Forty exemplary works spanning the Post-Impressionist¿s career, from one of the world¿s foremost Van Gogh collections Forty masterpieces by Vincent van Gogh (1853¿90) from the prestigious Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo ¿ which houses one of the greatest Van Gogh collections ¿ document the Dutch painter¿s entire career, on the eve of the 170th anniversary of his birth. An extraordinary opportunity to enter into contact with the vision of an artist who managed, through the power of his brushstrokes, to represent his idea of reality and to convey an inner world rich in emotions, as well as a picture of the life of his time, which his work presents together with its profound significance, at times simple, at times troubled and dramatic. Van Gogh lived a tormented life, marked by failure in ali the spheres of existence generally considered to be important: incapable of establishing a family, of supporting himself and of maintaining human relations. Yet, as a painter, he managed to represent even the humblest reality in an incessant path within life, nature and himself, transcending their confines and revealing their meaning. Through reproductions of the forty paintings and drawings alongside biographical accounts, the volume reconstructs Van Gogh¿s trajectory along a chronological thread of the periods and places where the painter lived: from his early life in the Netherlands to his years in Paris, Arles, S. Remy and finally Auvers Sur-Oise; from his early passionate and dark landscapes to his depictions of manual laborers such as sowers, potato pickers, weavers, woodcutters, miners and domestic workers. The book presents forty works by Vincent van Gogh, both paintings and drawings; Van Gogh¿s works are accompanied by six other highlights from Kröller-Müller Museum¿s collection, from different periods of time, by Lucas Cranach the Elder, Henri Fantin-Latour, Auguste Renoir, Floris Verster, Paul Gauguin, and Pablo Picasso.

"The history of dispensationalism as an institutional, cultural, and theological force in evangelicalism"--

An illuminating biography of one of the most famous--and most famously unfinished--buildings in the world, the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona.The scaffolding-cloaked spires of Antoni Gaudí's masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia, dominate the Barcelona skyline and draw in millions of visitors every year. More than a century after the first stone was laid in 1882, the Sagrada Familia remains unfinished, a testament to Gaudí's quixotic ambition, his religious devotion, and the sensuous eccentricity of his design. It has defied the critics, the penny-pinching accountants, the conservative town-planners, and the devotees of sterile modernism. It has enchanted and frustrated the citizens of Barcelona. And it has passed through the landmark changes of twentieth-century Spain, surviving two World Wars, the ravages of the Spanish Civil War, and the "Hunger Years" of Franco's rule.Gijs van Hensbergen's The Sagrada Familia explores the evolution of this remarkable building, working through the decades right up to the present day before looking beyond to the final stretch of its construction. Rich in detail and vast in scope, this is a revelatory chronicle of an iconic structure, its place in history, and the wild genius that created it.

'One of the most important and timely books I've had the privilege to read' Corinne Fowler, author of Green Unpleasant LandA revelatory historical indictment of the long afterlife of slavery in the Atlantic world To fully understand why the shadow of slavery haunts us today, we must confront the flawed way that it ended. We celebrate abolition - in Haiti after the revolution, in the British Empire in 1833, in the United States during the Civil War. Yet in Black Ghost of Empire, acclaimed historian Kris Manjapra argues that during each of these supposed emancipations, Black people were dispossessed by the moves that were meant to free them. Emancipation, in other words, simply codified the existing racial caste system - rather than obliterating it. Ranging across the Americas, Europe and Africa, Manjapra unearths disturbing truths about the Age of Emancipations, 1780-1880. In Britain, reparations were given to wealthy slaveowners, not the enslaved, a vast debt that was only paid off in 2015, and the crucial role of Black abolitionists and rebellions in bringing an end to slavery has been overlooked. In Jamaica, Black people were liberated only to enter into an apprenticeship period harsher than slavery itself. In the American South, the formerly enslaved were 'freed' into a system of white supremacy and racial terror. Across Africa, emancipation served as an alibi for colonization. None of these emancipations involved atonement by the enslavers and their governments for wrongs committed, or reparative justice for the formerly enslaved-an omission that grassroots Black organizers and activists are rightly seeking to address today. Black Ghost of Empire will rewire readers' understanding of the world in which we live. Paradigm-shifting, lucid and courageous, this book shines a light into the enigma of slavery's supposed death, and its afterlives.

