Albert G. Smith Libri
Albert Richard Smith fu un affascinante narratore che passò senza problemi dalla medicina alla scrittura. Le sue opere, spesso ispirate dai suoi estesi viaggi ed esperienze di vita, offrivano acuta critica sociale accanto a emozionanti avventure. La prosa di Smith era caratterizzata da arguzia e acuta osservazione della natura umana, guadagnandogli un posto tra i giornalisti e romanzieri di spicco della sua epoca. Il suo talento unico risiedeva nel trasformare viaggi personali, come le sue escursioni nel Vicino Oriente o la sua ascesa al Mont Blanc, in intrattenimenti e opere letterarie ampiamente popolari che coinvolgevano profondamente il pubblico.

The legendary Vikings of Scandinavia were among the most dynamic peoples of Europe. Throughout the Viking age (c. A.D. 800–100 ), the vibrancy and aggressive energy of this culture found expression in the bold, often fantastic designs of its art. The royalty-free collection contains over 175 of these designs, adapted from authentic images originating in the metalwork, woodwork, textiles, stone and bone carvings, and ceramics of the Viking homelands of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, as well as the lands they colonized: Iceland, northern Scotland, the Isle of Man, Ireland, and others. Motifs include sinuously intertwining patterns reminiscent of Celtic art, real and mythological animals, dragon-slaying heroes on horseback, "gripping beasts," and many more, all exuding a sense of power and confidence. Whether you're an artist, illustrator or craftsperson, or simply an admirer of dramatic, eye-catching design, this convenient, inexpensive volume will provide a handy source of inspiration, as well as striking embellishment for a host of graphic projects.
