Uuml;ber ein Jahrtausend lang; von seiner Gruuml;ndung im Jahre 330 n. Chr. bis zu seinem Untergang im Jahre 1453; war das Byzantinische Reich eine Wiege von kuuml;nstlerischem Uuml;berfluss; die erst jetzt wiederentdeckt wird.Ausgestattet mit dem reichen Erbe der rouml;mischen; ouml;stlichen und christlichen Kulturen; entwickelten die byzantinischen Kuuml;nstler eine architektonische und malerische; vom Symbolismus geprauml;gte Tradition; die auch uuml;ber die Grenzen des Reiches hinaus einen groszlig;en Einfluss ausuuml;bte. Italien; Nordafrika und der Nahe Osten schuuml;tzen und erhalten heutzutage die antiken Uuml;berreste dieser anspruchsvollen kuuml;nstlerischen Tradition mit all ihrer geheimnisvollen und verzaubernden Schouml;nheit.Die Pracht der Palauml;ste; Kirchen; Malereien; Touml;pferwaren; Keramiken und Mosaiken dieser Kultur ist ein Garant fuuml;r den groszlig;en Einfluss und die Zeitlosigkeit der byzantinischen Kunst.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Actually worth buyingBy M. DuncanA set of really interesting and well written essays/interviews with comics creators/historians/experts. It covers nearly every aspect of the comics industry with some very insightful ideas about how comics are made; how they work; and what is right and wrong with the industry. Worth buying for any enthusiast. Trust me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A waste of moneyBy jill mcclintic-doyleI should have read the reviews. A waste of money. Dont bother.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. for serious comic artistsBy setlibThis book is arranged in the following sections:Magazine cartoons -- Editorial cartoons -- Political cartoons -- Comic strips -- Kids and teens comics -- Action/adventure comics -- Alternative comics -- Graphic novels -- Miscellany -- Comics in art and illustration -- The business of comics -- The creation of comics -- Teaching comics -- Lesson plans.Each section contains maybe 10 interviews or essays by different authors; averaging about 3-4 pages in length. If youre already a serious comics artist; this is a handy book to pick up and flip to almost any section to read an intriguing or inspiring piece about the industry.Personally; I was looking for a comprehensive history/analysis of comics; so this wasnt too useful for me because each essay is really too short to contain a detailed; focused analysis. Also the subjects and writing style can vary widely between authors so theres not much continuity. I would recommend this as a gift to a comics artist; or something to read for personal pleasure. However I would not particularly recommend it for research; and I didnt find it very helpful in designing a curriculum to teach comics.
