I didnt read your books. I licked them; I rubbed them all over my naked body and licked them.Protasov; detached and idealistic; wants only to immerse himself in chemical experiments to perfect mankind. Hes more or less oblivious to the voracious advances of the half-crazed widow Melaniya and his best friends unrelenting pursuit of his wife; let alone the cholera epidemic and the starving mob at his gates. While Nanny fusses round; Protasovs admiring circle; variously skeptical; romantic and lovesick; spar over culture and the cosmos. Only Liza; neurotic and patronized; feels the suffering of the peasantry and senses that their own privileged world is in jeopardy.Gone? Theyre everywhere. Have you heard about the riots? The starvation and the flagrant disregard of authority. This disregard is building walls and barriers between us all. And they are massing. The crowds of angry people. And the hate... the hate between us all... kills everything.Written during the abortive Russian Revolution of 1905; Maxim Gorkys darkly comic Children of the Sun depicts the new middle-class; foolish perhaps but likeable; as they flounder around; philosophizing; yearning; or scuttling between test tubes; blind to their impending annihilation.This is Andrew Uptons fourth English version of a play for the National by one of the great Russian masters; including his acclaimed adaptation of Gorkys Philistines.

What I had intended to purchase was actual stencils.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great images; but poor print quality and cheap; newsprint-quality paperBy M. DonnellyWhile I love the images in this book; the print quality and paper used is poor. My book had streaky print where solid black should be on a number of images. You could easily see through the pages to the image printed on the backside of the paper. I had seen an older version of this book and purchased my own because I liked the images (for use with metal etching). Unfortunately; the books quality made me return it as defective. If youre going to buy this; try to look for an older; used version.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. BookBy christymarquisDesigns are good; but book is not exactly what I expected.
