The photographs in Nicholas Pollack’s new book Meadow were made between 2015-2020 in and around Secaucus, New Jersey, U.S. Inspired by the landscape of the New Jersey Meadowlands, Meadow is a body of work about a small plot of land and the friendships and interactions between a group of truck drivers who forge a transcendent relationship with the place. Nicholas Pollack’s Meadow is tied to place – specifically, a place that is neglected by society. Meadow tells the story of a group of truck drivers who made a piece of overlooked salt marsh their own. Operating in the tradition of documentary style photography, Pollack shows both the social and the physical landscapes of America in Meadow. This book is Nicholas Pollack’s ode to a small portion of the sprawling New Jersey Meadowlands, to its people and its landscape, and to the humanity enveloped in a post-industrial landscape.

Nicholas Hawksmoors Bauten dürfen als Höhepunkte der Barockarchitektur bezeichnet werden. Die sechs nach 1711 in London errichteten Pfarrkirchen bilden sein Hauptwerk. Deren vielschichtige, spannungsreiche, bewusst anti-organische und anti-dogmatische Architektur wird in ihren Charakteristika und theoretischen Grundlagen vorgestellt. Dabei ergeben sich Verbindungen nicht nur zu den "modernes" der französischen Akademie und Claude Perraults relativistischer Architekturtheorie. Thomas Hobbes Wirkungsästhetik und Joseph Addisons assoziationsästhetische Ansätze werden ebenso spürbar wie der "scientific spirit" der Royal Society. Erkenntlich werden die Bauten als Propaganda für die bestehende Ordnung, für Staatskirche und Monarchie; und ihre Gestaltung als Reflexion der Anschauungen der von Hof und Kirche, Naturwissenschaft und Freimaurerei gleichermaßen getragenen, von Sir Isaac Newton geprägten "newtonian philosophy".

When Nicholas Nickleby's father dies, he turns to his wealthy uncle for assistance in finding a job and protecting his mother and sister. However, Ralph Nickleby proves to be both heartless and dishonest, and Nicholas is forced to make his own way in the world. Wackford Squeers, the tyrannical headmaster of Dotheboys Hall, a school for unwanted boys; the slow-witted orphan Smike, rescued by Nicholas; and the gloriously theatrical Mr and Mrs Crummles and their daughter, provided Charles Dickens, the author, with the opportunity to portray an extraordinary gallery of rogues and eccentrics.

RomaaniklassikkoEletään 1800-luvun alkuvuosikymmeniä. Yksi ylikuumenneen talouden uhreista on nuori Nicholas Nickleby, joka isänsä onnettomien liiketoimien ja äkkikuoleman vuoksi joutuu puille paljaille. Lontoolaisessa köyhäinkoulussa Nicholas yrittää hankkia elantoaan kammottavan Wackford Squeersin alipalkattuna apulaisena - ennen kuin jatkaa kulkuaan kohti parempaa elämää.Nicholasin ympärillä hyörii sekalainen joukkio keinottelijoita ja hylkiöitä, tuhlareita ja saitureita, tanssijoita ja pantomiimitaiteilijoita, salonkileijonia ja uhkapelureita, irstailijoita, parittajia ja koronkiskureita - ihmistyyppejä, joiden irvailulla armoitettuna satiirikkona tunnettu Charles Dickens viihdyttää lukijoitaan.Nicholas Nicklebyn elämä ja seikkailut on teemoiltaan yhä universaalin ajankohtainen. Teos kuvaa aikakautta, jolle on tyypillistä keinottelevaan ja pröystäilevään elämänmenoon kätkeytyvä romahduksen alku.Kersti Juvan loistava suomennos vuodelta 1992 tekee kunniaa romaaniklassikolle.Charles Dickens (1812-70) on Shakespearen ohella kuuluisin englantilaiskirjailija. Hänen erehtymättömään ihmistuntemukseensa perustuvat henkilöhahmot ovat kiehtoneet lukijoita halki aikojen kaikkialla maailmassa. Dickensin laajakantoisin merkitys on kuitenkin niissä yhteiskunnallisissa herätteissä, jotka hän antoi kertomakirjallisuuden kehitykselle.Nicholas Nicklebyn yhteiskunnallinen näkemys juontanee juurensa kirjailijan omista varhaisista kokemuksista kenkävoidetehtaassa. Tämä ryysyläisten raadanta kertautuu Dickensin tuotannossa yhä uusina köyhien ja hylättyjen lasten kuvauksina, joista tunnetuimpia ovat romaanit Oliver Twist (1838) ja omaelämäkerrallinen David Copperfield (1850).
