How one visionary inspired 200 years of art, poetry, and protestâ ¦Weaving between the historical, cultural and personal, award-winning author Philip Hoare reveals a web of creative minds and artistic iconoclasts fired with the wild and revolutionary genius of William Blake.â ˜A life-changing bookâ ™ The Times, Book of the Weekâ ˜A poetic fever dreamâ ™Telegraphâ ˜Queer in all senses of the wordâ ™ Neil Tennantâ ˜Undoubtedly Hoareâ ™s masterpieceâ ™ Olivia LaingIn 1973, Derek Jarman set off from London to film the stones of Avebury. He was following in the footsteps of Paul Nash, who had photographed the ancient megaliths a generation before. Standing in that muddy field, by those stones, both artists had felt a direct connection to their hero â “ a man who had died a long, long time ago, yet who remained electrically alive to them.In this alluring and poetic odyssey, Philip Hoare traces the enduring legacy of William Blake and how he came to inspire so many creative lives. Reaching out of his past and into our future, Blake draws together the natural world and metaphysical realms, merging the human and the animal and the spiritual, firing up twentieth-century artists, filmmakers, poets, writers and musicians with his radical promise of absolute freedom. This stirring, deeply felt book brings us back to Blake and shows that art still has the power to create positive change.â ˜A book that is neither Blake biography nor critical analysis nor legacy-tracing nor personal odyssey but a capacious mixing of them all â ¦ a joyful and dizzying romp through the stories of those who came under Blakeâ ™s posthumous spellâ ™ Philip Marsden,Spectator â ˜Beneath the leaps and returns, the book is skilfully structured, following Blakeâ ™s life and art, and rendering all the inset lives complete, however discontinuous they appear â ¦ One can foresee a rush of books in the run-up to 2027, the bicentenary of Blakeâ ™s death, but nothing will be as audacious or intriguing as William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Loveâ ™ Jenny Uglow, TLS

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild FlowerHold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour William Blake wrote some of the most moving and memorable verse in the English language. Deeply committed to visionary and imaginative experience, yet also fiercely engaged with the turbulent politics of his era, he is now recognised as a major contributor to the Romantic Movement. This edition presents Blake s poems in their literary categories and genres to which they belong: his much-loved lyrics, ballads, comic and satirical verse, descriptive and discursive poems, verse epistles, and, finally, his remarkable prophetic poems, including the whole of his two diffuse epics, Milton and Jerusalem. Blake s poetry is intellectually challenging as well as formally inventive, and this edition has a substantial critical introduction which places his ideas in the contemporary context of the Enlightenment and the artistic reaction against its key assumptions.

Reedice výboru Blakeovy poezie v překladu Jiřího Valji.William Blake (28. 11. 1757 - 12. 8. 1827). Anglický básník, grafik, výtvarník, filozof, vynálezce. Jedna z nejvýraznějších a nejoriginálnějších osobností romantismu. Revolucionář a kritik uspořádání společnosti. V jeho díle se prolíná tvorba básníka, mystika a vizionáře s tvorbou malíře a především kreslíře a grafika. William Blake byl básník i výtvarník experimentální, jeho práce vyrůstaly z nespokojenosti, filozofický odboj spojoval s hledáním nových výrazových prostředků. Blakeův mytologický systém je nám dnes stejně vzdálený jako mytologie antická, stejně jako ona přestal být skutečností teologickou a stal se faktem uměleckým. Jeho dílo zůstává živé těmi umělecky silnými hodnotami, k nimž jej jeho mystický názor podněcoval: odvahou přemýšlet samostatně o dogmatu, konkrétním a přitom filozofickým básnickým viděním a lidským zaujetím umělce, pro něhož příroda je mrtvá, není-li v ní člověk. Blake ovlivnil i mnohé umělce 20. století. Jeho verš: Kdyby byly dveře vnímání očištěny, všechno by se člověku zjevilo ve své nekonečné podstatě inspiroval Jima Morrisona k pojmenování své skupiny The Doors. Sbírka obsahuje i nejznámější, děsivě krásnou báseň Tygře, tygře.

A fully updated edition of the most comprehensive illustrated survey of the life and work of Peter Blake, one of Britainâ ™s most popular artists. Since his emergence in the early 1960s as a key member of the Pop Art movement, Peter Blake has become one of the best-known and most popular artists of his generation. Though primarily a painter, he has worked across many media, from drawings, watercolours and collages to sculpture and printmaking, as well as commercial art in the form of graphics and album covers â “ most notably his design for The Beatlesâ ™ Sgt. Pepper album in 1967. Exploring his remarkable creative output from the 1950s to the present, Peter Blake is the most comprehensive illustrated survey available of the life and work of the artist. Marco Livingstone grounds Blakeâ ™s art firmly in his working-class origins, identifying a yearning for the innocence of childhood in his bittersweet paintings of the early to mid-1950s that depict children reading comics or going to the Saturday matinee at the cinema. From that moment, while studying at the Royal College of Art in London, Blake concerned himself with popular entertainments as subject matter, and as the source of formal solutions, for his paintings. The directness with which Blake gave expression to his enthusiasms for mass culture during the 1950s brought him to the forefront of the Pop Art movement before it had even been named, and independently of the investigations into similar areas by other British, American and European artists. The radical nature of his collage paintings of 1959â “62, in particular, in which he combined existing imagery from popular culture with unapologetically bold and bright colours, made him a singularly influential figure within British Pop. This fully updated edition includes a new chapter on what the artist has jokingly styled his â ˜Late Periodâ ™, in which Blake has continued to mine the many strands of his art with undiminished energy and completed some of his most ambitious long-standing projects. As well as the sheer scale of Blakeâ ™s production, what becomes clear is the kaleidoscopic variety of subject matter, form and medium to be found in his work, its humour and friendly appeal, and, above all, its celebration of life and humanity.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURED DIRECTED BY AND STARRING CHIWETEL EJIOFOR â “ AVAILABLE ON NETFLIXWhen William Kamkwamba was just 14 years old, his family told him that he must leave school and come home to work on the farm â “ they could no longer afford his fees. This is his story of how he found a way to make a difference, how he bought light to his family and village, and hope to his nation.Malawi is a country battling AIDS, drought and famine, and in 2002, a season of floods, followed by the most severe famine in fifty years, brought it to its knees. Like the majority of the population, William s family were farmers. They were totally reliant on the maize crop. By the end of 2001, after many lean and difficult years, there was no more crop. They were running out of food â “ had nothing to sell â “ and had months until they would be able to harvest their crop again.Forced to leave school at 14 years old, with no hope of raising the funds to go again, William resorted to borrowing books from the small local library to continue his education. One day, browsing the titles, he picked up a book about energy, with a picture of a wind turbine on the front cover. Fascinated by science and electricity, but knowing little more about the technology, William decided to build his own. Ridiculed by those around him, and exhausted from his work in the fields every day, and using nothing more than bits of scrap metal, old bicycle parts and wood from the blue gum tree, he slowly built his very own windmill.This windmill has changed the world in which William and his family live. Only 2 per cent of Malawi has electricity; William s windmill now powers the lightbulbs and radio for his compound. He has since built more windmills for his school and his village.When news of William s invention spread, people from across the globe offered to help him. Soon he was re-enrolled in college and travelling to America to visit wind farms. This is his incredible story.William s dream is that other African s will learn to help themselves â “ one windmill and one light bulb at a time â “ and that maybe one day they will be able to power their own computers, and use the internet, and see for themselves how his life has changed after picking up that book in the library.
