|  Produktbeschreibung (21621534): God only knows what would have happened next, but at this instant Alas-to my amazement, for I had thought that the bullet had gone through her heart --rose to an upright posture, and made a commanding gesture, which arrested those who were now hurrying to take a part in the scene. All, natives as well as ourselves, stood as motionless as stone. Her face was pale and her eyes were wonderful to look upon. With a gasp of thankfulness, I noticed that the blood on her breast was but a narrow streak Juba, staring at her, slowly withdrew his foot from his prostrate opponent, and Ingra first sat up, and then got upon his feet. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 21.95 bestellen! |

Hand and Mind: What Gestures Reveal about Thought (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (22475673): Using data from more than ten years of research, David McNeill shows that gestures do not simply form a part of what is said and meant but have an impact on thought itself. ´´Hand and Mind´´ persuasively argues that because gestures directly transfer mental images to visible forms, conveying ideas that language cannot always express, we must examine language and gesture together to unveil the operations of the mind. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 36.95 bestellen! |

| | Produktbeschreibung (21104008): After you left...After you left, I often thought I saw you coming down a street, sitting on the terrace of a cafe, a silhouette, a gesture, that strange sway of the shoulders, out of step, that you had when you walked. It could not be you. Each time, a jolt in my chest, the heart tightening up, it seems, just before it collapses. It was never you. Published in France in 1986, The Hermitage is a compelling and heartbreaking soliloquy, a farewell to a lover long gone and to the self-imposed exile undertaken by the woman he left behind. The narrator, looking back over the ten years she has spent as a recluse, spends one final night pouring out her feelings of tragedy and loss. During the night she will toss off her old identity and then step out into a new one - more redemptive, more hopeful - with the rise of the sun. She will pass through an open door, ´´cured´´ of this lover but not of love, her fate unknown but finally her own. Marie Bronsard´s language expresses tragic loss with an austerity reminiscent of Duras and Ernaux. The Hermitage is for anyone ever tempted to write that last unwritten letter. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 10.95 bestellen! |

The Voyage of the Argo: The Argonautica of Gaius Valerius Flaccus (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (22348122): This piece is playful, unpredictable, oddly contrarian, sometimes almost mannerist. Valerius´ description in book 8 of Medea´s putting the serpent to sleep so Jason can filch the fleece involves a gesture no other Latin poet I know would have thought to try--a brief moment in Medea´s head when she allows herself to feel sorry for the snake ...It is this kind of droll surprise that drew me to undertake the translation of a work that is not, I freely confess, well known.´´--David Slavitt ´´Slavitt´s rendering is a pleasure to read and captures the essence of the original--conveying its force, novelty, and excitement. I expect that it will gain Valerius Flaccus a substantial readership.´´--David Konstan, Brown University | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 23.95 bestellen! |

Conducting Beethoven: Volume 1: The Symphonies (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22235232): It might be thought presumptuous to detail every thought, beat, and gesture in conducting the standard repertoire, for the art of interpretation must always, by its very nature, be a personal one. But from his lifelong experience in conducting the Beethoven symphonies Norman Del Mar is able to lead us in a discussion of them with passion and great insight. This is an essential guide for students of these great works and a starting-point for young conductors. Del Mar offers an analysis of the music´s structure, pointing out key events in the score and offering advice on how to achieve the desired effect. He also compares variant readings in the different editions. But his book further traces the development of Beethoven´s style and that of the symphony over the 24 years of their composition, from the inspired yet simple First, so evocative of Haydn and Mozart, to the supreme peak of the ´Choral´, one of the greatest masterpieces of the symphonic form. Del Mar is thus able to speak to all devotees of Beethoven´s symphonic output, and enhance our appreciation of these works. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 25.95 bestellen! |

| | Produktbeschreibung (21515360): Tweety, however, drops a bowling ball down the gutter; Sylvester swallows the ball. Over the course of twenty-five years, McNeill showed this cartoon to numerous subjects who spoke a variety of languages. A fascinating pattern emerged. Those who remembered the exact sequence of the cartoon while retelling it all used the same gesture to describe Sylvester´s position inside the gutter. Those who forgot, in the retelling, that Sylvester had first climbed the outside of the gutter did not use this gesture at all. Thus that gesture becomes part of the ´´growth point´´ - the building block of language and thought. An ambitious project in the ongoing study of the relationship of how we communicate and its connection to thought, ´´Gesture and Thought´´ is a work of such consequence that it will influence all subsequent linguistic and evolutionary theory on the subject. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 32.95 bestellen! |
