Goya's model for his visual indictment of war and its horrors was the Spanish insurrection of 1808 and the resulting Peninsular War with Napoleonic France. The bloody conflict and the horrible famine of Madrid were witnessed by Goya himself, or were revealed to him from the accounts of friends and contemporaries. From 1810 to 1820, he worked to immortalize them in a series of etchings.\u003cbr\u003eThe artist himself never saw the results. The etchings were not published until 1863, some 35 years after his death. By then, the passions of the Napoleonic era had subsided and the satirical implications in Goya's work were less likely to offend. The Dover edition reproduces in its original size the second state of this first edition, which contained 80 prints. Three additional prints not in the 1863 edition are also included here, making this the most complete collection possible of the etchings Goya intended for this series. The bitter, biting captions are reprinted, along with the new English translations, as are the original title page and preface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of the first 1863 edition.\u003c\/div\u003e ukiyo-e prints;linocut prints;color prints;woodblock prints;diebenkorn;hokusai;faure;popov;presentiments;printmaker;guerra;1808;1810;peninsular;govt;sadists;executioners;fallujah;1820;castration;insurrection;barbarous;syracuse;etchings;symbolizing;gazes;dismemberment;1863;1921;reproductions;abyss;napoleonic;captions;plates;disasters;harvard;translations;spain;eternal","brand":"Franciso Goya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159288496449,"sku":"9780486218724","price":10.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486218724.jpg?v=1710182633"},{"product_id":"9780486224848","title":"Anarchism and Other Essays","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1890s and for years thereafter, America reverberated with the name of the \"notorious Anarchist,\" feminist, revolutionist, and agitator, Emma Goldman.

Middle Egyptian is especially important because it is the language in which many important literary works were written. Moreover, when it was no longer spoken, Middle Egyptian continued to be taught in temples and schools as a vehicle of literary and liturgical expression.\u003cbr\u003eThis compact handbook, by a noted German Egyptologist, was specially designed for beginning students who wish to acquire enough basic knowledge to enable them to read the easier hieroglyphic texts. Toward that end, the author begins with a general discussion of Middle Egyptian and its script, followed by concise, accessible lessons in phonology, formation and usage of nouns and other parts of speech, and syntax. With careful study, the student should be able, even after the first lesson, to translate simple sentences independently. A list of hieroglyphs, a vocabulary section, and reading exercises complete this handy manual that offers students quick and easy access to the language and culture of ancient Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eReprint of the Humphrey Milford, London, 1920 edition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Günther Roeder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160195744065,"sku":"9780486425092","price":4.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486425092.jpg?v=1710179223"},{"product_id":"9780486433981","title":"The Revolution Betrayed","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eOne of Marxism's most important texts, \u003ci\u003eThe Revolution Betrayed\u003c\/i\u003e explores the fate of the Russian Revolution after Lenin's death.
