Penguin U.S.a Дос Пассос Джон

In his extraordinary and highly charged new novel, John Updike tackles one of America's most burning issues – the threat of Islamist terror from within. Set in contemporary New Jersey, Terrorist traces the journey of one young man, from radicalism to fundamentalism to terrorism, against the backdrop of a fraying urban landscape and an increasingly fragmented community. In beautiful prose, Updike dramatizes the logic of the fundamentalist terrorist – but also suggests ways in which we can counter it, in our words and our actions

Джон Констебл – один из лучших европейских пейзажистов не только своего времени. Особенно велика роль художника в развитии сельского пейзажа. Его быстрые мазки придавали картине непосредственность, позволяли зафиксировать живое состояние природы и передать настроение художника. Содержание многих из них связано с местом рождения и первыми детскими впечатлениями живописца. Джон родился в местечке Ист­Бергхолт в графстве Саффолк в семье зажиточного мельника, знакомился с азами художественного мастерства под руководством местного художника­любителя Джона Данторна, а в 1799 году сумел поступить в Королевскую Академию искусств. Основным направлением Констебла­художника стала пейзажная живопись. Однако уже в годы обучения условные каноны академизма были ему не по вкусу
