themes of love, identity, and the comedic folly of societal expectations, through the story of Psyche, who embarks on a journey to reclaim her love from the underworld, defying both divine and human constraints. Moli?re, born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, was a pioneer of French comedy whose experiences in theater and his own tumultuous encounters with the aristocracy informed his satirical lens. His rich understanding of human nature, derived from both observed folly and personal struggles, equipped him to elucidate the absurdities of love and the complexities of societal mores. "Psyche" represents a significant moment in his oeuvre, as it demonstrates Moli?re's penchant for blending humor with poignant reflection. For those seeking a delightful yet profound theatrical experience, "Psyche" is a must-read.
