-Titulo Original : The Drawings Of Heinrich Kley (dover Fine Art, History Of Art)-Fabricante : Dover Publications-Descripcion Original: This is a new unabridged edition of the two sketchbooks by Heinrich Kley, one of the greatest cartoonists and social satirists of modern times. Kleys drawings combine savage humor that cuts to the bone with unbelievably brilliant draughtsmanship. Several of these sketches have been reprinted time and again, and probably everyone has seen at least one. But until now the main body of Kleys work has been almost completely unavailable, and it has been impossible to savor the full richness of his mocking irony.First published in Munich in 1909 and 1910, Kleys sketches reflected the growing tensions of the twentieth century and the strong undercurrent of disillusionment that Europe was prey to. His frantic, posturing, iconoclastic brainchildren lash mercilessly at bureaucracy, militarism, false Gemutlichkeit, the eccentricities of reformer, the ballast of majesty, and many more facets of a weary civilization. Anyone interested in caustic social satire will find that these vivid, unforgettable cartoons are still among the most enjoyable and pungent examples of this art. Kleys bizarre hybrid and bestial forms (in the long tradition of European visionary fantasy exemplified by Hieronymus Bosch, the elder Breughel, and Goya) give them far more depth and levels of meaning than other works in the genre.Kleys imaginative universe and strongly individual style have often been imitated by later artists, but none has captured his acid depths. His nervous line quality and extraordinary technique are still inspirations for artists and cartoonists who want to learn how to draw line figures that practically leap off the page.A new introduction, specially written for this edition, gathers together the available information on Kleys life and training, the formative elements in the present sketches, and the other facets of his art.

-Titulo Original : The Story Of The Titanic As Told By Its Survivors (dover Maritime)-Fabricante : Dover Publications-Descripcion Original: Why does the sinking of the Titanic hold such fascination for us? Many reasons have been advanced for the continuing fascination of this epic tragedy, but none, we think, can contribute as much to an understanding of it as the four accounts collected in this volume.All four authors were survivors, and each presents the catastrophe from his own viewpoint; the icy waters, the cries of the drowning, the confusion, and the heroism, are given an intensely personal immediacy.This volume contains, complete and unabridged, The Loss of the S.S. Titanic, by Lawrence Beesley, and The Truth about the Titanic, by Col. Archibald Gracie. Both are full-length books published soon after the disaster. Each has become extremely rare today. The third story in this volume, Titanic, was written by one of the only officers to survive the catastrophe, Commander Lightoller. It includes the story of the white-washing inquiries into the Titanics safety measures. The last section is a dramatic tale by the Titanics surviving wireless operator, Harold Bride. Review This invaluable book collects some of the first-published first-person accounts of the tragedy, described in old-fashioned prose and enhanced by photographs and illustrations redolent of Edwardian society, with captions such as Ladies and gentlemen in riding habit exercised on mechanical horses and camels in the ships gymnasium.
