This edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover (and A Propos of Lady Chatterley's Lover') newly establishes the text of D.H.

The Language of Images in Roman Art
ISBN: 9780521662000 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tonio Holscher develops a new theoretical concept for understanding the Roman art of images by establishing a connection between artistic forms and content and expressions of ideology--such as the glorification of state and ruler, war and triumph. A large role is played here by the reception of earlier images from Greek art. Roman art therefore appears to operate as a semantic system which, from an interdisciplinary perspective, can be compared with the forms of Roman literature as well as the language of images of other cultures.

A small book but every word is powerfully and perfectly placed. It is a dark allegory full of suspense, adventure, character development and psychological drama. The story is told by Marlow who on his journey up...
