One of the greatest artists of the shin hanga movement, Hasui produced over 600 woodblock prints during his 40-year career.

Cornell University Press City of Big Shoulders
Book Synopsis"Condensed yet energetic and substantial history of Chicago. Spinney has a firm sense of historical narrative as well as a keen eye for entertaining and illuminating detail."-Publishers Weekly A city of immigrants and entrepreneurs, Chicago is quintessentially American. Spinney brings it to life and highlights the key people, moments, and special places-from Fort Dearborn to Cabrini-Green, Marquette to Mayor Daley, the Union Stock Yards to the Chicago Bulls-that make this incredible city one of the best places in the world. City of Big Shoulders links key events in Chicago's development, from its marshy origins in the 1600s to today's robust metropolis. Robert G. Spinney presents Chicago in terms of the people whose lives made the city-from the tycoons and the politicians to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants from all over the world. In this revised and updated second edition that brings Chicago's story into the twenty-first century, Spinney sweeps his historian's gaze across the colorful and dramatic panorama of the city's explosive past. How did the pungent swamplands that the Native Americans called "the wild-garlic place" burgeon into one of the world's largest and most sophisticated cities? What is the real story behind the Great Chicago Fire? What aspects of American industry exploded with the bomb in Haymarket Square? Could the gritty blue-collar hometown of Al Capone become a visionary global city?Trade ReviewCondensed yet energetic and substantial history of Chicago.

But in the end, the person most impacted was Coel herself. Building on this speech, Misfits immerses readers in her deeply personal vision through powerful allegory and anecdotes - from her East London upbringing to her discovery of theatre and love for storytelling.With inspiring insight and wit, she tells of her reckoning with trauma and metamorphosis into a champion for herself, inclusivity and radical honesty, and in telling her journey invites us to reflect on our own. By embracing our differences, she says, we can transform our lives. An artist to her core, Coel holds up the path of the creative as an emblem of our need to regard one another with care and respect - and transparency.Misfits is a triumphant call for honesty, empathy and inclusion. This timely, necessary book is a rousing coming-to-power manifesto dedicated to anyone who has ever worried about fitting in.

Profile Books Ltd How to Deal With Idiots: (and stop being one
Book SynopsisIdiocy is all around us, whether it's the uncle spouting conspiracy theories, the colleagues who repeat your point but louder, or the commuters who still don't know how to use an escalator. But what is the answer to this perpetual scourge? Here, philosopher Maxime Rovere turns his attention to the murkiest of intellectual corners. With warmth, wit and wisdom, he illuminates a new understanding of idiots, one which examines our relations to others and our own ego, offers tools and strategies to dismantle the most desperate of idiotic situations, and even reveals how to stop being the idiots ourselves (because we're always someone else's idiot). Expertly translated by David Bellos, this is an erudite, enjoyable and much-needed solution to a most familiar vexation.

Seagull Books London Ltd Thinking Aloud
Book SynopsisCompelling and personal essays that underscore the importance of inclusive storytelling in understanding our world. In Thinking Aloud, Jerry Pinto examines the notion of Bollywood as a national cinema in a linguistically diverse India. He traces its evolution from films from the 1940s50s like Kismet and Mother Indiawhich contributed to national identity through its themes of sacrifice and unityto male-centric cinematic narratives of the 1970s80s. Writing on Bollywood, biography, translation, and teaching with candor and empathy, Pinto argues that Bollywood's simplistic, good-versus-evil narratives have deeply influenced the public's perception of their past. Drawing from his translations of works such as Sachin Kunalkar's Cobalt Blue and Daya Pawar's Baluta, Pinto stresses the importance of biographies in providing personal insights into historical events, challenging monolithic narratives, and enriching our understanding of history through diverse, often overlooked, experiences. He delves deeply into the vital role of translation in bridging cultural and linguistic divides. This book also explores Pinto's unconventional journey as an educator. Reflecting on his reluctant start as a teacher at fourteen and his innovative methods promoting the inclusion of marginalized voices, he offers a poignant commentary on the transformative power of education.

The legacy of Polish theatre director Jerzy Grotowski comes to life in this personal account of a workshop and intensive with Laboratory Theatre master actor Zbigniew Cynkutis. This volume provides a rare window into the actor training and performance practices of one of the most influential and revolutionary theaters of the twentieth century. Drawing from extensive notes and recordings made during Cynkutis's last workshop in the United States, Diane Edgecomb's Source Work for Actors takes us to the heart of the workshop experience from the perspective of a young actor determined to make this process her own. Cynkutis's voice and presence are palpable throughout the book as he guides a group of actors to a deep understanding of his artistic philosophy and craft. Stimulated by a developing series of tasks, Laboratory Theatre training exercises, and Cynkutis's startling demonstrations, the group is challenged to bring their whole selves to the work and to reimagine what is possible in theatre. This compelling volume bears witness to the power of a deeply visceral form of theater and illustrates why the works of Grotowski and his actors have had such a profound impact on generations of theater artists. It is sure to stimulate students, challenge directors, and inspire innovative work.

Little, Brown Book Group Excellent Women: 'I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym'
Book SynopsisCover design by Orla Kiely Mildred Lathbury is one of those 'excellent women' who is often taken for granted. She is a godsend, 'capable of dealing with most of the stock situations of life - birth, marriage, death, the successful jumble sales, the garden fete spoilt by bad weather'. As such, though, she often gets herself embroiled in other people's lives - and especially those of her glamorous new neighbours, the Napiers, whose marriage seems to be on the rocks. One cannot take sides in these matters, though it is tricky, especially when Mildred, teetering on the edge of spinsterhood, has a soft spot for dashing young Rockingham Napier. This is Barbara Pym's world at its funniest and most touching.Trade ReviewOne of the finest examples of high comedy Lord David Cecil I don't think I've ever before recommended a novel as one that everybody will enjoy and yet - even with a certain assurance - I'm prepared to vouch for EXCELLENT WOMEN Marghanita Laski, OBSERVER I pick up her books with joy, as though I were meeting an old, dear friend who comforts me, extends my vision and makes me roar with laughter Jilly Cooper

Karolinum,Nakladatelstvi Univerzity Karlovy,Czech Republic The Hours and the Minutes
Book SynopsisWith their courageous and engaging critique of Communism in the 1950s, these critically acclaimed Slovak classics demask one of the founding myths of modern Slovakia. The Hours and The Minutes was first published in Bratislava in 1956, the year of Nikita Khrushchev's secret speech, in which the Soviet leader formally acknowledged Stalin's tyranny and opened the way for political reform throughout the Eastern Bloc. Alfonz Bednár's writing was one of the first free of nationalist and communist propaganda, rejecting earlier ideologization of life by both the fascist right and Stalinist left and finding more empathetic ways to explore the complexity of human experience. His novellas defy traditional heroic depictions and portray the human individual, his relations, and morality as the subject of history rather than a utopian, collectivist ideology. In these five novellas, Bednár is preoccupied with the insensitive, even inhuman, rootless, and amoral modernity that the war and Communist Party import into traditional Slovak life. The destruction of the traditional Slovak countryside during the twentieth century through modernization and urbanization, and with it a particular approach to life, forms his central theme. His spare, epic style and devotion to plot and dynamic narration render The Hours and The Minutes a genuine and gripping read.
