This carefully crafted ebook: "William Blake's Illustrations of The Book of Job (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
William Blake is regarded as one of the greatest creative geniuses of the Romantic era, valued for the visionary power of both his poetry and his art. However, in his own time, he struggled to make ends meet and his work attracted little attention.
His illustrations tell the Biblical story of Job, one of the books of the Hebrew Bible. It relates Job's trials at the hands of Satan, his discussions with friends on the origins and nature of his suffering, his challenge to God, and finally a response from God. The book is a didactic poem set in a prose frame and has been included in lists of the greatest books in world literature.
William Blake (1757 - 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. His paintings and poetry have been characterised as part of the Romantic movement and "Pre-Romantic", for its large appearance in the 18th century. Blake was influenced by the ideals and ambitions of the French and American revolutions. Despite these known influences, the singularity of Blake's work makes him difficult to classify.

The main character is a liberation figure challenging not only male chauvinism and marriage but the institution of slavery and imperialism in general. The female protagonist Oothoon, a sex slave who is raped by the slave driver Bromion, is clearly made to represent both the fertile, virginal and innocent lands of the pre-colonialism New World and the oppression of the women of Blake's time, who were, like slaves, treated as property of their husbands. In the course of his poem Oothoon becomes the ultimate symbol for liberation both as a woman and as a slave.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (Illuminated Manuscript with the Original Illustrations of William Blake)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
This ebook is a series of texts, which were written in imitation of biblical books of prophecy, but expressing the poets own personal romantic and revolutionary beliefs. It is not exactly known when the work was written. One assumes it was composed in London between 1790 and 1793 , a period of political conflict arising immediately after the French Revolution.
The book is about the first person narrators visit to Hell, a concept taken by Blake from Dantes Inferno and Miltons Paradise Lost. Apart from the opening Argument and the Song of Liberty, the entire book is written in prose.
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell was influenced by the mysticism of Swedish theosophist Emanuel Swedenborg and is also in part a satire on Emanuel Swedenborgs writings, especially on Heaven and Hell from which Blake adapted the title.

Taking his inspiration from the illuminated manuscripts of the middle ages, Blake invented the process of creating Illuminated Books. Between 1788 and early 1795 Blake published a series of fifteen Illuminated Books. He returned to creating Illuminated Books in 1804 when he began work on Milton (finished in 1808 or later) and Jerusalem. Blake committed himself in the minute particulars of producing his Illuminated Books. The process included creating a mental image, drawing, composing the design and poetry of the plate, engraving, printing, painting, compiling and selling. From inception to final production the color copy of Jerusalem was labored over for sixteen years.

Romain Rolland (1866-1944), est un écrivain français, lauréat du Prix Nobel de littérature en 1915. D'une culture sculptée par la passion de l'art et de la musique (opéra, Michel-Ange, Scarlatti, Lully, Beethoven, amitié avec Richard Strauss) et le culte des héros, il rechercha durant toute sa vie un moyen de communion entre les hommes.
Extrait:
"Ludwig van Beethoven naquit le 16 décembre 1770 à Bonn, près de Cologne, dans une misérable soupente d'une pauvre maison. Il était d'origine flamande . Son père était un ténor inintelligent et ivrogne. Sa mère était domestique, fille d'un cuisinier, et veuve en premières noces d'un valet de chambre. Une enfance sévère, à laquelle manqua la douceur familiale, dont Mozart, plus heureux, fut entouré. Dès le commencement, la vie se révéla à lui comme un combat triste et brutal, Son père voulut exploiter ses dispositions musicales et l'exhiber comme un petit prodige..."

Extrait:
"La musique commence seulement à prendre dans l'histoire générale la place qui lui est due. Chose étrange qu'on ait pu prétendre à donner un aperçu de l'évolution de l'esprit humain, en négligeant une de ses plus profondes expressions. Mais ne savons-nous pas combien les autres arts, mieux favorisés pourtant, plus accessibles à l'intelligence française, ont eu de peine à acquérir droit de cité dans l'histoire générale? Et y a-t-il si longtemps que celle-ci s'est ouverte à l'histoire de la littérature, des sciences, de la philosophie, de toute la pensée humaine? Cependant la vie politique d'une nation n'est que l'aspect le plus superficiel de son être. Pour connaître sa vie intérieure, source de son action, il faut pénétrer jusqu'à l'âme par la littérature, la philosophie, les arts, où se sont reflétés les idées, les passions, les raves de tout un peuple......"
