This new edition of one of Virginia Woolf’s most celebrated novels features an introduction by Michael Cunningham, acclaimed bestselling author of The Hours.Mrs. Dalloway chronicles a June day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway–a day that is taken up with running minor errands in preparation for a party and that is punctuated, toward the end, by the death of a young man she has never met. In giving an apparently ordinary day such immense resonance and significance–infusing it with the elemental conflict between death and life–Virginia Woolf triumphantly discovers her distinctive style as a novelist. Originally published in 1925, Mrs. Dalloway is Woolf’s first complete rendering of what she described as the "luminous envelope” of consciousness: a dazzling display of the mind’s inside as it plays over the brilliant surface and darker depths of reality.This edition uses the text of the original British publication of Mrs. Dalloway, which includes changes Woolf made that never appeared in the first or subsequent American editions.

Niloofar Kakhi's Nationalism in the Architecture of Modern Iran charts the fascinating and contested history of the development of a national architectural identity in Iran across the 20th century and on into the creative turbulence of international architecture today. Beginning with a discussion of Iranian architecture in the late Kajar period, up to 1925, and its successor, the Pahlavi dynasty (1925-79), Kakhi describes the establishment of the Iranian Society of National Heritage, and the first steps toward the foundation of an academic discipline in the western Beaux Arts tradition, under such international figures as Andre Godard, Ernst Herzfeld, and Arthur Pope. The narrative goes on to consider the importance of archaeological discoveries, particularly of the Archaemenid (c.705 - 329BCE) and Sassanian (224-651CE) periods, on Iranian architecture, and the tension this set up between concepts of national identity and the influence of international modernism. These are explored through detailed discussion of such significant sites as Tehran's National Garden, the Parade Ground and the Ferdowsi Monument, of such authorities as Mohsen Foroughi and Houshang Seyhoun; and of the paralells between architecture in Iran and in the broader Middle East. The re-invention and importance of such architectural features as the iwan and the chahar-taq are explained for the reader, as is the role played by specific core texts, Sufi mysticism, and the first international congresses, constructing a conceptual platform for critically assessing representations of national identity in contemporary Iranian architecture, and enabling the development a comprehensive understanding of the modern history of architecture in Iran. <br><br> Autorid: Niloofar Kakhi <br>

'We have to-morrowBright before usLike a flame'The New Negro: An Interpretation is a multidisciplinary anthology of poetry, fiction, essays, criticism, art, and philosophy woven together into a seamless statement of Black agency in the arts and humanities that became, upon its publication in 1925, an instant publishing success. Edited by Alain Locke, a man known as the father of the Harlem Renaissance, the text is a powerful, provocative, and affecting anthology of writers who shaped the Harlem Renaissance movement and who help us to consider the evolution of the African American in society. With works by Black voices such as Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen, and W. E. B. DuBois, Locke constructed a vivid look at the changing African American, finding their place in the ever shifting sociocultural landscape that was 1920s America. With an introduction from Jeffrey C. Stewart, leading biographer of Locke, this collection explores the literary strength as well as the historical context of a monumental and fascinating time in the history of America. Published in 1925, The New Negro is an anthology of poems, stories, and essays by Black luminaries of the period, along with new essays by prominent scholars and specialists. It is the definitive statement of the Harlem Renaissance. <br><br> Autorid: Alain Locke, Jeffrey C. Stewart <br>
Beneath the cover of darkness on a cold October night in 1925, the bodies of 12 executed men were quietly moved from the yard of the newly-closed Newcastle Prison and reburied in All Saints Cemetery in Jesmond. This haunting event marked a poignant chapter in the intriguing tale of Newcastle Prison. Once celebrated as a cutting-edge facility designed by acclaimed architect John Dobson, the prison opened its doors in 1828 to much fanfare. However, it quickly became infamous for its overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. By the time it closed its doors in 1925, it was deemed a dismal failure, and today, no trace of the once-prominent structure remains. Written on the 100th anniversary of the closure of Newcastle Prison, this book invites you to explore hidden stories and rare images from the lives of those incarcerated, and the staff, who lived and worked within its walls. During its years of operation, the Prison housed thousands of men, women, and children, enduring a harsh environment marked by severe punishment. You will meet the individuals who navigated life behind bars, find out about heartbreaking narratives from the womens wing, uncover the mystery of the missing executed bodies, and learn about audacious escape attempts. Featuring remarkable stories, alongside specially commissioned and never-before-seen 3D modelled images of the prison, the book draws on detailed archival research and the latest digital techniques to offer a unique and revealing insight into the prison's architectural and social development, vividly bringing the past to life. <br><br> Autorid: Patrick Low <br>

The story of the legendary Random House founder, whose seemingly charmed life at the apogee of the American Century featured an epic cast and left an enduring cultural legacyAt midcentury, everyone knew Bennett Cerf: witty, beloved, middle-aged panelist on What’s My Line?, whom TV brought into America’s homes each week. They didn’t know the handsome, driven young man of the 1920s who’d vowed to become a great publisher, and a decade later, was. By then, he’d signed Eugene O’Neill, Gertrude Stein, William Faulkner, and had fought the landmark censorship case that gave Americans the freedom to read James Joyce’s Ulysses.With his best friend and lifelong business partner Donald Klopfer, and other young Jewish entrepreneurs like the Knopfs and Simon & Schuster, Cerf remade the book business: what was published, and how. In 1925, he and Klopfer had bought the Modern Library and turned it into an institution, then founded Random House, which eventually became a home to Truman Capote, Ralph Ellison, Ayn Rand, Dr. Seuss, Toni Morrison, and many more. Even before TV, Cerf was a bestselling author and columnist as well as publisher; the show super-charged his celebrity. A brilliant social networker and major influencer before such terms existed, he connected books-Broadway-TV-Hollywood-politics. A fervent democratizer, he published “high,” “low,” and wide, and from the roaring twenties to the swinging sixties collected an incredible array of friends, having a fabulous time along the way. For four decades, Gayle Feldman has reported on publishing for Publishers Weekly, The New York Times, The Bookseller, and others. Using new and deeply researched material from 200 interviews and many archives, she recalls Bennett Cerf to vibrant life, bringing booklovers into his world and time, and finally giving a true American original his due.
Ce récit autobiographique de Robert Brasillach (1909-1945) couvre la période 1925-1939, celle de la maturité intellectuelle entre l'arrivée émerveillée du lycéen de province dans le Paris des années folles et la mobilisation du journaliste engagé au début de la seconde guerre. Et s'il ne s'est pas intitulé Mon avant-guerre, c'est qu'il est surtout un hymne à la jeunesse et à l'amitié.
