  • [MCTA]⋙ Them: a Memoir of Parents by Francine Du Plessix Gray #BZ8F27I69QP #Free Read Online
    Them: A Memoir of Parents Francine du Plessix Gray Click here if your download doesn"t start automatically Them: A Memoir of Parents Francine du Plessix Gray Them: A Memoir of Parents Francine du Plessix Gray Tatiana du Plessix, the wife of a French diplomat, was a beautiful, sophisticated "white Russian" who had been the muse of the famous Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. Alexander Liberman, the ambitious son of a prominent Russian Jew, was a gifted magazine editor and aspiring artist. As part of the progressive artistic Russian émigré community living in Paris in the 1930s, the two were destined to meet. They began a passionate affair, and the year after Paris was occupied in World War II they fled to New York with Tatiana's young daughter, Francine. There they determinedly rose to the top of high society, holding court to a Who's Who list of the midcentury's intellectuals and entertainers. Flamboyant and outrageous, bold and brilliant, they were irresistible to friends like Marlene Dietrich, Salvador Dalí, and the publishing tycoon Condé Nast. But to those who knew them well they were also highly neurotic, narcissistic, and glacially self-promoting, prone to cut out of their lives, with surgical precision, close friends who were no longer of use to them. Tatiana became an icon of New York fashion, and the hats she designed for Saks Fifth Avenue were de rigueur for stylish women everywhere. Alexander Liberman, who devotedly raised Francine as his own child from the time she was nine, eventually came to preside over the entire Condé Nast empire.

  • Books and People. How We Helped the Oldest Library in New York Energize Its Brand While Maintaining Its Distinguished Character
    BERNHARDT FUDYMA DESIGN GROUP Thinking about brands in transition Books and People. How we helped the oldest library in New York energize its brand while maintaining its distinguished character. © 2012 BERNHARDT FUDYMA DESIGN GROUP www.bfdg.com ConteXt GeorGe WashinGton read here In 1754, when there was no library in the city open to the public, the New York Society - a group of civic-minded individuals - formed a library in the belief that a subscription library which anyone could join,* and offering a broad range of books, “would be very useful as well as ornamental to the City.” It opened in a room in the old City Hall and for a century and a half, until the founding of the public library system, was known as ‘the city library.’ Broad Street looking north to Federal Hall. The Library was located on the 2nd floor in the west wing. During the Revolution, the Library’s books were looted by British soldiers occupying Manhattan. Some were torn up to make wadding for rifles and others were sold for rum. After the war a few books that had been stored at St. Paul’s Chapel in lower Manhattan were recovered, and others were found through advertisement. In 1785 when New York became the nation’s capital and Congress occupied the building (then renamed Federal Hall), the Library served as the first Library of Congress and was used by George Washington, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr among others. * Membership libraries began in the 18th century in America when societies or groups of individuals joined to purchase books for a commonly run library.

  • LN 12.4 Vers 9.Qxd
    NOOLUME TUMBER ALLES V 12, N 4, F 2005 FROM THE HEAD LIBRARIAN: THE RENOVATION As many of you are aware from my remarks in the previous Library Notes, the Library is beginning work on Phase I of our renovation. This work will include replacing the main (east) elevator, restoring the building’s façade, and refurbishing selected interior spaces, including the second-floor restrooms. As with all this work, we will provide as much advance notice of it as possible, on our website and in notices posted at the Library. We have begun to solicit bids for the elevator and façade projects. We anticipate the façade work taking the better part of two months. It will involve placing scaffolding on the sidewalk at the front of the building and some minor disruption of interior activities because of work on the windows that must be done from inside. We do not think this work will disturb Library members and staff to the extent that Library services will be significantly affected. We will pack and store decorative items like porcelains and paintings, but the book collections and access to them should not be detrimentally affected by any of the Phase I work. The centerpiece of Phase I is the reconstruction of the elevator, which involves building a new cab, installing new stops on the sixth floor and Stack Level 3, and adding a mechanical space on the roof of the building. Elevator projects like this typically take six months or so to complete, and we hope to have work on ours fully underway this fall.

  • Review Volume 12 (2012) Page 1
    H-France Review Volume 12 (2012) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 12 (March 2012), No. 34 Angelica Goodden, Madame de Staël: The Dangerous Exile, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008. viii + 332 pp. Introduction, bibliography, and index. £45.00. ISBN 978-0-19-923809-5. Review by Karyna Szmurlo, Clemson University Although there has been a recent resurgence in Staël biographies, Angelica Goodden's volume certainly stands out.[1]While most authors have indulged in the personal scandals that have routinely tempered the significance of Staël as a writer and thinker, Goodden's, while not scanting that element, also raises our awareness of the international impact of this early multiculturalist who was exiled from her native France by Napoleon Bonaparte. With its emphasis on the creative impulse engendered by her imposed banishment, Goodden’s literary biography depicts the difficult rise of a modern genius whose strengths provided her with an inflexible resistance to persecution as well as the ability “to change the course of cultural thought by seeing which philosophies, arts, and customs were particularly adapted to a new age, and then presenting them to the right audience” (p. 241). Goodden finds an enormous appeal in the richly ambivalent personality of the woman writer “who both enjoyed and deplored celebrity, and professed her political innocence in the same breath as writing and behaving in a patently political way” (p. 121). Her abundantly documented analysis of Staël's ascendance to fame is propelled by an exploration of these inherent contradictions and the author's attempt to elude them. As the title of the work indicates, one of the antithetical paradigms it deals with is that of the exile which opinion transmuted into counter-attack: Staël was the “dangerous exile.” Deprived by Napoleon of what to her was the cherished sociability of Paris, Staël would become the European writer emblematic of resistance to despotism, recognized by her contemporaries and truly feared by members of the Directory as well as by later imperial establishments.
