The first time we met was at a party. Your ex arrived to show off the person he'd left you for last month, and you asked me to pretend to be your date. I was more than happy to help. You were attractive, smart and witty--and that kiss we shared? It left me wanting you for days. The second time we met was in my office on campus where we were both surprised to discover you were the new master’s degree student in poetry that I would be working with. You promised to be professional. I did no such thing. The late nights and intense study sessions spent alongside you majorly throw me off my game. I want you, and I fight with myself daily over this fact. I know I'm crass, that my sexual innuendos and dirty mouth annoy you, but I live for those two bright spots of color in your cheeks. If that's the only reaction I can get out of you, I'll gladly take it. You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous poem into your bag and your smile gets me through the week. I think I'm falling for you, and I know it's wrong. I know that I'm only supposed to be your adviser and nothing more, but here's the thing. I think you're falling for me too. xo, Zach

Giambattista Tiepolo (1696-1770) was the greatest Italian painter of the eighteenth century, best known for his monumental frescoes and epic altarpieces. The scale of these paintings is immense, even overpowering. Yet some of Tiepolo's finest work can be found in the small oil sketches that he often made in preparation for these grand commissions. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Giambattista Tiepolo: Fifteen Oil Sketches brings together a group of the artist's oil sketches from the Courtauld Institute in London that spans his entire career and reveals the amazing confidence and fluidity with which he created these paintings. The unusual intimacy of these preparatory sketches-made directly on the canvas with no preliminary underdrawing-reveals a great artist's vigorous imagination at work. The exhibit will run from May 3, 2005, to September 4, 2005. An introductory essay situates these works within the context of eighteenth-century art and Tiepolo's life and career.
Um homem sequestrado. Uma mulher em fuga. Uma investigação científica inovadora, à mercê de uma ambição desmedida. No meio de uma tempestade, um jovem diplomata é abandonado, moribundo, numa rua. A mulher por quem se apaixonara traiu-o, apunhalando-o, deixando-o sozinho, caído na calçada, à chuva, a lutar contra a morte. Todavia, quando esta espia, cuja beleza exótica seduz todos com quem se cruza, reaparece e o Serviço de Informação se apercebe de um pormenor, a história muda repentinamente. Que plano estará ela a urdir? E o que terá acontecido ao espião português? Será que conseguiu sobreviver? Tudo se complica quando um magnata é raptado e os negócios dúbios de um laboratório farmacêutico são questionados. Numa viagem deslumbrante por cenários extraordinários e cosmopolitas, como Moscovo, Praga, Londres, Lisboa e as Caraíbas, A Hora Solene é o derradeiro capítulo da trilogia de espionagem que revelou Nuno Nepomuceno. O desfecho dramático de uma grande narrativa, onde nada é o que aparenta ser, e que não será capaz de parar de ler.

A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer's perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire.
