sachbuch

erschienen 2024

(von tobias bruns)

von vor 40000 jahren bis heute, das ist die zeitspanne, die dieses buch beleuchtet. eine lange zeit und wechselvolle geschichte des kulturellen schaffens, die zeigen soll, dass der mensch von anbeginn seiner existenz den drang verspürte sich künstlerisch zu betätigen. es handelt sich bei all den kulturschätzen um verschiedenste artefakte: religiös, dekorativ, wissenschaftlich, symbole der macht, der fruchtbarkeit, kunst, ... es ist ein weites feld, doch sollte man eben dies wissen! es ist kein buch über kunst und kunstschätze - auch, wenn man es durch den untertitel mit dem begriff "meisterwerke" missverstehen kann -, es geht um kulturschätze, zu denen eben auch kunstschätze gehören, aber noch vieles andere, wie in der aufzählung zu erkennen ist. es sind faszinierende objekte, die dieses buch bevölkern, die mit wunderbaren fotos und schaubildern dargestellt sind, mit sehr guten, passenden hintergrundinformationen und spannendem zusätzlichen wissen. dieses buch gibt einen unglaublich guten überblick über das kulturelle schaffen des menschen und versucht dabei tatsächlich die kulturen der welt als ganzes mit einzubeziehen und vom eurozentrischen wegzukommen, was auch recht gut gelingt (bis auf das 20. jahrhundert, welches extrem eurozentristisch dargestellt ist). nichtsdestotrotz ist kulturschätze der welt ein sehr komplettes kompendium, wenn man bei diesem umfassenden thema jemals von komplett reden kann - dieses buch versucht es: beginnend mit der venus vom hohe fels über die benin-bronzen bis hin zur altstadt von odessa. all das, wie vom verlag eigentlich immer erwartet in einer fantastischen gestaltung, die wirklich spaß macht. alles in allem ein sehr guter überblick, der wohl auch weiteres interesse weckt, sich mit dem einen oder anderen mehr zu beschäftigen. kulturell spannend, visuell sehr gut gestaltet und mit offenen blick in die gro��e weite welt, die die kultur nun einmal verkörpert.

Moreover, Caesar was not satisfied to be over­looked at first by Sulla, who was busy with a multitude of proscriptions, but he came before the people as candidate for the priesthood, although he was not yet much more than a stripling. To this candidacy Sulla secretly opposed himself, and took measures to make Caesar fail in it, and when he was deliberating about putting him to death and some said there was no reason for killing a mere boy like him

Plutarch, Caesar

sulla's fight with caesar is extremely funny, but also very Something considering how much of sulla you see reflected in caesar's later actions. breaking news: grown man picks fight with teenager, more at 11.

Trade you, Billy says, like they’re in elementary school. Or maybe people do still trade lunches around here, Marcus isn’t sure. All he’s sure of is that Dad mixed up their lunches again and gave him three sets of celery sticks instead of a sandwich, or cookie, or anything else, which is not enough for anyone to live off of, much less a teenager. Billy doesn’t look judgmental, though. He looks like he gets it. He offers an eggplant parm for a handful of celery and a packet of peanut butter, and he looks pleased about it. Like a friend.

Plutarch, Crassus 7 (trans. Rex Warner)

caesar's in his mid 20s here, crassus is in his late 30s. early 40s. I did the math for their ages two days ago and didn't. uh. bother to write it down on account of being Very Tired. it's a 15 year age difference because their respective birth dates are easy numbers to remember, but if I have to add in another math step related to specific years events happened, I'm going to walk into a forest.

anyway! this comic was a certifiable creative nightmare on account of it was originally. going to be something goofy, it was supposed to end with crassus going (don draper voice) I don't think about you at all. but every time I tried to start over to get that ending, it would veer back into this territory. so after a full week of wrestling with it, I finally let the dramatics win. and you know what, having it cut off mid sentence is fun, actually!! might do it again sometime tbh

OH and that panel of crassus pouring caesar a drink is a callback to the first time I made a comic focusing on them

Gabriel all but crash-landed in the Wagamese front yard. Tom and Roland, who were drawn out by the unusual noise, were shocked to find him at their door at that hour, and even more shocked at the awful news he brought. Without a moment's hesitation, the men of the Smithy mobilized and moved out to look for Annika.

Meanwhile, Marcus had flown over to the Gladwyns' to get Phillip. The red-haired boy was mortified when he heard what had happened, instantly jumping on Marcus' broom to join him in the search. Riding shotgun on the shaky ride had nearly cost him his head last time, but his fear of flying paled in comparison to the fear he felt for Annika's safety.

Soon, half of Wyvern's Bay was out on the streets, searching every corner of the city and surrounding area for the lost girl, calling out her name.

Hidden away in a cave deep in the wild woods, Annika couldn't hear them.
