Condizione: New.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'To know his work without his talk is "not to know him" .only when they are side by side is the common origin and aim seen and the complete man displayed.' Thus Thomas Rooke, studio assistant to Burne-Jones, who over four years memorised and recorded much of his master's studio and lunch-table talk. The man revealed with startling freshness and immediacy is far from the familiar painter of knightly melancholy and abstract angels. Burne-Jones emerges as a loveable and charming man, far more practical and down-to-earth, far more witty and ironic than might have been expected. He may still regret that he was not born in the Middle Ages and reminisce about the golden years with William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the 1850's and 60's. But he is still hard at work on his last great collaboration with Morris, the Kelmscott Chaucer, while not hesitating to fulminate about Britain's imperial pretensions and the hypocrisy that accompanied them. And he is unfailingly articulate when it comes to discussing the craft of painting in relation to himself, his contemporaries and the giants of the past. The conversations are edited by Mary Lago, Professor of English at the University of Missouri-Columbia, who also wrote extensively on William Rothenstein, Rabindranath Tagore and E. M. Forster.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the waning days of the Golden Age of Piracy, Captain Harrow and the crew of the Ravaged Wench carve profit from blood, salt, and sea. Discipline and violence have carried them farther than braver men ever dared. But when rumor of a crippled ship draws the Wench west by north from Port Royal, the promise of salvage leads Harrow and his crew into waters where compasses spin, prayers go unanswered, and the sea itself no longer obeys the laws of God or man. As strange winds gather around the ship and men begin vanishing into the black water, fear and superstition spread through the crew. Yet something older and far more dangerous than the sea itself has fixed its attention upon Captain Harrow. Far from land and beyond the reach of mercy, the Ravaged Wench sails toward a darkness from which no man returns unchanged. The Last Sounding is a work of historical psychological horror steeped in maritime dread, obsession, violence, and the terrible beauty of the unknown.
