À l’occasion du centenaire de l’Exposition des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes qui marqua l’apogée de l’Art déco, ce catalogue célèbre un style majeur et son succès. Lors de cet événement qui consacra l’Art déco, nombre de décorateurs, fabricants, magazines, grands magasins, artistes, et même des nations étrangères se livrèrent une concurrence acharnée pour prendre possession des bâtiments parisiens, tandis que d’autres érigeaient des structures temporaires pour présenter leurs dernières créations. Tendance esthétique et artistique née avant la Première Guerre mondiale, l’Art déco prend son essor dans les années 1920, alors qu’émerge un nouveau mode de vie en rupture avec les décennies précédentes : vitesse, mouvement et liberté sont désormais les maîtres mots de la société. Protéiforme et insaisissable, ce courant regroupe un ensemble de formes, motifs, matériaux et techniques modernes utilisés par des créateurs comme Jean Puiforcat, Maurice Marinot, Suzanne et René Lalique, Pierre Chareau, Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, André Groult… À travers huit essais, douze focus et portfolios d’images, ce catalogue couvre les multiples incarnations de l’Art déco, de ses débuts, dans les années 1910, à ses réinterprétations contemporaines, en passant par son âge d’or lors de l’Exposition de1925. Il s’appuie sur une riche iconographie qui offre à voir les chefs-d’œuvre du style Art déco issus des collections du musée des Arts décoratifs, et d’autres encore, à travers de magnifiques reproductions en pleine page et des détails inédits.

Originally published in two volumes between 1923 and 1925, Africa for Africans: Or, The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey is a compilation of letters, speeches and essays by one of the Fathers of Pan-Africanism.Hailed by Martin Luther King, Jr. as, "the first man of color. . . to make the Negro feel like he was somebody," Marcus Garvey was a polarizing yet influential figure whose legacy continues to be felt today. These philosophies, collected by Amy Jacques Garvey, his second wife and a pioneering journalist, chronicle Garvey's initial impressions and recollections of America, the formation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), his imprisonment and subsequent trial over the Black Star Line, and his scathing opinions of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).Including such pieces as, "An Appeal to the Soul of White America," "The Negro's Greatest Enemy," and "Declaration of Rights of the Negroes of the World," Africa for Africans; Or, The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey is an essential piece of Black history, professionally typeset and reimagined for modern readers. <br><br> Autorid: Marcus Garvey, Marcus Garvey, Amy Jacques Garvey, Amy Jacques Garvey <br>
This groundbreaking critical biography of Andrei Siniavskii (1925-1997) as a writer in and of his time shows how this subtle and complex author found his way in a society polarised into heroes and villains, patriots and traitors, how he progressed from identification with the value system and ideology of his time to reaction against it, and his dissidence expressed in literary terms. Based on a close reading of his work, Andrei Siniavskii: A Hero of his Time? explores the way in which Siniavskii's art does not simply reflect the circumstances of his life and times but is actively shaped by an intricate commerce between the two.

