Forster Margaret Keeping the World Away

Lost, found, stolen, strayed, sold, fought over... This engrossing, beautifully crafted novel follows the fictional adventures, over a hundred years, of an early 20th-century painting and the women whose lives it touches. It opens with bold, passionate Gwen, struggling to be an artist, leaving for Paris where she becomes Rodin's lover and paints a small, intimate picture of a quiet corner of her attic room. Then there's Charlotte, a dreamy intellectual Edwardian girl, and Stella, Lucasta, Ailsa and finally young Gillian, who share an unspoken desire to have for themselves a tranquil golden place like that in the painting. Quintessential Forster, this is a novel about women's lives, about what it means and what it costs to be both a woman and an artist, and an unusual, compelling look at a beautiful painting and its imagined afterlife.

Dr. Martens Forster

Goosen Frank Forster, mein Forster

Ein Mann kurz vor seinem funfzigsten Geburtstag. Zwei Freunde, die sich seit vierzig Jahren kennen und streiten. Eine greise Saxofonspielerin mit Post aus der Vergangenheit, ein Hamster namens Edward Cullen und ein Trip ans Meer. Ein tragikomisches Lesevergnugen fur alle, die einfach mal weg wollen: nach Iowa, ins Outback oder zumindest an die Ostsee. Zwischen absurder Komik und feiner Melancholie erweist sich Frank Goosen in diesem Roman erneut als brillanter Beobachter des Zwischenmenschlichen.

Forster E. M. Howards End

A meticulously-observed drama of class warfare, E.M. Forster's Howards End explores the conflict inherent within English society, unveiling the character of a nation as never before. This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction and notes by David Lodge. 'Only connect...' A chance acquaintance brings together the preposterous bourgeois Wilcox family and the clever, cultured and idealistic Schlegel sisters. As clear-eyed Margaret develops a friendship with Mrs Wilcox, the impetuous Helen brings into their midst a young bank clerk named Leonard Bast, who lives at the edge of poverty and ruin. When Mrs Wilcox dies, her family discovers that she wants to leave her country home, Howards End, to Margaret. Thus as Forster sets in motion a chain of events that will entangle three different families, he brilliantly portrays their aspirations to personal and social harmony. David Lodge's introduction provides an absorbing and eloquent overture to the 1910 novel that established Forster's reputation as an important writer, and that he himself later referred to as 'my best novel'. This edition also contains a note on the text, suggestions for further reading, and explanatory notes. E. M. Forster (1879-1970) was a noted English author and critic and a member of the Bloomsbury group. His first novel, Where Angels Fear To Tread appeared in 1905. The Longest Journey appeared in 1907, followed by A Room With A View (1908), based partly on the material from extended holidays in Italy with his mother. Howards End (1910) was a story that centered on an English country house and dealt with the clash between two families, one interested in art and literature, the other only in business. Maurice was revised several times during his life, and finally published posthumously in 1971.

Georgy Frangulyan Off-Modern

The first analytical monograph about the “off-modern” work of the Soviet/post- Soviet era sculptor Georgy Frangulyan (1945, Tbilisi – lives Moscow) has a unique position in postwar European and Russian sculpture. Trained across all media at Moscow’s famed Stroganov Academy, Frangulyan is a consummate polystylistic who has completed major public monuments and private memorials, as well as scaled sculptures, in Russia and abroad. Leveraging the insights of the late Svetlana Boym, a cultural theorist, Press considers Frangulyan as an “off-modern” artist, whose aesthetics and works defy conventional thinking about post-Socialist Realism in the USSR. Press reveals how Frangulyan’s influences absorbed classicism, the avant-garde, modernism, cubism, and futurism into a diverse artistic practice. Georgy Frangulyan, Off-Modern not only clarifies how the artist’s awareness of Western modernism expanded after seeing several international exhibitions in the 1950s and 1960s, but also broad art historical influences he encountered at the Stroganov Academy. The core of the book is a detailed consideration of Frangulyan’s monumental works and sculptures, considering the content and contexts in which they were made. It identifies how Frangulyan looked beyond the Soviet canon to artists as diverse at Giotto, Delacroix, Malevich, and Manzu. Via several vignettes, Press also clarifies the Soviet academic structure, the importance of monumentalism in postwar culture, the place of bronze in modern art, and how artists like Frangulyan succeeded in a dual, state/private market milieu outside of the broader global art market. Frangulyan’s monuments and sculptures are well-known in Russia, and are in the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery, Pushkin Fine Arts Museum, State Russian Museum, as well as public and private collections in Western Europe, including The Albertina Museum (Vienna), The Bodleian Library (Oxford), and Museo Dante (Ravenna). Today, he works from his studio and foundry, which are co-located in a historic log house (an izba) in central Moscow. The book includes prefaces by two curators associated with the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (Moscow), Ruth Addison, and Valentin Diaconov.
