Nejishiki / Yoshiharu Tsuge

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:07:52 +0900

Yoshiharu Tsuge. Nejishiki. First edition, Drawn & Quarterly, 2023; ©2023, The complete mature works of Yoshiharu Tsuge ; volume 3. ISBN:9781770465060; 1770465065
"The most critically acclaimed comic of the Japanese counterculture. Nejishiki unveils the most iconic scenes from Yoshiharu Tsuge's highly respected body of work alongside his most beloved stories. A cornerstone of Japan's legendary 1960s counterculture that galvanized avant-garde manga and comics criticism, the title story follows an injured young man as he wanders through a village of strangers in search of emotional and physical release. Other stories in this collection follow a series of weary travelers who while away sultry nights and face menacing doppelgangers. Even banal activities like afternoon strolls uncover unsavory impulses. The emotionally and erotically charged imagery collected in this third volume remains as shocking and vivid today as it did upon its debut fifty years ago. Tsuge's stories push boundaries, abruptly crossing the threshold of conventional storytelling. Unassuming protagonists venture further into eerie symbolism against a shadowy, perceptibly dreamlike landscape easily mistaken for the real world. The angst that pervades postwar Japanese society threatens to devour his characters and their pastoral sensibilities as each protagonist's wanderlust turns surreal" --

Mad about painting / Katsushika Hokusaiほか

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 23:49:12 +0900

Katsushika Hokusai; selected and translated by Ryoko Matsuba. Mad about painting. David Zwirner Books, [2023], Ekphrasis. ISBN:9781644230879; 1644230879
"Mad about Painting collects beautiful new translations of Hokusai's painting tutorials and related essays written by the artist and his peers--a selection made available in English for the first time. Best known for his iconic print Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known as the Great Wave, Katsushika Hokusai was a revolutionary printmaker. His mastery of ukiyo-e in the nineteenth century has inspired generations of artists since, and his works helped introduce the world to the delicate beauty and power of the Japanese woodblock technique. In addition to his remarkable artistic output, Hokusai was also a dedicated teacher who sought to pass down his unique understanding of color and painting to practicing artists through immensely detailed written tutorials and manuals, many of which are excerpted here, in English, for the first time. Connecting Hokusai's prints from the Edo period to contemporary Japanese art, the scholar Ryoko Matsuba's introduction foregrounds Hokusai's contributions to Japanese creative expression from the 1800s to today. Also included in this book: Vincent van Gogh's letter about Hokusai's Great Wave and the contemporary artist Ikeda Manabu's concise observations about Hokusai's lasting influence. This volume offers invaluable insight into the psyche of a true master, and a rare personal account of an artist's life during a fascinating period in Japan's history" --

Red flowers / Yoshiharu Tsuge

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:06:54 +0900

Yoshiharu Tsuge. Red flowers. First edition, Drawn & Quarterly, 2021; ©2021, The complete mature works of Yoshiharu Tsuge ; volume 2. ISBN:9781770464346; 1770464344
"Yoshiharu Tsuge leaves early genre trappings behind, taking a light, humorous approach in these stories based on his own travels. Red Flowers ranges from deep character studies to personal reflections to ensemble comedies set in the hotels and bathhouses of rural Japan. There are irascible old men, drunken gangsters, reflective psychiatric-hospital escapees, and mysterious dogs. Tsuge's stories are mischievous and tender even as they explore complex relationships and heartache. It's a world of extreme poverty, tradition, secret fishing holes, and top-dollar koi farming...Red Flowers affirms why Tsuge went on to become one of the most important cartoonists in Japan. These vital comics inspired a wealth of fictionalized memoir from his peers and a desire within the postwar generation to document and understand the diversity of their country's culture."--

Cicero : Brutus and Orator / translated, with introduction and notes by Robert Kaster

