Albert G. Smith Livres
Albert Richard Smith fut un conteur captivant qui passa sans effort de la médecine à l'écriture. Ses œuvres, souvent inspirées par ses vastes voyages et ses expériences de vie, offraient une critique sociale acerbe aux côtés d'aventures palpitantes. La prose de Smith se caractérisait par son esprit et son observation perspicace de la nature humaine, lui assurant une place parmi les journalistes et romanciers de premier plan de son époque. Son talent unique résidait dans sa capacité à transformer des voyages personnels, comme ses excursions au Proche-Orient ou son ascension du Mont Blanc, en divertissements et œuvres littéraires largement populaires qui captivaient profondément le public.

The legendary Vikings of Scandinavia were among the most dynamic peoples of Europe. Throughout the Viking age (c. A.D. 800–100 ), the vibrancy and aggressive energy of this culture found expression in the bold, often fantastic designs of its art. The royalty-free collection contains over 175 of these designs, adapted from authentic images originating in the metalwork, woodwork, textiles, stone and bone carvings, and ceramics of the Viking homelands of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, as well as the lands they colonized: Iceland, northern Scotland, the Isle of Man, Ireland, and others. Motifs include sinuously intertwining patterns reminiscent of Celtic art, real and mythological animals, dragon-slaying heroes on horseback, "gripping beasts," and many more, all exuding a sense of power and confidence. Whether you're an artist, illustrator or craftsperson, or simply an admirer of dramatic, eye-catching design, this convenient, inexpensive volume will provide a handy source of inspiration, as well as striking embellishment for a host of graphic projects.
