A centenary gift edition of the bestselling Swedish folk tales anthology by John Bauer, whose artwork has inspired Jim Henson, Frank Oz and Neil Gaiman.
John Bauer approccia la scrittura con una prospettiva non convenzionale, radicata in una vita di esperienze prima di dedicarsi alle parole. Il suo lavoro abbraccia una vasta gamma di generi, dal contemporaneo per adulti e commedia nera all'horror, all'erotica e alla saggistica. Bauer crede nel predestino e nella provvidenza divina, suggerendo che le conclusioni delle sue narrazioni non siano interamente sue. La sua scrittura è caratterizzata non solo dai suoi vari interessi tematici, ma anche dal suo approccio resiliente alla creazione, nonostante le sfide della vita.

Born in 1882 John Albert Bauer was a Swedish painter and illustrator. He studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and in 1904 he illustrated his first book, 'Lappland'. He is best known for his illustrations in early editions of 'Bland tomtar och troll' (Among Gnomes and Trolls), featuring stories of Swedish folklore and fairy tales. Bauer's troll illustrations were of a grotesque style but with a touch of humour, appealing to both children and adults alike. Most of his works are watercolours usually in muted colours over pen and ink line work. This enchanting compilation features 83 of Bauer's best works mostly from various editions of 'Bland tomtar och troll'. This superb collection is certain to delight lovers of fairy tale illustration and also Bauer admirers.
Exploring the intricate relationship between free will and divine intervention, this book delves into philosophical and theological debates surrounding human autonomy and the nature of God's influence in our lives. It challenges readers to contemplate the balance between personal choice and predetermined fate, offering insights from various religious and philosophical perspectives. Engaging with real-life scenarios and thought experiments, the narrative invites reflection on how these concepts shape our understanding of morality, responsibility, and the human experience.
The narrative explores pivotal moments in a man's life, highlighting the significance of bay days that defined his character and destiny. These experiences encompass both triumphs and challenges, illustrating how they influenced his journey and personal growth. The interplay between these defining days reveals the complexity of life's choices and their lasting impact on his future.
The book presents a progressive scale system that builds foundational concepts from elementary to advanced levels, preparing students for the Scale System by Carl Flesch. It features one-octave scales focusing on half steps and finger retention, non-shifting two-octave patterns, and three-octave scales with both traditional and modern fingerings. Additionally, it includes varied fingerings for double stop scales and introduces basic natural harmonics, expanding beyond the Flesch system's offerings.