Wed, 18 Aug 2021 18:22:04 +0900

translated, with introduction and notes by Robert Kaster. Cicero : Brutus and Orator. Oxford University Press, [2020]. ISBN:9780190857844; 9780190857851
"These translations of the Brutus and Orator were conceived as a sequel to the excellent translation of the De oratore by James May and Jaap Wisse, also published by Oxford University Press (Cicero: On the Ideal Orator, Oxford 2001). The book's raison d'être is easily stated. No new, complete, and readily available English versions of the two texts have appeared since the Loeb Classical Library edition was published in 1939, with translations by G. L. Hendrickson and H. M. Hubbell. Though both translations are accurate and still readable (Hendrickson's, in fact, is excellent), the introductions to the two works are brief and insufficient, and the annotation (in the manner of older Loebs) is still less adequate. Furthermore, our understanding of Cicero and the late Roman Republic has changed significantly in the eighty years since the Loeb appeared, and the resources available to students of the Brutus, in particular, are much more ample. I have reason to hope, therefore, that this book will be of some use. There is no need to discuss here the overall plan of the book, which the table of contents makes clear, or the approach taken to the translation and annotation; addressed in Introduction par. 5. The annotation very likely provides more detail than some readers will require, but I thought it best to err on the side of inclusion and leave it to readers to ignore-as readers can be relied on to do-material that does not speak to their needs or interests. I should add two notes. First, because Brutus and Orator are the most important sources for our understanding of Roman "Atticism" (Introduction par. 3), I have included in Appendix A a translation of the third Ciceronian text that bears on that subject, On the Best Kind of Orator (De optimo genere oratorum), a brief fragment that Cicero wrote but abandoned in the interval between the composition of Brutus and Orator in 46 BCE. Second, for the fragmentary remains of orators other than Cicero I have retained references to the fourth edition of Enrica Malcovati's Oratorum Romanorum Fragments (e.g., "ORF4 no. 8 fr. 149"), despite the fact that its successor, Fragments of the Roman Republican Orators (FRRO)-the work of a team led by Catherine Steel-will soon appear. The orators in FRRO will not be numbered and ordered chronologically, as they are in ORF4, but will be organized alphabetically by clan; name for ready location, and a set of concordances will facilitate movment back and forth between the two editions"--

And then came dance : the women who led Volynsky to ballet's magic kingdom / translated, edited, and with an introduction and notes by Stanley J. Rabinowitz.

Wed, 14 Oct 2020 01:25:38 +0900

translated, edited, and with an introduction and notes by Stanley J. Rabinowitz.. And then came dance : the women who led Volynsky to ballet's magic kingdom. Oxford University Press, [2019]. ISBN:9780190943363; 019094336X; 9780190943370; 0190943378
" At 49 years old, Russian literary scholar, art historian, and journalist Akim Volynsky (1861-1926) experienced a turning point in his intellectual and emotional life, embarking on a journey to become the foremost ballet critic in Russia of his time. His corpus of nearly 300 reviews of women dancers, as well as the performances that graced St. Petersburg's storied Maryinsky Theater between 1911 and 1924, helped catapult two generations of exceptional women achievers to a status they had not previously enjoyed. But Volynsky's depiction of the body beautiful on stage, represented here by 34 previously untranslated articles about a dozen ballerinas, was preceded by his earlier attention to women in literature, in art, and in real life. Presenting for the first time Volynsky's pre-balletic writings on Leonardo da Vinci, Dostoevsky, Otto Weininger, and on such illustrious personalities as Zinaida Gippius, Ida Rubinstein, and Lou Andreas-Salome, And Then Came Dance provides new insight into the origins of Volynsky's life-altering interest in dance, and in female dancers in particular. A man for whom the realm of art was largely female in form and whose all-encompassing image of woman constituted the crux of his aesthetic contemplation that crossed over into the personal and libidinal, Volynsky looks ahead to another Petersburg-bred high priest of classical dance, George Balanchine. Indeed, with an undeniable proclivity toward ballet's female component, Volynsky's dance writings, illuminated here by examples of his earlier gendered criticism, invite speculation on how truly ground-breaking and forward-looking this understudied critic is.

