Synopsis
This novel announces itself as the first in a 100-book series of histories, the start of "an encyclopedic compendium of everything in the world gathered together in one place." Author (and filmmaker) Peter Greenaway doesn't want to write them all: the idea is to set up a motley collection of academics, all with vested special interests, all determined to stave off forgetfulness and mortality, and have them substantiate the truism that "there is no such thing as history, there are only historians." Among the 99 other proposed titles are the stories of toys, games, cripples, towers, conceptions, diseases, maps, tics, red hats, adulteries, journeys to the sea, languages, names, gardens, acts of violence, pricks, griefs and ghosts. Greenaway's books include Nightwatching and Rosa, and his films include Prospero's Books, The Belly of an Architect, and The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover., In 2007, the internationally renowned filmmaker Peter Greenaway ( The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover; The Draughtsman's Contract ) will release Nightwatching , a feature-length study of the life and loves of the eighteenth-century Dutch painter, Rembrandt, via his controversial masterpiece, "The Night Watch," an ensemble painting which depicts the identification of a murderer. According to Greenaway, the painting is "Rembrandt's J'accuse ." There is a conspiracy painted in Rembrandt's The Night Watch . The sinister title of the painting alone suggests we should look for it . Is this a painting, or an act of theater, or a still from a film?" In this accompanying artist's book, Greenaway offers fans a glimpse into his own artistic process, with written analyses of each of the characters in the painting followed by a wealth of enlarged, close-up details in which brush marks practically jump from the page.

    Book Mob is a very dedicated seller! Their prices are very fair and the shipping costs are reasonable. The quality of the book I purchase was excellent and as described, in fact it looked like new! It arrived in great condition due to careful packaging in a padded envelope. Not many booksellers take the time to do that. I would not hesitate to purchase from Book Mob again due to being so careful with their treasures! Thank you Book Mob for a great eBay experience!
