hardcover. Condizione: As New. Prima edizione (First Edition). Volume pubblicato in occasione della mostra tenutasi presso il Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City 16 febbraio - 6 luglio 2020. Introduzione di Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Testi di Gerlad Early, Peter W. Kunhardt Jr., April M. Watson, Julian Zugazagoitia. 115 fotografie in bianco e nero di Gordon Parks. Biografie . Cm 30x26. pp. 216. . Perfetto (Mint). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Nel 1966 la rivista Life affidò al famoso fotografo Gordon Parks il servizio su Muhammad Ali, il giovane e sfacciato campione di boxe. Quattro anni dopo, nel 1970, i due si riunirono nuovamente per un secondo servizio su "The Great American Magazine". Questi incontri inquadrarono un passaggio critico nella carriera del controverso peso massimo, le cui opinioni contro la guerra e il separatismo nero avevano portato a una diffusa diffamazione negli Stati Uniti. Inoltre, segnarono un momento di transizione significativo per Parks, che a quel punto fece seguire al suo notevole successo nel campo del fotogiornalismo nuovi progetti come autore, regista e compositore. Collaborando a queste due storie, Parks e Ali hanno trasceso i loro ruoli di giornalista e atleta per dare un senso a un'epoca e alla lotta americana contro la disuguaglianza razziale, di cui entrambi erano protagonisti.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the early 19th-century social, political, and economic upheavals that shaped the tumultuous era of transition from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. The author, while acknowledging the social and economic progress of the time, challenges the long-held belief that it was a period of 'progress'. Rather, he argues it was a time when industrialization changed the landscape of both the social and political world, creating uncertainty and hardship alongside hope and prosperity. Through deep analysis of politics, economics, and the transformative power of steam-powered mechanization, the author recontextualizes the early 19th century as a time of great suffering for many but also as a period that contained the seeds of later progress and prosperity. It is a nuanced and thought-provoking study of the ideas and events that laid the groundwork for our present-day world.

E.Briefkarte (Postkartenformat, eng beschrieben) mit Ort, Datum, Unterschrift signiert Weimar, den 14.VII.82 - ausführlich an einen Schriftstellerkollegen. BEILAGEN : 14 Farbreproduktionen (Laserkopie, Postkartenformat) mit rückseitig eigenhändiger Bezeichnung von Inge Wangenheim.

4pp., 4to. On three leaves. In fair condition, aged and creased. The poem, headed 'Titanic', is 64 lines long, divided into 15 stanzas (the first ten numbered), and is signed and dated at the end, following 'R.I.P.', 'William Hall | May 1912'. The verse is heartfelt and devout, in style something of a cross between Walt Whitman and William McGonagall. Apparently unpublished. The author is unknown, but the poem reflects the popular response to the celebrated maritime disaster. The four stanzas on the first page read: 'T'was [sic] the eve of the Day of Rest | That the mighty Leviathan | Plowed her way through the Ocean's | Sleeping breast. || Lis't [sic] to the throb of her stately tread | Mark her proportions | From anchor to lofty head | Its harmony sublime || True to her name Titanic, = the vast | Immensity with triumphant symmetry bold | Tis like the pondrous Greeks sculptured cast | This though is silent, this energy untold. || Her maiden voyage! | See how she sweeps along | Joyful and free but alas alas, | The retreating waves echo | Alpha and Omega = | The first and the last.' The poem continues through the remaining eleven stanzas, with references to 'Gloomy forebodings' and 'silent heroism'. The Titanic's captain is envisioned as a 'noble figure on yonder sloping bridge', 'As the hymn "Nearer my God to thee" | Wafts its kindly benediction from below.' Final stanza: 'So do not mourn nor fret their loss, | They are in His Presence & tender care | Rather learn from the Vast never mind what it costs | That in our life the Eternal God must have a share'.…
