Sehr gutes Ex. - Mit farb. illustr. Einband. - Bildwirkereien aus der Textilsammlung des Museums für Byzantinische Kunst der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin bilden die Inspirationsquelle für die neue Serie monumentaler Malereien der New Yorker Künstlerin Gail Rothschild. Der Mythos der webenden Penelope aus Homers Odyssee regte sie dazu an, sich mit antiken Textilien zu beschäftigen. Minutiös erfasst sie die Prozesse des Webens und Entwebens. Ihre Werke erinnern an Vanitasgemälde. Die bunten Wirkereien aus dem spätantiken Ägypten, die zur Zeit ihrer Entdeckung um 1900 viele bedeutende Kunstschaffende, Theaterleute und Couturiers faszinierten, überführt Gail Rothschild mit ihren monumentalen Bildern in das 21. Jahrhundert. Auf den ersten Blick schauen sie aus wie einfache Kopien, dabei sind sie ganz eigenständige Kunstwerke mit einer eigenen Dynamik und Ausstrahlung. In der Gegenüberstellung mit den originalen Textilien entsteht ein beeindruckendes Wechselspiel zwischen vergangener Kultur und zeitgenössischem Kunstschaffen. … (Verlagstext) / INHALT : Vorwort - Essays - Bernhard Palme - Byzantinisches und früharabisches - Ägypten - Ines Bogensperger und - Regina Hofmann-de Keijzer - Gail Rothschild und das Rot der Schildlaus - Farbe und Färben in der Antike - Kathrin Mälck - Von der Reparatur bis zur Restaurierung - Zur Erhaltung der spätantiken Textilfunde - Cäcilia Fluck - Entdeckung und künstlerische Rezeption - spätantiker Textilien aus Ägypten - Peter Bichler - Faszination Textil - Vom Sehen und Sammeln - Thelma K.

Signed by author on dedication page. 217 pages. "...The World Order, in its anxiety to maintain control of every aspect of our lives, has banned passion. As a poor substitute, it gives us drugs and degeneracy. There are many facts in this book which you, the reader, will not wish to accept. I ask you to accept nothing, but to make your own investigations. You may find even more astonishing true facts than I have managed to glean in thirty-five years of intensive and in-depth research." - from Foreword.

375 pages. Index. "When I began my study I looked upon Woodrow Wilson as the villain of the ensuing drama. As I proceeded to delve into the debris of reminiscences and unwritten history, he gradually assumed some aspects of a martyr and a saint. There was a time when there was no one in the world whom I distrusted more than Edward Mandell House. Today he seems to me a genuine philosopher and a gifted statesman. Even if his good intentions, like Wilson's, have helped to pave mankind's way to hell, they gave us a glimpse of the Promised Land where peace abides and a new sanction governs the fate of nations." - xiv. It is commonly believed that Colonel House was in fact a Rothschild agent, assigned the task of seeing the Federal Reserve Act brought into law, thus privatizing the issuance of American money (again). If so, this book is of major importance to every American. Gift greetings, dated 1932, upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Binding intact.

198 pages including index and bibliography. "Here are the simple facts of the great betrayal. Wilson and House knew that they were doing something momentous. One cannot fathom men's motive's and this pair probably believed in what they were up to. What they did not believe in was representative government. They believed in government by an uncontrolled oligarchy whose acts would only become apparent after an interval so long that the electorate would be forever incapable of doing anything efficient to remedy depredations." - Ezra Pound, from Introduction.

381 pages. Nine black and white sketches. "No name has been more prominently before the public during the last sixty years or more, as that of this great financial firm. Its origin was so shrouded in humble obscurity, and the rapidity with which it sprang forward to prosperity and fame was alike so extraordinary and so remarkable, that the public gaze has been kept by a species of fascination upon the movements of the well-known fianciers. From one corner of the world to the other the success of the Rothschilds has been the subject of universal wonder and envy." - from pages 1-2. Above-average wear. Front hinge open. Library binding.

xvii, 301, 32 [ads] pp. 7.5 x 5.3 inches. "The circumstances under which the wealth, the power, and the numbers of the Jewish race domiciled in this country are likely to be indefinitely increased seem to call for more prescience and thought at the hands of our rulers than have yet been bestowed upon them. To make people think is the object of this book. Should they refuse, they will wake up one morning only to discover that they have parted with the realities of national life, and are dominated by cosmopolitan and materialist influences fatal to the existence of the English nation." - Introduction.

483 pages. "In this volume the author endeavors to give an accurate history of the present National Bank System of currency, including an account of the first United States Bank, - both of which were borrowed from Great Britain by those statesmen who, like the father of Sir Robert Peel, believed that a national debt was the source of prosperity. It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good, in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking, - a system which has produced panics at will, and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers, railroad wreckers, and those industrial tyrants of modern times, the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts. It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegating purely government powers to these greedy monopolists, by which they are enabled to organize a money trust, far more tyrranical than all the other combinations now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life." - from Introduction.

"Whatever place its author may ultimately occupy in future histories of England, one thing is certain, that in the history of the Jewish people the name of Balfour will enjoy unchallenged immortality, evoking comparison with that of Cyrus, for the issue of the Balfour Declaration marked the opening of a new epoch in the annals of Jewry which will be recognised as such even in the remotest centuries to come. In this little book have been gathered together all the utterances of Lord Balfour on the interpretation and implications of his Declaration, on its political aspects and its practical realisation, made during the last ten years." - Preface.

brossura Dopo "I Rothschild e gli altri", Pietro Ratto torna a ricucire pazientemente i collegamenti genealogici, finora tenuti nascosti, tra le famiglie che determinano gli equilibri economici, finanziari e politici mondiali, concentrandosi nello specifico sull'inimmaginabile influenza politica esercitata dalla famiglia dei Warburg (considerati i "Rothschild d'Amburgo") in Germania e il loro progressivo avvicinamento ai ricchissimi Rockefeller, sotto la protezione della grande dinastia Rothschild. Un'opera che offre una prospettiva nuova su moltissime vicende storiche degli ultimi secoli: le origini italiane di molte delle dinastie che hanno influito, e influiscono, sulla stabilità economico-finanziaria di grandi potenze straniere; la contrastata nascita e i tortuosi sviluppi della Federal Reserve; le insospettabili alleanze segrete tra fazioni e dinastie apparentemente rivali; le molte ombre sull'affondamento del Titanic; i veri obbiettivi di interventi internazionali finalizzati, ufficialmente, al ripristino della pace o degli equilibri mondiali. Tutto questo - e molto altro ancora - fa di questo saggio, un libro che disorienta, offrendo una prospettiva davvero nuova su moltissime vicende storiche degli ultimi secoli.
