Los Angeles Review No. 12
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: GALE, KATE, Davio, Kelly, PUBLISHER: Red Hen Press, "The Los Angeles Review" started off with a small group of editors in Los Angeles and work mostly by L.A. writers. We've expanded through the years and now the editors are spread throughout California and the Northwest (plus one in Michigan). What unifies the journal is a focus on the writing of the Left Coast, on the way that the writing of the West works outside the framework of the traditional and the academic, pushes back against writing that fits into small spaces, writing that was written for a small group of elite intellectuals. Many of these stories look forward and backward at the same time, at what was and what could have been, at what will be and what could change. Writing in the West continues to evolve and move forward over the edge. It is the writing of desire. My definition of the writing of the West comes from my play, "The Moon Landing is a Hoax." We write about: Sky, clouds, water, hiking, boats, machines, wide open spaces, grasses, mountains, caves, racks of antlers, mustard seed growing, wild orchids, waterfalls, fat people, hairy people, ugly people, dipshits, trailer trash people, truck drivers, soldiers, gypsies, Mexicans, nuclear bombs, test sites, Las Vegas, military bases, guys that work on cars, half wits from Kansas, women with no teeth and curlers in their hair in case they go out later and all of us eating the dark that is America. Flynn Berry's "Surfing," the story of a man, as told by his brother, growing to adulthood, becoming addicted to drugs, going through one rehab stint after another, ends like this: "Here is what I want, out of the many, many things I want. I want to go to Berkeley to our old house in . I want to hang out with my brother when he is four, when he is bright and goofy. His hair is blond and he is three feet tall.... Below us is the wide shining bay, with no trace of the fog he loves to watch come in... I will tell him to be brave. That he will be fine. If I think about it closely enough, maybe it is true. Maybe it is happening right now, in one of the universes, in one of the dimensions that I can't see. He tilts his head, voice excited, telling me about a supernova. There, smell the eucalyptus. Try to imagine it better. Nothing--is unattainable." And that is what the work in LAR wants to believe. That we can push ourselves to the edge of the world and reinvent story, language, what is possible.
The Charlemagne Pursuit
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Berry, Steve, PUBLISHER: Hodder & Stoughton General Division, ONE Garmisch, Germany Tuesday, December 11, The Present 1:40 pm Cotton Malone hated enclosed spaces. His current unease was amplified by a packed cable car. Most of the passengers were on vacation, dressed in colorful garb, shouldering poles and skis. He sensed a variety of nationalities. Some Italians, a few Swiss, a handful of French, but mainly Germans. He'd been one of the first to climb aboard and, to relieve his discomfort, he'd made his way close to one of the frosty windows. Ten thousand feet above and closing, the Zugspitze stood silhouetted against a steel- blue sky, the imposing gray summit draped in a late- autumn snow. Not smart, agreeing to this location. The car continued its giddy ascent, passing one of several steel tres-tles that rose from the rocky crags. He was unnerved, and not simply from the crowded surroundings. Ghosts awaited him atop Germany's highest peak. He'd avoided this rendezvous for nearly four decades. People like him, who buried their past so determinedly, should not help it from the grave so easily. Yet here he was, doing exactly that. Vibrations slowed as the car entered, then stopped at the summit station. Skiers flooded off toward another lift that would take them down to a high- altitude corrie, where a chalet and slopes waited. He didn't ski, never had, never wanted to. He made his way through the visitor center, identified by a yellow placard as MYncher Haus. A restaurant dominated one half of the building, the rest housed a theater, a snack bar, an observatory, souvenir shops, and a weather station. He pushed through thick glass doors and stepped out onto a railed terrace. Bracing Alpine air stung his lips. According to Stephanie Nelle his contact should be waiting on the observation deck. One thing was obvious. Ten thousand feet in the high Alps certainly added a height-ened measure of privacy to their meeting. The Zugspitze lay on the border. A succession of snowy crags rose south toward Austria. To the north spanned a soup- bowl valley ringed by rock- ribbed peaks. A gauze of frosty mist shielded the German vil-lage of Garmisch and its companion, Partenkirchen. Both were sports meccas, and the region catered not only to skiing but also bobsledding, skating, and curling. More sports he'd avoided. The observation deck was deserted save for an elderly couple and a few skiers who'd apparently paused to enjoy the view. He'd come to solve a mystery, one that had preyed on his mind ever since that day when the men in uniforms came to tell his mother that her husband was dead. ""Contact was lost with the submarine forty- eight hours ago. We dispatched search and rescue ships to the North Atlantic, which have combed the last known position. Wreckage was found six hours ago. We waited to tell the families until we were sure there was no chance of survivors." " His mother had never cried. Not her way. But that didn't mean she wasn't devas

STORIA E AUTORE http://www.scrinium.org/scrinium/Opere.php?idProgetto=2&idOpera=&idLingua=1 La Bibbia d'oro del secolo raccoglie 280 miniature e capilettera miniati provenienti da più di 70 biblioteche e collezioni europee ed eseguite nei maggiori scriptoria dell'epoca. In tal modo l'unità spirituale d'Europa e del Vicino Oriente diventa percettibile e sorge una nuova consapevolezza del rapporto tra Vecchio e Nuovo Testamento, tra l'eredità ebraica e la sua conservazione cattolica. Nella scelta delle illustrazioni è stata considerata in modo particolare la stretta connessione contenutistica tra testo e immagine. La Bibbia d'Oro del Secolo non soltanto trae le sue immagini da manoscritti biblici e da evangeliari, ma utilizza anche manoscritti iconografici, salteri, pericopi e libri d'ore, in tal modo essa rispecchia il continuo contrasto del Medioevo con i racconti e le promesse della Sacra Scrittura. L’ampia gamma di illustrazioni, delle miniature cristiane più che millenarie, documenta in modo impressionante il cambiamento nell’interpretazione del testo biblico. A ciò è strettamente legata anche la variazione della rappresentazione iconografica nella quale sono riconoscibili la concezione antica del mondo e della fede come anche lo sfondo storico. Numerose illustrazioni provengono dai Codici della Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana Manoscritti ebraici miniati indicano una tradizione mai interrotta Capolavori bizantini con i loro ornamentali tappeti colorati attestano la propagazione della fede cristiana Nella Bibbia d’Oro del Secolo sono rappresentati celebri evangeliari dorati del Reichenau e di Echternach prodotti per Otto III, Enrico II, ed Enrico III,la Bibbia del Pantheon,la Bibbia di Gumpertus,la Bibbia di Hamilton ela Bibbia di Venceslao, il Salterio di Ingeborg, il Salterio di Ludovico il Santo, l’Apocalisse di Bamberg, il “Libro d’ore molto ricco del Duca de Berry” e molti altri importanti manoscritti di valore inestimabile. Nella Bibbia d’Oro del Secolo si possono conoscere in modo approfondito le miniature provenienti da importanti Biblioteche e collezioni Europee.