Im Februar 1854, wenige Wochen vor Robert Schumanns Einweisung in die Nervenheilanstalt in Endenich, entstanden seine Variationen über ein Thema in Es-dur. Aufgrund der menschlich ungemein bewegenden Ereignisse dieser Tage hütete Clara Schumann die Manuskripte dieser ihr gewidmeten, später "Geistervariationen" genannten, letzten Klavierkomposition ihres Mannes gewissermaßen wie Reliquien und untersagte auch jede Veröffentlichung. Erst 1939 erschien die Erstausgabe, die in vielen Belangen nicht dem von Schumann Aufgezeichneten entspricht. Die Henle Urtextausgabe stützt sich erstmals auf alle erreichbaren Primärquellen; sie stellt de facto die einzige verlässliche Urtextausgabe dieses in den letzten Jahren immer häufiger zu hörenden Werks dar.

Mit den drei Sätzen Pagodes, La soirée dans Grenade (Ein Abend in Granada) und Jardins sous la pluie (Gärten im Regen) lässt Debussy im Zyklus Estampes in Bildern eine poetische Welt aus Landschaften und fernen Ländern entstehen. Er komponierte die Stücke im Sommer 1903 während eines Aufenthalts in Bichain im nördlichen Burgund. Von dort bekräftigt er in einem Brief: "Wenn man sich Reisen nicht leisten kann, muss man sie durch Fantasie ersetzen." Im virtuosen Schlusssatz knüpft er an seine zukunftsweisenden Images aus dem Jahr 1894 (HN 846) an.

Online-Tutorial verfügbar bei Henle Masterclass Wie viele Klaviervirtuosen seiner Zeit träumte auch Robert Schumann davon, sich dem Publikum als Pianist und Komponist zugleich in einem eigenen Klavierkonzert zu präsentieren. Bereits in jungem Alter unternahm er erste Versuche. In den folgenden Jahren fühlte er sich jedoch zunehmend von der Idee einer formal freieren Konzeption angezogen. Aus dem Entwurf einer einsätzigen "Phantasie" entstand schließlich der Kopfsatz des berühmten Werkes, das hiermit erstmals in einer praktischen Urtextausgabe vorgelegt wird. Für den Fingersatz konnte die weltweit gefeierte Pianistin Mitsuko Uchida gewonnen werden. Partitur und Orchestermaterial sind bei Breitkopf & Härtel erschienen.

The New York Times bestseller from prizewinning author David Michaelis presents a ';stunning' (The Wall Street Journal) breakthrough portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt, America's longest-serving First Lady, an avatar of democracy whose ever-expanding agency as diplomat, activist, and humanitarian made her one of the world's most widely admired and influential women.In the first single-volume cradle-to-grave portrait in six decades, acclaimed biographer David Michaelis delivers a stunning account of Eleanor Roosevelt's remarkable life of transformation. An orphaned niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, she converted her Gilded Age childhood of denial and secrecy into an irreconcilable marriage with her ambitious fifth cousin Franklin. Despite their inability to make each other happy, Franklin Roosevelt transformed Eleanor from a settlement house volunteer on New York's Lower East Side into a matching partner in New York's most important power couple in a generation. When Eleanor discovered Franklin's betrayal with her younger, prettier, social secretary, Lucy Mercer, she offered a divorce and vowed to face herself honestly. Here is an Eleanor both more vulnerable and more aggressive, more psychologically aware and sexually adaptable than we knew. She came to accept her FDR's bond with his executive assistant, Missy LeHand; she allowed her children to live their own lives, as she never could; and she explored her sexual attraction to women, among them a star female reporter on FDR's first presidential campaign, and younger men. Eleanor needed emotional connection. She pursued deeper relationships wherever she could find them. Throughout her life and travels, there was always another person or place she wanted to heal. As FDR struggled to recover from polio, Eleanor became a voice for the voiceless, her husband's proxy in the White House. Later, she would be the architect of international human rights and world citizen of the Atomic Age, urging Americans to cope with the anxiety of global annihilation by cultivating a ';world mind.' She insisted that we cannot live for ourselves alone but must learn to live together or we will die together. This ';absolutely spellbinding,' (The Washington Post) ';complex and sensitive portrait' (The Guardian) is not just a comprehensive biography of a major American figure, but the story of an American ideal: how our freedom is always a choice. Eleanor rediscovers a model of what is noble and evergreen in the American character, a model we need today more than ever.
