Book Synopsis Lost Austin by : John H. Slate

Download or read book Lost Austin written by John H. Slate. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known to some as "Capitol City," "River City," and "Groover's Paradise," Austin is a diverse mix of university professors, students, politicians, musicians, state employees, artists, and both blue-collar and white-collar workers. The city is also home to the main campus of the University of Texas and several other universities. As Austin has grown to become more cosmopolitan, remnants of its small-town heritage have faded away. Austin's uniqueness--both past and present --is reflected in its food, architecture, historic places, music, and businesses. Many of these beloved institutions have moved on into history. While some are far removed in the mists of time, others are more recent and generate fond memories of good times and vivid experiences. Images of America: Lost Austin explores, through the collections of the Austin History Center and others, where Austinites once shopped, ate, drank, and played.

Download or read book Chasing Shadows written by Lynn Austin. This book was released on 2021-06-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of bestselling WWII fiction comes a powerful novel from Lynn Austin about three women whose lives are instantly changed when the Nazis invade the neutral Netherlands, forcing each into a complicated dance of choice and consequence. Lena is a wife and mother who farms alongside her husband in the tranquil countryside. Her faith has always been her compass, but can she remain steadfast when the questions grow increasingly complex and the answers could mean the difference between life and death? Lenas daughter Ans has recently moved to the bustling city of Leiden, filled with romantic notions of a new job and a young Dutch police officer. But when she is drawn into Resistance work, her idealism collides with the dangerous reality that comes with fighting the enemy. Miriam is a young Jewish violinist who immigrated for the safety she thought Holland would offer. She finds love in her new country, but as her family settles in Leiden, the events that follow will test them in ways she could never have imagined. The Nazi invasion propels these women onto paths that cross in unexpected, sometimes-heartbreaking ways. Yet the story that unfolds illuminates the surprising endurance of the human spirit and the power of faith and love to carry us through.

Book Synopsis Lost Envoy by : Jonathan Allen

Download or read book Lost Envoy written by Jonathan Allen. This book was released on 2016. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Spring of 2013 a 79-card, hand-painted tarot deck created c.1906 by the mystic and artist Austin Osman Spare, was identified within the collections of The Magic Circle Museum in London. Austin Spare's life-long interest in cartomancy is well documented, yet very few of his own fortune-telling cards were thought to have survived. This compelling new example of the artist's early work demonstrates his precocious involvement with the currents that shaped the British Occult Revival at the beginning of 20th century, and his interactions with some of the period's lesser-known protagonists. Magic Circle Museum curator and artist Jonathan Allen immediately recognised that Spare's cards were not only art-historically significant, but also entirely unknown outside of The Magic Circle's collections, and set about tracing the deck's provenance, its place in the artist's oeuvre and within the wider histories of cartomancy. Lost Envoy reproduces Austin Spare's tarot deck in its entirety for the first time, alongside new written and visual contributions from Jonathan Allen, Phil Baker, Helen Farley, Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neill, Sally O'Reilly and Gavin Semple. The book is designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio, with a cover incorporating the vibrant back colours of Spare's cards, a period binding common to many of the volumes found in The Magic Circle library and a gold deboss of the artist's autographic 'bird-head' motif, as discovered within the deck itself. The numbered and debossed special edition contains several fold-out sections showing conspicuous alignment between cards.--Publisher.

Book Synopsis Austin Osman Spare by : Phil Baker

Download or read book Austin Osman Spare written by Phil Baker. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Austin Spare was described as the greatest draughtsman in England and was the enfant terrible of the Edwardian art scene but by the time of his death he was living in squalor and all but forgotten. This engaging biography charts the rise and fall of British art's darkest star, who was facinated by mysticism and spirtualism and practised automatic drawing before the Surrealists and developed a unique system of magic. By the 1930s Spare had retreated from fashionable society, living in poverty and obscurity but he never stopped working, only now is his work seen.
