Einer der bedeutendsten und einflussreichsten Architekten der japanischen Nachkriegszeit - Shinohara Kazuo (1925-2006) - ist ausserhalb einer kleinen Gemeinschaft treuer Anhänger bisher nahezu unbekannt geblieben. Als einer der führenden Vertreter der japanischen Architekturbewegung Metabolismus erreichte Shinohara Kultstatus mit erhabenen, puristischen Häusern, die sich von den gängigen Formen der japanischen Vorstädte der Nachkriegszeit abwenden.Bei seinem wahrscheinlich bekanntesten Bauwerk, dem House of White (1964-1966), gestaltet Shinohara vertraute Gestaltungselemente neu - ein quadratischer Grundriss, ein Spitzdach, weisse Wände, eine symbolische Mittelstütze - und verleiht dem Raum durch Abstraktion eine fast grenzenlose Weite. Der seiner Architektur zugrundeliegende Formalismus, der sich in elementaren Studien über Geometrie und Farbe ausdrückt, verleiht Shinoharas Werk eine poetische Qualität, die Einfachheit und Überraschung, das Geordnete und das Unerwartete verbindet.

The blistering story of a young man making his Broadway debut in Henry IV just as his marriage implodes an utterly transfixing book about art and love, fame and heartbreak from the acclaimed actor/writer/director.A bracing meditation on fame and celebrity, and the redemptive, healing power of art; a portrait of the ravages of disappointment and divorce; a poignant consideration of the rites of fatherhood and manhood; a novel soaked in rage and sex, longing and despair; and a passionate love letter to the world of theater, A Bright Ray of Darkness showcases Ethan Hawke's gifts as a novelist as never before.Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself after the collapse of his marriage, still half hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex. What saves him is theater: in particular, the challenge of performing the role of Hotspur in a production of Henry IV under the leadership of a brilliant director, helmed by one of the most electrifying and narcissistic Falstaff's of all time. Searing, raw, and utterly transfixing, A Bright Ray of Darkness is a novel about shame and beauty and faith, and the moral power of art.

Beowulf is one of the finest works of vernacular literature from the European Middle Ages and as such is a fitting title to head the Old English family of texts published in the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library.But this volume offers something unique. For the first time in the history of Beowulf scholarship, the poem appears alongside the other four texts from its sole surviving manuscript: the prose Passion of Saint Christopher, The Wonders of the East, The Letter of Alexander the Great to Aristotle, and (following Beowulf) the poem Judith. First-time readers as well as established scholars can now gain new insights into Beowulf--and the four other texts--by approaching each in its original context.Could a fascination with the monstrous have motivated the compiler of this manuscript, working over a thousand years ago, to pull together this diverse grouping into a single volume? The prose translation by R. D. Fulk, based on the most recent editorial understanding, allows readers to rediscover Beowulf's brilliant mastery along with otherworldly delights in the four companion texts in The Beowulf Manuscript.
