In the decade preceding his untimely death, Frederic Remington (1861-1909) produced a series of paintings that took as their subject the color of night. This richly illustrated volume is the first to present all of these works--some seventy paintings that secured for Remington the critical acclaim he so coveted. Indeed, these magnificent nocturnes marked an important new direction for the celebrated illustrator, writer, and sculptor of America's vanishing frontier. 
 In these deeply personal works, Remington explored the technical and aesthetic difficulties of painting darkness. Surprisingly, his images are filled with color and light--moonlight, firelight, candlelight. Focused on the subject the artist had made his own--the American West--these paintings reflect Remington's dramatic reworking of the narrative tradition as well as the spare modernism of his late work.
 Frederic Remington: The Color of Night, accompanying the first exhibition devoted to the nocturnes, includes three insightful essays discussing Remington's nocturnes within the literary, historical, aesthetic, and technological context of his time. The nocturnes do much more than document a night that was rapidly disappearing under bright, newly installed electric lights. They also reveal how this son of a Civil War hero moved from burnishing Theodore Roosevelt's rough riding heroics in Cuba to exploring, like Stephen Crane and Ernest Hemingway, his own soul-searing war experience, and, like Joseph Conrad, to probing America's own heart of darkness. 
 As the definitive resource on Remington's nocturnes, this volume pairs large reproductions of these stunning paintings--including newly conserved works and others not seen publicly since the artist's death--with commentary from his personal diaries and letters and from contemporary critics.

The Devils (also translated as The Possessed) is one of the four major novels of the great nineteenth-century Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. This book is the first full-length English-language study of The Devils to examine the novel as a unified whole. Its approach is based upon recognition of a central theme of Dostoevsky's thought: the human need of and search for an ideal transcending the needs and demands of one's own self. Such an ideal may be expressed in many spheres - in religion, in the relations between human beings, and in aesthetics. As this work demonstrates, The Devils is a powerful psychological and sociological study of what occurs when the ideal of transcendence is denied in each of these spheres and a perverted ideal - an anti-ideal - is set up in its place.

About the Book BARNABY'S SONGNancy Floege AndersonAuthor ID: 966 864Being happy with ourselves, whatever our own unique strengths and frailties, is often a lesson late learned. For Barnaby, however, it comes early. Barnaby was born enjoying his genetic "gifts" and so wastes few moments in regret. Though from birth on, Barnaby's singing is a trial to all but him, he healthily deals with exclusion and animosity from others. Finally, during a fourth-grade emergency, the truth of his gift comes out. Barnaby's story sends a message of self-acceptance and promise of a time to shine. Who knows where hidden talents will take us? Maybe the vibrational cosmos has unseen dimensions for us all. Easy reading for grades three to five, Barnaby's story contains much use of figurative speech such as personification metaphors, similes, alliteration, and of course, oxymorons. Affixes and compound words provide teaching elements as well, making it an entity for classroom fun as well as individual enjoyment.
