prvni lide na Mesici [The First Men in the Moon] / Hoffmeister, Adolf ; Wells, Herbert George., 1964

 Item
Identifier: CC-51750-72850
Scope and Contents

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 -- 13 August 1946) was an English author, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing text books. Together with Jules Verne, Wells has been referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction." Wells was an outspoken socialist and sympathetic to pacifist views, although he supported the First World War once it was under way, and his later works became increasingly political and didactic. His middle-period novels (1900--1920) were less science-fictional; they covered lower-middle class life (The History of Mr Polly) and the "New Woman" and the Suffragettes (Ann Veronica).Adolf Hoffmeister provided 18 collages to illustrate this book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Identifier: CC-52676-73812
Scope and Contents

The images for the picture poems are abstract and the captions are in Hebrew.

Psalm One Hundred Nineteen / Moss, David., 2014

 Item
Identifier: CC-59772-10002831
Scope and Contents

Moss writes,"Psalm 119 is a long, brilliant ode, praise, and paean to Torah itself...This work of art was my attempt to create a version of psalm 119 that highlights its intimate connection with the Hebrew alphabet, reflects its length and structure and relates to its prime theme of Torah.. ..I drew out an alphabet and wrote as much of the text as I could for each letter in micrography, outlining the letter itself...I continued the text by filling in the borders around the letters and around the whole text." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
