Christoph Niemann explains how things work and I believe him!
“Kino awakened in the near dark. The stars still shone and the day had drawn only a pale wash of light in the lower sky to the east…”
It has been a long time since I have picked up a book and I had the great fortune of this being the one I chose to break my literary fast on. Simply amazing.
I was able to visit one of my favorite buildings while back East - The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale. I posted about it earlier here.
H.G. Wells has been the author of the month for me, first ‘The Time Machine’ and then ‘The Invisible Man’. The image above was the closest I could find to what was in my mind’s eye as Griffin described to Kemp how he became a transparent mad man.
‘Treasure Island’ is up next, but not before I squeeze in a double feature of these two classics from the silver screen. Both of which, I am quite sure, will not be nearly as good as their literary counterparts.
An integrated branding campaign based around the illustrative reinterpretation of classic book covers directed toward junior-high-school students.
BEINECKE RARE BOOK AND MANUSCRIPT LIBRARY
This is one of my favorite buildings. Located on the campus of Yale, it has thin sheets of marble as its main facade - filtering in just a glow of the sun as to protect all of the valuable books it holds.
It would be great just to have one book on either end as bookends - either way, great idea and execution.
I love how passion and excellence can make you interested in something you otherwise wouldn’t be.
Stunning photography to be had and a book to be purchased over at birdbook.org.