"Virginia Woolf's groundbreaking novel, in a lushly illustrated hardcover edition with illuminating commentary from a brilliant young Oxford scholar and critic. "Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself." So begins Virginia Woolf's much-beloved fourth novel. First published in 1925, Mrs. Dalloway has long been considered Woolf's masterpiece. A pivotal work of literary modernism, its simple plot-centered on an upper-class Londoner preparing to give a party-is complicated by Woolf's satire of the English social system. For decades, Woolf's rapturous style and vision of individual consciousness have challenged and inspired readers, novelists, and scholars alike. In this annotated volume based on the original British edition, acclaimed essayist and Oxford don Merve Emre mines Woolf's diaries and notes on writing to take us into the making of Mrs. Dalloway, revealing the novel's artistry and astonishing originality. Alongside her generous commentary, Emre offers hundreds of illustrations and little-known photographs from Woolf's life. The result is not only an essential volume for students and Woolf devotees, but an incomparable gift to all lovers of literature"-- Virginia Woolfs groundbreaking novel, in a lushly illustrated hardcover edition with illuminating commentary from a brilliant young Oxford scholar and critic. Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself. So begins Virginia Woolfs much-beloved fourth novel. First published in 1925, Mrs. Dalloway has long been viewed not only as Woolfs masterpiece, but as a pivotal work of literary modernism and one of the most significant and influential novels of the twentieth century. In this visually powerful annotated edition, acclaimed Oxford don and literary critic Merve Emre gives us an authoritative version of this landmark novel, supporting it with generous commentary that reveals Woolfs aesthetic and political ambitionsin Mrs. Dalloway and beyondas never before.Mrs. Dalloway famously takes place over the course of a single day in late June, its plot centering on the upper-class Londoner Clarissa Dalloway, who is preparing to throw a party that evening for the nations elite. But the novel is complicated by Woolfs satire of the English social system, and by her groundbreaking representation of consciousness. The events of the novel flow through the minds and thoughts of Clarissa and her former lover Peter Walsh and others in their circle, but also through shopkeepers and servants, among others. Together Woolfs characterseach a jumble of memories and perceptionscreate a broad portrait of a city and society transformed by the Great War in ways subtle but profound ways. No figure has been more directly shaped by the conflict than the disturbed veteran Septimus Smith, who is plagued by hallucinations of a friend who died in battle, and who becomes the unexpected second hinge of the novel, alongside Clarissa, even thoughin one of Woolfs many radical decisionsthe two never meet.Emres extensive introduction and annotations follow the evolution of Clarissa Dallowaybased on an apparently conventional but actually quite complex acquaintance of Woolfsand Septimus Smith from earlier short stories and drafts of Mrs. Dalloway to their emergence into the distinctive forms devoted readers of the novel know so well. For Clarissa, Septimus, and her other creations, Woolf relied on the skill of character reading, her technique for bridging the gap between life and fiction, reality and representation. As Emre writes, Woolfs approach to representing character involved burrowing deep into the processes of consciousness, and, so submerged, illuminating the infinite variety of sensation and perception concealed therein. From these depths, she extracted an unlimited capacity for life. It is in Woolfs characters, fundamentally unknowable but fundamentally alive, that the enduring achievement of her art is most apparent.The Annotated Mrs. Dalloway <br><br> Autorid: Merve Emre, Virginia Woolf <br>
Founded in 1925 in Warnemunde, Arado-Flugzeugwerke, from the outset, produced civil aircraft as well as developing prototypes for the clandestine armament programme of the Reichswehr. From 1933 when the licensed production of military aircraft commenced, the factory also built a number of their own designs. Best known are the training aircraft Ar 66 and Ar 96, the catapult float-plane Ar 196 and the record-breaking sporting aircraft Ar 79. With the two- or four-engined Ar 234, the world's first operational jet-bomber was born. At the end of the war Arado initiated the project of the first supersonic experimental aircraft. This book charts the development of all Arado aircraft between 1925 and 1945 as well as the development and capabilities of the factory. It also gives an overview of the licence-productions and other projects. The information is based on original documents and will rectify some of the speculation and fantasy that has been published about the Arado-Flugzeugwerke. <br><br> Autorid: Volker Koos <br>

County Armagh was one of the most controversial theatres of political and military conflict during the 1912 23 period. The county s long-standing antipathy between unionism and nationalism intensified during the third home rule crisis of 1912 14. To the alarm of nationalists, unionists mobilized politically and militarily to oppose home rule and demanded a partitioned Ireland to preserve their hegemony in Ulster. The political changes brought about by the First World War and the 1916 Rising were less apparent in Armagh, and during the War of Independence the IRA struggled to gain the upper hand in a hostile landscape dominated by resilient Crown forces. While the conflict took on a sectarian hue and civilian casualties exceeded those of combatants, unionists grew increasingly secure under the new Northern Ireland government. The IRA was largely forced from Armagh by 1922 and many volunteers were interned by the governments on both sides of the new border. After the Boundary Commission debacle of 1925, Armagh nationalists remained under the jurisdiction of an unsympathetic Northern Ireland government that they did not identify with. Using both official and private archives, this study offers new perspectives on the continuities, changes and wider social and economic dynamics which shaped County Armagh during a tumultuous decade. <br><br> Autorid: Donal Hall, Eoin Magennis <br>

