Настоящий сборник избранных литературных произведений Древнего Египта — первый опыт их перевода для массового читателя. Это значительно усложняло работу переводчиков. Переводчики стремились познакомить советского читателя с древнейшими памятниками мировой литературы как с художественными произведениями. Стараясь сохранить максимальную точность перевода, они исходили прежде всего из требований, предъявляемых к художественному переводу вообще.

Although an American, Mary Cassatt spent the majority of her life in France and gained most of her fame and success in Europe. Not until after her death on June 14, 1926, at Chateau de Beaufresne, near Paris, did she become a truly celebrated American artist. Cassatt is known most for her paintings and pastels of mothers and their children. Never having been a mother herself, perhaps Cassatt was mesmerized by the familial bond so evident to observers of these unique relationships and in particular to someone with an artist’s eye, just like that of Mary Cassatt.

Although American by birth and heritage, James McNeill Whistler spent most of his life in western Europe, particularly in Paris and London, where he lived his life in a swirl of controversy over his art and his often self-aggrandizing behavior, which tainted his associations with fellow artists and the public. His guiding principle was “art for art’s sake” meaning that the artist should only work to please himself. Whistler’s tonally disciplined palette distinguishes his painting from all other artists and provides his work with sophistication and elegance.

Georges Seurat was one of the most important Post-Impressionist painters to lead the way toward the modern era in art. He is best known for developing pointillism, an exacting and time-consuming technique whereby tiny dots of paint are combined to create a composition. His work is stylized and considered, in complete contrast to the impetuous spontaneity of his precursors and contemporaries, the Impressionists. Seurat had a life-long fascination with optical observations and experiments and taught himself to become a master of color theory and linear structures.

Giuseppe Verdi remains the greatest operatic composer that Italy, the home of opera, has ever produced. Yet throughout his lifetime he claimed to detest composing and repeatedly rejected it. He was a landowner, a farmer, a politician and symbol of Italian independence; but his music tells a different story.An obsessive perfectionist, Verdi drove collaborators to despair but his works lauded from the start as dazzling feats of composition and characterization. From Rigoletto to Otello, La Traviatato to Aida, Verdi’s canon encompassed the full range of human emotion. His private life was no less complex: he suffered great loss, and went out of his way to antagonize supporters and his own family. An outspoken advocate of Italian independence and a sharp critic of the church, he was often at odds with nineteenth-century society.In Verdi: The Man Revealed, John Suchet attempts to get under the skin of perhaps the most private composer who ever lived.

We think we know the story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life. Austrian-born to a tyrannical father who worked him fiercely; unhappily married to a spendthrift woman; a child-like character ill at ease amid the aristocratic splendor of the Viennese court; a musical genius who died young thus depriving the world of future glories.Yet only that last point is actually true. In this comprehensive biography, John Suchet examines the many myths and misunderstandings surrounding the world's best-loved composer. From his early days as a child prodigy performing for the imperial royal family in Vienna to the last months of his short life, driven to exhaustion by a punitive workload, one thing remained constant: his happy disposition.

Первая большая картина Васи­лия Сурикова Утро стрелец­кой казни, представленная на IX передвижной выставке в 1881 году, произвела впечатление, подобное «удару грома». Одни бурно востор­гались картиной, подобно Илье Ре­пину, утверждавшему, что «она - наша гордость на выставке», другие упрекали художника за скученность композиции, за нетвердый рисунок, за темноватую живопись. Ясно было одно: картина никого не оставила равнодушным. Да и не могло быть иначе, настолько живо, ярко, силь­но был передан один из драматиче­ских моментов русской истории.
