”Och de där målade molnen som återspeglade hennes själsliga landskap, nyanserna i det, vändningarna i hennes person, hennes egenart. Bara genom att teckna dessa nästan nonfigurativa moln visade hon hela sin bredd, sin mästerliga teknik och läggning.”Claire är en roman om konstnärskap och kärlek. Den tar avstamp i Indien, men för oss snart till Norden. Målaren Claire har flyt, men mår dåligt. Hon är driven som konstnär, och till sina ambitioner besläktad med pianisten Waldemar. Relationen lider av inre motsättningar, hela tiden andas katastrofen dem i nacken. Men kärleken finns som en möjlighet. Och den fortsätter att finnas, liksom avgrunden.Martin Högstrand (född 1978) är bosatt på Åland. Han är litteraturvetare, matematiker och musiker. 2010 debuterade han med kortromanen Skymningsland, och två år senare utkom hans andra bok, diktsamlingen Mörk vår.
In this showstopping masterpiece from author-artist Pam Fong, a young girl finds unexpected beauty in a rainy day, demonstrating the power of giving thanks and giving back. Wordless and illustrated in striking black-and-white artwork with pops of rainbow color, this is for fans of Wolf in the Snow, Journey, and Home in a Lunchbox. When Claire’s mother takes her to the cathedral to pass the time on a rainy day, poor Claire could not be more bored. Soaring architecture, beautiful sculptures, historical significance—blah! Then a momentary ray of light shines through the famed Rose Window and brings color back into Claire’s world. Soon she realizes there are rainbows all around her, if she looks closely. This wordless picture book celebrates the power of observation, gratitude, optimism, generosity, and the arts. Pam Fong makes a splash with her astonishing, intricately detailed black-and-white illustrations—light and music are the only elements shown in full-color glory. Claire and the Cathedral is ideal for readers who love books by David Wiesner, Barbara Lehman, Aaron Becker, and David Macauley.
Claire Clairmont, the stepsister of Mary Shelley, has usually been presented as a minor, though damaging figure in the great dramas of Shelley and Byron. This first continuous account of her long and adventurous life describes her upbringing in Godwin's progressive household, her close but ambiguous relationship with Percy and Mary Shelley, and her role as the mother of Allegra, her illegitimate daughter by Byron, who died in childhood. It continues with the struggle to maintain herself independently after Shelley's death, refusing offers of marriage and working as governess among a variegated series of families in Florence, Vienna, Petersburg, Moscow, Paris, and London. Drawing on her vivid letters and journals, the authors portray a woman of talent and resilience making her way in nineteenth-century Europe. They show her sharp judgement, her powers of observation, her flair for languages, and the lovely singing voice which drew poems from Shelley and Byron. Robert Gittings and Jo Manton bring into focus a lesser-known life of much drama and pathos, at the same time enhancing our knowledge of the main characters of the Romantic movement, and their world.

"Claire's Workbook" has evolved over 25 years' teaching experience with students from 4 to 72 years of age, and started as single-sheet handouts for use during class. The workbook was developed when these worksheets which were developed specifically for students in a class environment were compiled in a logical sequence. These were developed and improved, then bound together to help students organize their work. This workbook is also recommended as a useful preparation for secondary or high school level music courses. Claire's MusicWorkBook(R) now covers all of the typical theory requirements of the major examining boards of music from introductory to intermediate stages. The teaching pages are liberally interspersed with exercise pages to reinforce the concepts introduced. Included is a glossary of Italian and other foreign musical terms. The appendix includes practice pieces, scales and 50 music pieces. More ambitious students can progress with little supervision. This book supercedes Ed.ISBN 0954440633

Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and passionate filmmakers working in France today, Claire Denis has continued to make beautiful and challenging films since the 1988 release of her first feature, Chocolat. Judith Mayne's comprehensive study traces Denis's career and discusses her major feature films in rich detail. Born in Paris but raised in West Africa, Denis explores in her films the legacies of French colonialism and the complex relationships between sexuality, gender, and race. From the adult woman who observes her past as a child in Cameroon to the Lithuanian immigrant who arrives in Paris and watches a serial killer to the disgraced French Foreign Legionnaire attempting to make sense of his past, the subjects of Denis's films continually revisit themes of watching, bearing witness, and making contact, as well as displacement, masculinity, and the migratory subject.