The swamp / Yoshiharu Tsuge

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 17:07:25 +0900

Yoshiharu Tsuge. The swamp. First edition, Drawn & Quarterly, 2020; ©2020, The complete mature works of Yoshiharu Tsuge ; volume 1. ISBN:9781770463844; 1770463844
"Yoshiharu Tsuge is one of the most influential and acclaimed practitioners of literary comics in Japan. The Swamp collects work from his early years, showing a major talent coming into his own. Bucking the tradition of mystery and adventure stories, Tsuge's fiction focused on the lives of the citizens of Japan. These mesmerizing comics, like those of his contemporary Yoshihiro Tatsumi, reveal a gritty, at times desperate postwar Japan, while displaying Tsuge's unique sense of humor and point of view. 'Chirpy' is a simple domestic drama about expectations, fidelity, and escape. A couple purchase a beautiful white bird with a red beak. It is said that the bird will grow attached to its owners and never fly away. While the girlfriend is working as a hostess, flirting with men for money, the boyfriend decides to draw a portrait of the new family member, and disaster strikes. In 'The Swamp', a simple rural encounter is charged with sexual tension that is alluring but also fraught with danger. When a young woman happens upon a wing-shot goose, she tries to calm it then suddenly snaps its neck. Later, she befriends a young hunter and offers him shelter, but her motivations remain unclear, especially when the hunter notices a snake in the room where they'll both be sleeping."--Provided by publisher

Constitutional and political theory : selected writings. Volume 1 / Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenfördeほか

Fri, 07 May 2021 01:15:38 +0900

Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde; edited by Mirjam Künkler and Tine Stein. Constitutional and political theory : selected writings. Volume 1. First edition, Oxford University Press, 2017, Oxford constitutional theory. ISBN:9780198714965; 0198714963
Ernst-Wolfgang Bockenforde (b. 1930) is one of Europe's foremost legal scholars and political thinkers. As a scholar of constitutional law and a judge on Germany's Federal Constitutional Court (December 1983 - May 1996), Bockenforde has been a major contributor to contemporary debates in legal and political theory, to the conceptual framework of the modern state and its presuppositions, and to contested political issues such as the rights of the enemies of the state, the constitutional status of the state of emergency, citizenship rights, and challenges of European integration. His writings have shaped not only academic but also wider public debates from the 1950s to the present, to an extent that few European scholars can match. As a federal constitutional judge and thus holder of one the most important and most trusted public offices, Bockenforde has influenced the way in which academics and citizens think about law and politics. During his tenure as a member of the Second Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court, several path-breaking decisions for the Federal Republic of Germany were handed down, including decisions pertaining to the deployment of missiles, the law; on political parties, the regulation of abortion, and the process of European integration. In the first representative edition in English of Bockenforde's writings, this volume brings together his essays on constitutional and political theory. The volume is organized in four sections, focusing respectively on (I) the political theory of the state; (II) constitutional theory; (III) constitutional norms and fundamental rights; and (IV) the relation between state, citizenship, and political autonomy. Each of these four cornerstones of Bockenforde's legal and political thinking features introductions to the articles as well as a running editorial commentary to the work. A second volume will follow this collection, focusing on the relation between religion, law, and democracy

The idea of a moral economy : Gerard of Siena on usury, restitution, and prescription / Lawrin Armstrong.

Tue, 01 Aug 2017 23:26:42 +0900

Lawrin Armstrong.. The idea of a moral economy : Gerard of Siena on usury, restitution, and prescription. University of Toronto Press, [2016], Toronto studies in medieval law. ISBN:9781442643222; 1442643226
"The Idea of a Moral Economy is the first modern edition and English translation of three questions disputed at the University of Paris in 1330 by the theologian Gerard of Siena. The questions represent the most influential late medieval formulation of the natural law argument against usury and the illicit acquisition of property. Together they offer a particularly clear example of scholastic ideas about the nature and purpose of economic activity and the medieval concept of a moral economy. In his introduction, editor Lawrin Armstrong discusses Gerard's arguments and considers their significance both within the context of scholastic philosophy and law and as a critique of contemporary mainstream economics. His analysis demonstrates how Gerard's work is not only a valuable source for understanding economic thought in pre-modern Europe, but also a fertile resource for scholars of law, economics, and philosophy in medieval Europe and beyond."--
