ANNE-MARIE O’CONNOR OPOWIADA BURZLIWĄ HISTORIĘ XX WIEKU POPRZEZ LOSY UKOCHANEJ MUZY KLIMTA. Był rok 1898 i wydawało się, że w Wiedniu tańczy sam diabeł. Jedna z najwspanialszych stolic Europy była miastem bohemy, sztuki i artystów, ale jednocześnie wkraczała w nowy wiek z największą liczbą samobójców. Nadchodził czas zmian, paradoksów i pogoni za nowoczesnością. Właśnie wtedy ekscentryczny malarz postanowił ubrać modernistyczny Wiedeń w bizantyjskie złoto. Gustaw Klimt spotkał Adelę Bloch-Bauer i zakochał się w jej zmysłowych ustach, półprzymkniętych oczach oraz intelekcie. Uwieczniając ją na jednym ze swoich najsłynniejszych obrazów, dał jej wszystko, czego pragnęła – podziw i nieśmiertelność. Złota dama olśniła Wiedeń. Portret Żydówki uwiódł nawet Adolfa Hitlera. Był jednym z najcenniejszych skarbów Austrii, również wtedy, gdy krajem rządzili naziści, którzy bezlitośnie wymordowali rodzinę i przyjaciół Adeli. Jakie tajemnice kryje arcydzieło Klimta? Czy modelka była tylko muzą malarza, czy także jego kochanką? Co widziały smutne oczy z obrazu, gdy podczas wojny dewastowano piękny Wiedeń Adeli? I jak to się stało, że Złotą damę możemy dziś podziwiać w odległym Nowym Jorku? ZA HISTORIĄ WIEDEŃSKIEJ MONA LISY KRYJE SIĘ HISTORIA EPOKI „Fascynująca, ambitna, przenikliwa... Niezwykła opowieść o sztuce i czasach Holokaustu”. The Washington Post

Out-of-wedlock pregnancy was a mortal sin in 1950s Ireland, where unwed pregnant girls were confined to notorious mother-baby homes. There, nuns forced the girls to work fourteen-hour days and denied them medication to ease the pain of childbirth. When the babies were born, their mothers returned to working in hopes to take their children home, but the cruel church and Irish government sold the infants to wealthy American and European families. Marie O''Leary Wydra was one of those children. Adopted into her own hellish nightmare at age two, she never gave up hope that one day she would meet her birth mother again. Decades later, with her daughter Megan at her side, Marie set out to find her Irish mother. I Knew You Were There is the story of two daughters: one who always longed to meet her mother, and the other whose love for her mother and Ireland sends them on a journey they never dreamed of.

Delivers a comprehensive toolbox for understanding race and racism at structural, institutional, and individual levels This nursing handbook introduces and defines key terms about race and racism for nurses, nursing students, and nurse educators. It addresses how race and racism act as structural and core social determinants of health and propel health inequities. It moves beyond a focus on multicultural approaches for understanding inequity toward a recognition of the broader impact that both systemic and structural racism have had on inequality in health and life opportunities.

In concise chapters with brief paragraphs and bulleted information, this practical handbook offers strategies for how to productively engage in a dialogue about race and racism. It considers the history of racism in the United States and then breaks down how it operates at structural, institutional, and individual levels.

Parce que la langue de spécialité est à la fois objet de recherche et d''enseignement, parce que bon nombre de revues scientifiques du domaine publient régulièrement des articles pédagogiques et didactiques, cet ouvrage adopte une perspective didactique sur l''épistémologie émergente de la discipline. Cependant, une question se pose : comment dépasser le cadre strictement institutionnel et fonder, unifier la pratique et la réflexion épistémologique pour l''ancrer dans la didactique des langues vivantes étrangères. Le deuxième axe de cette réflexion « épistémologique à usage didactique » s''inscrit dans le champ de la praxéologie car il n''existe pas de « savoir en soi et pour soi ».

L''apprentissage d''une langue en immersion est un phénomène ancien qui revient régulièrement dans les débats contemporains sur l''acquisition de compétences langagières. Cet ouvrage constitue une réflexion en trois temps sur cette immersion. Tout d''abord, il s''agit d''établir un état des lieux des connaissances didactiques sur l''éducation immersive. Ensuite, l''auteur propose de considérer l''immersion comme un concept philosophique qui oppose institutions scolaires et société civile. Vient ensuite l''exemple de l''Irlande et de son bilinguisme.

7 chilling short stories by outstanding female writers.Women have always written exceptional stories of horror and the supernatural. This anthology aims to showcase the very best of these, from Amelia B. Edwards''s ''The Phantom Coach'', published in 1864, through past luminaries such as Edith Wharton and Mary Elizabeth Braddon. From tales of ghostly children to visitations by departed loved ones, and from heart-rending stories to the profoundly unsettling depiction of extreme malevolence, what each of these stories has in common is the effect of a slight chilling of the skin, a feeling of something not quite present, but nevertheless there. If anything, this showcase anthology proves that sometimes the female of the species can also be the most terrifying . . .

A EXTRAORDINÁRIA HISTÓRIA DA OBRA-PRIMA DE GUSTAV KLIMT: O RETRATO DE ADELE BLOCH-BAUER É o retrato de uma época, do esplendor de Paris e Viena e da desgraça que se seguiu no pós-guerra: a perseguição e o extermínio dos judeus. Gustav Klimt, um dos maiores pintores de todos os tempos, era considerado um rebelde no final do século XIX, em Viena, quando pintou a sedutora aristocrata Adele Bloch-Bauer. Este livro é também a história da família Bloch-Bauer, de banqueiros judeus e todo o sofrimento desse povo. A dama dourada revela a saga desse quadro conhecido como O retrato de Adele Bloch-Bauer. A jornalista Anne-Marie O''Connor descreve como foi confiscado pelos nazistas e a disputa internacional entre o governo austríaco e a sobrinha de Adele anos depois.

National Bestseller The true story that inspired the movie Woman in Gold starring Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds. Contributor to the Washington Post Anne-Marie O’Connor brilliantly regales us with the galvanizing story of Gustav Klimt’s 1907 masterpiece—the breathtaking portrait of a Viennese Jewish socialite, Adele Bloch-Bauer. The celebrated painting, stolen by Nazis during World War II, subsequently became the subject of a decade-long dispute between her heirs and the Austrian government. When the U.S. Supreme Court became involved in the case, its decision had profound ramifications in the art world. Expertly researched, masterfully told, The Lady in Gold is at once a stunning depiction of fin-de siècle Vienna, a riveting tale of Nazi war crimes, and a fascinating glimpse into the high-stakes workings of the contemporary art world. One of the Best Books of the Year: The Huffington Post, The Christian Science Monitor. Winner of the Marfield National Award for Arts Writing. Winner of a California Book Award.
