The present book is a compilation of critical articles of eminent writers deeply involved in studies on Conrad. By exploiting all major works of Conrad and also his critics who took interest in his art, the contributors have attempted to present an incisive and insightful analysis of Conrad’s literary genius. His masterpiece Heart of Darkness has been particularly studied with lucidity and profundity, and various elements like myth, loneliness, evil and racism contained in this well-knit work have been explored. Critical study of Conrad’s political vision and myth is another attraction of the present book. In addition, it aims at probing into Conrad’s sectarian penchant for his essentially literary perspective.\n\u003cbr\u003eIt is hoped that the students and teachers of English literature and research scholars in fiction—particularly those interested in the study of Conrad—will immensely benefit from this book while the general readers too will find it interesting and enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Publishers \u0026 Distributors (P) Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44908051988631,"sku":"9788126908189","price":385.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788126908189.webp?v=1769306204"},{"product_id":"mulk-raj-anand-his-art-and-concerns","title":"Mulk Raj Anand: His Art and Concerns","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): C.J.

We must also consider that color is also perceived differently in different countries and cultures. All this is widely explained in this second book in the Palette Perfect series, illustrated with projects by renowned international illustrators and designers, and organized by colors (identified with CMYK, RGB and HEX codes) and moods associated with the time of day. Diverging from the traditional segmentation of the color wheel, the book is divided into 24 chapters, each one being an hour of the day. This separation is represented visually by assigning a color to each hour, based on the usual daylight, temperature, mood and activities of that time, in the temperate climate zone. For example, the first chapters are the first hours of the morning, where the sky and the overall light is present but less intense. Around 1 pm the temperature is usually hotter, therefore represented with warmer colors (yellow and red); after midnight, the focus is put on activities that could be done at that time, like the neon lights of nightclubs. Based on real examples drawn from graphic, product and illustration, different innovative combinations and palettes are shown for each color and the meaning it conveys.

The show will feature over one hundred works. Born Markus Rothkowitz in Latvia in the early 20th century, the man who would soon become known as Mark Rothko began painting in the 1930s. While his early works were influenced by mythology and Surrealism, his first abstract paintings emerged in the 1940s with the Multiform series, followed by his Classic Years and the Black and Gray paintings. A key figure on the New York art scene, Rothko was an uncategorizable artist who deployed an extensive palette of colour and light with a talent that consistently triggers emotion. His great sensitivity shaped a poetic, enigmatic universe that leaves no one untouched. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Citadelles \u0026 Mazemod","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44931536683159,"sku":"9782850889509","price":4286.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9782850889509.webp?v=1769198346"},{"product_id":"the-great-moghuls-9781838510367","title":"The Great Moghuls","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Susan Stronge\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Victoria \u0026amp; Albert Museum\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: Asian - Indian \u0026amp; South Asian\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStunning treasures from the dynasty that created the Taj Mahal are showcased in this lavish book.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Great Mughals\u003c\/i\u003e presents, for the first time, the opulent, internationalist culture of Mughal Hindustan in the age of its greatest emperors: Akbar (r. 1556-1605), Jahangir (r. 1605-27) and Shah Jahan (r. 1628-58). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Providing a compelling new narrative to describe the origins of Mughal art, it explores how a huge Iranian influence permeated the sophisticated craft traditions of the Indian subcontinent to create a distinctively Mughal court are included, from contemporary portraits to jeweled gold vessels and carpets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In chapters that conjure the unique dynamics of each reign, essays with historical sweep combine with texts focused on important objects to tell unexpected stories about a dynasty perhaps best known for commissioning the Taj Mahal. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Victoria \u0026 Albert Museum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44931562766487,"sku":"9781838510367","price":3247.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781838510367.webp?v=1768541665"},{"product_id":"degas-9783836532716","title":"Degas","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Bernd Growe\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: Taschen\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: Taschen\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: Movements - Modernism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost commonly associated with the birth of the Impressionist movement in mid-19th-century Paris, \u003cstrong\u003eEdgar Degas \u003c\/strong\u003e(1834-1917) in fact defied easy categorization and instead developed a unique style, strongly influenced by \u003cstrong\u003eOld Masters, the body in motion, and everyday urban life\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The elder scion of a wealthy family, Degas cofounded a series of exhibitions of \"Impressionist\" art, but soon disassociated himself from the group in pursuit of a more realist approach.

Organised into popular subjects that are explored in entertaining detail, this book is a rich resource for makers, artists, restorers and collectors alike, as well as those who simply find themselves asking the question 'How does it do that?' Secrets of Automata is the culmination of its author's career-long fascination with automata mechanisms. Michael Start specialises in restoring clockwork figures and singing birds produced in Paris during the 19th century. It is no accident that this time and place became known as the 'golden age' of automata; the craftsmen of Paris competed with each other to capture a share of a growing global market for mechanical wonders. The various methods of portraying mechanical life using complex mechanisms and clever design were rarely recorded or publicised - but they are there, sealed within the automata themselves. As a restorer, Michael is unique in being able to provide a written exposé of the historical techniques of the lifelike movement. In Secrets of Automata, it is his great pleasure to share them with you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crowood Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44931810689175,"sku":"9780719843051","price":4256.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780719843051.webp?v=1767633291"},{"product_id":"the-ultimate-alphabet-9780764972133","title":"The Ultimate Alphabet","description":"\u003cp\u003e • Author(s): Mike Wilks\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher: MixGD\u003cbr\u003e • Publisher Imprint: MixGD\u003cbr\u003e • Subject: Creative Writing, Fiction\u003cbr\u003e • BISAC: Individual Artists - General\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe artist Mike Wilks set out in the 1980s to depict as many words as possible in twenty-six images corresponding to the alphabet.