Take flight with postmodern artist Robert Rauschenberg in this tribute to his space and aviation art, featuring art history and 150+ fascinating imagesMost famous for his groundbreaking "Combines"painting and sculpture hybrids that often incorporated everyday objectsAmerican artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008) created within a range of mediums, including collage, performance, photography, and printmaking. But a connective tissue through it all was his fascination with flight. The Ascent of Rauschenberg explores the flight motif across his work, spanning birds, insects, aviation, spaceflight, sensory experiences, and metaphors for his own life.More than 150 images reveal the vibrant scope of his work, from lithographs inspired by the Apollo 11 launch that NASA invited him to witness and document, to a Combine featuring a taxidermied eagle that evokes Roman mythology. Nine accompanying essays reflect on his many flight themes and subtleties that might otherwise be overlooked. The book also includes archival photographs and personal papers from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation.Considered a forerunner of several artistic movements, most notably pop art, Rauschenberg was one of the most influential artists of his time. This gorgeous volume engages with his work at an intimate level and through a distinctive lens, revealing an artist deeply mesmerized by the innovation of flight within nature, technology, and art. By observing Rauschenberg's work through the prism of flight, The Ascent of Rauschenberg refracts to reveal the depth and dazzle of an unparalleled career. <br><br> Autorid: Carolyn Russo, Alexander Nemerov <br>
Malcolm X's The Autobiography of Malcolm X was written in collaboration with Alex Haley, author of Roots, and includes an introduction by Paul Gilroy, author of The Black Atlantic, in Penguin Modern Classics. From hustling, drug addiction and armed violence in America's black ghettos Malcolm X turned, in a dramatic prison conversion, to the puritanical fervour of the Black Muslims. As their spokesman he became identified in the white press as a terrifying teacher of race hatred; but to his direct audience, the oppressed American blacks, he brought hope and self-respect. This autobiography (written with Alex Haley) reveals his quick-witted integrity, usually obscured by batteries of frenzied headlines, and the fierce idealism which led him to reject both liberal hypocrisies and black racialism. Vilified by his critics as an anti-white demagogue, Malcolm X gave a voice to unheard African-Americans, bringing them pride, hope and fearlessness, and remains an inspirational and controversial figure. Malcolm X (1925-65), born Malcolm Little in Omaha, and also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, lost both his parents at a young age. Leaving school early, he soon became part of Harlem's underworld, and in 1946 he was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. It was in prison that Malcolm X converted to Islam. Paroled in 1952, he became an outspoken defender of Muslim doctrines, formed the Organization of Afro-American Unity in 1963, and had received considerable publicity by the time of his assassination in 1965. If you enjoyed The Autobiography of Malcolm X, you might like Nelson Mandela's No Easy Walk to Freedom, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

A celebration of the Bedgebury Florilegium exhibition at Kew for the centenary of Bedgebury National Pinetum. Founded in 1925, Bedgebury National Pinetum was established through a pioneering partnership with the Forestry Commission and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. In celebration of its centenary, this book features twenty stunning botanical paintings by the Bedgebury National Pinetum Florilegium Society, showcasing the beauty and scope of the trees in the collection. Following the First World War, Kew conifer expert William Dallimore noticed that years of increasing industrial pollution in London were adversely impacting the growth of the trees and went in search of a better environment to house Kews conifer collection. With varied topography and a mixture of soil types, Bedgebury proved to be ideal, and the first planting of trees grown at Kew took place there in 1925. Today, Bedgebury is home to nearly 12,000 tree specimens and is a center for conifer science and conservation. At the heart of this book are the botanical paintings by the Bedgebury National Pinetum Florilegium Society. Founded in 2008, this group of botanical artists is dedicated to documenting the Pinetums remarkable plant collection through scientifically accurate and artistically stunning illustrations. Complete with a foreword by Simon Toomer, Kews Curator of Living Collections, and an introduction by Bedgebury Collections Manager Dan Luscombe that provides an overview of the Pinetum today, Christina Harrisons text offers a charming history of Dallimore and Bedgebury. <br><br> Autorid: Christina Harrison, Dan Luscombe <br>
The diaries of A. C. Benson, poet and educationalist, illuminate a career at the heart of the Edwardian establishment, and a tortured private life. Introduction, footnotes, chronology.A. C. Benson (1862-1925), novelist, poet (he wrote Land of Hope and Glory), educationalist and Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, kept a voluminous diary for most of his life. Considered too controversial at the time, it was sealed up after his death. Only now, with the publication of this extensive selection, can his witty and acute judgements on people, institutions and issues including Henry James, Thomas Hardy, Queen Victoria, Dean Inge, Balfour, Asquith, Eton and Cambridge be fully appreciated. He paints an endlessly fascinating and often very funny picture of a public life at the heart of the Edwardian literary, educational, church and political establishments; but also of a private life riven by the pressures of unconsummated romantic attachments to young men, and by attacks of appalling depression, an illness then barely understood. Historians Eamon Duffy and Ronald Hyam made this 300,000-word selection, adding a substantial introduction, footnotes, chronology, index and photographs. It is presented as two hardbacks in a slipcase. <br><br> Autorid: A.C. Benson, Eamon Duffy, Ronald Hyam <br>
