Leo Tolstoy,Larissa Volokhonsky,Richard Pevear: What is Art?

What is Art?


Description

During his decades of world fame as a novelist, Tolstoy also wrote prolifically in a series of essays and polemics on issues of morality, social justice and religion. These works culminated in What is Art?, published in 1898. Impassioned and iconoclastic, this powerfully influential work both criticizes the elitist nature of art in nineteenth-century Western society, and rejects the idea that its sole purpose should be the creation of beauty. The works of Dante, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Baudelaire and Wagner are all vigorously condemned, as Tolstoy explores what he believes to be the spiritual role of the artist - arguing that true art must work with religion and science as a force for the advancement of mankind.

"New York Times" bestselling author Barbara Michaels brings back some of her best-loved characters from the novels "Ammie Come Home" and "Shattered Silk" in a mesmerizing tale of a woman whose mysterious link with the past puts her in grave danger. Fighting a tide of tradition and conservatism, progressive metal has proven to be one of the most viable, malleable forms in all of modern music; here its preeminent scholar tells the tale." As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots: prayer, What is Art? download epub service, and community. As the pastor of the megachurch and popular worship band Jesus Culture, Liebscher has seen this play out in a very real way in his own life, and he brings that knowledge and experience to his readers. - Publisher
