Tales of the Earth is a comprehensive yet concise overview of Native American mythologies. After outlining theories of the origins of Native North Americans, David Leeming considers the creation myths of many tribes, emphasizing four commonly occurring figures: the Great Spirit, the trickster, the goddess and the hero. Leeming suggests that in addition to these figures, Native American mythologies have in common a deep reverence for the earth, and for community responsibility as opposed to individualism – tenets that stand in stark contrast to the concepts of exceptionalism and Manifest Destiny that characterize the United States, a nation that was built on ancient tribal land.

На портретах ренессансных монархов и их придворных шелковые чулки неизменно гладко обтягивают ноги - в реальной жизни такое станет возможным только в XX веке, с появлением эластичных синтетических тканей. Это лишь один из примеров того, как художники исправляют повседневные несовершенства модного костюма, приближая его к идеалу. Картины показывают нам, как наряд должен был выглядеть (а не как выглядел на самом деле), в полной мере раскрывая его эстетический и чувственный потенциал.

Revered by artists and collectors since the seventeenth century, Claude Lorrain was a master of landscape painting, raising the reputation of the art form to new heights. His paintings present idealised views of nature, governed by Classical concepts and fuelled by the inspiration of the Roman Campagna. Claude’s special contribution was the poetic rendering of light, which would particularly influence the Romantic movement and change the course of art. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Claude’s complete paintings in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material.
