The Witt Library of the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, is one of the world's greatest art history libraries. It contains some 1.7 million illustrations of the work of painters, draughtsmen, and engravers of the Western tradition, all of whom have been indexed by name, dates, and nationality. This new second edition of the Checklist of Painters is a transcription of the Witt index as it currently exists. The names of 66,000 artists, their dates, and their nationality (or school) are reproduced in alphabetical order. The Checklist of Painters is probably the most exhaustive work of its kind in existence; it now lists all painters (known by art historians) to have lived and worked from the year 1200 to 1994. It will be an important reference text in the art history collection of any public, academic, or professional library.
This bibliography lists English-language translations of twentieth-century Italian literature published chiefly in book form between 1929 and 1997, encompassing fiction, poetry, plays, screenplays, librettos, journals and diaries, and correspondence.
Autorul prezinta in acest volum o parte dintre prozele scurte in care isi aminteste despre oameni si locuri din Romania. Cu exceptia catorva piese autobiografice marea majoritate sunt fictiuni pe care poate ca autorul le-a visat inainte de a le asterne pe hartie. Nu doar vise frumoase. Din cand in cand apare si cate un cosmar pe care nu se fereste sa-l prezinte. Vazuta din America, tara de bastina a autorului poate parea idilizata oarecum. Poate. Dar sufletul nu stie sa minta si esenta oamenilor si a locurilor descrise este cea adevarata. Cand vorbeste despre oameni, mai vechi sau mai noi, mai mult sau mai putin dragi sau doar intamplator intalniti in marsul prin viata, sau cand descrie locuri, mai ales pe acelea care ii sunt cu deosebire dragi, se simte un val de caldura umana emanand din fiecare cuvant; un dor parca, imposibil de ascuns sub zgura regulilor formale ale scrisului contemporan.
