It encompasses the 98 years of Chagall's life (1887-1985) in Russia, France, the US, as well as Germany and Israel, his deep roots in folk culture, his personal relationships and loves, his involvement with the art of the Russian Revolution, with Surrealism, Communism, Zionism, Yiddish literature and the state of Israel. The book exposes the complex relationships between Chagall's three cultural identities: Jewish-Russian-French. Indeed, it is a biography of the turbulent times of the twentieth century and the transformations of a Jew in it, his meteoric rise from the \"ghetto\" of the Russian Pale of Settlement to the centers of modern culture.\u003cbr\u003eThe book reveals Chagall's endless curiosity, his forays in many directions beyond painting and drawing: public art, theater and ballet, stained glass windows in churches and synagogues, lithographs, etchings, and illustrations of literature and the Bible. We observe the intricate relations between Chagall's life and consciousness and the impact of his life on the iconography of his art. Thus, the book provides an indispensable key to the understanding of Chagall's often enigmatic art. Indeed, it is a contribution to the understanding of some of the central problems of Modern art, such as the question of originality, the interaction between the formal discoveries of the avant-garde and cultural or multi-cultural representation, and the relations between an artist's art and his personal biography.\u003cbr\u003eRenowned Israeli-American scholar Benjamin Harshav presents the first comprehensive investigation of Marc Chagall's life and consciousness after the classic 1961 biography by Chagall's son-in-law Franz Meyer.

Remarks are appended to many descriptions in order to extract worthwhile lessons from the particular operation. The notes, made directly after combat, will show German youth capable of bearing arms, the unbounded spirit of self-sacrifice and courage with which the German soldier, especially the infantryman, fought for Germany during the four-and-a-half-year war. The following examples are proof of the tremendous combat powers of the German infantry, even when faced with superior odds in men and equipment; and these sketches are again proof of the superiority of the junior German commander to his enemy counterpart. Finally, this book should make a contribution towards perpetuating those experiences of the bitter war years; experiences often gained at the cost of great deprivations and bitter sacrifice.\u003cbr\u003eERWIN ROMMEL\u003cbr\u003eLieutenant Colonel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Very Good \/ Paperback \/ Erwin Rommel","offer_id":44483129770282,"sku":"-1","price":33.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4039\/5562\/products\/6f115a_78e751d45dee44dab05f096dacb4ad6a_mv2.jpg?v=1679258892"},{"product_id":"the-secret-knowledge-on-the-dismantling-of-american-culture","title":"The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Mamet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDavid Mamet has been a controversial, defining force in nearly every creative endeavor-now he turns his attention to politics.\u003cbr\u003eIn recent years, David Mamet realized that the so-called mainstream media outlets he relied on were irredeemably biased, peddling a hypocritical and deeply flawed worldview.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2008 Mamet wrote a hugely controversial op-ed for the \"Village Voice,\" \"Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal',\" in which he methodically attacked liberal beliefs, eviscerating them as efficiently as he did Method acting in his bestselling book \"True and False.\"\u003cbr\u003eNow Mamet employs his trademark intellectual force and vigor to take on all the key political issues of our times, from religion to political correctness to global warming.

But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated eleven guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest deals; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur and an unprecedented education in the practice of deal-making.

In early May 1944 he was expelled with the rest of the Dargomirest ghetto to Auschwitz, and after the selection he was transferred from Auschwitz to Buchenwald, Dora-Mittelbau, and was finally liberated from Bergen Belsen in Apriil 1945. He was sent to Sweden by the Red Cross. In December 1947 he set sail for Palestine on the immigrant (\"Ma'apilim\") ship known as the \"29th of November 1946\". After several unsuccessful attempts to land, he was arrested as an illegal immigrant by the British Royal Navy and deported to a DP camp in Cyprus. In February 1949, he finally reached the \"haven of peace\" and shortly after joined the Israel Defences Forces. He studied education at the Teachers' Seminar in Jerusalem and worked in teaching and education for 30 years. He currently resides in Ramat Gan.
