Paperback. Condizione: Good. How is it that the prolific nineteenth-century sculptor Moses Jacob Ezekiel is largely forgotten today? Ezekiel was the first renowned Jewish American artist and one of the most popular artist-celebrities of his day. In terms of drama, his life story rivals Alexander Hamilton's. Ezekiel fought for the Confederacy at the Battle of New Market as a teenager and was friends with Robert E. Lee. After the war, he established himself as an artist in Rome, where he was honored by European royalty and enjoyed friendships with the likes of Franz Liszt, Queen Margherita, and Kaiser Wilhelm II. Ezekiel created well over one hundred sculptures, but his hotly contested Confederate works have since obscured his other major accomplishments.Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, Moses Jacob Ezekiel resurrects this complicated artist's life and work and presents the fascinating details of how his sculptures were commissioned and made. Samantha Baskind shows how Ezekiel's sculptures shed light on a range of issues, including the modernization of American Jewry, radical changes in the art world concerning style and patronage, and Civil War commemoration. The conflicting allegiances that motivated Ezekiel's statues--his conservative Confederate leanings alongside his liberal views on peace, Judaism, and religious liberty--make him an intriguing lens through which to understand nineteenth-century transatlantic culture and history.This compelling book provides a complete picture of Ezekiel's oeuvre and his renowned home studio, which drew international visitors. It will appeal to readers interested in art history, Jewish studies, Civil War studies, American studies, and public monuments.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Annie Sullivan was little more than a half-blind orphan with a fiery tongue when she arrived at Ivy Green in 1887. Desperate for work, she'd taken on a seemingly impossible job -- teaching a child who was deaf, blind, and as ferocious as any wild animal. But Helen Keller needed more than a teacher. She needed someone daring enough to work a miracle. And if anyone was a match for Helen, it was the girl they used to call Miss Spitfire. For Annie, reaching Helen's mind meant losing teeth as raging fists flew. It meant standing up when everyone else had given up. It meant shedding tears at the frustrations and at the triumphs. By telling this inspiring story from Annie Sullivan's point of view, Sarah Miller's debut novel brings an amazing figure to sharp new life. Annie's past, her brazen determination, and her connection to the girl who would call her Teacher have never been clearer.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A heart-wrenching, suspenseful look at the downfall of the Russian empire as told through the eyes of the four Romanov sisters. Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia. Like the fingers on a hand--first headstrong Olga, then Tatiana the tallest, Maria most hopeful for a ring, and Anastasia the smallest. These are the daughters of Tsar Nicholas I, grand duchesses living a life steeped in tradition and privilege. They are young women each on the brink of starting her own life. The summer of 1914 is that precious last wink of time when they can still be sisters together--who link arms and laugh, sisters who share their dreams and worries, and who flirt with the officers of their imperial yacht. But in a gunshot the future changes--for these sisters and for Russia. As World War I ignites across Europe, political unrest sweeps Russia. First dissent, then disorder, mutiny--and revolution. For Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia, the end of their girlhood collides with the end of more than they ever imagined. At the same time hopeful and hopeless, na ve and wise, the voices of these sisters become a chorus singing the final song of this great empire. Impeccably researched and utterly fascinating, acclaimed author Sarah Miller recounts the final days of Imperial Russia.…
