Alca impennis L Riesenalk : un oiseau disparu au charme intemporel De kunstdruk Alca impennis L Riesenalk, werk van Johann Friedrich Naumann, roept de majesteit op van een vogel die vandaag de dag niet meer bestaat. Met delicate kleuren, variërend van diepzwart tot stralend wit, vangt dit doek de essentie van de natuur. De aquareltechniek, gebruikt met opmerkelijke precisie, brengt dit zeevogel tot leven, waarvan de blik lijkt door te dringen tot de toeschouwer. De sfeer van het werk is doordrenkt met melancholie, en herinnert aan de kwetsbaarheid van de biodiversiteit en het belang van het behoud van soorten. Johann Friedrich Naumann : een pionier in artistieke ornithologie Johann Friedrich Naumann, natuuronderzoeker en kunstenaar uit de 19e eeuw, speelde een essentiële rol in de illustratie van de ornithologie. Geïnspireerd door de naturalistische bewegingen van zijn tijd, wist hij kunst en wetenschap te combineren om de schoonheid van vogels vast te leggen. Zijn carrière, gekenmerkt door reizen door Europa, stelde hem in staat om vele soorten te observeren en te tekenen. Naumann wordt erkend voor zijn bijdrage aan de kennis van de ornithologie, en zijn werken, zoals deze kunstdruk, zijn waardevolle getuigenissen van de vogelfauna uit zijn tijd. Een decoratief stuk met vele voordelen De kunstdruk Alca impennis L Riesenalk is een ideaal decoratief stuk om je interieur te verrijken, of het nu in een woonkamer, kantoor of slaapkamer is. De kwaliteit van de afdruk en de fideliteit aan de details maken er een boeiend schilderij van dat de aandacht trekt. De esthetische aantrekkingskracht van dit doek ligt in zijn vermogen om gesprekken over de natuur en het behoud ervan te stimuleren. Door dit werk in je inrichting te integreren, breng je een vleugje elegantie en reflectie over onze omgeving.Shipping Notes

Listening to Life
I don't remember why I bought this book. It probably wasn't that it won the National Book Award for 2011; more likely that it's about the Mississippi coast in the time prior to Hurricane Katrina. I have family living on that coastline, and have visited the area many times, being from the not-so-far-away Louisiana "hill country." (Don't laugh - there are some.)
I'm white, though, and while all Southerners of all classes and races interact (although they sometimes don't act like it), this book has a lot to say about the underprivileged of all ilks throughout the South. The book is about a black family - or what remains of one - in the two weeks or so leading up to Katrina.
The principal character and narrator is the girl of the family, Esch, and she's pregnant. Esch has an alter ego of sorts in her brother Skeetah's pit bull, China, who in the first few pages gives birth to her first litter. Skeetah is something of a dog whisperer, and his hold on China is little short of magical. There's another brother, Randall, who has hoop dreams, and a late addition to the family, Junior.
A young lad named Manny has done the dirty with Esch; she's in love with him, and is reluctant to tell him she's pregnant. She goes through all the usual throes of morning sickness, having to guess what's going on in her biology, but she's a plucky kid, and she perseveres.
When Katrina hits, the family, which has already been turned upside down by poverty and the brood's mother's earlier death, is turned - I don't know - sideways.
But this isn't a story about victimization. It owes a lot to Hugo's underclass in Les Miserables - they improvise, they adapt, they attempt continually to overcome. Ward's book leaves us with a poignant ending, but one with resilience and promise.
Jesmyn Ward knows how to hold a reader, she takes us deep into the souls of Esch, particularly, but each of the others in the family as well. She paces her story like a pro, never leaving us in despair, with a hint of promise just over the horizon. The story's details are what continued to charm me: Esch-as-narrator's eloquence, her insight (although she often spoke more "street" in dialogue - but it works) into her condition, the family's ongoing plight as well as their separate and collaborative dreams. The attention to nature: the weather, of course, the dog's fleas, ants crawling across Esch's toes, the smell of the unkempt house, the feel of sweat, the ramen and Vienna sausages they eat. Even the details of a series of dogfights.
This book clearly deserves the award. It's about life, and I can tell you it speaks to life as a Southerner, regardless of race, or color, or creed.

An important, powerful story
Format: Paperback
Salvage the Bones tells the story of an African American family in Mississippi in the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina. The narrative follows Esch, a young girl who has just found out she is pregnant and is reluctant to tell her brothers and father about it. Her father, with the help of her brothers, is preparing for the impending storm, certain that it will be devastating even when others doubt it. Additionally, her brother Skeetah tends to his dog who has just given birth, China.
This novel tells an important story of survivors who are often overlooked. It is an intense and well-paced read, as both Esch’s baby and Katrina are constantly looming. I greatly enjoyed the interweaving of Esch’s family’s story with the broader history of Katrina that I am more familiar with; it really empowered me to consider the individual lives of all those affected and just how much was lost. The familial relationships in this novel are its best part— they are all so complex but feel very true to life. Ward’s writing is accessible and clear while still providing a rich and powerful reading experience. Sometimes, the novel felt a bit on-the-nose with its themes and allusions, to the point where I found certain images and phrases overly repetitive. However, that was just one small gripe to much richer reading experience.
If you are interested in themes of maternity, poverty, survival, and climate, or simply want to experience a powerful and necessary story, I would recommend Salvage the Bones.

Motherless Children and Widowers
Format: Kindle
A dead mother leaves four precocious children to a drunken husband, but not a worthless one, because he is, fortunately, prepared to face the storms of induced poverty in a racially segregated Louisiana.
In the midst of everyday survival, the major characters - humans and dogs - become ready and resourceful to withstand any storm. Jesmyn Ward takes her time to get them ready. And through her superb writing she rewards us with a refreshed perception of who these resilient characters represent in real life.
