Description
Der Blaue ReiterDer opulente Band stellt anhand von fast 200 Werken Vielfalt und Nuancenreichtum der Bewegung des Blauen Reiters aus ganz unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln vor. Es wird eine Kunststrmung prsentiert, die sich, anders als die etwa zeitgleiche Brcke Malerei, nicht in starken Farbkontrasten und bewussten Deformationen der Krper artikuliert, sondern vielmehr durch eine abgestufte Farbskala und eine geschmeidig sanfte Linie auszeichnet.

Der opulente Band stellt anhand von fast 200 Werken Vielfalt und Nuancenreichtum der Bewegung des »Blauen Reiters« aus ganz unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln vor. Es wird eine Kunstströmung präsentiert, die sich, anders als die etwa zeitgleiche »Brücke«-Malerei, nicht in starken Farbkontrasten und bewussten Deformationen der Körper artikuliert, sondern vielmehr durch eine abgestufte Farbskala und eine geschmeidig-sanfte Linie auszeichnet. Auch in inhaltlicher Hinsicht hebt sich der »Blaue Reiter« durch eine meditative, betont geistige Sichtweise hervor; seine Protagonisten wollten den Materialismus der Vergangenheit hinter sich lassen. Der Entstehungszeitraum der präsentierten Werke geht über die eigentliche Kernzeit der 1911 von Wassily Kandinsky initiierten und bis 1914 in lockerer Formation bestehenden Künstlergemeinschaft hinaus. Damit wird auch die künstlerisch-stilistische Weiterentwicklung dokumentiert - so etwa bei Kandinsky, Jawlensky oder Klee, bei denen es in der Folgezeit zu einer Verfestigung des abstrakten Formenvokabulars kam. Eine weitere Besonderheit der Publikation ist zudem ihre Gliederung nach einer Vielzahl von Genres, wobei die unterschiedlichsten künstlerischen Techniken nebeneinander gestellt werden und auch Literatur und Musik mit einbezogen werden. Die vorgestellten Künstler (Auswahl): Heinrich Campendonk, Robert Delaunay, Alexej von Jawlensky, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Alfred Kubin, Franz Marc, August Macke, Hans Mattis-Teutsch, Gabriele Münter, Jean-Bloé Niestlé, Arnold Schönberg, Marianne Werefkin Ausstellung: Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, Ludwigshafen 11.11.2003- 29.2.2004Shipping Notes

History of Egypt
Format: Kindle
Egypt has played a vital role throughout history. This book traces and evaluates the history of Egypt from ancient times until the modern period. During ancient times, the Pharaohs created a strong Egypt. During the Ottoman times, Egypt played a significant role as a regional power. Both French and British played a vital role in Egyptian politics. The Suez canal put Egypt, an important player in world commerce. The Nasser regime entered Egypt into cold world politics. The USA managed under Sadat to place Egypt at the American camp. Eventually, Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel after various brutal wars. Egyptian culture dominated western civilization throughout the centuries. The reader will enjoy this book.

Great summary of Egyptian history
Format: Kindle
The book is—as the subtitle states—an “Overview of Egyptian History.” The book is a brief summary of Egypt’s long and interesting history. It starts with historical events: who were the rulers? What territories did Egypt conquer? Who conquered Egypt. The second part of the book discusses social, economic, and religious history.
This primer lays out all of the above topics but with little detail so the reader may wish to select topics of interest to study in further depth elsewhere. Because Egypt’s history includes millennia, I find it hard to understand, so reading this book was valuable to me.
The book is written in a style that makes it easy to read. It is not at all dry as some textbooks can be.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants an overview of Egyptian history and look forward to reading other books in the series.

Far from enthralling, but I did learn
Format: Paperback
This book was a disappointment. It looked like exactly what I was looking for: an overview of the history, society, and culture of Egypt from ancient to modern times that wasn't 500+ pages long. I did learn a fair bit of information, but unfortunately, the book is far from "enthralling." It reads like a high school student's book report. In addition, it sometimes just throws terms out there with no explanation, and I found myself having to consult Google. For example, it says "Since hieroglyphs were difficult to create, the Egyptians developed hieretic writing, which was a type of cursive script. Later, demotic writing was developed for ordinary documents." What is demotic writing? How is it different from hieretic? The book doesn't even provide a picture. I had to go to Wikipedia to find out what these things are. This book needs slightly more detail and an author with better writing style / storytelling abilities. That said, it still may be the best short introduction available.
